Looks like the rumors are true about Cycle 13 featuring all "short" models..sorta cool I guess.

While Cycle 12 has fans excited, the twist on America's Next Top Model's 13th Cycle has everyone buzzing. Even so, it's best to hear it from the show's casting director, Michelle Mock-Falcon. She was recently interviewed by Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch, and she discussed the reasons behind Cycle 13's exciting turn of events.

According to the CW, Cycle 13 will be filled with models 5'7” and under for the first time since America's Next Top Model premiered. Michelle Mock-Falcon and the show have been swarmed by girls hoping to make it on the series, but couldn't fulfill the height requirement.

“Since the show started, we've always had girls under 5'7" asking and begging, quite frankly, Tyra to please give them a chance,” Mock-Falcon explained. “I mean, she would get stopped in the street, in restaurants, anywhere, by girls asking how they can do it being as short as they are. We've been thinking about it for a while now, what a great opportunity to give these girls that opportunity. America's Next Top Model Cycle 13 is all about opportunity...”

WTF is wrong with you people that are making comments on here! First off are you THAT retarded that you think Tyra is ACTUALLY reading this, or GOING to or something?! This isn't even a site she has any affiliation with! You think she goes searching all the millions of sites out there that speak of ANTM or something? Especially you "NADINE COLLIER", you speak as if this is her site or something and are speaking to her! Although I AM convinced YOU ARE indeed retarded since you cant even speak right or spell at all! I Mean COME ON you cant even spell Tyra's own name correctly! Could you be any more insulting! Im not usually one to hate, but this is just ridiculous and something needed to be said!! Then To "NAVIL" I am looking for information on auditions near Chicago as well, but COME ON NOW, there is no reason to F-In SPAM HERE!! That's SO Rude and annoying!!

YOU MISSED IT> LOOK HARDER! It was march 25th, rosemont haha

I flew all the way from Florida for the casting because I had missed the Miami castings to figure out they were still picking taller girls. I am 5'1, and they didn't pick anyone shorter then about 5'5,and they even picked a girl who was 5'10. I don't think they should advertise 5'7 and under if they truely didn't mean it because it isn't right to get peoples hopes up and then not even give them the time of day. They're are PLENTY of beautiful short models out there, and it doesn't mean we have to be on a runway, thats unrealistic, but there are many other things we can do.
