America's Next Top Model season 10

Season of television series

The tenth cycle of America's Next Top Model was the fourth season of the series to be aired on The CW network. The promotional catchphrase of the cycle is "New Faces, New Attitude, New York". The promotional song was "Feedback" by Janet Jackson.

A few major changes were made this season. The show was moved back to New York, after being housed in Los Angeles since cycle 4. The number of contestants was also increased to 14, after being maintained at 13 since cycle 5. Finally, the judging panel, unchanged since cycle 5, was also altered; Twiggy was replaced by model Paulina Porizkova due to the former's scheduling conflicts.^[1]

The prizes for this cycle were:

• A modeling contract with Elite Model Management
• A fashion spread and cover in Seventeen
• A US$100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics

The international destination for this cycle was Rome, Italy, the franchises' second of three visits to Italy throughout the current seasons.

The winner of the competition was 20-year-old Whitney Thompson from Atlantic Beach, Florida. Thompson was the first plus-size model to win the competition. This season averaged 4.23 million viewers per episode.

Controversies

Kimberly

Months later after the second episode (see top), Kimberly Rydzewski appeared on the October 15, 2008, episode of The Tyra Banks Show together with fellow cycle 10 contestants Marvita Washington, Dominique Reighard and cycle 8 winner Jaslene Gonzalez where they talked about domestic violence. Rydzewski revealed later that the true reason she quit the contest was because she experienced depression, influenced by her ex-boyfriend's suicide three months prior to the competition, which in turn, revived her experiences of her mother's suicide when she was a child.^[75]

She explained that she initially wanted to join ANTM to help her divert her emotions, but she felt that it was not working and later used a ambiguous excuse to voluntarily leave the contest. She confessed that she really likes fashion and wanted to pursue it as a career. Rydzewski died on December 19, 2016, at the age of 29.^[76]

Property damages

During the contestants’ stay in New York, the models stayed in a $6 million apartment. However, when the season was over, it was revealed the contestants had caused over $500,000 in damages. The landlord Michael Marvisi explained that the girls had left food on the walls, damaged a $15,000 chandelier “beyond repair” and caused $90,000 of damage to a store below. He also said the film crew had punched “hundreds of holes in the ceiling to hang lighting equipment.” and had torn up the Brazilian wood floors. A $125K settlement deal was reached between the landlord and America's Next Top Model.^[77][78]

Notes

1. Fatima thus became the second contestant in the show's history to miss a photo shoot yet not get eliminated, the other being Shannon Stewart from cycle 1.
2. In episode 1, the pool of 35 girls was reduced to 13. This call-out order does not reflect their performances that week. Aimee and Amy were called simultaneously when Tyra vaguely said their name. Amy later changed her name to "Amis" to avoid confusion with Aimee. The judging panel originally intended to have thirteen contestants in the final cast, but after the final thirteen were revealed, Tyra announced that the fourteenth contestant–Dominique–would also be part of the cast.
3. In episode 2, Kimberly quit the competition when she was called forward for her individual evaluation at judging panel.
4. In episode 9, Fatima did not participate in the photoshoot.
