It was the biggest show of its time. Ten thousand girls lined up to be cast by Tyra Banks in America's Next Top Model. It was the days of early Reality TV before we knew the tricks of the content-making machine. But watching it back in 2026 feels like....... oh God, we really let this happen? 

The sex on camera. The fat shaming. The “fix your gap.” The race-swapping shoot.  It was unhinged and problematic in all the worst ways; and we ate it up

And now we have to unpack why.

Got opinions?  The show phone is 0489 214 653

We record at Clearshot Digital in Brisbane
