America's Next Top Model (abbreviatedANTM andTop Model) is an Americanreality television series and interactive competition in which a number of aspiring models compete for the title of "America's Next Top Model" and a chance to begin their career in the modeling industry. Created byTyra Banks, who also serves as an executive producer, and developed byKen Mok andKenya Barris,^[2] the series premiered in May 2003, and aired semiannually until 2012, then annually from 2013. The first six seasons (referred to as "cycles") aired onUPN, before UPN merged withThe WB to createThe CW in 2006. The following sixteen cycles aired on The CW until the series was first cancelled in October 2015.^[3] The series was revived in 2016 and has been airing onVH1 ever since. The series was among the highest-rated programs on UPN and was the highest-rated show on The CW from 2007 to 2010.^[4] Advertisers paid $61,315 per 30-second slot during the2011–12 television season, the highest of any series on The CW.^[5] The first 22 cycles of the series andcycle 24 were presented by Banks, whilecycle 23 was presented byRita Ora. The series also employs a panel of two or three additional judges, a creative director and a runway coach.

Cycles1–16,19 and 23–24 each consisted of a cast of 10–15 female contestants with no previous participation on the series.Cycle 17's cast consisted entirely of previous participants, whilecycle 18's had seven new contestants and seven formerBritain's Next Top Model participants. Cycles20–22 featured male contestants in the contest, including two male winners. As of April 2018^[update], 24 people have won the competition. Winners typically receive a feature in a magazine and a contract with a modeling agency, among other prizes. The series is the originator of the internationalTop Model franchise. Over fifty versions of the series have been produced internationally.

Background

This sectionneeds expansion with: the history of the show before 2006. You can help bymaking an edit requestadding to it.(September 2022)

It was announced on January 24, 2006, thatTop Model would be part of the newThe CW network, a merge betweenUPN andThe WB, when the seventh cycle started in September airing on Wednesdays. The series became the first series among regular programming to air on the network. Prior to the announcement of merging with The WB, UPN had committed to renewing the series through its ninth cycle on January 20, 2006,^[6] for which casting was conducted throughout mid-2006.America's Next Top Model was the only show left on the network that was originally from UPN.

On July 21, 2006, the writers ofAmerica's Next Top Model went on strike while working on cycle 7, set to premiere on the new CW Network in September 2006. The writers sought representation through theWriters Guild of America, West, which would allow them regulated wages, access to portablehealth insurance, andpension benefits. These benefits would be similar to those given to writers on scripted shows. The strike was the focus of a large rally of Hollywood writers coinciding with the premiere of the new network on September 20, 2006.^[7] The dispute was chronicled in a July 24 interview on the websiteTelevision Without Pity with Daniel J. Blau, a former recapper on the site who covered the series, and at the time was anAmerica's Next Top Model show producer.^[8] In November 2006, the writers on strike were taken off payroll.^[9]

To celebrate its tenth cycle,America's Next Top Model aired a special installment calledAmerica's Next Top Model: Exposed in two parts on the CW on Wednesday, February 6 & 13, 2008. It reviewed the best catfights, mishaps and most memorable photo shoots, personalities, defining moments and contained other segments about the show since cycles 1 to 9, and featured a special opening fusing all three openings together. Camille McDonald (cycles2 and17),Toccara Jones (cycle 3),Eva Pigford (cycle 3 winner),Bre Scullark (cycles5 and 17), Cassandra Whitehead (cycle 5), Joanie Dodds (cycle 6), Jael Strauss (cycle 8), Dionne Walters (cycle 8),Heather Kuzmich (cycle 9), and Bianca Golden (cycles 9 and 17) all returned to comment on events that happened in their or other cycles.

After announcing that the seventeenth season would be an All-Stars version, Banks said on The CW upfronts in May 2011, that there would not be a "normal" season of the show anymore.^[10] With the start of the eighteenthBritish Invasion cycle, the program converted tohigh definition, becoming the second-to-last primetime show on the five major English-language broadcast networks in the United States to make the switch, and the last to air in the regular season to do so.

The show is syndicated toNBCUniversal'scable division, withOxygen as well asStyle Network carrying the series, usually in marathon form throughout the daytime period on either network, and running through most of or an entire cycle.Bravo,MTV, andVH1 have also aired the series in the past.E! also currently airs reruns ofANTM.

Format

Main article:Top Model § Format description

Each cycle ofAmerica's Next Top Model has 9–16 episodes and starts with 10–16 contestants. Contestants are judged weekly on their overall appearance, participation in challenges, and best shot from that week's photo shoot; each episode, one contestant is eliminated, though in rare cases a double elimination or no elimination was given by consensus of the judging panel. Makeovers are administered to contestants early in the season (usually after the first or second elimination in the finals) and a trip to an international destination is scheduled about two-thirds of the way through the cycle.

Judges and other staff members

The series employs a panel of judges who critique contestants' progress throughout the competition. Throughout its broadcast, the program has employed seventeen different judges. The original panel consisted of Banks (who also serves as its presenter),Janice Dickinson,Kimora Lee Simmons, and Beau Quillian. Quillian and Simmons were replaced byNigel Barker and Eric Nicholson incycle 2, before Nicholson was replaced byNolé Marin incycle 3. Aftercycle 4, Marin and Dickinson were replaced byJ. Alexander andTwiggy incycle 5.Paulina Porizkova joined the panel incycle 10, in place of Twiggy. Aftercycle 12, Porizkova was fired by Banks and the panel was left with three judges (Banks, Alexander and Barker) incycle 13. Incycle 14, Alexander left the panel and was replaced byAndré Leon Talley, but continued as the series' runway coach. Incycle 18,Kelly Cutrone replaced Talley. After cycle 18, Banks fired long-standing cast members Barker, Alexander and photo shoot directorJay Manuel. Barker was replaced by Rob Evans incycle 19, and Manuel by Johnny Wujek. Alexander returned to the panel incycle 21 in place of Evans.^[11] For cycle 23 the entire panel, including Banks, was replaced withRita Ora,Ashley Graham,Drew Elliott and Law Roach^[12] whileStacey McKenzie replaced Alexander as runway coach. For the 24th cycle, Banks returned as the main judge and presenter, replacing Ora, while the rest of the personnel remained unchanged.^[13]

In the first eighteen cycles, an additional guest judge was welcomed to the panel each week. For the nineteenth and twentieth cycles, public voting was represented on the panel byBryanboy. For the twenty-first cycle public voting was simply presented on screen doing call-out.

Though not a judge,Jay Manuel served as the creative director during contestants' photo shoots for the first to eighteenth cycles. During the nineteenth and twentieth cycles, Johnny Wujek replaced Manuel as the creative director of all the shoots, andYu Tsai replaced Wujek in the twenty-first and twenty-second cycles. Elliot served as both judge and creative director in cycle 23 and 24.

Notes

^For season 9, all of the semi-finalists traveled by boat fromSan Juan to St. John's for casting week, before returning to the United States to start the competition.

Partnerships

America's Next Top Model was also connected with Banks' talk show, on which several contestants have appeared, most notably Natasha Galkina (cycle 8), who worked as a correspondent for the show.^[14] The show's stage was also used for the cycle 5 reunion show.

In 2008, Banks launched a new reality show inside theTyra Show, calledModelville which featured past contestantsRenee DeWitt (cycle 8), Bianca Golden (cycle 9), Dominique Reighard,Fatima Siad and Lauren Utter (all cycle 10) vying for a $50,000 contract withCarol's Daughter. The competition was ultimately won by Reighard.^[15]

TheANTM franchise released a clothing and accessories line based on the television show, which is sold at mostWalmart stores. It ranges from cosmetic products to handbags.^[16]

Video game

A video game loosely based on the series, also titledAmerica's Next Top Model, was released for theNintendo DS andWii on June 1, 2010. The game involves players playing as a model participating in a televised modeling competition while living in a mansion with the other models, though it does not feature any cast members from the television series, including Banks. It features customization options for hair, makeup, and clothing, and also allows players to engage incatfights with other models.^[17] ForCommon Sense Media, Christopher Healy gave the game three out of five stars, writing that it "does have a number of flaws" but that "one thing this game does very well ... is replicate the feeling of being on a reality show".^[18]

America's Next Top Model Dolls

TheAmerica's Next Top Model Dolls were a short-lived fashion doll line released byMGA Entertainment as a promotional tie-in with the show of the same name. The dolls were designed by MGA doll designer Lui Domingo and released in the fall of 2008.

The dolls came as a result of the legal battle betweenMattel and MGA over their fashion doll rivalry betweenBarbie andBratz. When MGA temporarily lost the rights to the Bratz dolls to Mattel, the company scrambled to come up with an emergency release line to replace Bratz in the meantime. The America's Next Top Model Dolls were the result, as a form of competition with Mattel's Top Model Barbie line that was released a year prior, but had no affiliation with this show.^[19] The concept art, sketches, and prototypes initially revealed 4 main characters, Sienna (a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian), Sydney (a brunette Asian), Paisley (a red-haired Caucasian), and Tascha (an African American). The Tascha prototype would not make it to production (but still be featured in all of the marketing), due to MGA's fears that the doll, being African American, would sell poorly, as black dolls have historically been known to be picked up in low quantities or not picked at all by stores and retailers if they believed they would not sell, especially if they're located in cities with a low black population. Resulting from the financial losses incurred from their legal battle with Mattel, the dolls would ultimately not feature the majority of the accessories that were advertised with them, likely a cost-cutting measure (which is also why Tascha was excluded from the doll line).^[20]

Only two waves would be released, Swimwear and Day-to-Night wear, all featuring only Sienna, Sydney, and Paisley. Four fashion packs were also released for the dolls, each featuring images of the four characters, including the never produced Tascha doll. The box for the dolls also made it clear under the logo that they were the only officially licensed dolls from the hit TV show, to differentiate them from Mattel's Top Model Barbie line. The boxes also featured before and after images of the dolls, in reference to the makeovers on the show, and the back of the box also included a backstory for each doll to show that they had multi-faceted personalities and dream careers besides modeling, to counter the accusations that the dolls would be poor role models for children. The dolls had proportions different to that of other MGA fashion dolls, with slightly smaller heads and more Barbie-esque bodies, with jointed torsos for posing and arms molded to be able to rest on their hips. The dolls also noticeably used leftovers from the Bratz line as part of their accessories, as the clothes were stitched from leftover Bratz clothing fabric, and the jewelry was simply repurposed from prior Bratz dolls.^[21]

The dolls were a financial failure, selling very poorly in spite of their association with the show (which had been declining in ratings by the time the dolls debuted), and were promptly discontinued after only two waves of dolls.

Deceased contestants

2015: Eighth-placing finalist Mirjana Puhar(cycle 21) was shot and killed on February 24, 2015 in her boyfriend's home inCharlotte, North Carolina.^[22]

2016: Kimberly Rydzewski(cycle 10) died on December 19, 2016. She was 29 years old.^[23]

2018: On December 4, 2018 Jael Strauss(cycle 8) died at age 34 due to stage 4 breast cancer.^[24]

Reception

Impact in pop culture

The show has been referred to in many series, such asABC Family'sGREEK,CBS'sThe Big Bang Theory, andFox'sFamily Guy. It also had its ownE! True Hollywood Story episode, featuring past contestants Ebony Haith, Giselle Samson,Elyse Sewell (all cycle 1),Adrianne Curry (cycle 1 winner), Camille McDonald (cycles 2 & 17), April Wilkner,Mercedes Scelba-Shorte (both cycle 2),Toccara Jones, Ann Markley, Amanda Swafford (all cycle 3),Eva Pigford (cycle 3 winner), Michelle Deighton (cycle 4), Brittany Brower (cycles 4 & 17),Naima Mora (cycle 4 winner), Ebony Taylor (cycle 5),Lisa D'Amato (cycle 5 & cycle 17 winner),Kim Stolz (cycle 5) andBre Scullark (cycles 5 & 17) as well as judges & personalsJanice Dickinson,Tyra Banks,Nigel Barker,J. Alexander,Jay Manuel,Ken Mok and Michelle Mock-Falcon. It covered the first five cycles and recently re-aired with a few added minutes of footage which cover cycles 6 to 10 andStylista.

In 2009,Oxygen Network aired a series based on the show calledTop Model Obsessed, featuring past contestantsLisa D'Amato (cycle 5 & cycle 17 winner),CariDee English (cycle 7 winner) and Bianca Golden (cycles 9 & 17).^[25]

Many creditAmerica's Next Top Model for inspiring later reality television shows, most notablyRuPaul's Drag Race. Kevin O'Keefe and Mathew Rodriguez noted thatAmerica's Next Top Model served as "the biggest inspiration" for the show and thatseason 1 ofRuPaul's Drag Race was "a parody of a couple different reality shows ... but more so (of)America's Next Top Model". They explain that "Top Model was a groundbreakingreality show" and that "it crawled so thatDrag Race could walk". They drew parallels betweenTyra Banks andRuPaul as black people "who (have) been at the top of their field" and "play a persona" on their respective shows. They also compared the judging panels, comparingMichelle Visage toNigel Barker as an "anchor main judge" who is "harsher in their critiques", although contrasted RuPaul's judges with Tyra's, stating that "RuPaul has never allowed adrag queen to sit on the panel the way Tyra would bring in eitherJanice Dickinson thenTwiggy." Moreover, the "first mini challenge of the first several seasons ofDrag Race used to always be a photoshoot" andseason 6's photoshoot of jumping off a platform was "directly taken from a photoshoot inseason 6 ofANTM, where they had to play fairy tale characters and jump" off a platform. Another "artefact" of Top Model's influence on the show comes fromDrag Race's focus on runway, withseason 8 contestantKim Chi being "criticised for not having a model walk".^{[citation needed]} Most importantly,America's Next Top Model "was one of the mostqueer shows on TV" with regard to the inclusion ofJay Manuel,J. Alexander andBenny Ninja on the judging panel and numerous openlyLGBTQ+ contestants, most notablyIsis King. It was "covertly queer enough to make the space on TV for something as queer asDrag Race."^[26]

U.S. television ratings

Criticism

Yahoo!'s Shine lifestyle website said the show contained cruelty and elements of humiliation, and that some critiques from the judges are "really cruel and cringe-inducing", claiming that the show "humiliates and degrades young women."^[67] The site created the list "10 reasons why 'America's Next Top Model' is bad for women, humans", citing such things as giving the contestants and women viewers unrealistic visions of life as a model, and "always espousing empowerment and female strength and then forcing the contestants into embarrassing scenarios far outside the realm of real-life modeling". One such scenario highlighted was when cycle 12's final two contestants "were made to wear bikinis so skimpy that the producers had to blur outAllison Harvard's butt cheeks", and performed a "creepily sexual mud fight," after which contestant and winner Teyona Anderson was "commended for taking her weave in her hand and whipping it around on the runway like a sexy feather boa."^[67]

Allure magazine criticized the show in its October 2006 issue, saying thatANTM "hasn't exactly produced any actual supermodels."^[68]

Ken Mok and Banks noticed that most of cycle 8's contestants were unusually heavy smokers. "Tyra and I understand the influence 'Top Model' has on a generation of young people, and we want to make sure we get the right message to our audience," Mok said, which then prompted the "green" theme of cycle 9.^[69]

The winner of cycle 9,Saleisha Stowers, was discovered to have been in aWendy's commercial, on a catwalk in the cycle 6 show and an episode of Tyra Banks Show prior to her participation. The rules of the competition stated that a contestant must not have appeared as a model in a national campaign during the five years prior to the production of the cycle in which they participate. The CW network said she had revealed her role in the Wendy's commercial, and "after reviewing the commercial, it was determined that her appearance did not amount to 'modeling' experience, and therefore did not exclude her from participating in the show."^[70]

After filming cycle 10, the producers ofAmerica's Next Top Model were served with a lawsuit from Michael Marvisi, the owner of theloft used as the Top Model house. The lawsuit claimed that the contestants as well as the production crew caused an estimated $500,000 in damages to the loft. Marvisi claims the contestants engaged in food fights, made holes in the walls, caused water damage to the bathroom, damaged a $15,000chandelier beyond repair, and caused $90,000 worth of damage to an electrical store. Also, the production crew was accused of damaging the flooring and making holes in the ceiling for lighting equipment.^[71]

The international versions of Top Model have generally been better received by critics. In an article forThe Atlantic,Adrienne Raphel explained that "Oddly enough, it's the foreignTop Model spinoffs that are in the more direct business of producing working models, like Ksenia Kahtovitch and Alice Burdeu, not the beautytainment ... queens of ANTM."^[74]

Slate's Torie Bosch points out that the international versions "have retained what works best aboutANTM—the in-house drama, the torturous makeovers, the ridiculous assignments—while skipping what's worst about it: hokey judge antics, outlandish veneration of Tyra, and sob-story contestants."^[75]

Spin-off

For a list of international spin-offs of the series that follow the same or a similar format, seeTop Model § International Top Model series.

In October 2008,The CW announced that it had ordered a spin-off pilot ofAmerica's Next Top Model, titledOperation Fabulous. The proposed show would have starredANTM creative director Jay Manuel and runway coach Mrs. J. Alexander as they travel the country to provide makeovers to everyday women. Tyra Banks and Ken Mok would have served as executive producers for the new show. However, The CW ultimately declined to pick up the show.^[76]

Distribution

Until 2012, only cycle 1 had been released domestically on DVD. This is because the home video license was formerly held byUPN, and was distributed for them byParamount Home Entertainment. Since the series is now independently produced, the video rights to the remaining cycles have, until recently, been open for acquisition (and therefore, the remaining seasons had yet to be issued on DVD or Blu-ray). However, on May 30, it was announced on the CW that cycles 2 and 3 were available to pre-order on DVD via new licenseeCBS Home Entertainment. They are now available for purchase onAmazon.com. Additionally, cycles 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 were also made into DVDs and sold on the website.^[77]

Forcycle 8, the acting-themed episode hadTia Mowry of CW'sThe Game give the girls a crash course in acting, although the "crossover" was limited to Mowry's appearance, as the challenge winner was not given a guest role as a prize. Instead,Renee DeWitt, who won the challenge, got a surprise visit from her husband and son which she shared with Dionne Walters, whose family also showed up for a surprise visit.
Several other contestants have landed roles on other UPN/CW shows, such asMercedes Scelba-Shorte (cycle 2), Ann Markley (cycle 3),Toccara Jones (cycle 3) andCassandra Whitehead (cycle 5).
