India Gants emerged victorious as the winner of cycle 23 of America’s Next Top Model — but who is she and what’s her story? The 20-year-old, from Seattle, Washington, fought off competition from Cory Anne Roberts and Tatiana Price in the final to claim the ultimate crown — judged by Tyra Banks, Rita Ora, Ashley Graham, Law Roach and Drew Elliott. The violet-haired beauty was working in marketing and promotions for a local radio station in Seattle before she decided to take part in Antm. The victory sees her win a $100,000 deal with Rimmel London, a one-year talent contract with...read more...

America’s Next Top Model is nearing the end of cycle 23.

Hosted by Rita Ora, the panel of judges has whittled down the competition to four fierce aspiring models -- Cory Anne, Courtney, India and Tatiana. To determine who will make it to the finale, the remaining contestants now have to face off in the Rimmel London commercial challenge. And whoever lands on top (of the cycle) will become the face the cosmetics brand, in addition to winning the $100,000 cash prize.

Asked to be brand ambassadors, the girls are assigned different looks and styles, from classic to punk. However, in Et’s first look at tonight’s episode, the models struggle to get into character:

Who will come out on top and who will fall flat? Well, you’ll have to watch to find out.

America’s Next Top Model airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. Et/Pt...

In this episode of America's Next Top Model, "The Glamorous Life," the women get a chance to model at the home of designer Philipp Plein, Cory Anne calls out Courtney, and the girls pose with a celeb on a private jet.

Emotions are running high in the house after the most recent judges' panel. Marissa's sad to see her cuddle buddy, Kyle, go and even takes a framed picture of her Fwb and puts it in her bed. India is riding high after finally catching the judges' attention and, with only seven girls left, feels that victory is attainable. Tatiana, who has had several challenge wins, is frustrated to have not come out on top for any of her photos. Graham and Roach's criticism of Binta has her down, but she's determined to work hard and achieve her goals.

After 20 seasons, one billion nutty contestants (true fact: if laid end to end, they’d stretch all the way to Modelland and back), gallons of haircut-related tears, myriad delightful variations on “I’m not here to make friends,” countless instances of Tyra Banks randomly slipping into one of her four accents (“vaguely British,” “almost French,” “Oprah,” and “daaa-yum, girl!”), and challenges involving roaches, tarantulas, clouds of pheromone-crazed bees, and Fabio, saying “that crazy thing on America’s Next Top Model” is sort of like talking about suicide in Buffalo—it’s redundant.

And yet! While I would under no circumstances...

"America's Next Top Model" host Tyra Banks may have wanted to pick a guy winner for her first ever cycle to include male models, but not if Jourdan Miller had anything to say about it. The statuesque stunner had a top photo nearly every week, but she tells Zap2it she still had some serious doubts about winning.

Congratulations! How does it feel to be the "America's Next Top Model" winner?

"Oh my gosh, it feels so good. It's also a little scary at the same time because I'm worried about whether or not I'm going to be successful, but you know, it just feels really good. I'm proud of myself. It's been a long journey and the last six months of hiding out are over and I can finally let the world know that I'm America's Next Top Model. It's a relief to have it out in the open and everyone knows I won.

It's time to crown the winner of the first "America's Next Top Model" cycle to include male models -- it'll be interesting to see if a guy actually deserves the crown or if it's clear Jourdan was the best model and yet a man still wins because it's the first time with guys. Or maybe Jourdan will win outright -- let's find out!

Top 3 Elimination

One person is eliminated right at the top and it's not Jourdan, of course, so it comes down to Marvin vs. Cory. Unfortunately, by a score of 26.6 to 27.5, Cory is cut right before the big runway show. We have to say -- we were totally Team Cory, so that's a major bummer. We can't believe Kelly gave Cory a 5 for that Guess picture.

Before the runway starts, we have to watch the commercial the Top 3 filmed. In what is supporting our Team Cory feelings, Cory...

After last week's cliffhanger on America's Next Top Model, fans got to spend the week speculating who would be the final two standing. Cory fails to make the cut. This doesn't come as a complete shock given that his androgynous look posed problems for the judges throughout the competition. Like the other contestants who returned to be part of the catwalk crews, Cory gets to participate in the final runway show.

On tonight's episode of America's Next Top Model, several of the eliminated contestants return to lend support to their favorite finalist. Jourdan, Marvin and Cory participate in photo shoots for Guess and Nylon magazine. Minutes before the runway show, the three finalists deal with one last shocking twist.

A Fierce Threesome

Jourdan won best picture for the fifth time which would seem to make her the one to beat. But, humble, Bronx-born homeboy "Starvin' Marvin", and bald and beautiful Cory are sure to give her a run for the title.

On this week's America's Next Top Model, the remaining models deal with the aftermath of the latest judges' panel. Jourdan, having come in first for a third time, is feeling pretty confident. Phil, who's been in the bottom three times, is looking like the next one to go.

They also discuss the possibility of which eliminated model(s) might be coming back. Phil seems confident that one of the guys will return because, overall, they've been performing more strongly than the girls. Yes, there are five guys left and only three girls, but Phil is at the bottom of the pack. It doesn't help that Tyra gave him a horrible makeover, but if any guy is taking home that prize package, it's going to be Cory, Chris H., Marvin or Don.

It was makeover time on the latest episode of "America's Next Top Model," and the addition of male models this cycle certainly made for some interesting results. For the ladies, it was more of the same: hair dyes, hair extensions and haircuts. Maybe because we've seen women transformed for years now on "Antm," it didn't seem all that different, but nothing that happened to them was nearly as jarring as what happened to the guys.

Cory's head was shaved down to the scalp, and with his angular jaw and cheekbones it left him looking almost alien. Don's hair was dyed bleach blonde, making him look like he was inspired by Chris Brown. But the most drastic change was saved for Phil. He got a weave.

“Dude, this is awesome man," Phil said after revealing his new look to the group. "It’s a total combination of, like, Jesus, surfer,...

"America's Next Top Model" is giving its Cycle 20 contestants makeovers.

In the August 16th episode titled "The Guy Who Gets a Weave," the male and female contestants of "Antm" get new looks. There are some haircuts, dye jobs and makeup changes and as the title of the episode reveals, one male model gets a weave.

Take a look at the pictures below of the "America's Next Top Model" contestants before and after their makeovers below and let us know what you think of the weave in the comments.

"America's Next Top Model" makeover episode airs Friday, Aug. 16 at 8 p.m. Et on The CW.

"America's Next Top Model" kicked off its 20th cycle, this time featuring male contestants for the first time in the show's history. The premiere episode featured casting calls that narrowed the field to 26, who then were put through their paces in order to make the Top 16 that we will watch all season long.

It was interesting with the guy/girl dynamic because the flirtations and the potential for hooking up provides a whole new facet to the game that was not previously there. Also, with the guys, there was an extra "fraternity house" vibe going on, particularly with Chris H., who decided it was fun to put on boxing gloves and tag guys in the balls. It went over about as well as you'd think.

Standouts for us included Cory and Don on the guys' side -- they are very striking men, particularly Cory. On the girls' side, Jourdan is a very pretty girl,...
