The hit dramality series “America’s Next Top Model” features Tyra Banks and gives real people an opportunity to prove that they can make it in the high-stress, high-stakes world of supermodeling. The series follows a group of young women of various backgrounds, shapes and sizes, who live together and vie for a modeling contract.
The dramality exposes the transformation of everyday young women into potentially fierce supermodels, as they face weekly tests that determine who can make the cut. With mentoring by supermodel Tyra Banks and exposure to high-profile fashion-industry gurus, the finalists compete in a highly accelerated modeling boot camp, a crash course to supermodel fame.
Participants are asked to demonstrate both inner and outer beauty as they learn to master complicated catwalks, intense physical fitness, fashion photo shoots and perfect publicity skills, all under 24-hour-a-day surveillance of the “America’s Next Top Model” cameras that chronicle every move.
Banks leads the panel of judges for cycle 7 of “America’s Next Top Model,” which includes living fashion icon Twiggy, runway expert J. Alexander and photographer Nigel Barker, who will conduct regular evaluations to narrow the field from week to week. In addition, special guest judges will appear to critique within his or her area of expertise.
The executive producers are Ken Mok (“Making the Band”), Tyra Banks and Anthony Dominici (“Amazing Race”). The dramality series was created by Tyra Banks and developed by Mok and Kenya Barris. “America’s Next Top Model” is produced by 10 by 10 Entertainment in association with Bankable Productions.
About Beauty And The Geek
Wednesdays (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) on The CW
From the producing team of Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg (”Punk’d”), hit reality show “Beauty and the Geek” returns for a third season with all new contestants on an all new network, The CW.
This cycle will remain true to the series’ format - pairing eight gorgeous but academically impaired women with eight brilliant but socially challenged men to test intellect and social skills - for a chance to win a $250,000 grand prize. Among the challenges, the guys will be required to deliver a stand-up routine in a comedy club and test their artistic abilities when they sketch a drawing of a nude model. The women will brush up on current events for a television newscast and research history books when they act as museum tour guides. The past two seasons saw an unlikely connection between a beauty and a geek and the third time could be the charm for another lucky couple.
During each competition, the geek tries to pass brains on to the beauty, while the beauty helps the geek overcome social awkwardness. At the end of the eight-week series, each contestant comes out a changed person, and one couple will walk away with a quarter of a million dollars.
“Beauty and the Geek” is from fox21 and is produced by Katalyst Films and 3 Ball Productions with executive producers Ashton Kutcher & Jason Goldberg (”Guess Who,” “Punk’d”), Nick Santora (”Prison Break,” “The Sopranos”), J.D. Roth (”The Biggest Loser,” “For Love or Money”) and Todd A. Nelson (”The Biggest Loser,” “For Love or Money”).
