On September 19, Tyra Banks will kick off cycle 9 of America's Next Top Model on the CW. She has said that this season she's looking for models who are original and bring something different to the table. As usual, Banks hopes to discover the world's next supermodel. When the cameras stop rolling and the show is over, how many of these models really go on to successful careers? Last season's contestants Felicia Provost, Whitney Cunningham, and Renee Alway sat down with BuddyTV today to talk about life after America's Next Top Model.

Felicia Provost was known among the cycle 8 contestants as "Baby Tyra" for bearing a striking resemblance to a younger version of the host. However, looking like Tyra doesn't mean you're going to get jobs like Tyra. "I do continue to work on my portfolio and go to photo shoots," she tells BuddyTV. "I did a fashion show recently in Chicago with Sarah (VanderHaar) and I'm planning on moving out there in November." Provost plans to focus on the goal she's always had her sights set on: becoming a professional model. Other contestants have their eyes set on bigger things.
