'''''America's Next Top Model''''' (abbreviated '''''ANTM''''' and '''''Top Model''''') is an American [[reality 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.

Cycles [[America's Next Top Model season 1|1]]–[[America's Next Top Model season 16|16]], [[America's Next Top Model season 19|19]] and 23–24 each consisted of a cast of 10–15 female contestants with no previous participation on the series. [[America's Next Top Model season 17|Cycle 17]]'s cast consisted entirely of previous participants, while [[America's Next Top Model season 18|cycle 18]]'s had seven new contestants and seven former ''[[Britain's Next Top Model]]'' participants. Cycles [[America's Next Top Model season 20|20]]–[[America's Next Top Model season 22|22]] featured male contestants in the contest, including two male winners. {{As of|2018|April}}, 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 international ''[[Top Model]]'' franchise. Over fifty versions of the series have been produced internationally.

==Background==
{{expand section|the history of the show before 2006|date = September 2022}}
It was announced on January 24, 2006, that ''Top Model'' would be part of the new [[The CW]] network, a merge between [[UPN]] and [[The 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,<ref>http://www.thefutoncritic.com/calendar.aspx?view=renewals {{dead link|date=April 2011}}</ref> 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 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 magazine|url=http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1220040,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060813114842/http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1220040,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 13, 2006|title=Strikers on the Catwalk|magazine=Time|access-date=September 16, 2006 | first=Jeanne | last=McDowell | date=July 27, 2006}}</ref> The dispute was chronicled in a July 24 interview on the website [[Television Without Pity]] with Daniel J. Blau, a former recapper on the site who covered the series, and at the time was an ''America's Next Top Model'' show producer.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/americas_next_top_model/the_djb_interview.php|title=The DJB Interview|work=Television Without Pity|access-date=January 26, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090208220644/http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/americas_next_top_model/the_djb_interview.php|archive-date=February 8, 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> In November 2006, the writers on strike were taken off payroll.<ref>{{cite web

To celebrate its tenth cycle, ''America's Next Top Model'' aired a special installment called ''America'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 (cycles [[America's Next Top Model, Cycle 2|2]] and [[America's Next Top Model, Cycle 17|17]]), [[Toccara Jones]] ([[America's Next Top Model, Cycle 3|cycle 3]]), [[Eva Marcille|Eva Pigford]] (cycle 3 winner), [[Bre Scullark]] (cycles [[America's Next Top Model, Cycle 5|5]] and 17), Cassandra Whitehead (cycle 5), Joanie Dodds ([[America's Next Top Model, Cycle 6|cycle 6]]), Jael Strauss ([[America's Next Top Model, Cycle 8|cycle 8]]), Dionne Walters (cycle 8), [[Heather Kuzmich]] ([[America's Next Top Model, Cycle 9|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.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2011/05/tyra-banks-promises-no-more-normal-seasons-of-top-model.html |title=Tyra Banks promises no more 'normal' seasons of 'Top Model'&nbsp;– From Inside the Box&nbsp;– Zap2it |publisher=Zap2it |access-date=July 16, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725150717/http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2011/05/tyra-banks-promises-no-more-normal-seasons-of-top-model.html |archive-date=July 25, 2011  }}</ref> With the start of the eighteenth ''British Invasion'' cycle, the program converted to [[high-definition television|high 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 to [[NBCUniversal]]'s [[NBCUniversal Cable|cable division]], with [[Oxygen (TV channel)|Oxygen]] as well as [[Style 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 (American TV network)|Bravo]], [[MTV]], and [[VH1]] have also aired the series in the past. [[E!]] also currently airs reruns of ''ANTM''.

Each cycle of ''America'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 by [[Nigel Barker (photographer)|Nigel Barker]] and Eric Nicholson in [[America's Next Top Model (cycle 2)|cycle 2]], before Nicholson was replaced by [[Nolé Marin]] in [[America's Next Top Model (cycle 3)|cycle 3]]. After [[America's Next Top Model (cycle 4)|cycle 4]], Marin and Dickinson were replaced by [[J. Alexander (model)|J. Alexander]] and [[Twiggy]] in [[America's Next Top Model (cycle 5)|cycle 5]]. [[Paulina Porizkova]] joined the panel in [[America's Next Top Model (cycle 10)|cycle 10]], in place of Twiggy. After [[America's Next Top Model (cycle 12)|cycle 12]], Porizkova was fired by Banks and the panel was left with three judges (Banks, Alexander and Barker) in [[America's Next Top Model (cycle 13)|cycle 13]]. In [[America's Next Top Model (cycle 14)|cycle 14]], Alexander left the panel and was replaced by [[André Leon Talley]], but continued as the series' runway coach. In [[America's Next Top Model (cycle 18)|cycle 18]], [[Kelly Cutrone]] replaced Talley. After cycle 18, Banks fired long-standing cast members Barker, Alexander and photo shoot director [[Jay Manuel]]. Barker was replaced by Rob Evans in [[America's Next Top Model (cycle 19)|cycle 19]], and Manuel by Johnny Wujek. Alexander returned to the panel in [[America's Next Top Model (cycle 21)|cycle 21]] in place of Evans.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2014/02/14/americas-next-top-model-returns-with-a-familiar-face-j-alexander-104312/20140214cw01/ | title="America's Next Top Model" Returns with a Familiar Face – J. Alexander! | work=The Futon Critic | date=February 14, 2014 | access-date=February 15, 2014}}</ref> 
For cycle 23 the entire panel, including Banks, was replaced with [[Rita Ora]], [[Ashley Graham (model)|Ashley Graham]], [[Drew Elliott]] and Law Roach<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bustle.com/articles/199524-the-americas-next-top-model-cycle-23-cast-is-full-of-fresh-fierce-faces|title=The 'America's Next Top Model' Cycle 23 Cast Is Full Of Fresh & Fierce Faces|website=Bustle|last1=Rosenfeld|first1=Laura|date=December 12, 2016 |access-date=December 13, 2016}}</ref> while [[Stacey 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vh1.com/news/3haz1l/tyra-banks-will-return-as-host-of-americas-next-top-model|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220517143834/https://www.vh1.com/news/3haz1l/tyra-banks-will-return-as-host-of-americas-next-top-model|url-status=live|archive-date=May 17, 2022|title=Tyra Banks Will Return as Host of America's Next Top Model|last=Bellino|first=Damian|publisher=VH1. Viacom|date=March 16, 2017|access-date=March 16, 2017}}</ref>

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 by [[Bryanboy]]. 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, and [[Yu Tsai]] replaced Wujek in the twenty-first and twenty-second cycles. Elliot served as both judge and creative director in cycle 23 and 24.

==Series overview==
{{see also|List of America's Next Top Model episodes}}
Los Angeles has been the primary filming location of most of the seasons. The first three seasons of ''America's Next Top Model'' were filmed in New York City, along with seasons 10, 12 and 14; the latter three seasons were altered due to Banks's duties in ''[[The Tyra Banks Show]]'', and 23.

==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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tvguide.com/detail/tv-show.aspx?tvobjectid=195018&more=ucepisodelist|title=Tyra Banks episodes|work=[[TV Guide]]|access-date=December 17, 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20081207085459/http://www.tvguide.com/detail/tv-show.aspx?tvobjectid=195018&more=ucepisodelist| archive-date= December 7, 2008 | url-status= live}}</ref> The show's stage was also used for the cycle 5 reunion show.

In 2008, Banks launched a new reality show inside the ''Tyra Show'', called ''[[Modelville]]'' which featured past contestants [[Renee Alway|Renee DeWitt]] (cycle 8), Bianca Golden (cycle 9), Dominique Reighard, [[Fatima Siad]] and Lauren Utter (all cycle 10) vying for a $50,000 contract with [[Carol's Daughter]]. The competition was ultimately won by Reighard.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://tyrashow.warnerbros.com/TyraMediaPlayer/player.html?=promos/4041 | title= Modelville Promo | publisher=Warner Bros. | access-date=July 16, 2011}}</ref>

The ''ANTM'' franchise released a clothing and accessories line based on the television show, which is sold at most [[Walmart]] stores. It ranges from cosmetic products to handbags.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20081203cbs03|date = December 3, 2008 | publisher=TheFutonCritic|title = America's Next Top Model Struts into Walmart}}</ref>

===Video game===
A video game loosely based on the series, also titled ''America's Next Top Model'', was released for the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Wii]] 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 in [[catfight]]s with other models.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Picardi |first1=Phillip |title=ANTM: The Video Game |url=https://www.teenvogue.com/story/antm-the-video-game |website=[[Teen Vogue]] |access-date=November 26, 2023 |date=May 19, 2010}}</ref> For [[Common 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{{nbsp}}... is replicate the feeling of being on a reality show".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Healy |first1=Christopher |title=America's Next Top Model Game Review |url=https://www.commonsensemedia.org/game-reviews/americas-next-top-model |publisher=[[Common Sense Media]] |access-date=November 26, 2023}}</ref>

===America's Next Top Model Dolls===

The '''America's Next Top Model Dolls''' were a short-lived fashion doll line released by [[MGA 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 between [[Mattel]] and MGA over their fashion doll rivalry between [[Barbie]] and [[Bratz]]. 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.<ref>{{cite web|author=Orly Lobel |url=https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40180099-you-don-t-own-me |title=You Don't Own Me: The Court Battles That Exposed Barbie's Dark Side by Orly Lobel |publisher=Goodreads.com |date= |accessdate=2022-03-01}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite magazine| url = https://ew.com/article/2008/02/12/top-model-dolls/| title = Can't wait for the new 'Top Model' season? Act it out with dolls! {{!}} EW.com| magazine = [[Entertainment Weekly]]}}</ref> 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).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.coroflot.com/Lui_Domingo/Consumer-Products-Americas-Next-Top-Models-Fashion-Dolls |title=Consumer Products – America's Next Top Models Fashion Dolls by Lui Domingo at |website=Coroflot.com |date= |accessdate=2022-03-01}}</ref>

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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mgae.com/press|title=MGA Press|website=Mgae.com|access-date=March 1, 2022}}</ref>

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.

==Reception==
===Impact in pop culture===
The show has been referred to in many series, such as [[Freeform (TV channel)|ABC Family]]'s ''[[Greek (TV series)|GREEK]]'', [[CBS]]'s ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'', and [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]]'s ''[[Family Guy]]''. It also had its own ''[[E! 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 Marcille|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) and [[Bre Scullark]] (cycles 5 & 17) as well as judges & personals [[Janice Dickinson]], [[Tyra Banks]], [[Nigel Barker (photographer)|Nigel Barker]], [[J. Alexander (model)|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 and ''Stylista''.

In 2009, [[Oxygen Network]] aired a series based on the show called ''Top Model Obsessed'', featuring past contestants [[Lisa D'Amato]] (cycle 5 & cycle 17 winner), [[CariDee English]] (cycle 7 winner) and Bianca Golden (cycles 9 & 17).<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20081202oxygen01|publisher=TheFutonCritic|date = December 2, 2008|title = Are you obsessed with "America's Next Top Model?"|author=Oxygen}}</ref>

Many credit ''America's Next Top Model'' for inspiring later reality television shows, most notably ''[[RuPaul's Drag Race]]''. Kevin O'Keefe and Mathew Rodriguez noted that ''America's Next Top Model'' served as "the biggest inspiration" for the show and that [[RuPaul's Drag Race season 1|season 1]] of ''RuPaul'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 groundbreaking [[Reality television|reality show]]" and that "it crawled so that ''Drag Race'' could walk". They drew parallels between [[Tyra Banks]] and [[RuPaul]] 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, comparing [[Michelle Visage]] to [[Nigel Barker (photographer)|Nigel 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 a [[drag queen]] to sit on the panel the way Tyra would bring in either [[Janice Dickinson]] then [[Twiggy]]." Moreover, the "first mini challenge of the first several seasons of ''Drag Race'' used to always be a photoshoot" and [[RuPaul's Drag Race season 6|season 6's]] photoshoot of jumping off a platform was "directly taken from a photoshoot in [[America's Next Top Model season 6|season 6]] of ''ANTM'', where they had to play fairy tale characters and jump" off a platform. Another "artefact" of Top Model's influence on the show comes from ''Drag Race'''s focus on runway, with [[RuPaul's Drag Race season 8|season 8]] contestant [[Kim Chi (drag queen)|Kim Chi]] being "criticised for not having a model walk".{{citation needed|date=September 2023}} Most importantly, ''America's Next Top Model'' "was one of the most [[queer]] shows on TV" with regard to the inclusion of [[Jay Manuel]], [[J. Alexander (model)|J. Alexander]] and [[Benny Ninja]] on the judging panel and numerous openly [[LGBT|LGBTQ+]] contestants, most notably [[Isis King]]. It was "covertly queer enough to make the space on TV for something as queer as ''Drag Race''."<ref>{{Citation|title=How ANTM Inspired RuPaul's Drag Race {{!}} The Kiki Ep 4| date=August 26, 2018 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS9wu9tj9jQ| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211030/hS9wu9tj9jQ| archive-date=2021-10-30|language=en|access-date=2019-12-26}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

===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."<ref name="yahoo">{{cite web|url = http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/10-reasons-why-americas-next-top-model-is-bad-for-women-humans-462488/|title = 10 reasons why 'America's Next Top Model' is bad for women, humans|publisher = Yahoo!|first = Jennifer|last = Romolini|date = May 15, 2009|access-date = December 21, 2011|archive-date = October 24, 2011|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20111024013340/http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/10-reasons-why-americas-next-top-model-is-bad-for-women-humans-462488/|url-status = dead}}</ref> 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 out [[Allison 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."<ref name="yahoo" />

''[[Allure (magazine)|Allure]]'' magazine criticized the show in its October 2006 issue, saying that ''ANTM'' "hasn't exactly produced any actual supermodels."<ref>{{cite news|url= http://www.seattlepi.com/tv/305190_tv27.html|title= 'Idol' looks like a better ticket to a dream career|first= Melanie|last= McFarland|work=[[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]]|date= February 26, 2007}}</ref>

[[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 "[[Environmentalism|green]]" theme of cycle 9.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2007/may/16/images-continue-to-entice-kids-to-smoke/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011065024/http://venturacountystar.com/news/2007/may/16/images-continue-to-entice-kids-to-smoke/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 11, 2007 |title=Images continue to entice kids to smoke |first=Tara |last=Parker-Pope |work=The Wall Street Journal |date=May 16, 2007 }}</ref>

The winner of cycle 9, [[Sal Stowers|Saleisha Stowers]], was discovered to have been in a [[Wendy'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."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/top_model_9/2007_Dec_14_saleishas_model |title=Saleisha's modeling experiences and work with Tyra raise questions about her win + reality blurred |publisher=Realityblurred.com |date=December 14, 2007 |access-date=July 16, 2011}}</ref>

After filming cycle 10, the producers of ''America's Next Top Model'' were served with a lawsuit from Michael Marvisi, the owner of the [[loft]] 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 $15,000 [[chandelier]] 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/top-model-10-accused-of-causing-500000-in-damage-nyc-loft-6694.php |title='Top Model 10' accused of causing $500,000 in damage to NYC loft |publisher=Reality TV World |access-date=July 16, 2011}}</ref>

The international versions of Top Model have generally been better received by critics. In an article for ''The Atlantic'', [[Adrienne Raphel]] explained that "Oddly enough, it's the foreign ''Top 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."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/08/americas-next-top-model/400019/|title=Brands and Beauties: How 'America's Next Top Model' Lost Its Way|last=Raphel|first=Adrienne|author-link=Adrienne Raphel|date=2015-08-05|website=The Atlantic|language=en-US|access-date=2020-02-05}}</ref>

''Slate''{{`s}} Torie Bosch points out that the international versions "have retained what works best about ''ANTM''—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."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://slate.com/culture/2009/09/why-you-should-watch-the-international-versions-of-america-s-next-top-model.html|title=Why you should watch the international versions of America's Next Top Model.|last=Bosch|first=Torie|date=2009-09-09|website=Slate Magazine|language=en|access-date=2020-02-05}}</ref>

===Spin-off===
{{For|a list of international spin-offs of the series that follow the same or a similar format|Top Model#International Top Model series}}
In October 2008, [[The CW]] announced that it had ordered a spin-off pilot of ''America's Next Top Model'', titled ''Operation Fabulous''. The proposed show would have starred ''ANTM'' 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.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.popcrunch.com/americas-next-top-model-spinoff-operation-fabulous/ |title=America's Next Top Model" Spinoff "Operation Fabulous |publisher=Popcrunch.com |date=October 10, 2008 |access-date=July 16, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101123210840/http://www.popcrunch.com/americas-next-top-model-spinoff-operation-fabulous/ |archive-date=November 23, 2010 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

==Distribution==
Until 2012, only cycle 1 had been released domestically on DVD. This is because the home video license was formerly held by [[United Paramount Network|UPN]], and was distributed for them by [[Paramount 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 licensee [[CBS Home Entertainment]]. They are now available for purchase on [[Amazon.com]]. Additionally, cycles 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 were also made into DVDs and sold on the website.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=movies-tv&field-keywords=america's+next+top+model+dvd&rh=n:2625373011,k:america's+next+top+model+dvd&ajr=2|title=Amazon.com: america's next top model dvd – DVD: Movies & TV|website=www.amazon.com|access-date=February 2, 2018}}</ref>

==Sponsors==
For cycle 1, [[Revlon]] sponsored this show with the products and prizes. For cycle 2, [[Sephora]] replaced Revlon as the commercial sponsor. Through cycles 3–18, [[CoverGirl]] replaced Sephora as the continuation on products and prizes. For cycle 19, shoe retailer [[Nine West]] and Smashbox sponsored with campaigns, but the cosmetics sponsorship has ended. For cycle 20, [[Guess (clothing)|Guess]] sponsored with a US$100,000 ad campaign for the winner.
