List of episodes

America's Next Top Model, cycle 1 was the first cycle of America's Next Top Model. It originally aired on UPN from May to July 2003, and was hosted by Tyra Banks, who additionally served as its executive producer and presenter. The judging panel consisted of Banks, Janice Dickinson, Kimora Lee Simmons, and Beau Quillian. The cycle's catchphrase was "One girl has what it takes."[1][2][3]

This was the only season to feature a cast of only ten finalists. All later cycles have featured at least twelve finalists. The international destination for the cycle was Paris, France.[4] The winner of the competition was 20-year-old Adrianne Curry from Joliet, Illinois. Her prizes were a modeling contract with Wilhelmina Models, a photo spread in Marie Claire magazine, and a contract with Revlon cosmetics.[5]

Critical reception

Cycle 1 has received positive reviews from critics. Despite its low budget, E. Alex Jung commentened how this worked to the show's advantage, praising how Tyra “wanted to reflect the reality of life as a working model” and acknowledging that “there was something about the low production value that reflected that simple truth.” He also praised it in comparison to other seasons of America's Next Top Model, commentening how “ANTM’s first season felt like a glimpse into how fashion actually worked” whereas later seasons “became campier, more ludicrous, and vaguely surreal”. Jung also states that Cycle 1 “was the only season where the contestants didn’t readily buy into the project” and commended the season for respecting their decisions, such as when Shannon and Robin refused to pose nude.[16]

Margaret Lyons also praised the season, describing is as “impeachable” and “one of the best seasons, debut or otherwise, that any reality show has ever had”. She argued that “ANTM helped usher in the era of profession-based reality contest shows” but viewed it more positively compared to the rest of America's Next Top Model's seasons, commenting how “nothing has ever quite lived up to the perfection of season one” and how “the grossness of Tyra’s constant idiotic catchphrases, and the repetitiveness of the challenges (have) eventually eroded my passion for the series”.[17]

Trivia

  • In an Instagram livestream, Jay Manuel revealed that Cycle 1 had such a low budget, that he was the one on the computer, throwing the photos up onto the screen during panel.
  • Manuel also revealed that during the filming of episode 7, when the black and white photos that Tyra Banks sigo came up on the screen before panel, Janice Dickinson said “Who shoot these photos! They’re horrible!“.

Controversies

After winning Cycle 1, Adrianne Curry was meant to receive a contract with Revlon and Wilhelmina Models, but she never received it. America's Next Top Model and Tyra Banks ignored her when she contacted them about the issue,[23] and Curry was subsequently erased from the show[24], with Curry not being featured on the show again after Cycle 2. She was not being featured in the opening credits for Cycles 7, 8 or 9 alongside the other previous winners of America's Next Top Model,[25] although she was mentioned in Cycle 20, as part of a challenge.
