'''''America's Next Top Model''''' (often shortened to '''''Top Model''''' or abbreviated as '''''ANTM''''') is a [[reality television]] show created and hosted by former [[Victoria's Secret]] model [[Tyra Banks]]. 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 among regular programming on UPN's successor network, [[The CW]], and thus far is the network's highest rated series<ref>http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2006-12-06-CW-cover_x.htm</ref><ref>http://www.abcmedianet.com/pressrel/dispDNR.html?id=112806_09</ref>. The show will continue until at least the 2009-10 season. <ref>http://entertainment.tv.yahoo.com/news/va/20070722/118516573800p.html</ref> The opening theme is sung by Tyra Banks and is produced by [[Rodney Jerkins|Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins]]. Banks co-produces the show with [[Ken Mok]] and Anthony Dominici.<ref>http://www.cwtv.com/shows/americas-next-top-model/about</ref> For the 2006-2007 Television Season, ANTM was the #1 show in average viewers on [[The CW]]. <ref>http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/features/e3ifbfdd1bcb53266ad8d9a71cad261604f</ref>
A scion of a family of officials from [[Orléans]], his father was Hervé-Guillaume Le Normant du Fort, trésorier général des Monnaies. His uncle was the financier [[Charles François Paul Le Normant de Tournehem|Le Normant de Tournehem]] in 1741, a [[tax farming (France)|tax farmer]] and legal guardian of Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson (Madame de Pompadour). By arrangement of his uncle, Le Normant d'Étiolles married Madame de Pompadour in 1741. He also followed his uncle as a financier.


==Format==
The couple had two children, a boy in 1741, who died the year following his birth, and a daughter, [[Alexandrine-Jeanne d'Étiolles]], nicknamed "Fanfan", born [[August 10]], [[1744]]. She died in June 1754 at the age of 9 years old from a stomach ailment, possibly [[peritonitis]].
Each season of ''America's Next Top Model'' has from 9-13 episodes and starts with 10-14 contestants. Episodically, one contestant is eliminated, though there have been cases of a double elimination or no elimination 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 at about two-thirds of the way through the season (the remaining five or six contestants).


Each episode of ''Top Model'', covering the events of roughly a week of real time (however, while overseas, an episode roughly covers three to four days, totalling two weeks of filming), features a fashion challenge, photoshoot or commercial, judging, and critique of each contestant and her performance by the panel led by [[Tyra Banks]], and the elimination of one or more contestants. The current panel includes fashion icon [[Twiggy]], photographer [[Nigel Barker]] and runway coach [[J. Alexander (model)|J. Alexander]]. Each episode is usually associated with a theme in the world of modeling, such as dealing with the press in interviews, selling a commercial product, or appearing in a runway show.
In June 1745, [[Louis XV of France|Louis XV]], who had taken a particular liking to the enigmatic and beautiful [[Madame de Pompadour]], arranged for her to become his official mistress, a position she came by with the blessing of her husband's father. Louis XV offered Le Normant the position of ambassador to [[Turkey]], to remove him from the scene, but he refused. Louis then arranged a legal separation of Madame de Pompadour from her husband, who became the most famous [[cuckold]] in France. He never forgave his wife for her treachery. He consoled himself with affairs with other women in Paris, having several children. After Pompadour's death, he discreetly married Marie-Aimée Maltha, formerly a dancer and the mother of his children, and they lived quietly at the manoir de Baillon, near the [[Abbey de Royaumont]].


An episode usually begins with the contestants receiving training in an area concurrent with the week's theme. For example, contestants may get coached in runway walking, improvisational acting, or applying make-up to suit various occasions. A related challenge soon follows, such as a mock runway show or interview, and a winner is chosen by a judge. She receives some prize, such as clothing, a night out, or an advantage at the next photo shoot, and she is usually allowed to share the benefits with a certain number of other contestants of her choice.
He and his new wife were detained for over a year in the [[Reign of Terror]]. Later released, Charles-Guillaume died peacefully in his home on the rue du Sentier.


The next segment is a photoshoot, and each contestant's performance will reflect heavily on her judging for that week. Each season features photoshoots such as bikini or lingerie shots, beauty shots, posing nude or semi-nude, posing with a male model, and posing with animal(s). Usually one photoshoot per season (excluding Cycle 4) is replaced with a commercial shoot, though in one episode of Cycle 2, the remaining contestants appeared in the music video for Tyra's single, "Shake Ya Body" in lieu of a photoshoot.

[[Category:1799 deaths|Etiolles, Charles-Guillaume Le Normant d']]


The final segment of each episode is judging. During judging, contestants are often given a challenge in some area such as posing, selling a product, runway walking, or choosing a representative outfit or make-up look to satisfy a given prompt. Each contestant's photo is then shown and evaluated by the judging panel. After all photos have been evaluated, the contestants leave the room as the judges deliberate. The elimination process is ceremonious, as Tyra reveals and hands out the photos of the contestants that have not been eliminated one-by-one, each time saying, "Congratulations. You are still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model". The last two contestants who have not received their photos are brought up as "the bottom two," and Tyra critiques each one before revealing which of the two has been eliminated. However, there have been two exceptions, as Cycle 4 had a double elimination, and in Cycle 5, both of the bottom two were spared.

The format varies slightly when only three contestants remain. In the season finalé, the three remaining aspiring models compete in one last photo shoot and/or commercial, followed by a judging session in which the judges eliminate the contestant they feel to be the weakest. The final two then compete in a runway show in front of the judges (supposedly, coinciding with fashion week in that country, for some cycles), and both their performance there and during the entire competition is considered when the judges declare a winner.

===ANTM Crossovers===
[[America's Next Top Model, Cycle 3|Cycle 3]], [[America's Next Top Model, Cycle 4|Cycle 4]], [[America's Next Top Model, Cycle 5|Cycle 5]], [[America's Next Top Model, Cycle 6|Cycle 6]] and [[America's Next Top Model, Cycle 7|Cycle 7]] have provided guest starring opportunities for contestants winning acting challenges and for the champions. The model rarely appears in more than one episode of the show.

Contestants who have won guest-star roles include:
*[[Eva Pigford]] (Cycle 3) got the opportunity to guest star on the short-lived UPN show ''[[Kevin Hill]]'', was in the movie ''Crossover'', and did a cameo on CW's ''[[The Game (US TV series)|The Game]]'' where the joke was that a character thought she didn't win the title of America's Next Top Model. She will next appear in an episode of CW's [[Smallville (TV series)|Smallville]]
*[[Naima Mora]] (Cycle 4), [[Kim Stolz]] (Cycle 5) and Furonda Brasfield (Cycle 6) had guest roles on the TV series ''[[Veronica Mars]]''. Naima Mora won the acting challenge in Cycle 4, and was offered a role on ''Kevin Hill'', which she refused. She was eventually given a small guest-starring role on the second season premiere episode of ''Veronica Mars''. Kim and Furonda's roles were cameos in the same series.
*[[Kim Stolz]] has signed on to [[MTV]]'s [[Total Request Live|TRL]] as a [[news reporter]]. She is also a reporter for the [[LOGO]] network.
*[[CariDee English]] (Cycle 7), who won the acting challenge in Episode 9, guest-starred in an episode of the series ''[[One Tree Hill (TV series)|One Tree Hill]]''.

For [[America's Next Top Model, Cycle 8|Cycle 8]], the acting-themed episode had [[Tia Mowry]] of CW's ''[[The Game (US TV series)|The 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. However, [[Natasha Galkina]] won a [[correspondent]] job for ''[[The Tyra Banks Show]]''

===ANTM with The CW===
It was announced on [[January 24]], [[2006]], that ''Top Model'' would be part of the new [[The CW Television Network|The CW]] network, a merger between [[UPN]] and [[The WB]], when the next cycle started. Prior to the announcement of merging with The CW, UPN had committed to renewing the series through its ninth cycle on [[January 20]], [[2008]].<ref>http://www.thefutoncritic.com/calendar.aspx?view=renewals</ref> for which casting was conducted throughout mid-2006.

===ANTM Writers' Labor Dispute===
On [[July 21]], [[2006]], the writers of ''America'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 the [[Writers Guild of America, west]], which would allow them regulated [[wages]], access to portable [[health insurance]], and [[pensions|pension 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]].<ref>{{cite web|url=

Blau, a former TWoP recapper who covered the series, and at the time was an ''ANTM'' show producer.<ref>{{cite web|url=

===Criticism===
Fashion designer [[Karl Lagerfeld]], commenting on ''ANTM'' and ''[[Project Runway]]'' in the September 2006 issue of ''[[Harper's Bazaar]]'', slammed it as "trash that is funny for five minutes if you're with other people. If you're alone, it's not funny. Those girls will ''never'' be the next [[Gemma Ward]]. There is no justice in the fashion business."<ref>''[[Harper's Bazaar]]'', September 2006 retrieved [[August 24]], [[2006]] Actress/Former Model [[Rebecca Romijn]], comments how the show isn't realistic and stuff like this doesn't happen in the fashion industry.</ref> Ironically, Ward was discovered as an audience member in Australia's Search for a Supermodel, a similarly-themed model reality show. Lagerfeld served as a photographer for the French version of ANTM.
[[Allure (magazine)]] criticized the show in its October 2006 issue, saying that ''ANTM'' "hasn't exactly produced any actual supermodels." Compared to ''ANTM'', participants in [[American Idol]] are thought to have a better chance at a good career in their field, even if they don't actually win the contest.<ref>[http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/tv/305190_tv27.html 'Idol' looks like a better ticket to a dream career], Melanie McFarland, [[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]], February 26, 2007</ref>

America's Next Top Model (often shortened to Top Model or abbreviated as ANTM) is a reality television show created and hosted by former Victoria's Secret model Tyra Banks. 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 among regular programming on UPN's successor network, The CW, and thus far is the network's highest rated series[1][2]. The show will continue until at least the 2009-10 season. [3] The opening theme is sung by Tyra Banks and is produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Banks co-produces the show with Ken Mok and Anthony Dominici.[4] For the 2006-2007 Television Season, ANTM was the #1 show in average viewers on The CW. [5]

Format

Each season of America's Next Top Model has from 9-13 episodes and starts with 10-14 contestants. Episodically, one contestant is eliminated, though there have been cases of a double elimination or no elimination 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 at about two-thirds of the way through the season (the remaining five or six contestants).

Each episode of Top Model, covering the events of roughly a week of real time (however, while overseas, an episode roughly covers three to four days, totalling two weeks of filming), features a fashion challenge, photoshoot or commercial, judging, and critique of each contestant and her performance by the panel led by Tyra Banks, and the elimination of one or more contestants. The current panel includes fashion icon Twiggy, photographer Nigel Barker and runway coach J. Alexander. Each episode is usually associated with a theme in the world of modeling, such as dealing with the press in interviews, selling a commercial product, or appearing in a runway show.

An episode usually begins with the contestants receiving training in an area concurrent with the week's theme. For example, contestants may get coached in runway walking, improvisational acting, or applying make-up to suit various occasions. A related challenge soon follows, such as a mock runway show or interview, and a winner is chosen by a judge. She receives some prize, such as clothing, a night out, or an advantage at the next photo shoot, and she is usually allowed to share the benefits with a certain number of other contestants of her choice.

The next segment is a photoshoot, and each contestant's performance will reflect heavily on her judging for that week. Each season features photoshoots such as bikini or lingerie shots, beauty shots, posing nude or semi-nude, posing with a male model, and posing with animal(s). Usually one photoshoot per season (excluding Cycle 4) is replaced with a commercial shoot, though in one episode of Cycle 2, the remaining contestants appeared in the music video for Tyra's single, "Shake Ya Body" in lieu of a photoshoot.

The final segment of each episode is judging. During judging, contestants are often given a challenge in some area such as posing, selling a product, runway walking, or choosing a representative outfit or make-up look to satisfy a given prompt. Each contestant's photo is then shown and evaluated by the judging panel. After all photos have been evaluated, the contestants leave the room as the judges deliberate. The elimination process is ceremonious, as Tyra reveals and hands out the photos of the contestants that have not been eliminated one-by-one, each time saying, "Congratulations. You are still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model". The last two contestants who have not received their photos are brought up as "the bottom two," and Tyra critiques each one before revealing which of the two has been eliminated. However, there have been two exceptions, as Cycle 4 had a double elimination, and in Cycle 5, both of the bottom two were spared.

The format varies slightly when only three contestants remain. In the season finalé, the three remaining aspiring models compete in one last photo shoot and/or commercial, followed by a judging session in which the judges eliminate the contestant they feel to be the weakest. The final two then compete in a runway show in front of the judges (supposedly, coinciding with fashion week in that country, for some cycles), and both their performance there and during the entire competition is considered when the judges declare a winner.

ANTM Crossovers

Cycle 3, Cycle 4, Cycle 5, Cycle 6 and Cycle 7 have provided guest starring opportunities for contestants winning acting challenges and for the champions. The model rarely appears in more than one episode of the show.

Contestants who have won guest-star roles include:

  • Eva Pigford (Cycle 3) got the opportunity to guest star on the short-lived UPN show Kevin Hill, was in the movie Crossover, and did a cameo on CW's The Game where the joke was that a character thought she didn't win the title of America's Next Top Model. She will next appear in an episode of CW's Smallville
  • Naima Mora (Cycle 4), Kim Stolz (Cycle 5) and Furonda Brasfield (Cycle 6) had guest roles on the TV series Veronica Mars. Naima Mora won the acting challenge in Cycle 4, and was offered a role on Kevin Hill, which she refused. She was eventually given a small guest-starring role on the second season premiere episode of Veronica Mars. Kim and Furonda's roles were cameos in the same series.
  • Kim Stolz has signed on to MTV's TRL as a news reporter. She is also a reporter for the LOGO network.
  • CariDee English (Cycle 7), who won the acting challenge in Episode 9, guest-starred in an episode of the series One Tree Hill.

For Cycle 8, the acting-themed episode had Tia Mowry of CW's The 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. However, Natasha Galkina won a correspondent job for The Tyra Banks Show

ANTM with The CW

It was announced on January 24, 2006, that Top Model would be part of the new The CW network, a merger between UPN and The WB, when the next cycle started. Prior to the announcement of merging with The CW, UPN had committed to renewing the series through its ninth cycle on January 20, 2008.[6] for which casting was conducted throughout mid-2006.

ANTM Writers' Labor Dispute

On July 21, 2006, the writers of America'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 the Writers Guild of America, west, which would allow them regulated wages, access to portable health insurance, and pension 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 website Television Without Pity with Daniel J. Blau, a former TWoP recapper who covered the series, and at the time was an ANTM show producer.[8] In November 2006, the writers on strike were taken off payroll.[9]

Criticism

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, commenting on ANTM and Project Runway in the September 2006 issue of Harper's Bazaar, slammed it as "trash that is funny for five minutes if you're with other people. If you're alone, it's not funny. Those girls will never be the next Gemma Ward. There is no justice in the fashion business."[10] Ironically, Ward was discovered as an audience member in Australia's Search for a Supermodel, a similarly-themed model reality show. Lagerfeld served as a photographer for the French version of ANTM.

Allure (magazine) criticized the show in its October 2006 issue, saying that ANTM "hasn't exactly produced any actual supermodels." Compared to ANTM, participants in American Idol are thought to have a better chance at a good career in their field, even if they don't actually win the contest.[11]
