00:00I don't know, I just don't think this is great for me. I don't want to do it. I want to go home.
00:05Like, I can't take the pressure of it.
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the cringiest, cruelest, and downright unhinged incidents in top model history.
00:15The kid was freaking heavy.
00:17Kids are not my thing.
00:21Number 20, Tyra fakes a fall.
00:24Well, you guys are the top nine, so you've gotten this far.
00:28So is it hard walking into the judging room?
00:32Yes, it's so hard.
00:34I've been working so hard, I'm so tired, you guys.
00:36Move over, Ellen DeGeneres.
00:38Host and mentor Tyra Banks was just as good at scaring the hell out of innocent bystanders as the prank-loving talk show host ever was.
00:46In Cycle 6, Banks decides to introduce the week's acting challenge by putting on a performance of her own.
00:52Addressing the models, she began to feel lightheaded and collapses in a heap in front of them.
00:58Tyra makes a miraculous recovery, only to then shout in their horrified faces that she was just acting.
01:15But the women are clearly shaken up, with one contestant terrified to the point of tears.
01:20Today, you guys are going to learn about acting!
01:24Learn about acting!
01:26Acting, acting, acting!
01:27That was fake!
01:28That was a good job.
01:29Good job!
01:31Good job.
01:32That was a good job.
01:34Oh!
01:37Are you okay?
01:38Number 19, Cassandra quits.
01:41It's not that I don't feel comfortable sharing things with other people.
01:45It's just that I'm not an emotional person.
01:47The makeover episode is a sticking point for a lot of top model contestants.
01:52Tyra Banks and her team often make dramatic changes to their appearance for the sake of shock value,
01:57pinpointing features that are often very important to the contestants.
02:01Cycle 5's Cassandra Whitehead was not having it.
02:04Obviously, I'm still going to be a feminine person because that's how I am.
02:07What will bother me most about the makeover is Jay said, no, you can't act feminine anymore.
02:11A lot more kind of mod, a little more edgy.
02:13You have to act edgy.
02:15Her new look was supposed to be a blonde pixie cut somewhat similar to Mia Farrow's in Rosemary's Baby.
02:22Well, I'm going to do the best I can with this hair, and I think that they did it for a reason,
02:27so I'm going to try to use it as an advantage.
02:30Banks, dissatisfied with the result, tells Whitehead she'll have to undergo an even more dramatic cut the next round.
02:37She refuses and is immediately guilted and shamed by Jay Manuel before quitting the competition entirely.
02:44It marks the first time a model quit the series.
02:46Not complying with this haircut, where does that put you?
02:49And she said, well, I guess I'm going to go home.
02:51I have to be myself, and I want to walk out of this competition knowing that I did what I think was right in the long run,
03:02and that includes not letting people try and change the way I am.
03:06Number 18, a message in a brownie.
03:08It's brownies.
03:10Cassie had made brownies, you know, low-carb brownies.
03:14They can only be Cassie's because we eat low-carb brownies.
03:16Which are $6 a bag, which is very expensive for a little thing of brownies.
03:21And they were sitting on the counter with all of her stuff out that she used to make them.
03:26Most of the best drama on this show happens in the dorms.
03:30Put a bunch of models together in a house, and there's going to be a lot of tension.
03:34Besties and frenemies Eva Marceal and Anne Markley could agree on one thing.
03:38Castmate Cassie Grisham was a messy roommate.
03:41Ah, so is your oil finished?
03:44I will not cook in a kitchen that's dirty.
03:46Like, that is disgusting.
03:47This place is so frustrating.
03:49It's disgusting.
03:50Like, why is this just laying here?
03:52Yeah, yeah.
03:54We should draw it in.
03:55Like, Cassie, clean your dishes.
03:57Is that rude?
03:58No, that doesn't ruin it.
03:59Fed up with cleaning after her, the two decide to leave a message in her brownie dessert.
04:04Their helpful but pointed message to Grisham is petty top model antics at their finest.
04:09Grisham doesn't think it's funny at all.
04:11And it sets off a whodunit mystery that ends with an argument about the maturity level of
04:16mutilating someone else's brownies.
04:18Can you read that?
04:19Yes.
04:20Yes.
04:21I should have read, eat some carbs.
04:25Number 17.
04:26Jade's CoverGirl Commercial.
04:28It's up to you to improvise and sell yourself.
04:31You've seen CoverGirl commercials?
04:32You know how they go?
04:34I have personality.
04:35You know, I have style.
04:37You know, I have class.
04:39And I'm just me, and I'm real.
04:41Tasked with walking and talking at the same time, like many of her castmates, Jade Cole
04:46was stumped by the CoverGirl Commercial Challenge.
04:49The prompt seemed simple.
04:50Casually stroll through a party set, improvise some lines, hit a mark, and then give the product
04:55pitch.
04:56Party!
04:57Oh my gosh!
04:58The second time, I just took my time, talking the bigger, but I felt fabulous.
05:06She's so drag queen.
05:12Okay.
05:13Jade is stunningly over the top.
05:15Sure, she doesn't remember a word of the script.
05:17It doesn't matter.
05:18She's fabulous, and she believes she's nailing this.
05:22Her complete belief in herself, no matter the circumstances, is endearing and unhinged all
05:26at once.
05:27Even when she fails, the incomparable, unflappable cold delivers comedy gold.
05:32She doesn't quite grasp the fact that she's got to improvise in this scene.
05:38It was 30 seconds of me listening to her heels clop on the concrete.
05:42Number 16.
05:43Rebecca Faints During Critiques.
05:45I think you have everything together for her model.
05:49You need to work on your presence.
05:50Facing the judges panel can be nerve-wracking.
05:53For Cycle 4's Rebecca Epley, the stress of it looked like it became too much.
05:58During her critique in Week 3, Epley faints and hits the ground with alarming force.
06:03This is a rarity on this list.
06:05It's a crazy top model moment that doesn't seem like the show's fault, as fainting spells
06:10are a symptom of Epley's medical condition.
06:12I didn't feel that you embrace...
06:16Oh my God!
06:18Can somebody call a paramedic?
06:21But according to many contestants, this wasn't the first nor the last time a contestant would
06:26faint during filming due to the stress of the show and its long production hours.
06:31Wait, what is it?
06:34Okay, she's blinking.
06:34She's okay.
06:35We're all starting.
06:36When something like this happens, you can't believe it just happened.
06:40I mean, Becca, she's explained to me that she has a pre-existing condition where she collapses.
06:45She has had tests done since she was three years old, but it's been six or seven years
06:49since her last collapse.
06:52Number 15, Joni's Dental Work.
06:55In afternoon, Joni.
06:56Tyra has asked to see what we can do to improve on the smile.
07:01Sometimes the early season makeover isn't just some cosmetic trims and cuts.
07:06As competitors Danielle Evans and Joni Dodds found out, this could require extensive dental
07:11work.
07:12Evans refused to get her front tooth gap closed, but she accompanied Dodds while she had 12
07:17hours of extensive work done on her smile.
07:19The cameras aren't afraid to get up close and personal either.
07:23This process puts a lot of work and a lot of stress.
07:26If we'll be here all night.
07:27That's what it takes.
07:29And not only that, but I have to get up in the morning and be a model.
07:32Dodds' bleeding, swollen mouth is put on display for us to see.
07:36And despite a sleepless night of surgery, she's not even excused from the challenges and then
07:42has to get even more work done.
07:44It's just another case of beauty-focused reality shows that went a little too far.
07:49I have to deal with it all day tomorrow.
07:51Look at my teeth.
07:53Number 14.
07:54Alexandra vs. the Pendulums
07:56This is a challenge and you girls have to walk through these pendulums.
08:02Oh my god.
08:04With perfect timing.
08:06If not, you just may get.
08:10Tyra Banks and company didn't even give this cycle's cast a chance to work up to one of
08:14the show's deadliest runways.
08:16This segment sees the models of Cycle 14 walking a runway and having to avoid two huge swinging
08:22pendulums crossing their path.
08:24Shockingly, immediate disaster does not ensue.
08:28Most of the models miss getting hit, if only by inches.
08:31Then Alexandra Underwood walks.
08:33Her problems begin almost immediately.
08:36She takes a spill on the stairs long before she even makes it down to the pendulums.
08:40And then everything goes wrong.
08:52Hold on, baby girl.
08:54Her face isn't right.
08:55Her footsteps are wobbly.
08:56And a pendulum comes and makes her take a top model tumble right off the runway.
09:00When you gave the top model tumble, your confidence just kind of left you.
09:05And then you just walked like he was mad as hell.
09:07You just started marching.
09:09But it wasn't strong and elegant and powerful.
09:11Models fall all the time.
09:12But you get up, you keep going, and you keep selling the clothes.
09:16Number 13.
09:17Lisa Demonstrates the Product.
09:19Lisa, don't pee in that.
09:20No, please do.
09:21Lisa, pee.
09:22Then Lisa announces that she's going to pee in a diaper.
09:25Hey, don't pee well.
09:27Lisa D'Amato first became known on the show's fifth season, where she proved that outrageousness was her bread and butter.
09:34Her antics both on set and in the house made her a fan favorite.
09:38But her most notorious moment has to be when she wore and then used an adult diaper on screen at the urging of the cast of Jackass.
09:46I'm wearing your guys' underwear.
09:48Why?
09:49Why not?
09:50When I was getting a little bit of attention from Steve-O, Lisa walks in with a diaper on.
09:55Like, she has to try to outshine everyone.
09:57She is so weird.
09:59This moment earned mixed reviews from fans and her fellow castmates.
10:03Most felt it tanked her chances, and Entertainment Weekly accused her of being more interested in becoming a reality star than a supermodel.
10:11This didn't stop D'Amato from coming back and winning the show's All-Stars edition, though.
10:15Oh my God, that's right.
10:16She's doing it, dude.
10:18You can totally see her.
10:19No woman of class, especially a supermodel in making, is going to do something as disgusting as pee on herself at her jaw.
10:28I feel disgusted.
10:30Number 12, Jada and the Racist Model.
10:33So do you want me to be like that?
10:34No, I don't like it.
10:36We're almost done here.
10:37You what?
10:38Do you understand?
10:39No.
10:39Do you think it's like that?
10:41No, I don't do it.
10:42Okay.
10:42I say, I don't like it.
10:45Good.
10:45Only 18 years old at the time of filming, Jada Young's time on the seventh season was a rollercoaster.
10:52She was constantly in the bottom when it came to critiques, but her eventual elimination is one of the most uncomfortable in the whole franchise.
10:59While in Spain, Young was paired with a male model named Nacho for a commercial.
11:04Jada's partner Nacho tells Jada that he doesn't even like black girls.
11:08She's like, are you serious?
11:10No one should be treated like that.
11:12I would hate if I had that guy.
11:13I'd make out with like Amanda before I'd make out with him.
11:18He doesn't want to help me.
11:19Do you like it, Robbie?
11:21He doesn't want to help me.
11:22I'm worried about tomorrow's shoot because I have to make out with this guy who's an idiot.
11:25His seemingly unprompted admission that he is not attracted to black women puts Jada off.
11:30The judges blame her for letting her self-consciousness show through, and their insensitive suggestions just drive the unfairness home.
11:38She is eliminated based on her performance, even though her deep discomfort is understandable.
11:43First of all, you can't cry because we don't have time to fix your makeup.
11:46Sorry.
11:47What's the problem?
11:48I just, I can't do this.
11:50I'm crying because I'm frustrated.
11:52I'm frustrated that I have to kiss this guy.
11:54I'm frustrated that I suck really bad at this.
11:56I just hope I don't ever have to go through that again.
11:59Number 11, conveyor belt catwalk.
12:02There's one trick.
12:03When you're doing it, it will be moving.
12:06That is conveyor belt.
12:08And the conveyor belt will be moving.
12:10Here's what happens when top model meets fear factor.
12:14In this unforgettable episode, Miss J. Alexander drops a massive bomb on the models of Cycle 15.
12:21The runway is going to move.
12:23I've never felt more embarrassed at one time in my life.
12:26I'd rather have natural labor again than do this.
12:29As soon as the first contender Chelsea Hursley hits the moving walkway,
12:33she stumbles over herself to the entertainment of the gathered onlookers.
12:37It just goes downhill from there.
12:39These models have barely experienced a stationary runway.
12:43Sure, let's slap on some trains and heels on them
12:45and push them onto a fast-moving conveyor belt in front of a gawking audience.
12:49I got on there and my shoe gets pulled right off.
12:52But I still smiling though.
12:54Yeah, I'm still fierce.
12:55I'm still fierce.
12:57And then Miss J has the nerve to criticize them for not looking comfortable.
13:02It's not the most dangerous or most punishing challenge,
13:05but it's awfully close.
13:06I did not do that.
13:11Woo, Jesus.
13:13Bravo!
13:15Number 10.
13:16Yaya's hat.
13:17In one episode, the models are tasked with choosing a hat to represent their personal style.
13:22The judges expressed surprise that Yaya DaCosta's pride in her African heritage
13:26hasn't translated into her picking the provided fake kente cloth hat.
13:30In response to trying to prove myself as an African,
13:34that's just where I come from.
13:35It's very natural to me.
13:37And I did not choose that hat for the very specific reason that it's very cliche.
13:42The fabric that it's made from is very artificial, very cheap, fake kente.
13:47But the sideways comments from the panel are the real outrageous part here.
13:51You need to apologize to the fake kente cloth African hat.
13:56Yaya, it was like you were on this pedestal and this hat smelled like dookie.
14:01Panelist Nole Marin makes a strange comment about riding giraffes.
14:05Yaya, you're, I feel half African, half cowgirl.
14:08Looks like you're about to ride a giraffe.
14:11I think I'm not feeling it.
14:13Guest judge Rebecca Weinberg tells DaCosta that she's constantly throwing her African
14:18heritage in their faces.
14:20When the eventual runner-up dares to push back, Tyra Banks chastises her for her defensive
14:24tone and even suggests she should apologize to the hat at one point.
14:29DaCosta has since spoken about the racism she endured on set.
14:32This scene is a blatant example.
14:34Just because we had a talk about, you know, Afro-centricity before and it's kind of misunderstood.
14:40I'm all about, like, expressing yourself and your culture.
14:43But it's still done in a fashion way.
14:45You want your outfit to be, look at me.
14:47And this outfit is, look over there.
14:49Number 9.
14:50Shandy Cheats on Her Boyfriend
14:52Having really good looking guys come over and then all getting a jacuzzi.
14:57Ding!
14:58Hold on a second, Shandy.
14:59You've got a boyfriend.
15:00We've seen the producers throw a lot at the top models.
15:06Shandy Sullivan contends that producers initiated the visit from the male models that would end
15:11up costing her her relationship.
15:13But a breakup in real time is something that not even Tyra Banks and company could orchestrate
15:17to this effect.
15:18I just couldn't control myself.
15:20Like, I really couldn't.
15:21He was there and I had all this tension and...
15:25Let it go.
15:28I just let it happen.
15:29Cycle 2 finalist Shandy Sullivan was incredibly charmed by one of their guests.
15:34So much so that she went to bed with him and called her boyfriend to tell him in front
15:39of top models' cameras.
15:40Her boyfriend's devastated reaction and uncomfortable, if understandable, anger pushes the boundaries
15:46of decency, even for this show.
15:49Unfortunately, their tearful, angry argument is probably catnip for reality TV producers.
15:54I never thought you could do that.
15:56I can't be with someone that cheated on me.
16:01Oh, God.
16:03What do you want me to do?
16:04What can I say to this?
16:06Number 8.
16:0750 Cent pushes JL.
16:09We met 50 Cent, which was very cool.
16:12She's a supermodel for real.
16:13The cast finds themselves invited to a particularly star-studded party in this wild episode from
16:20the show's 8th season.
16:22One person who is not intimidated by her surroundings is the late JL Strauss.
16:26My mom is black and my dad's a Jew.
16:28I'm blue and she can't hang with that.
16:30She starts treating some of these celebrities like 50 Cent himself, like she's old friends
16:34with them.
16:35In fact, she starts to look a little bit like an annoying little sister.
16:39Then there's a jump cut and 50 Cent pushes JL into the swimming pool.
16:44I asked you to leave.
16:45You're mad.
16:51This turns into an all-out champagne fight and an impromptu swim.
16:56It's a weird moment and there's clearly a lot of footage missing.
17:00So it just looks like 50 Cent pushed Strauss out of irritation.
17:04You know you're at a party.
17:05It's going on all night.
17:07You think you're supposed to impress people.
17:09You do not mess with 50 Cent, first of all, and get up in his face.
17:12And you do not get thrown into a pool.
17:14Number 7.
17:15Flesh-Eating Bacteria.
17:17After that challenge, I realized that this was spreading on my face.
17:21My face is getting worse and I don't know what to do with it.
17:24Michelle Dighton was clearly struggling to make friends in the models' house.
17:28When a rash begins to spread over her face, a call from a fellow model's mother sends
17:32her castmates into a frenzy that it was a contagious and deadly flesh-eating bacteria.
17:37It ultimately became another way of ostracizing Dighton further.
17:41While these models are definitely overreacting, a bunch of models being cut from the world when
17:47a deadly bacteria breaks out, sounds like a horror movie we'd totally watch.
17:51I'm flipping out because I don't want anything to eat my skin.
17:55You know, I love my skin.
17:56It has been all over the news.
17:58There are the news.
17:59Um, hash-eating bacteria that is uncurable by antibiotics.
18:03Someone's already died from it.
18:04Something!
18:05Eventually, the rash just turns out to be impetigo, which is contagious but mostly harmless.
18:13Crazily, as you'll see later, this is actually the second most outrageous thing to happen
18:18in this now-hard-to-find episode.
18:20Um, some kind of disease that eats your skin?
18:23Uh-uh.
18:24Oh, you sure?
18:24You ain't hear nothing about it?
18:26Uh-uh.
18:26Y'all just can get a like.
18:28My girl's talking we need to get a like.
18:30Y'all ain't got nothing to do.
18:31Read a book or something.
18:33Number six, Elise's rant.
18:35It's been over 20 years, and we still don't know why Elise Sewell signed up for this show.
18:40That was a really forward thing to do.
18:43I don't believe in God, and it was offensive.
18:45But without her, the show's very first season would not have been such must-see TV.
18:51Frankly, this dress is hideous, and I am so glad that I don't own it.
18:54The med-student-turned-model can't suffer these other fools.
18:58It's an argument about religion that finally sets her off.
19:01Taking to the janky, low-budget confessional room to unload her deeply-held resentments,
19:06expletive-laden and incredibly thorough,
19:09Elise tears into her fellow competitors with the cutting precision of a surgeon.
19:13You know what I think of you?
19:14Foolish is a woman who believes that f*** damn tripe.
19:18Giselle, you f*** worthless f***.
19:22You are so wasteful, bitchy, stupid.
19:26Not even Miss J is safe from her withering commentary.
19:30Her frustration culminated in one of reality TV's most iconic rants.
19:34J, you offended me today.
19:36I know that medical school is hard work.
19:39How could I possibly not be aware of that?
19:41It takes a f***ing ass to cover every seat you f***ing slice.
19:45Number 5.
19:46Badly-timed coffin photo shoot.
19:48I checked my messages and found out that one of the girls I was very good friends with
19:55when I was a little bit younger had passed away.
19:59Having these models pose in a fresh grave in a real cemetery is questionable enough.
20:03But a personal tragedy for one of them was still fresh when the coffin photo shoot came along.
20:09The top model cast are often sequestered from their daily lives to shoot a season.
20:13News from home can be sporadic.
20:16While she was filming for Cycle 4,
20:18Kaylin Ronda received news that her friend passed away and she had already missed the funeral.
20:23It's kind of like another test for me is to see if I can do this.
20:27I'm just, I'm heartbroken.
20:30The show, her competitors, and the judges frame it as a personal challenge for her to overcome.
20:35Viewers still accuse the show of being insensitive to her grief.
20:39Although Tyra Banks insists the photo show was pre-planned,
20:42the timing was just horrendous.
20:44Kaylin.
20:45Kaylin was having a really hard time because she just found out that her friend died.
20:49But she brought it in the picture.
20:50She delivers.
20:51She really delivers.
20:52This is another great one.
20:54Number 4.
20:55Biracial photo shoot.
20:56I'm definitely worried about my photo shoot
20:59because I literally feel like my flesh could just fall off right now.
21:02But I know if I just keep trying that it's something I can overcome.
21:06For the annual season trip,
21:08the final six of the 13th season were flown to Hawaii.
21:11There, Tyra Banks and J. Manuel introduced their unconventional photo shoot challenge.
21:17The models are tasked to represent different biracial identities from around the world.
21:21But it's not just clothes they're changing into.
21:24Makeup artists also smear their bodies with colorful body paint,
21:28effectively putting them in brown, black, and yellow face.
21:31Think about Egypt, the people, what they've been through.
21:34Erin was lost.
21:36I do have a picture that she happened to fall into.
21:39That was great.
21:40But she fell into it.
21:41It was an accident.
21:42Okay, we got it.
21:44This didn't escape the notice of the models themselves.
21:47And it wasn't even uncontroversial at the time.
21:49Now, I like your shapes.
21:51Nigel doesn't, but I do.
21:52So I want to see the famous Nicole shapes that you do.
21:54Work it out.
21:55Even in 2009,
21:57Banks explained away the problematic nature of the shoot
22:00by saying that she was just trying to celebrate the blending of cultures.
22:03Get up a little more.
22:05It was a little more relaxed though.
22:07I need shapes.
22:08He's a little too straight.
22:09I really need to relax more.
22:11And I really need to show the younger Britney that exists under this very composed mathematician.
22:18Exaggerated even more.
22:19Number 3.
22:2010-inch heels.
22:28Beauty is pain.
22:29But this is kind of insane.
22:32The models of Cycle 6 are made to strap on some impossibly high 10-inch heels
22:36and stomp the runway for the judges.
22:39Who would have thought this would be borderline dangerous?
22:41Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down.
22:46Even the stars of the competition can't quite manage to look like they're not terrified
22:51of breaking something.
22:52Some are not so lucky.
22:54Danielle Evans takes a nasty spill that sprains her toe and leaves her crawling backstage.
22:59And then there's Tyra Banks, cringing and talking them through it like a birthing coach.
23:04It's almost like she's being forced to watch something she doesn't have total control over.
23:08This is the most nerve-wracking judging test we have ever done.
23:14I was holding my breath the entire time.
23:19Just keep her, keep her, her, her, her, her, her, her.
23:21Okay.
23:22Both my feet were just thriving, you know, pulsating.
23:25Okay, the doctor's gonna be here.
23:26I was just like, I don't know how I'm gonna be able to do this.
23:29Number 2.
23:30We were all rooting for you.
23:32You've been through your grandmother getting her lights turned off to buy you a swimsuit
23:35for this competition.
23:37And you go over there and you joke and you laugh?
23:39This is serious to these girls.
23:41And this should be serious to you.
23:42Looks can be deceiving.
23:43I'm hurt.
23:44I am.
23:45Since it's become a near ubiquitous meme, it's easy to just laugh at Tyra Banks' be
23:51quiet Tiffany rant.
23:52But the original scene is genuinely disturbing.
23:55You know that you had a possibility to win?
23:57Do you know that all of America is rooting for you?
24:00Do you know that?
24:01And then you come in here and you treat this like a joke?
24:03You come in here and look at that and say, I can't read that.
24:05You read 10 times better than half of those girls over there.
24:08You did.
24:09You did.
24:09And you come in here with a defeatist attitude.
24:11I don't have a bad attitude.
24:12Maybe I am angry inside.
24:14I've been through stuff, so I'm angry.
24:16Tiffany Richardson has just been cut.
24:18And the fact that the eliminated contestant isn't offering her tears for the camera seems
24:22to irk Banks to no end.
24:24Stop it!
24:25I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this.
24:31When my mother yells at this, it's because she loves me.
24:34I was rooting for you.
24:35We were all rooting for you.
24:37How dare you learn something from this?
24:40When you go to bed at night, you lay there and you take responsibility for yourself.
24:44Because nobody's going to take responsibility for you.
24:46She was rooting for Tiffany after all, but her reaction seems completely outsized to the
24:51moment.
24:52For all the great sound bites, it's actually ridiculous.
24:55What it comes down to is the host is shouting at Richardson for having a completely mature
25:00reaction to her own loss.
25:02You roll in your eyes and you act like this because you've heard it all before.
25:05You've heard it all before.
25:06You don't know where the hell I come from.
25:07You have no idea what I've been through.
25:09But I'm not a victim.
25:10I grow from it and I learn.
25:13Take responsibility for yourself.

25:35Number 1.
25:37Ethnicity Swapping Photoshoot
25:39Now there's a twist.
25:40We are actually going to switch your ethnicities.
25:43We had a lot of time on our hands in 2020.
25:48Some of us decided to start watching Top Model again from the beginning.
25:51And judging from the reaction on social media, a lot of people forgot this Cycle 4 Got Milk
25:57Photoshoot.
25:58For the shoot, the models are made up as women of other ethnicities, holding actual babies
26:18of the ethnic group they were meant to pass as.
26:21There's a lot to unpack here, as the saying goes.
26:24Rediscovering this moment probably did more than anything else to make people re-evaluate
26:29the cultural impact and cultural missteps of a show that defined 2000s and early reality
26:34TV.
26:47What else should have been in the running to become America's Next Top Model's most outrageous
26:51moment?
26:52Let us know in the comments.
26:53This is a competition.
26:54This is not America's Next Top Best Friend.
26:58I want to be America's Next Top Model because I have everything that it takes to be that.
