''America’s Next Top Model'' is a Reality Television show which pits Contestant s against each other in a variety of competitions to determine who will win a Modeling Contract with Makeup manufacturer CoverGirl . Supermodel Tyra Banks hosts and produces the show. The premiere season also featured judges Kimora Lee Simmons , Beau Quillian , and Janice Dickinson , who bills herself as the world's first supermodel. By the next season, only Tyra and Janice remained judges, but the others have included ex-model/fashion photographer Nigel Barker and fashion editor/stylist Nolé Marin . After season four, Janice, amid rumors of personality conflicts with some other judges, and Marin were replaced by Twiggy and Miss J. Alexander (Alexander had been involved with the runway and various photo shoots since the first season). The model-aspirants are also coached through photo-shoots by stylist and personal friend of Tyra's, Jay Manuel . Cycle 5 and Cycle 6 serve as a lead-in to UPN 's high school noir show '' Veronica Mars '', and the two shows have had several crossovers.
