This made her highly uncomfortable; as Ferrel revealed that not only was she gay, but she had also been sexually abused as a child, admitting that having to be intimate with a man "freaked me out. When a clip of that scene with Evans was posted on Twitter in and went viral, host Tyra Banks was hit with backlash. She took to social media and addressed "posts about the insensitivity of some past ANTM moments," tweeting , "I agree with you. White people darkening their skin is a hot-button issue that has led to TV hosts being fired and politicians apologizing for ill-conceived costumes.
Yet models in blackface was a phenomenon that took place in America's Next Top Model repeatedly over the years. As Vox pointed out, there were several occasions when models had their skin darkened for photo shoots throughout the show's run.
The first time it occurred, Vox recalled, was in the second cycle, when model Xiomara Frans ' skin was darkened so she could resemble model-singer Grace Jones. A clip from the episode showed host Tyra Banks seemingly missing how offensive the whole thing was when she complained that Frans' reluctance to participate in the shoot was because "ethnic women never want to be darker. Another blackface incident took place in the 13th cycle, when red-headed, pale-skinned model Nicole Fox's skin was darkened for a photo shoot in which the models were all meant to be biracial.
Alexander, Jay Manuel, and Nigel Barker. According to a report by Page Six , the "ugly firings" were the result of a planned shift for the upcoming season, with a "show insider" telling Page Six that ANTM would be putting a greater emphasis on social media. Executive producer Ken Mok addressed the dismissal of the trio in a statement. Alexander have been an integral part of the America's Next Top Model brand and they helped turn this show into the household name it is today," he said, declaring they had been "amazing assets to the show.
Barker, however, insisted there were no hard feelings, telling E! News that it "wasn't a shock" that he was let go, insisting it was "a network thing" to axe him.
As the show evolved in its early seasons, Dickinson ultimately parted ways with the show. After five cycles, Twiggy also exited , with "scheduling conflicts" said to be the reason.
While Twiggy never confirmed whether she had quit or been fired, that wasn't the case with her successor. She candidly told Ferguson, "I'm looking for a job. Producers of America's Next Top Model could be forgiven for wanting to shake things up in the show's 18th cycle, although there's no denying that the ensuing shakeup was ill-conceived.
Cycle 18 featured the infamous "British Invasion" edition, which pitted seven wannabe American models against seven fan-favorite contestants from the show's U. Notably, the "British Invasion" season featured publicist Kelly Cutrone behind the judges' table. Tensions between Cutrone and British model Louise Watts simmered and then boiled over when the two clashed over Watts' running on the set. America's Next Top Model Explore. Contestants Judges.

But Cycle 10 delivered in this front by introducing Dominique, Fatima, and more. Even though the winner is probably one of the weakest in the history of the show, that doesn't take away from what's an overall incredible cycle.
Cycle 11 had some tough shoes to fill, airing after what's still considered one of the best cycles, with some of the most memorable models. However, it exceeded expectations instead of subverting them - something that America's Next Top Model is quite infamous for doing in later seasons.
What makes this cast so great is how diverse the cast is, not just where looks are concerned, but also in terms of personalities, goals, stories, and relationships. After airing for so long, the show needed to come up with something unique, and that's exactly what cycle 11 did. Say what you will about the introduction of boys into the competition, it made for some quality reality television. As time went by, the competition really did start being less about becoming a successful, serious high-fashion model, and a lot more about becoming a reality star, who just happened to model.
All of this, of course, backed by social media. Definitely worth bingeing! This cycle is a handful. It lands on this list due to the fact that you'll most definitely not be bored while watching it!
The looks alone are enough to make us laugh, considering all the models look like they just got out of a time machine that went back to the late 90searly 00s, and the photoshoots? Holy moly, Tyra was sure feeling creative in this cycle. In addition to all of this, cycle 8 also blessed us with some unforgettable characters. We had Natasha, the mail Russian bride yes, you read that right who was often having some alone time with her husband on the phone.
The girl was actually a great model, and she had the best comeback in the history of ANTM to Brittany, the annoying brat that lost it when she was late on the go-see challenge. For the third time around, we got a mixed competition, with boys and girls fighting for the title of America's Next Model. Yet again, there wasn't much in terms of high-fashion or fashion at all, to be honest , but there were plenty of juicy moments to entertain us, and probably the best male models to date! If nothing else, we got the gem that was Nyle, both the first male and deaf contestant to ever win the show.
Nyle brought some very touching moments, while Devin brought the drama, Mikey brought the looks, and, thankfully, Tyra got rid of the social media portion of the judging. Frankly, that was just terrible. Short girls everywhere rejoiced when Tyra announced cycle 13 would be for girls who were 5'7'' or less. For the first time ever in the history of the show, models who dreamt of making it big in the fashion industry but were discarded due to their heights got a chance to prove their worth and compete on America's Next Top Model.
There wasn't a lot of drama in this cycle, but it was fun, and it did try to focus quite a bit in helping the girls when it comes to their chances in becoming actual models. It had a slightly more professional tone to it, there wasn't the typical villain, and along with a cycle 15, it deserves to be watched because, for a change, it actually focused more on being a show about modeling than anything else. Tyra was nothing but inventive, and towards the end of the show, she was really picking at straws in order to keep the momentum of the show going.
When it was time for cycle 19 to come around, we got to see college girls from all around the country try out for the series, which resulted in perhaps the most high-pitched cycle ever. It's worth a watch mostly because we got so many huge changes.
