Something New
For the first time, the show included a transgender contestant in the competition. And although Isis didn't win Cycle 11 (or the All-Star Cycle), she did land a deal with American Apparel.
Tyra Gets Loud
Don't let that beautiful face fool you. Tyra Banks has gotten loud and chewed out contestants, like the infamous moment when she yelled at Tiffany (Cycle 4) for not taking the competition seriously after getting eliminated.
The Wrath of Nigel Barker
CariDee's humor in Cycle 7 got the best of her. After photographer and judge Nigel Barker took a stick that the girls were using as a prob, CariDee asked if he had pulled it out of his you-know-what. Not good.
Timber!
It's one thing to fall during your runway strut, but Chantal (Cycle 9) managed to take down a stilt-walker during a shoot.
Top Model Conspiracy?
After the All-Stars Cycle, there were questions as to who actually won. Although Lisa was crowned Top Model, it was evident that the show retaped the finale. Rumor had it Angelea was actually the winner but got disqualified.
Going Down Under
Tyra is known for getting creative when announcing a big trip for all the girls. Remember that time she dressed like a kangaroo and told the ladies they were going to Australia? Too cute (or crazy).
Girl-on-Girl Action
Cycle 5 provided more than just drama, but some experimentation, as well. Kim was very open about being a lesbian throughout the season, but it looks like she got Sarah a bit curious, and that's when we all got to witness this amazing makeout session.
Yikes!
Michelle got a surprise visit from some blisters on her face during Cycle 4, and after coming back from the dermotologist, she found out that she was diagnosed with impetigo, not flesh-eating bacteria like all the other girls assumed.
Too Much to Handle
It was a panel just like any other night, except this time, while receiving critiques from the judges, Rebecca collapsed out of nowhere and the paramedics had to come and take her away. Luckily, she was OK.
Bar Brawl
Tiffany was the center of attention again. When the ladies went out for a night of drinking at Barney's Beanery in Los Angeles, another group of females seemed to be annoyed by their presence. Tiffany suggested a dance-off, the other girl had another idea. "Bitch poured beer on my weave," according to Tiffany. And then things popped off.
Fake or Nice?
During Cycle 16, contestants Brittani and Alexandria started going at it during a photo shoot. Clearly, they didn't like each other much, and Nigel Barker just enjoyed the show.
Tutorial Time
Every season, Tyra teaches a new group of girls how to be on top, but during Cycle 9, Banks did something different and actually demonstrated how to do a proper bikini wax. Yes, you read that right, but don't worry, it was fake. When contestant and professional waxer Janet announced, "You gotta get the crack up, you gotta spread the cheeks, and just make sure it's available,'' Tyra offered to be the demo.
Get Down With Yo' Bad Self
During panel, Tyra and Miss Jay showed the girls how to krump—a form of dancing. And yes, it looked a little crazy, but it was still very entertaining to see.
