Nicole Wasn't...

Nicole Wasn't 19 years old.She was 20 because at the first part of the show it said Nicole,20 years old.So actually no was the youngest winner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Npurplegirl (talk • contribs) 17:28, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Nicole was 19 when she won. Even though the show stated 20 (which I can't remember, probably its a show error), let's do the math shall we? Cycle 5 started airing in September 21 2005, while Nicole's birthday is February 27 1986 (go check her Wiki page). The show finished airing on December 7 2005, which is also the date that she was officially crowned "America's Next Top Model" to the whole American public. She has yet to cross her 20th birthday.

On a side note, Eva was 20 when she was crowned ANTM. Cycle 3 started on September 22 2004 and ended on December 15 2004, and Eva's birthday is October 30 1984, hence she crossed her 20th birthday while on the show.

HENCE, Nicole is still the youngest winner at the time of taping. Hope that I've cleared the issue once and for all. Cheers! ZephyrWind (talk) 08:27, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Problem under ANTM Crossovers

I can't edit the article because I'm not a registered user, but Janice's new show on the Oxygen network is called The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, not The Janice Dickinson Agency. Can someone please fix this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.182.113.90 (talk) 08:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

ANTM Call-out Table Colors

Hello. As we all know, each cycle page has its own call-out table representing the performances and merit of the contestants every week until ANTM is crowned. As we also know, the table's colors (representing the various girls' criteria) have been changed periodically by members of the public since the table's inception, so in order to settle the "dispute" once and for all, below are the colors which have been standardized across all 10 seasons of ANTM. If any new "criteria" should pop up over the next few cycles of the show, then new colors can be used as deemed correct. The bottom line: Don't change the existing ones.

  The contestant won the reward (All Cycles)

  The contestant was eliminated (All cycles)

  The contestant won the competition (All cycles)

  The contestant was CoverGirl of the Week (Cycles 3 to 10)

  The contestant was CoverGirl of the Week and won the reward (Cycles 3 to 10)

  The contestant was CoverGirl of the Week and was eliminated (Cycles 3, 7, 9 and 10)

  The contestant did not participate in the photo shoot and was eliminated (Cycles 1, 2 and 7)

  The contestant won the reward and was eliminated (Cycles 2, 6 and 10)

  The contestant quit the competition (Cycles 5, 9 and 10)

  The contestant did not participate in the photo shoot (Cycles 1 & 10)

  The contestant was scouted at a separate audition and later added into the cast (Cycle 1)

  The contestant was eliminated outside of the judging panel (Cycle 3)

  The contestant was part of a non-elimination bottom two (Cycle 5)

  The contestant was the original eliminee but was saved and won the reward (Cycle 9)

Cheers! ZephyrWind (talk) 09:10, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much! So if a person has been warned before and shown the link to this "guide", they can then be given a warning with a red cancel sign thing, right? Sireafi (talk) 03:26, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Haha, hmm I'm not very sure about that, maybe we can just ask them to read the discussions page. ZephyrWind (talk) 09:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Could someone please add it was also the CW's highest rated show in the 2007-2008 season as well, I have the evidence here [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.68.137.198 (talk) 23:49, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Now it is:

  The contestant won the competition (All cycles)

  The contestant was eliminated (All cycles)

  The contestant won the reward challenge (All cycles)

  The contestant was CoverGirl of the Week (Cycles 3 - 10)

  The contestant was CoverGirl of the Week and won the reward challenge (Cycles 3 - 10)

  The contestant was CoverGirl of the Week and eliminated (Cycles 3, 7, 9 & 10)

  The contestant did not participate in the photo shoot and was eliminated (Cycles 1, 2 & 7)

  The contestant won the reward challenge and was eliminated (Cycles 2, 6 & 10)

  The contestant quit the competition (Cycles 5, 9 & 10)

  The contestant did not participate in the photo shoot (Cycles 1 & 10)

  The contestant was scouted at a separate audition and later added into the cast (Cycle 1)

  The contestant was eliminated outside of judging panel (Cycle 3 & 11)

  The contestant was part of a non-elimination bottom two (Cycle 5)

  The contestant was the original eliminee but was saved, and won the reward challenge (Cycle 9) 86.147.236.191 (talk) 20:13, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

My only question is, why are the applicable cycles mention? I understand that the Cycle listed corresponds with the incident (obviously), but it's clear that it would apply to all cycles. For example, if someone in Cycle 12 quit the competition, it would still be  . That wouldn't change. Perhaps the first occurence can be listed, but I don't believe that the list has to be updated each time it changes happens. SKS2K6 (talk) 21:59, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

In addition, a new color box royalblue is a contestant who win two reward challenges. Change to Blue And here it is:

  The contestant won two reward challenges (Cycle 11) ApprenticeFan (talk) 08:13, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

The blue box is too bright relative to the other colors, was there a reason for changing it from royalblue? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Misty Willows (talk • contribs) 18:25, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't there be a separate color box for the Runner Up, because technically, the Runner Up is never eliminated from the competition, but when the Winner is announced they automatically become the Runner Up. I dont think Lightblue should be useed I think a different color should be used like Magenta since it is a variant of the Violet —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.214.167.2 (talk) 00:38, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Lightblue is used which a contestant is the part of non-elimination bottom two and win the reward challenge. It is used in Britain's Next Top Model, Cycle 4 and Philippines' Next Top Model, Cycle 1. ApprenticeFan (talk) 02:55, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

The reason was Pink was used as the contestant became runner-up in Australia's Next Top Model, Britain's Next Top Model and Canada's Next Top Model. Although it never used in ANTM. Runner-ups aren't eliminated in the finale like American Idol. ApprenticeFan (talk) 13:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Fantasy

This is probably as good a place as any to record the fantasy Top Model articles I have encountered. Looking at their modus operandi, there would appear to be a number of different editors producing this rubbish:

• user:H… (indicated a desire to vanish so I will not give details) created Hawaii's Next Top Teen Male Model. Leaves copious, petulant talk page messages.
• Bunifaaa (with Botanial as a sock puppet) created Botania's superstar, Cycle 1 and similar. Uses user page as index and for drafts. Does not talk.
• Kamerzuidfan created Kamer Zuid, America's Extreme Top Model, etc. Does not talk. Probable sockpuppet:
• Jamabanana21 created Americas next top extreme model.
• Gex192000 created Ultimate Model 3 but appears to have seen sense and gone away.
• Soulo 87 created Gaya's Next Top Student, Cohort 4, etc.
• Jonanthan created Malaysia's Next Top Model (全马超级模特新秀大赛), etc. Seem to be fantasy even though I Wanna Be A Model, Malaysia is real.
• Hoaxcoder90 created Malaysia's Next Top Model, Cycle 1, etc.
• Sportsdevil765 created Top model extreme and Pokemon next top model.
• Kiyochiiori created Creative arts next top model
• Veekhtor created Finding The Best Top Model, etc.
• Patrey14 created Patricklucien's Next Top Model
• Nahtique created Wrestlings Next Top Model

Plus-sized Models

There should be a stastic on which models were considered plus-sized since they are usually referred to as plus-sized during the competition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.106.94.27 (talk) 03:31, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Robin Manning (Cycle 1), Anna Bradfield (Cycle 2), Toccara Jones (Cycle 3), Diane Hernandez (Cycle 5), Whitney Cunningham & Diana Zalewski (Cycle 8), Sarah Hartshorne (Cycle 9) & Whitney Thompson (Cycle 10). ZephyrWind (talk) 11:15, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Many people say that Whitney was the only plus-size model who has gone abroad.But,that is not truth if Robin was actually a plus-size model.I'm confused. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ANTM120 (talk • contribs) 22:10, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, the "people" are wrong. Robin was the first to go abroad. Whitney was the first to enter the final 3 and win. ZephyrWind (talk) 04:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Jaslene's Weight

again and again somebody changes the statistics and it was CLEAR i think that Jaslene's weight was 110lbs...if it were 91lbs her BMI would be in the "starvation" range...so could we please turn it to 110 again? and stop changing it...cuz there is a source for her weight... Lucia (talk) 18:43, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

the winners stats section

hi! i'm not a member, so i can't make changes, but i noticed that some of the information about the winners is actually about contestants, not people who actually won. example: shandi was not the lightest winner, although she may have been the lightest contestant (i'm not sure, i haven't watched the whole series) 24.108.200.215 (talk) 21:50, 4 February 2008 (UTC)sarah eli

Theme Composer Discrepancy

Inetnational destinations for Cycles 6 and 9?

I was just curious, on the main page how come Phuket isn't listed as being an international destination for Cycle 6? For Cycle 9 there is both Beijing AND Shangai... so why not Phuket and Bangkok as well? They may have only gone for one photoshoot but they still went, regardless. It had both a while back but it has since changed. I guess the same thing could also be said for Jamaica in Cycle 3 but that's another issue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.241.218.165 (talk) 08:50, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ANTM120 (talk • contribs) 22:13, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

i disagree. in Cycle 9, the final 6 went to Shanghai and later the final 4 went to Beijing for the remainder of the season. in Cycle 6, the final 6 went to Bangkok, had 2 photoshoots and eliminations. Then the final 4 went to Phuket for a photoshoot then came back to Bangkok for that elimination, the remainder of the season and had their final fashion show in Bangkok as well.

List Of America's Next Top Model's International Destinations

Someone just created an article called List Of America's Next Top Model's International Destinations, which probably needs to be merged here. Does anyone know if the info there is already here or should a new section be added?--Mars2035 (talk) 17:14, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

The composite photo at the end of the show.

Hi. I was wondering if perhaps a short couple of lines talking about that photo at the end of the show featuring photos of all of the particular cycle's contestants, specifically, the fact that at the end of every show, the eliminated contestant's photo fades away from the composite photo, plus the fact that it only changes after the makeover episode. I just thought that it's been happening for as long as I've been watching ANTM and it is a tradition. I would place it underneath the show format section at the end of the paragraph about the judging panel.. Just a thought. 00:06, 23 March 2008 (UTC) samusek2

I did some re-arranging of things, tell me what you think.

I don't understand why the bit about the writers' strike is here. The writer's strike held up a lot of shows... if anything, we could address its effect on ANTM in one line. Spacefem (talk) 14:30, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

The writers strike references here is not the writers strike from earlier this year. It happened in 2006, and it was just the ANTM writers striking. Eatcacti (talk) 15:23, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Malaysia's Top Model?

Apparently, there's both I Wanna Be a Model and Malaysian Dreamgirl, but as far as I can tell, neither one of them are officially part of the Top Model franchise. Although many news articles describe these shows as their own version of ANTM, nothing states that it is an official version. Can anyone find out? SKS2K6 (talk) 17:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Neither of them are part of the Top Model franchise. They're just modeling shows. Keeping I Wanna Be a Model and Malaysian Dreamgirl there would be like keeping Make Me A Supermodel there. Sireafi (talk) 03:49, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

This is not a forum to talk about who gets kicked off, and Fatima winning or not winning ANTM is hearsay at this point. THE evil fluffyface (talk) 14:00, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

On Fatima not being a US citizen

My head hurts trying to even think about it, but I'm confused over whether Fatima not actually being a citizen of the United States is a controversy or not. Yes, she did come here as a refugee from Somalia, but she has been living here for seven years. It's not like Fatima hopped in a boat last year or so and somehow made it through customs to try to get to America and this show. The fact that the "controversy" is supported by four different threads from the CW's forums isn't swaying me to believe that it's that noteworthy of a controversy yet--not everyone who's a fan of America's Next Top Model uses the CW's forums. THE evil fluffyface (talk) 13:59, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Third Place

I noticed in the front page the names of the third place contestants have been removed. Is there a good reason? I would fix it myself but unfortunately I don't remember all of the last names. Argentak (talk) 00:10, 2 May 2008 (UTC)the names are elyse sewell,shandi sullivan,Amanda Swafford,Keenyah hill,Bre Scullark,Jade COle,Eugena Washington,Renee Almay,Jenah DOucette

Could someone stop unhighlighting Eugena's page —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.111.36.35 (talk) 00:45, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

There's a very good reason why the third place contestants are not listed and it's been discussed before. Adding a third place is first and foremost unnecessary. Not many, if any, of the contestants have done anything major since the show. It makes the table larger than it has to be. There were even some doubts whether the runner-up should be there because only a few have done anything notable as well. Sireafi (talk) 03:46, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I have to disagree with you.As for the winners,they haven't also done anything special,most of them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ANTM120 (talk • contribs) 22:22, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Whether or not they have had any post-show success or not, just do not make another column for third place simply because it expands the table larger than it should be.ZephyrWind (talk) 04:48, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Flowery Makeovers

Flowery and extremely descriptive makeovers are not necessary. The bare minimum is needed. This means, don't add specific hair colors such as "jet black" or "platinum blonde"; but in some cases ie. Dominique with her dark and light brown hair or Sarah, cycle 8, with her light brown hair, that's when you add to the hair color. Also, turning 'weave' into 'hair weave' is not necessary. If it's makeovers and it has weave in there, its understood to be a hair weave. There are also differences between 'extensions' and 'weaves', so if you have any doubts about which, go watch the episode again on YouTube and listen to what Tyra says. In fact, if you have any doubts about how accurate a makeover is, discuss it on the discussion page and/or go watch the episode again on YouTube. Thanks.

Also, I think it's those who don't have accounts are the ones who are adding flowery makeovers. Sireafi (talk) 03:44, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Exactly. It's so frustrating to read that Naima got a bouffeant hair cut when Tyra Banks probably doesnt even know the word ZephyrWind (talk) 04:49, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

A small question about the "Winners" and "All Contestants" sections

Whitney Thompson (yay, Whitney!) is listed as the heaviest winner; this makes sense, as she is a full-figured model and also the heaviest of the winners. However, since she is the only full-figured model to win the competition so far, is it really necessary to have the category "Full figured winner" there as well? I would remove it, but I'm afraid of being sent hate mail.

Following that argument, is it okay to have a "Plus-Sized Contestants" or "Full-Figured Contestants" category under "All Contestants?"

And following that argument, out of curiosity, is it okay to have a "Lesbian/Bisexual Contesants" category, or is that too offensive and/or irrelevant? I saw one on this page briefly several months ago, but it was obviously removed.

Jhg812 (talk) 22:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Please don't. Already as it is, trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia and adding any more stuff that is not necessarily important or a determinant to the show would probalby be deleted. (You COULD try though, haha)ZephyrWind (talk) 11:47, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

"Originally from other countries" in statistics section

I do not think that this should be here. For one, there would be too much dispute. Brita is not from Latvia. But her family is. Nnenna was born in America yet raised in Nigeria. Lluvy is not listed and she is from Mexico and there are childhood photos of Brooke from C6 in Mexico with her mother. There are just too many different circumstances for a broad topic like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.241.221.167 (talk) 07:01, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

A few more questions about the "Winners" and "All Contestants" sections

Would it be O.K. to add call-out means and medians to both sections? I just added it to the "Winners" section, but I'm unsure if it would be applicable for the "All Contestants" section, since the mean and median are only tabulated for the top three contestants per cycle. If it is O.K., I have it already prepared here:

• Lowest Mean Call-out (Top 3 Contestants): Anya Kop (Cycle 10), 2.64
• Highest Mean Call-out (Top 3 Contestants): Eugena Washington (Cycle 7), 5.09
• Lowest Median Call-out (Top 3 Contestants): Joanie Dodds (Cycle 6), Melrose Bickerstaff (Cycle 7), Natasha Galkina (Cycle 8), & Anya Kop (Cycle 10), all 2
• Highest Median Call-out (Top 3 Contestants): Eugena Washington (Cycle 7), 5

Jhg812 (talk) 18:21, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I guess Cassandra Whitehead has the best call out average... Having been called 3rd in the 1st Photoshoot and and 1st in the 2nd Photoshoot making her average a 2.00. She then quit in the episode 4... 222.126.17.58 (talk) 11:50, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Cassandra's average is 2.5, which beats 2.64. It doesn't really matter if she quit, her callout average is still 2.5, right? We should all vote. Anya (2.64) or Cassandra (2.5). Sireafi (talk) 06:10, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

No, it should still be Anya. Cassandra's average should be counted as (3 + 1 + 11)/3 = 5.0 ... The reason why I disagree with not including their final placements in the counting of contestants who quit, would be that we are disregarding all the girls who did better than them in the episode. For example, if we really go along the argument, it would be flawed. Then Kimberly Rydzewski of Cycle 10 would have the best callout mean of 0 since she quit in the very 1st episode.

And Joanie Dodds was NOT the first contestant to never be in the bottom 2, it would have been Magdalena Rivas because she was eliminated in the first episode OUTSIDE of the judging panel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.221.166 (talk) 15:02, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Why doesn't she have a page? All other runner-ups have one. I can create it if no one has a valid reason to oppose it ;)--Whadaheck (talk) 13:40, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I remember her page getting deleted simply because she fails to meet the notability requirements. As to why hers is deleted while the rest aren't, well, I don't know. I would argue that Kahlen Rondot is less notable than Nik, but at the same time, she has fewer sources backing up her notability. SKS2K6 (talk) 15:54, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Really? Coz' there's quite a few sites that appear to support her notability when you google her name. She's on the fashion model directory, encyclocentral, fashionspot, coiffure virtuelle, sidewalks tv, flickr... She has been on some newspapers, magazines and shows, she has a big fanbase, all of this is in the notability policy right?--Whadaheck (talk) 16:10, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Becuase she is no longer a model according to her myspace she is an office cordinator —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.111.36.35 (talk) 17:34, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

She used to be an office coordinator but she is listed as signed with Model Fusion Management see here http://www.fashionmodeldirectory.com/models/Nik_Pace --Whadaheck (talk) 20:29, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Basically, the Wikipedia pages are just created by ardent fans of the characters. Just because she's signed to a modelling agency doesn't make her successful. Obviously when you google her name there'll be websites showing her, she was on a TV show! Having said this, I agree that Kahlen (by right) should be deleted too. As with Shannon Stewart, Joanie Dodds and Natasha Galkina, all of who are not successful post show. Come on, even Survivor who has 6 times more viewership than ANTM has less wiki pages for its contestants (by %). If you really wanna make it go ahead, but I really doubt it will last long.

ANTM Wikia

I have realized that very few people help on the ANTM Wikia. I've been trying to put on episodes and models, little by little but I really need help, even if it's just transwikiing? For the episodes make sure to list the bottom two, the girl after whom the episode was named, the guest judge(s), the challenge winner(s) and the eliminee(s). Thanks a lot to whoever helps.--Whadaheck (talk) 21:51, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi there! I've seen what you've done and I've tidied up Cycles 1 through 6. They're very well maintained now! Cycles 7 to 10 (the later cycles) are also very tidy now with all those info at the end of the episodes. Just some pointers: don't create a special title for "guest judge", just put him/her under "special guests". Another one: put 1st bottom two, then eliminated, then featured photographer (or commercial director), then special guests, and where applicable, CoverGirl of the Week. There is no need to say which girl the episode was named for.ZephyrWind (talk) 08:31, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Okidoki. I still feel that guest judges are important because they are among the people who send the contestants home, unlike the special guests...

Hi! Um, I don't have an account here, but I noticed that for " Winners with Most consecutive bottom two appearences", it says Eva Pigford, Danielle Evans, Whitney Thompson all 2 times.

Under winners: statistics, it states that Naima Mora has the record for both at 4 wins but it is Yaya DaCosta who holds the record in both categories with 5 wins as stated correctly in the All contestants: statistics. Thank you! Original kenyan (talk) 09:07, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Yaya did not win, though. Eva Pigford did.--69.112.221.166 (talk) 12:32, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

You are obviously clueless to what I'm talking about. Of course Eva Pigford won the ANTM title but Yaya correctly won the most consecutive and the most collective challenges as stated in the all contestants statistics section- not Naima Mora as stated in the winners statistics section. Somebody please do something. Original kenyan (talk) 08:10, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

No no, look at what the section is. Eva's is put under "Winners", hence all stats in that section is only comparing between winners. Yaya's is put under "all contestants", and is compared with all 129 girls in ANTM history. The placements of stats are correct. ZephyrWind (talk) 14:07, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Comments on the show

I think it would be interesting if people started telling us what they like about ANTM and what they don't.I'll start:

I think ANTM is a very interesting show. I like the challenges people have them do. I think the catfights between the girls get really boring after a while.

Is this not controversy?

Why is there no mention in the controversy section over the fact that for the past two seasons there have been two contestants who do not meet the posted rules for entry: Fatima Siad (non-US citizen) and Isis Tsunami (pre-op transexual). The rules on the ANTM page clearly state that you have to be a US citizen and female. Do their own rules not apply?Atlantabravz (talk) 15:26, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree with you, Atlantabravz, about Fatima Siad. But in the case of Isis a transsexual woman is still a woman. It is perfectly possible for Isis to obtain a gender recognition certificate asserting her legal status as female so there is no reason for her to be automatically rejected from the show79.69.236.124 (talk) 20:10, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to add in then.ZephyrWind (talk) 06:33, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

I began watching the show towards the end of cycle 10/premiere of cycle 11, so I went back to view cycle 10's history including episodes and photo clips. Imagine my surprise when I saw Isis "Tsunami" introduce herself during Cycle 10, episode 2 as Isis King, a fashion designer/consultant! She also stood in as a background model during their homeless photo shoot challenge; she's the second from the left in this photo. Isn't this the same violation of the rules which bars contestants from prior professional modeling that swirled around Saleisha Stowers in Cycle 9? That incident should pale in comparison, especially considering ANTM were active participants in Isis King's prior modeling work! 75.10.151.15 (talk) 04:55, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Double Elimination under all contestants

How do you know who the double elimination models were for cycle 11? I'm aware that there's going to be one, nd those are believable choices, but could you have a link from it?

International Destinies

As Cycle 9 has two international destinies showed in the cycle summary, Shanghai and Beijing, I think the ones of Cycle 3 and Cycle 6 should be corrected. In Cycle 3, the girls had been in Montego Bay, Jamaica, in the second episode. So I think in the cycle summary it should be showed, both destinies, Montego Bay and Tokyo. The same happens in Cycle 6. The girls, in the episode before the last one, had been in Phuket, Thailand, so in the summary there should be, as in Cycle 9 happens, Bangkok & Phuket, Thailand.

Help

On Cycle 8 someone put Jaslene Gonzalez as having 5 consecutive bottom 2 appearances which from other articles I know is not true as she is the only winner and is only one of three contestants not to have a bottom 2 appearance.

Top 5 Record

Under all contestents shouldn't we honor something about a contestent never placing out of the top 5? The top 5 is like one of the best places. I think we should recognize Adrianne Curry, Mercedes Scelba-Shorte, Brittany Hatch, and possibly McKey Sullivan for this task.

Can we use all the promotional posters (from cycle 1 to now) with fair use rationale? Doesn't the CWTV hold the copyrights? Please give as much information as possible, because I'm struggling to save'em in WikiPedia Vietnamese. 118.68.138.107 (talk) 13:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC).

I'm surprised no one replied to you. But yeah, in my view, it would be under fair use, because there would be no way of grabbing a picture of all the contestants and Tyra in the same place at the same time (re: during the filming of the cycle).

for "The contestant won two reward challenges" I changed Blue back to Royal Blue, since no one gave a reason for the change and it apears to be only the work of one person. Blue was too bright and made it hard to read. If you want to change it to Blue, please give a reason why Blue is better than Royal blue.-Misty Willows (talk) 03:33, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Not to be annoying or anything, but even if we added the disqualified colors, no cycle would have more than 10 colors in its table.--Whadaheck (talk) 12:20, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

For the contestant won a "reward challenge" was changed back to Cornflower Blue like other reality TV shows won a challenge. The last color used for the said description was a Hexadecimal code number and it is not listed in Web colors. It is too hard to find the code. ApprenticeFan (talk) 00:07, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Has it been checked on different computers operating systems browsers, etc. to make sure it looks good? (I'm worried it could be too close to royal blue on some systems, but I don't know). Where else is it being used for "reward challenge" and is there a reason it would be better than something something else (e.g. LIghtSteelBlue)? -Misty Willows (talk) 09:53, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

OK, I now changed to Light Steel Blue for use as a color "the contestant won a reward challenge in one episode". The previous color code was so dark and the Cornflower Blue thingy isn't look good. In fact, Cornflower Blue color is a few darker than Royal Blue color. --ApprenticeFan Messages 11:02, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I had an Idea to improve the table colors: Make a rule that all normal/common occurrences should be lighter colors with black text, and all unusual/exceptional occurrences should be darker colors with white text. If an exceptional occurrence is a variation of a normal occurrence, then it should be a darker but similar color as the normal occurrence. Can we get consensus on this? ...

I suggested Deep Pink instead of Medium Violet Red in "The contestant was the original eliminee but was saved, and won the reward challenge". The proposed color is lighter than medium violet red.

Cycles 13 & 14 Confirmation?

According to this article [[4]], cycles 13 and 14 are likely to be renewed.

In the clearest sign yet that The CW will live to fight another season, the network has given early renewals to a half-dozen existing series, including Superman drama “Smallville."

The CW President Dawn Ostroff began telephoning executives at Warner Bros. Television and CBS Paramount Network Television about the decision Tuesday morning. The network could announce the news as early as this afternoon.

In addition to “Smallville,” the series renewed for next season are “Gossip Girl,” “90210,” “America’s Next Top Model” (cycles 13 and 14), “One Tree Hill” and “Supernatural.” While the solid ratings for all six shows made pickups likely, the renewals were not all foregone conclusions.

It doesn't sound like the next two cycles have been confirmed, so I'm unsure if this should be added to the main article. Any help/ideas? Jhg812 (talk) 20:53, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes there is. They held casting for Cycle 13. If there is a cycle 14. That would be confirmed at the time of cycle 13, which is officially happening. Tyra announced it on the Tyra Banks Show —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thehotgossip (talk • contribs) 16:33, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

America's Next Top Model's Renewal

It has been confirmed that there will be a Cycle 13 and a Cycle 14, because The CW has stated that they will remnew it for atleast 2 more seasons and Nigel stated that he will stay until the SIXTEENTH cycle. In which means that Cycle 13 will premiere around September 7th , 25 , 28 or oddly an October cycle. They are currently filming America's Next Top Model right now.

Splitting article into America's Next Top Model & Top Model

I am suggesting the following and splitting America's Next Top Model to Top Model article. This article is too big. Here's the following to reduce the length of this article:

• The first section, copy edit the show format and reduce the length of this section to Top Model article.

The rationale for this is that this separates the format of the game from details of the US broadcast and marketing of the series. This allows other Top Model franchises to point back to the format section without bogging down in the rules. We have used the approach for The Amazing Race and Survivor where this wikilink goes to worldwide-mostly-generic format information, and these original American series are points to the specific instances of the broadcast in the US.

The US-based article will only talk about the US edition (obviously). With this option, the main article can reduce any bias toward the US series although that is by far the best known of the international versions.

By the way, the article International versions of Top Model will merge to Top Model article and it will be placed in International versions section.

Any thoughts to shortened the article to Top Model franchise article? ApprenticeFan ^{talk contribs} 14:46, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Sounds fair enough. This article is getting a bit...long. But do the other shows follow the format closely enough so that we don't write down every single deviation from the formula on the Top Model page? SKS (talk) 14:56, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I am agree with your saying. The decision is splitting a show format.

Step 1: Copy edit show format (1-Contestants, 2-Episodes, 3-Challenges, 4-Photo shoot and 5-Judging)

Step 2: Copy and merge the international versions into in a proposed section (International versions)

In addition, here is the proposed introduction of Top Model article:

Extended content

Top Model is a fashion themed reality television series format produced in many countries throughout the world. In the show, the contestants are in which a number of women compete for the title of Top Model and a chance to start their career in modeling industry. It is based from America's Next Top Model created by Tyra Banks and has expanded spin-offs in over 40 countries. The show is produced by 10x10 Entertainment and CBS Paramount Television.

It has implemented changes into this article. ApprenticeFan ^{talk contribs} 15:16, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Seasons table

The heading other contestants is placed over cast size, which is misleading, since the cast size measures all the contestants, not just the number of other contestants. I am going to modify it. Feel free to change it again if you have a better solution. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 11:49, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

You all like the table in its new format? Great. But I was thinking, why naming the international destionation as; Paris, France instead of just Paris? It's already clear that were talking about France, because of the French flag. And it only makes the table more narrowed. FAB!AN (talk) 16:08, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't like the new format for the table. I think the new format with the alternating colors is not aesthetically pleasing and the bands between the columns are distracting. Also, there is too much room devoted to the first few rows (the premiere date, the winner, the runner-up) and not enough space for the other contestants. I do like the new int'l destination row. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.76.135.197 (talk) 20:30, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Added color to table

There is a new situation of "The contestant was entered as replacement into the competition, but was eliminated" this cycle. The first couple of colors used for this were ipreviously used colors, that would cause a conflict with the established color scheme. i chose chocolate because it was unique to the table and fit the established scheme.

  The contestant was entered as replacement into the competition, but was eliminated

Does anyone have an objection to this? ... MistyWillows ^talk 22:15, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Also, in Cycle 4, two contestants were in bottom two (or three in other NTM franchises) and both eliminated with a blank photo.

  The contestant was involved in a double elimination

Does anyone like it, I will replace the single-elimination color into double on NTM franchises. ApprenticeFan ^{talk contribs} 00:38, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I also don't like this idea - why are people so desperate in adding as many colours as possible when its obvious when there are two names violet the same week that it is a double elimination? its also not the first time that ApprenticeFan ^talk is editing all the NTM immediatly before this subject was discussed. Shameless (talk) 23:17, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh Sorry, You really think that the changing color that discussed before I was realized that was a bad idea about double eliminations. ApprenticeFan ^{talk contribs} 23:53, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

I think there are far too many colors, and a special color for a double elimination seems superfluous. See WP:ACCESSIBILITY and Wikipedia:Colours#Using colours in articles for example. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 00:05, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

When user Shameless responded about colors shown above, the difference was the double elimination color could possibly for a future use as a call-out order. ApprenticeFan ^{talk contribs} 04:30, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Someone added in a new color to the table, which is light green for "the contestant was immune from elimination" which applies to Brittany in Cycle 13. ZephyrWind (talk) 01:50, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

  I think we should use the same color with AusNTM, Cycle 4 & 5. Brittany was immune from elimination and won an extra prize, so did Alyce and Franky. 123.20.65.234 (talk) 08:20, 1 October 2009 (UTC).

This color is useless. It's basically a reward challenge win, only the challenge took place at the photoshoot, like it happened twice in C5.--79.87.131.77 (talk) 16:06, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I beg to differ. C5 did not grant immunity. Simple as that. And secondly, Brittany didn't win a reward challenge. It was a challenge that came with a reward. That's why Nicole isn't denoted as winning a challenge in C5ZephyrWind (talk) 14:16, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

The country pose-off did grant immunity, IIRC. And isn't a challenge with a reward a reward challenge? There have been other instances of episodes with two reward challenges (such as in cycle 11 and 12). To me making a new color is just splitting hairs--Whadaheck (talk) 15:12, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Comment. I don't get it. Why make a new color for one single occurence which can easily be said to be a challenge win (even if it gasp§ happened at the photoshoot). Should we make a color for Nikeysha winning the key to the house in cycle 11 while we're at it, or one for girls who were told by Tyra that they would have been called first if not for this or that... Please...--81.194.35.225 (talk) 11:18, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Anything, I'm not forcing my ideas on anyone. And anyways, Whadaheck, do you think a girl who did better in the photo shoot face-off and indeed "won immunity", and insulted Tyra in her face, and came into judging with only a bikini on, do you think she would still be granted immunity? What I'm trying to say is that I don't think the Cycle 5 thing counts as immunity haha, unlike Brittany, who could have done all the above and not be eliminated because she was guaranteed immunity. Food for thought. ZephyrWind (talk) 13:42, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Amber DePace

ANTM Call-out table colors

Further information: Talk:International versions of Top Model § Call-out table colors, Talk:America's Next Top Model/Archive 4 § ANTM Call-out table colors, and Talk:America's Next Top Model/Archive 4 § Added color to table

Back on the Brittany immunity color topic, since I didn't get to answer it, I still do not think a new color is necessary. A footnote is, but it's basically a second challenge. As far as the cycle 5 pose-off goes, the winner was chosen at panel (like during the correspondant challenge in C8 or the styling one in C9), so had a girl insulted Tyra, she would not have been the winner, so Zephyr Wind's point is moot. To me it could be something like:

The colors are re-added from the talk page archive:

Color	Call-out description	Franchise(s)
LimeGreen	The contestant won the competition	All
Crimson	The contestant quit the competition	All
DarkRed	The contestant was eliminated outside of judging panel	ANTM

Purple	The contestant won the reward challenge and was eliminated	All
Violet	The contestant was eliminated (including double/multiple elimination/s and finalists)	All
DeepPink	The contestant was the original eliminee but was saved
MediumVioletRed	The contestant was the original eliminee but was saved, and won thereward challenge	ANTM
PaleVioletRed	The contestant was the original eliminee but quit the competition
Yellow	The contestant was CoverGirl of the Week The contestant was voted by the audience as the fan favourite	ANTM, AusNTM
Orange	The contestant was CoverGirl of the Week and won the reward challenge	ANTM
Olive	The contestant was CoverGirl of the Week and was eliminated	ANTM
DarkBlue	The contestant did not participate in the photo shoot	ANTM, CNTM
Magenta	The contestant won the reward challenge, but did not participate in the photoshoot	HNTM
Teal	The contestant did not participate in the photo shoot and was eliminated	ANTM

DarkGreen	The contestant added into the cast Scouted at a separate audition/Due to a number opening	ANTM, BNLNTM
Chocolate	The contestant was entered as replacement into the competition, but was eliminated	ANTM
Gold	The contestant entered the competition, replacing a contestant who quit.	AusNTM
Tan	The contestant was re-entered into the competition	AusNTM, HNTM, Israel
LightGreen	The contestant was immune from elimination The contestant was immune from elimination and was invited to be on the judging panel	ANTM, BNTM
SpringGreen	The contestant was immune from elimination and won the reward challenge	AusNTM
DarkViolet	The contestant temporarily withdrew from the competition	AusNTM
Pink	The contestant was called but it doesn't represent their position that week	CNTM
SteelBlue	The contestant won the reward challenge and was called but it doesn't represent their position that week	CNTM
Coral	The contestant was nominated for elimination this week	Spain

Colors should not be used if there's only one occurence.--Whadaheck (talk) 22:47, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Green for winner seems dark and Red for quitter is so light. Lime green and Crimson are more suitable. Hotpink is nearly like Violet. 113.22.151.150 (talk) 01:26, 24 October 2009 (UTC).

Thanks for your input. Anyways, I don't think that the chocolate color in Cycle 13 is necessary as what happened to Lisa is basically what happened to Tessa and Giselle in Cycle 1. Creating a new color for the same thing is pretty much superfluous. same goes for Brittany winning immunity in Cycle 13 or Nicole winning to have her pic used as an ad in Cycle 5, those are basically reward challenges.--Whadaheck (talk) 15:11, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

I re-added the chocolate color from talk page archive # 4. Though the green color has never used in Cycle 13 and Lisa had not made it in the final cut on casting week of that said cycle. ApprenticeFan ^{talk contribs} 16:42, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

And Tessa and Giselle didn't make the cut at Cycle 1's casting, they were brought in as replacements because Tyra and the producers couldn't agree on two more girls, yet they are listed below the rest of the girls and Tessa isn't in chocolate color, despite the fact that she's a replacement who got eliminated right away. I don't see why there should be two different policies for one show.--Whadaheck (talk) 19:45, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Read the Cycle 1 article states that Tessa and Giselle were added into the cast during the first half of its first episode. They were not as replacements than Lisa (Cycle 13). During Cycle 10, Dominique was added into the cast after Tyra announced to increase the count of the girls from regular 13 through 14. During the current cycle, Amber had made it into the final 14 list and she went missing at the start of second episode due to personal reasons (2-part episode of 09/09/2009). ApprenticeFan ^{talk contribs} 00:01, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

The basic thing is, Lisa was entered as a replacement, Tessa & Gisele were not. They were officially, full-fletched finalists chosen by Tyra, just at a different casting. Simple. ZephyrWind (talk) 01:45, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

While Tessa and Giselle were picked "by Tyra", they were not even semi-fianlists to begin with, so they are just as much of replacements as Lisa. Adding a new color is just making things more complex for the hell of it. I say, keep it simple--Whadaheck (talk) 19:37, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Don't follow Whadaheck's edits, follow the call-out colors shown above. ApprenticeFan ^{talk contribs} 01:54, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Replacements and additions are clearly different, Dark Green has only been used for additions and not replacements. LIsa was not added too the cast in the same way as Tessa and Giselle in cycle 1. she was eliminated and brought back to replace Amber who quit. I se no basis to use Dark green, or even include LIsa in the table for Episode 1. ... Misty Willows ^talk 21:41, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Well then I'd reccommend a new color for Lisa and Heather in Cycle 9, as their being featured was not technically a challenge, they were just picked by the video director at the beginning of the shoot, that's not the same as a challenge, there was no competition beforehand, we're being specific, right? Same goes for Saleisha on episode 2, for winning an extra prize at panel (and Natasha in Cycle 8 and Nicole in Cycle 5). Nikeysha needs one for randomly getting the key to the house by picking the right purse, Eva, Kahlen, Nicole, Joanie & Caridee need one for being voted as City TV's audience favourite (we have the CoverGirls of the Week, why not have those ?), a LOT of girls need one for being disqualified from a challenge. Should I go on splitting hairs or do we have enough parts already?--Whadaheck (talk) 23:24, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

All of those are trivialities, LIsa replacing amber is a pivotal point in the competition. -... Misty Willows ^talk 12:32, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Winning a feature in a videoclip, a fashion week booking or getting disqualified from a challenge are not trivialities, and to get back to your point about Lisa being eliminated and then brought back, so were Giselle and Tessa, as they weren't picked to be semi-finalists and then brought back as finalists (or Dominique by making it in after Tyra called the "last" girl). So really, Lisa's situation is no different than theirs. The point of the color scheme is to be simple and re-usable, not to note one time thingies.--Whadaheck (talk) 19:03, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

FYI, Gisele, Tessa & Dominique were never eliminated before being picked. The first two weren't even at the auditions for the first cut to be eliminated, and Tyra opened up a slot for Dominique before eliminating the rest of the semi-finalists. ZephyrWind (talk) 02:39, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

And FYI if they weren't there for the first auditions it means their audition tapes hadn't been picked up, therefore they had been eliminated, only it was before the semi-finals, so yes they were eliminated and then brought back. And I never said that Dominique had been eliminated. I just said that her being added due to a number opening is similar to beiong added due to a withdrawal (Lisa) or picky producers (Tessa & Giselle), but why not add a new color while you're at it? --Whadaheck (talk) 18:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, indeed whadaheck! Add one for Isis cos she is a transsexual and broke the rules that states only females 18 and above may apply, and one for Natasha & Lluvy for being non-US citizens when they applied, and Fatima cos she is a refugee. And FYI, Giselle and Tessa never sent in audition tapes for ANTM. They were scouted at a Macy's runway at NYC. And no, Dominique is NOT similar to a withdrawal, because there as none. And this will be the last you hear from me regarding this. Cheers! ZephyrWind (talk) 06:11, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Then why was there an audition tape of Giselle shown during the recap of Cycle 1? Watch it there at 2:24. And I said that Dominique qualifies as an addition (just like Lisa, Giselle or Tessa), not a withdrawal (that would be Kim, Ebony or Cassandra, who have the same color as Amber, despite not quitting in the same way). Withdrawal, one color, Addition, one color.--Whadaheck (talk) 20:26, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Because on the table, the girls are only listed by their first names, so we should arrange them as such, same as Cycles 1 (Giselle then Tessa), 4 (Rebecca then Tiffany), 5 (Jayla then Nicole) & 10 (Aimee then Amis).ZephyrWind (talk) 06:30, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I am the one who has been changing them my reason is: When watching top model the eliminated girl has her portfolio pictures shown this has been done since cycle 3. If you notice in cycle 4 Rebecca's pictures are shown first, then Tiffany's. The same is done for cycle 13, Erin's photo history is shown, followed by Jennifer's. It is clear we should be following what the show does not alphabetical order this is not fair to the best show ever created. Please keep in mind if it is changed again I will change it until you understand my reason. --KrumpMaster4 (talk) 17:25, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Have you heard of consensus? And why are you changing other people's comments on this talk page? Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 18:35, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I dont want this to be an edit war, but just because Erin was shown leaving first in no way implies she came fourth, just like it didnt mean Rebecca did worse than Tiffany all those cycles ago. It could have been so many reasons on the show why Erin's footage was shown first - it could have been alphabetical, it could have been random or it could be simply editting. Had it dawned on you that they could have filmed Jen's first but then shown it second? It should be alphabetical, because your just jumping to assumptions on an edit. If Tyra had said "the first girl to leave is Erin" and then put Laura through then fair enough, but she didnt. (Kyleofark (talk) 20:33, 19 November 2009 (UTC))

I tried they still continue to change it, does anyone know how to get a hold of the Wikipedia people because I would really like to tell them about this, how people won't let you contribute to this page.--KrumpMaster4 (talk) 20:42, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

I put in a request for full protection. Nevermind, it appears you have been blocked. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 00:44, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Dear KrumpMaster4, with all due respect to you and other eager volunteers who wish to contribute on Wikipedia to their favorite shows and programmes, please bear in mind that there's been others who have been contributing, editting, reverting vandalism, discussing for consensus, creating pages and maintaining the integrity of articles way before you did. Before you're being treated just as another come-and-go vandal, just let me remind you that it was not too long ago that ANTM Wiki pages just consisted of contestant bios and a call-out table. The format that it is now in is due to all the contributors through the years. Feel free to "get hold of the Wikipedia people", though I doubt it will be entertained anyway. In the meantime, continue to enjoy ANTM and do remember that Wikipedia is "the Free encyclopedia", not "the KrumpMaster4 encyclopedia". Have a nice day! ZephyrWind (talk) 09:48, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

And you've just proven that Wikipedia is anything but free. There's like two people who decide stuff and no matter how many people disagree, you say it's consensus. 2-3 people is hardly a consensus.--79.87.115.49 (talk) 18:11, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Well said ZephyrWind. There's so many things i'd like to do to so many pages but cant, but hey I just accept that. I think KrumpMaster should take that into consideration, or at least give a convincing argument for his/her point of view before changing the page so often. Prefering one contestant more than another (which is what I think this is really about) is not what Wikipedia is about (Kyleofark (talk) 16:53, 22 November 2009 (UTC))

That's dumb. The consensus is not someone decide and I follow, it's we all agree and then we do it, which happens not to be the case here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.194.35.225 (talk) 18:06, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Kyleofark you are the main one who has been changing the two back. I am aware others have been reversing Jennifer and Erin, I am very happy people agree with me that Erin should go before Jennifer. To everyone else who agrees with this thank you continuing to make a difference. I have been blocked from editting for 72 hours. This is simply rediculous! Who in their right mind would block someone for 72 hours for simply fusing the cells togther so they read "Erin & Jennifer" I thought by doing this we could all adree to disagree. Again I was wrong. It's still their way or no way. I say anyone should be allowed to make changes and continue to do so.--KrumpMaster4 (talk) 19:55, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Actually I'm fine with the merging of the cells. I don't know why you got blocked for that. BUT putting Jennifer above Erin is really what's causing all the problems I think... 121.6.96.156 (talk) 02:07, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Then I guess the new consensus is merging the cells.--Whadaheck (talk) 14:46, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh, my bad, I just edited the Cycle 13 page without checking here. Im personally fine with merging the cells on the table, though it should still read "Erin & Jennifer". Of course, I think that means we should merge any other double eliminations, such as Rebecca and Tiffany, and any other ones in any other countries Top Model.

whadaheck you are jumping the gun again, and prematurely declaring consensus. I don't see a new concusses, I see a few people saying they are open to the Idea, There was a technical reason that merged cells were rejected in the past ( which I don't have time to go through the archives to recall) Lets slow down and do this right. I am personally not in favor of the merge cells, because they introduce potential complications, But if all the technical issues are addressed, and there is a clear consensus (which at the moment there is not) then I won't have objections. I think Plasticspork would be the best arbitrator here, and If s/he is willing, should tally and declare, what the consensus opinion is. I don't see any justification. for making the merge. until that, or a similar process happens. ... Misty Willows ^talk 08:41, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, so far we have 2 unsigned users (possibly 3 counting the one above you), Kyleofark, KrumpMaster4 and myself who seem to be for the merging, and you and Zephyrwind against it. I said the consensus seems to be a merging and nobody opposed it during a few days, then I changed it. And anyways, so far the majority is favorable to the merging. And which technical difficulties are you talking about, it's quite easy to fuse cells if you ask me.--Whadaheck (talk) 12:37, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

I made a new section to discuss the proposal for merging cells, so that we can discuss it like a Wikipedia proposal. ... Misty Willows ^talk 18:54, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

The one thing I really disagree with is Erin coming first in the "In order of elimination" section though. Their surnames are used in this section, so they should be listed in order of surname. Its as simple as that. Thats how it is in "post top model careers," and you'll find I havent changed that once. (Kyleofark (talk) 18:18, 28 November 2009 (UTC))

But also Krumpmaster, you seem to be of the belief that you can just do you want and we should be happy with that? Why should we? You may want it one way, but I may want it another. Your saying you should be allowed to edit as you want.. isnt that exactly what I've been doing too? I think how the page reads know represents a fair compromise, though if someone comes along and changes it to something totally different, is that fair? The whole point in reaching a concensus is to do what the majority want - the majority here stated it should be "Erin, Jennifer" and "Jennifer An, Erin Wagner." Your opinion is of no more or no less value than anyone elses, you just need to realise that when the numbers are against you, then you shouldnt just change the page, you need to convince the majority why your opinions are the correct ones. (Kyleofark (talk) 18:27, 28 November 2009 (UTC))

Agreed. But there I think we should either list them everytime (episode summary, table, order of elim, post show careers) by first name or everytime by last name. It's just strange to have it both ways because it's different sections. On top of that, I repeat that Tessa and Giselle were not called at casting in Cycle 1 (because they weren't there) and since there is a color for replacement and one for replacement & eliminated, I think we could (and should) make the table more accurate. Anyone on board?--Whadaheck (talk) 23:21, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

if the list contains first and last name it makes sense to list by last name, and that is the standard, but if a list only has first names, then it makes no sense to list them according to the implied last name. if the table had "Jennifer An", and "Erin Wagner" in it, the proper order would be Jennifer An" followed by "Erin Wagner". but since it only has "Jennifer" and "Erin". the proper order is Erin followed by Jennifer. If you want to propose that all the tables should have first and last names in it, you might get a consensus. Then things would be the way you want them. ... Misty Willows ^talk 06:46, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

I have been saying this for a while but no one will listen. They always block me this time i have been blocked for a full week. Childish and Foolishness.

You weren't blocked for 'having an opinion'. You were blocked for engaging in an edit war, rather than waiting until consensus had been reached. If you would like to propose a controversial change, start a straw poll, as Misty Willow's did below. Thank you for help! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 23:01, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Cycle 13: Making a difference

Cycle 13 of ANTM is a unique season. The female contestants are all petite women. Why not make a section on this wiki about how this is bringing in a high rating, and how it is changing the way we think of models?

Alphabetical order for post top model careers.

The order of Elimination is completely irrelevant to the post top model carreers of the contestants, so there is no logical reason to have them listed in elimination order. The standard is that lists should be ordered alphabetically, unless there is a logical reason that a different order makes more sense; in this case, elimination order isn't. ...

Proposal: merge cells in table for shared rank

Several times more than one contestant, shared the same rank. there have been scattered discussion in on this page and others about it, solets discuss the pro's and cons of the issue and state whether we are in favor or opposed

Pros: There isn't the appearance of preference, of one contestant over the other. It give better visual feedback, that there was a tie or group rank.

Cons: It makes it confusing if one of the group has special recognition ( like challenge winner or CGOW) that the others don't. There potentially could be some technical difficulty, for some browsers.

... Misty Willows ^talk 18:48, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

There have been 5 occurrences as far as I know:

-The first one being Tessa and Giselle being added into the cast. But that wasn't even at panel and there's already a color scheme for both replacements (darkgreen) and replacements that were eliminated on their first week (chocolate).

-The second one is Tiffany and Rebecca's double elimination. No difference between the two (no challenge win, no CGOTW).

-The third one is Jayla and Nicole's non elimination. No difference again.

-The fourth one is Rae, Brittany and Jennifer. In that case there was a difference, but we have to exit strategies. The first one is coloring the font instead of the background. The second one, better in my opinion, is that Tyra herself ranked the girls while giveing her their critique, so we can split the cell accordingly.

-The last one is Erin and Jennifer's double elimination. No difference.

And so far no browser I have used has ever had a problem with merged cells.

So at the end of the day, the cons aren't really there at this point. The only difference that could remain now is that a girl would end up winning a challenge and tying with another one, since CGOTW doesn't even exist anymore, at which point we could use the first solution I cited above, or decide that winning the challenge places you above one that didn't. But right now, there is no proof such a time would come, so I am voting strongly in favor of the merging.--Whadaheck (talk) 19:11, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Im personally cool with the merged cells, though to be honest im happy either way. The thing what concerns me is if a girl were to for example win a challenge in the future, and get double eliminated with a girl who didnt win a challenge. This happened this year with the three girls/first call out picture, but luckily Tyra said that Rae was the best etc, so it was avoided. My opinion would be merge for now, and if a problem occurs in the future, come back here and readdress the situation. :) (Kyleofark (talk) 00:48, 1 December 2009 (UTC))

I'd really like to hear what Zephyrwind, AprenticeFan and Plastikspork have to say. At the moment I would say that I am weakly opposed this proposal, but open to being persuaded otherwise. Does anyone have examples of other shows that use the merged cell strategy? How do they deal with the fringe cases? ... Misty Willows ^talk 04:27, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

PCD Presents season 1, and it deals with the fringe cases by using the magic of footnotes.--79.87.115.24 (talk) 21:36, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

I am weakly opposed to merging the cells. It really wouldn't bother me either way. I just like to see some level of consistency. I know of many examples where the cells are not joined. I can't think of any cases where the cells are joined. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 04:31, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

To be fair, most shows don't use the call-out order for their tables, just the order of elim. I am in favor of the merging--164.2.255.244 (talk) 09:09, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

I am changing my position to strongly opposed to merging cells, because someone came up with, what I believe to be a much more elegant solution.: bold for group callouts, italic for group eliminations. See the proposal below ... Misty Willows ^talk 23:57, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

I am neutral about it. With regards to the italics, bold and underline, we should implement what we decided on ages ago to help the color-blind. I've done a bit on the tables already. As for now I don't really care whether to merge cells or not, just that it should be tidy, cohesive and agreeable. (And anyway someone has already merged the cells while we were talking about it) ZephyrWind (talk) 04:47, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Proposal: bold/italic in table for shared rank

As an Alternative to merging cells. We could make group callouts and eliminations Bold or Italic, or we could make callouts bold and eliminations italic. I believe this would be preferable to merged cells since it would not cause any of the problems mentioned above, while still accomplishing the goal of demonstrating equal position. I can't see any problems with this unless we actually implement the bold/italic/underline scheme, for the colorblind, that was proposed earlier, but never implemented. ... Misty Willows ^talk 00:14, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

I am strongly opposed to it. Bold and italics are already supposed to be used for reward challenge winners and CGOTW, but nobody took the time.--Whadaheck (talk) 18:03, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

well if you think that, how about doing it youraelf. I came up with the scheme but i never got around to doing it and no one else seemed enthusuatic about the idea. It was just something to help the colorblind . ... Misty Willows ^talk 21:42, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Actually, it was my idea. I posted it in the last archive but forgot to log-in.--Whadaheck (talk) 22:11, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

And done half of it. I'm leaving the rest to you.--Whadaheck (talk) 22:42, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

OK. I've done the formatting for all the articles. As with regards to the merging of cells, as I've said earlier, it's fine to go ahead as long if it doesn't make the article messier or contradict an earlier decided-upon decision. ZephyrWind (talk) 05:13, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

well but I think thats excatly the case now. the table looks all over the place with the bold, italics and underlined letters now. When I first saw it i seriously thought it was vandalism. Why changing something that worked so well before when you? It really takes some time to see why every name is written in different ways when you already have a coloured background cell for each of these scenarios anyway. Is it only for the sake of a merged cell (which would still not work in a lot of ways then and looks horrible) for an event that occured TWICE in 13 Cycles of ANTM? I am strongly opposed to these recent changes that were done to the call out table as it makes it much more complicated to read and adds some difersify to it that is not really needed. And this argument that Jennifer should be listed before Erin is really ridicolous. Should we really change an entire concept only because some user is offended that one girl is listed above the other whereas both still went at the same time?! Shameless (talk) 12:43, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Actually, girls being called together happened 5 times already (which is more often than say: a girl getting immunity, a girl being saved from elimination after winning the challenge, a girl quitting, a girl winning two challenges, a girl skipping the photoshoot and being saved or not, all of which have their very own color). So it's quite ridiculous to use this as a reason not to fuse the cells. And fusing the cells and making the table color-blind-friendly are two separate things. If the consensus were to undo those changes (which it currently is not) I'd still be in favor of merging the cells and against bolding joint call-outs.--Whadaheck (talk) 14:50, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

I understand the reasoning behind this was to aid the color-blind, as with the same thing that happened to the Amazing Race articles. I've no opinion on the aesthetics. ZephyrWind (talk) 11:58, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
