Created by world-renowned supermodel Tyra Banks, AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL chronicles the transformation of everyday young men and women into potentially fierce supermodels. Cameras catch each moment as participants face weekly tests that determine who makes the cut. With mentoring by supermodel Tyra Banks and exposure to high-profile fashion industry gurus, candidates are asked to demonstrate both inner and outer beauty as they master complicated catwalks, intense physical fitness, fashion photo shoots, and publicity skills, all while under 24-hour-a-day surveillance.
