Girls have won from Cycle 1 through Cycle 20. Cycle 20 was the first cycle guys could compete in, but they didn't succeed in winning until Keith Carlos claimed Cycle 21's title and now Nyle DiMarco gets to join him as the second male winner since he is Cycle 22's winner.
DiMarco came into this competition as the only deaf competitor, but regardless of not being able to hear and needing an interpreter throughout filming, proved he can model like any hearing person. Plus, he has the most stunning eyes!
