AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL IS....NOT THE JUDGES, JAY'S OR NIGEL BARKER THEY ALL GOT FIRED!!

Tyra Banks is completely overhauling ‘America’s Next Top Model‘ as she’s fired original co-stars Jay Manuel, Jay Alexander and judge Nigel Barker. But will this stop the show’s ratings freefall?

What a different chilly season ‘America’s Next Top Model‘ has been as the ‘British Invasion’ hasn’t gelled with fans, nor has the addition of pr Kelly Cutrone done Tyra Banks‘ reality show any favors. Last season’s Angelea Preston shocker brought the slowly sinking CW show back into the mainstream press, but when nothing was ever revealed, fans revolted and many didn’t return. 

This new season twist has been so boring after we all expected more excitement after last season’s controversy. Banks’ model show is feeling very long in the tooth, and it’s obvious she’s feeling it with the latest extreme turnover.

Fan adored Miss Jay, who taught many young models, including Tyra, how to walk the catwalk, and who couldn’t wait to see how much younger Jay Manuel could make himself look? 


Manuel was the show’s creative director and along with Nigel Barker, they’d been with the show since it’s humble beginnings back in 2003. They’ve seen a wave of judges come through, but it was always one at a time rather than a slew getting tossed out.

 But we’ve seen this before when shows are bleeding viewers, and everyone gets nervous and feels that it’s time to bring in all new blood.  The three were told of the decision earlier this week, and I must say, it just seems like a very rash move. 


I’ve really been missing Andre Leon Talley’s ‘salon’ talk, but with Jay, J. and Nigel out, it’s just not the same show, and I have a feeling many fans will be agreeing.
