Which top American model contest is the best?

ANTM (abbreviation of America's Top Model Contest) will be held every six months from the third quarter. The United States has finished the eighth season, the ninth season will be broadcast on September 19, 2007, and the tenth season is being accepted for registration.

Tyra banks is the host of this program. When the first season of ANTM was launched, many professional fashionistas were invited as judges, including kimora lee simmons, a former model and current fashion designer of Baby Phat, Beau Quillian, editor of Marie Claire (now Seventeen magazine), and janice dickinson, known as the "world's first supermodel".

But in the second season, only Tyra Banks and Dzhanis Dickinson continued to serve as judges, and the other seats were filled by two new faces, including Eric Nicholson, editor of Jane magazine, and nigel barker, a former model and current fashion photographer. Then in the third season, Noel Malian, editor and image director of fashion magazine, replaced Eric Ligson and began to be a judge with Tara, Dzhanis and Nizu until the fourth season.

Janice, who spoke boldly, failed to reach an agreement with some judges in the fourth season. She resigned as a judge in the fifth season, thus creating another legendary model, Twiggy, to join and take her place as a judge. On the other hand, Noel Malian gave up as a judge in the fifth season and was replaced by J.Alexander, Tara's good friend and catwalk trainer. This jury remained until the ninth season. Another good friend of Tara's, Jay Manuel, has also been the image director of the model since the first season, and has been the photography supervisor since the second season (the ninth season).

In the tenth season, Xu Zi will be replaced by supermodel paulina porizkova.

[Edit] Competition Process

There are ten to fourteen contestants, and there are nine to thirteen episodes every Monday, one of which is a retrospective. Starting from the third season, the first episode is the preliminaries, showing the finalists' shortlisting process. And one person is eliminated from each episode. (There are exceptions, for example, two people were eliminated in the seventh episode of the fourth season and two people were eliminated in the ninth episode of the fifth season), and who was eliminated was decided by the judges.

Participants in each episode have to learn different things, such as posing, taking pictures, walking the overpass, learning national culture and so on. After the study, the girls will have a small competition, and the winner can choose several people to enjoy the prize together.

After that, they will take photos with photography director Gemanuel, and the photos will be used for judging. There are many kinds of photos, such as swimsuit photos, nude photos, headshots, photos with animals, photos with male models, underwear ads, or photos with various themes (such as the seven deadly sins in the fourth season and the negative models in the seventh season) and so on. Sometimes advertisements are judged by shooting advertisements, such as shooting advertisements for contact lenses in the first season, shooting advertisements for canned soup in the third season and so on. And there is another episode in the first and second seasons that is either advertising or taking pictures. The first season is judged by past photos and the potential of the players themselves; In the second season, they will judge the music videos made by Tara.

Finally, they will meet with the judges and decide that they will be eliminated. First, they will show the skills they have learned in the episode before judging, and then they will judge the photos. The judging criteria include: photo (advertisement) performance, personality, potential, quiz, correspondence and so on.

After the review, Tara will name one place, and the last two people who are not named will be called the bottom two, and they will accept Tara's criticism. The last person stays and the other person is out.

In the last episode, they will shoot photos/advertisements for CoverGirl (starting from the third season), and then judge, one person will be out, and the remaining two will participate in the fashion show, and one will win.
