Coop 15,145 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 The show that taught America how to be fierce and gave us the term “smize” is coming to an end. America’s Next Top Model will call it quits after cycle 22. “Thinking #ANTM22 should be our last cycle. I truly believe it’s time. May your pics be forever fierce,” ANTM host Tyra Banks wrote onTwitter on Wednesday. The reality show premiered in May 2003 on UPN as a competition among traditional female models, before welcoming shorter beauties, plus-size women, and in recent seasons, men. ANTM moved to The CW upon UPN’s merge with The WB in 2006, becoming the first show to premiere on its current network. “America’s Next Top Model was a successful franchise for two networks, first at UPN and then The CW, and it became not just a ratings hit, but a global pop culture phenomenon,” CW President Mark Pedowitz said in a statement. “I want to thank Tyra and Ken for all their years of success in establishing a show that was not just popular in the U.S., but all across the world.” The Dec. 4 finale of cycle 22 will be the show’s last episode. The CW is in talks about broadcasting a retrospective special about America’s Next Top Model that will air sometime in late 2016. We were rooting for you, ANTM… Source Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdAstra 2,649 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thank God. The show became all about Tyra promoting herself and less about the competition anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GloZell Green 11,723 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 The show became soooo boring after it revolved around love and drama. But that's today's shows and entertainment. Lady Gaga | Shakira Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo 7,214 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I felt like she didn't put much effort in this cycle, she hardly makes appearances on 22. A bunch of us on r/antm thought it might be the last season because the budget seems to be lacking. Don't visit my profile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haroon 49,685 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANTM has been part of my life for way too long and I can't see it go I grew up with it from pre-puberty to now, it really helped me to appreciate beauty in less conventional ways and taught me so much else I agree that it's not like it was in it's heyday but it's still a good show which continues to spread good messages to so many people. The fact that it started a craze and was recreated in so many countries as well I feel like it's gonna take a while to absorb and accept this news, things will never be the same Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,286 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I've watched every single episode so far and, clearly it has lost its touch, but I'm still sad to see it go. Knowing Tyra, this won't be the end of her reality-model-show-carreer, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman 4,660 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I stopped watching this a long time ago, but I used to love this as a kid. Can't believe it lasted so long though. O.o It's science, bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
