America's Next Top Model
Critique
The fashion magazine Allure already criticized in October 2006 that the show had not yet produced a supermodel.
Ken Mok and Tyra Banks noted the heavy smoking in season eight. Mok said he was aware of the show's influence on young viewers. In the next, ninth cycle, the contestants were banned from smoking and the photo shoots dealt more with health and environmental issues.
After the tenth season ended, the show's producers received a lawsuit from Michael Marvisi, the owner of this season's modeling house. The contestants and production crew allegedly left behind damage of about $500,000. In addition to leftover food, holes were reportedly found in the walls; $90,000 worth of water and electronic damage was also caused. The production team had damaged the ceilings of the rooms in order to install spotlights and cameras.
The 19-year-old winner of the Relay 15 in 2010, Ann Ward, is only 45 kg at a height of 1.88 metres. This corresponds to a body mass index (BMI) of 12.7. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification, a BMI below 16 is classified as severe underweight. This level is considered to be very concerning from a health perspective, and in photos Ann Ward appears anorexic. In some episodes, Ward was seen preparing very greasy dishes, such as deep-fried Oreo cookies. Despite continued fierce protests in the run-up, Ann was declared the winner.
