We're more than a month away from the cycle 10 premiere of America's Next Top Model, but it's never too early to get a little taste of what the next season will bring, right?

Of course not, and that's why I'm thankful The CW was kind enough to release the names of this cycles 14 finalists and a sparse number of details about the season.

Click onward to get a brief glimpse of the 14 catty women who will bite, claw, and accost their way to a $100,000 modeling deal with CoverGirl and a six-page fashion spread in Seventeen magazine.

This season the best modeling competition on TV returns to its roots by heading back to the Big Apple, which is where the first cycle took place.

In addition, supermodel Paulina Porizkova will be joining the panel as a replacement to the inimitable Twiggy. Let's hope she brings back some of the grit the panel lost when Janice Dickinson took a hike.

Of course, the most important part of any Top Model cycle is the girls so let's take a quick look at the crazies participating in the competition this go around:

Stacy Ann

By my count, there are three people in the food industry, four students, four in customer service/sales, an artist, a production coordinator, and a person who works in finance ranging in age from 18 to 24. Any way you break it down, we've got fourteen women that are probably certifiably insane for subjecting themselves to this grueling competition. At least that's what I hope.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that "Amis", hailing from my home state of Oklahoma, is going to runaway with this thing. You heard it here first ladies and gentlemen.
