" America&amp;#039;s Next Top Model contestant Shannon Stewart has said that she is ready for the competition to begin on the new All-Stars cycle.  The model appeared on the first ever cycle of America&amp;#039;s Next Top Model in 2003, and will be one of the fan favorites returning once more for the 17th cycle, which premieres tonight on The CW.  Shannon says in a promo video: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s crazy, I was on cycle one and now it&amp;#039;s 17! I thought I would be the oldest and then I thought, &amp;#039;Wait a minute, I was kind of young - only 18 - on season one&amp;#039; so I&amp;#039;m not the oldest or the youngest.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m right in the middle, which is good!&amp;quot; Watch more of Shannon talking about America&amp;#039;s Next Top Model below:      In the video, Shannon also says that she was &amp;quot;excited&amp;quot; to return to the competition because it is about &amp;quot;branding&amp;quot; rather than just modeling, adding: &amp;quot;I was ready for the competition and some lasting memories and seeing the girls from past seasons.&amp;quot;  She laughs: &amp;quot;I grew up playing sports. Basketball, volleyball, track, swimming. I&amp;#039;m ready for some competition! I love competition!&amp;quot;  Other models competing on the &amp;#039;All-Stars&amp;#039; cycle include: Angelea Preston, Isis King, Allison Harvard, Camille McDonald, Laura Kirkpatrick, Kayla Ferrel, Bre Scullark, Brittany Bower, Dominique Reighard, Lisa D&amp;#039;Amato, Bianca Golden, Alexandria Everett and Sheena Sakai.
