America’s Next Top Model (ANTM) is a reality tv show created and hosted by former supermodel Tyra Banks, who also serves as the head judge and executive producer of the show. The first “cycle” premiered in May 2003 and was one of UPN‘s highest rated shows. The show’s seventh cycle was the first of the shows on UPN’s successor, The CW, and is the network’s highest rated series.
Each cycle starts with 10-14 women competing for the title of America’s Next Top Model and a chance to start their career in the modeling industry. On each of the 9 – 13 episodes, one contestant is eliminated by the judging panel. As of Cycle 10, the current judging panel includes runway coach J. Alexander, fashion photographer Nigel Barker and Czech supermodel Paulina Porizkova. Previous judges included fashion icon Twiggy, supermodel Janice Dickinson, fashion stylist Nolé Marin, designer Kimora Lee Simmons and fashion editors Beau Quillian and Eric Nicholson. Photo shoot director Jay Manuel, though not a permanent judge, is featured every episode.
Makeovers are administered to contestants early in the season and a trip to an international destination is scheduled at about two-thirds of the way through the season. The women are put through a series of fashion challenges: photo or commercial shoots, press in interviews, selling a commercial product, appearing in a runway show or going on “go sees”. Eventually the final two compete in a runway show in front of the judges and a live audience, after which the judges declare a winner.
BCP’s work often appears on The CW Network’s website, CWTV dot com.
