Editing America's Next Top Model (section)

==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>
