Trivia
- In an May 2020 Instagram livestream Jay Manuel admitted that the rumours that the contestants were detained in Japan upon arriving in Tokyo where “100% true”. He revealed that. The judges had already arrived in Tokyo because they fly ahead of the contestants, but upon arriving in Tokyo, customs “thought they were hookers” and didn’t let them in the county. However, before they could be detained, production “put them back on a plane, flew them to Guam ... for two days ... and from there the girls got proper visas to enter the country”. J. Alexander also revealed that he was meant to meet the girls at the airport and was left waited for them for hours because he hadn’t been told what was happening. The left him “mad, angry ... furious” because production “completely forget” about him and he had travelled for “two hours” from Tokyo to the airport to meet them.
- Jay also revealed that the show’s stylist was travelling with the contestants but that in Tokyo, they “don’t have showrooms like in a lot of ... European cities, so she travelled with trunks with the clothes for the photo shoots. But she was also “turned away” at customs, got a “black stamp” in her passport and was sent “back to New York”. However she took her trunks with her and production told Jay “guess what now, you’re styling”. They gave him money and him and J. Alexander had to buy all the clothes for the photoshoots in Japan in Harajuku whenever they had a free moment. He joked that after that experience “he never wants to style shoots again”.
- Jay Manuel has also admitted that the girls being turned away at customs was the “big disaster of Cycle 3” and “did mess up production”. Because CoverGirl partnered of ANTM as of Cycle 3, they had a bigger budget and so Manuel was able to produce a “really elaborate commercial which was what the girls were supposed to shoot when they landed in Tokyo”. He described how he built a “huge set” that took a “week to build” and a got a “famous director to shoot it” but once the girls were sent to Guam, production “tore it all down”. When the girls “finally showed up” in Tokyo, production said they couldn’t give Manuel any more money for a new commercial. Manuel says he was extremely angry and production told him it was his problem which he claims is “very America’s Next Top Model production”. Eventually they did the ‘commercial‘, but the robes that the girls were wearing in the commercial were actually the robes from Manuel’s and Alexander’s hotel and they shot it on a “patio” with a “reality cam” with no proper lighting. The commercials ended up up being judged “an hour later” and Manuel was “mortified”, saying it “looked horrible” and that he was “embarrassed to even say what happened”.
- Jay Manuel revealed that the real reason why Tiffany didn’t get into the house was because she didn’t pass the psychological evaluation at casting week, not because Tyra didn’t want her. He admitted that off-camera, Tyra told Tiffany that “can you get help?” and the network “paid for her to get counselling and allowed her to come back and audition for Cycle 4”.
