Background Information:

America's Next Top Model (ANTM) is a TV show on the CW channel with contestants who are
aspiring to become a high fashion model. The seasonc!cle begins with a large n"mber of

d"ring the real competitions. ANTM has se&eral challenges within it that narrow down the
n"mber of contestants "ntil onl! one remains. The challenges can range from team games to
catwal's. After the da!(s competitions# the competitors will wait to be )"dged on how well the!
did. After the )"dging# those who are safe for the next episode(s competitions stand separate
from the bottom two# who are )"dged b! their fan base si*e. The competitor with the lowest
n"mber of fans is prompted to lea&e the show with the chance of ret"rning if he or she
maintains the largest fan pop"larit! o"t of the other eliminated members. The final winner
will recei&e a cash pri*e and se&eral offers and connections within the fashion ind"str!.
+riginall!# the competition was for women onl!# b"t )"st last !ear the show began to allow men
to compete with women which completel! changed the game and made the show m"ch more
interesting to its a"dience. Now both the men and women go thro"gh fashion challenges
in&ol&ing o"tfit choices# photo shoots# team challenges# and m"ch more all while tr!ing to
maintain a fan base from the &iewers of the show.

considered normalc!
-n the fig"red world of America(s Next Top Model# there are man! specific r"les and
con&entions that are considered appropriate or "ns"itable. There are special r"les within

follow what T!ra .an's# the show host# commands# to cooperate with !o"r teammate# and to
not cheat. -t is not con&entional if a team member is disrespectf"l to an!one in the competition
or for them to do what onl! the! thin' is right "nless the r"les state otherwise. -n photo
shoots# the r"les are to follow the photographer(s demands. There are man! con&entions
within photo shoots s"ch as "sing the right pose for a specific bod! t!pe# not bod! shaming

&iew the contestant scores in the li&ing room TV and for the winner of a certain bon"s
challenge to claim the l"x"r! room of the ho"se and to in&ite another contestant of choice to
)oin them. The con&entions# on the other hand# are extremel! important and sometimes more
cr"cial to follow# beca"se the scenes in the ho"se are a large part of what determines a
contestant(s friendships and &iewer fan base. -f a member of the ho"se is disrespectf"l#
