Miss J? GONE!
Jay? GONE!
Nigel Barker? GONE!


No more Fierceness. Just alien-face.


“America’s Next Top Model” is getting a fierce full-body makeover.

Tyra Banks announced on her Twitter and Facebook pages she will be parting ways with three of the show’s judges. “To my Nigel Barker, Miss J, and Mr Jay: Thank you for all of our years together on America's Next Top Model! Working with you is always an absolute pleasure. Excited for what the future holds for us. XOXO,” Banks wrote on her Facebook page.

The shake-up comes as the show heads into its 19th cycle. According to The New York Post, Barker, Alexander and Manuel found out on Thursday that their contracts would not be renewed.

On his blog, Manuel confirmed the news: “I’ve truly been blessed to work on a show that was recognized and loved around the world. I’ll take with me memories and lessons that will last a lifetime. Nigel, Miss J and I had a great run, and now it’s time for us to move on.”

Barker also took to his blog to talk about the news. He wrote, "I will miss the cast, the crew and ANTM will always have a special place in my heart, having made life-long friendships with countless fond memories."

Catch the three ex-judges on Showbiz Tonight this Monday at 11 p.m. ET/PT to talk about their “America’s Next Top Model” exit.
 
Is there anywhere that I can watch the first 18 cycles? I've only a seen two or three cycles and I've wanted to catch all the old ones. Torrents seem like the only way?

Do I really want to know what smizing is?

I only watched the show for the judges. Tyra could have taken the day off and I wouldn't have cared less. She also used to promote plus sized models during her fat cycles and not so much when she was thin.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall. STOP THE CAR FOOL THAT WAS TYRA!
 
Getting rid of Nigel Barker? Fuck this show.

I remember in one of the earlier seasons they got rid of a contestant they said was too short, WHY DID YOU PUT HER ON THE SHOW IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE THEN!?

So she could go be a shorty.

They always cast the short girl and the plus sized girl and get rid of them. A short girl won cycle 3 though.
 
If this shit isn't dead by 2020 then we can officially kiss goodbye to any thought of an intelligent future. For those who have already reproduced, well, good luck whilst your kids grow up in a future filled with fucking idiots who only care about themselves.
 
Haha glad the Tyra lizard clip was posted, always makes me laugh cause it was random.


Well I learned what smizing is so .......idk


Whoa at that guy being 54 0_o
 
Okay back when I actually did watch this show Miss J and Jay were the best fucking parts of it. What a dumb move.

Yes, especially Miss J. If everyone was fired, including Tyra, and only Miss J was judging I could see this working, otherwise... my decision to stop watching several seasons ago is still intact.

In other news: Watch the show that is superior to all other shows, bitches: Rupaul's Drag Race.
 
I only watched the season Jael was in. That was the peak of the show. Hated the ending. Creepy - Chan some seasons later went deep but didnt win.
 
This is apparently coming from the network, not from Tyra.

That's ridiculous. Tyra has a LOT of power. She could ride over the network if she didn't think it was needed. Fact is they could replace Tyra with another charismatic model and the show would be fine. New judges? Nah.
 
Tyra is the worst part of the show.


They always cast the short girl and the plus sized girl and get rid of them. A short girl won cycle 3 though.

I like how as the seasons progressed the plus sized girls didnt even look plus sized anymore. They just looked normal and not stick thin.
 
I use to like tyra as being my sexy goddess but she started bashing this gamer guy n gamers on her other show........

She instantly became dead to me.

Heh, I met Nigel Barker at the NY Auto Show press day a few weeks ago. He's a pretty cool guy. Had no idea who the fuck he was though, it was my girlfriend who was like "omg that's Nigel Barker!"
 
The main thing i don't like about this show is that none of the contestants really go on and do anything significant. Same problem I have with almost all these talent reality shows.
 
No more Jay? The show is dead to me. Tyra is easily the worst recurring character on the show but I guess we can't get rid of her.
