[edit] Merge

I thought this page was protected after it was deleted a few weeks ago. What happened? SKS2K6 09:12, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Keep

The show will be airing within two months on US National Television. And the Tyra Banks picture leaked can be backed up from reliable sources citing that it is in Australia. And certainly more details will be coming out in upcoming weeks to promote the show. Darlabear 08:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the Australia leak, now that we have the episode titles, it's kind of hard to deny that they're headed "Down Under". :o) Just wanted to point that out. SkittlzAnKomboz 21:32, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Definitely keep. The cycle will start in February, so just keep the page. We should be getting more info soon anyways. 04:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Contestants

Where are the refs for them? SKS2K6 06:26, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Episodes' presentation

Has anyone noticed that there is no coherent presentation and style for the articles of the entire franchise, as there is no uniform layout for each cycle?

I think we should follow the flow of the second cycle. I quite like the fact that it makes of a more coherent picture of the dynamics of the show, as well as highlighting the personalities, aspirations of the contestants. Ohconfucius 04:20, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I beg to differ. I think cycle 2 focusses too much on the contestants and not the show itself. I think the recent cycles like cycle 6 and cycle 7 are better because they give a summary of every week's episode, on top of all the other inclusions that give it a nice overall layout. ZephyrWind

I think they focus on giving each girl their own different setting on the photoshoot. I liked it better when they all did they same thing not them doing a school cliques photoshoot with one being a flirty girl and one being mean girl etc.

[edit] Revealing winner

I don't know if it's accurate or not, but I think that the chart showing the winner of this cycle should be removed. The cycle hasn't even begun airing yet. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 149.159.106.41 (talk) 22:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC).

  • Right now, it's only a template! <scratches head> There's no info, so cannot be accurate or not. People can fill in the information as the show progresses! Ohconfucius 02:16, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
He's talking about when the table had the contestants' names in a non-alphabetical order. SKS2K6 02:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Ultimately, I think we should be pretty vigilant about keeping the chart clean. I've visited this page multiple times to find bogus information filled into the chart. Otherwise, timing has been fine.Ifalna 07:18, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not the First Cycle with 2 plus sizes

Cycle 1 had 2 Tessa and Robin —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.37.247.127 (talk) 05:52, 25 February 2007 (UTC). Tessa was curvy, not plus-sized. KyrieSanctus 03:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes. I don't think Tessa was above a size 12, however. According to ANTM guidelines, a woman must be over size 12 to be considered plus-size, which is confirmed by Sarah's comments during the premiere episode. Ifalna 07:16, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eliminated Contestant

Someone had a completely fabricated bottom 2 and eliminated model up in the summary. I fixed it. KyrieSanctus 03:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Coul ppl stop puting names on the contestants who are in the botton 2 or the featured photographer and guest how do the know that! Lemus07 01:31, 3 March 2007

March 21st - featured photographer was Mike Rosenthal. Rennah7 01:42, 22 March 2007 (UTC) This should NOT link here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Rosenthal Different Mike Rosenthal, apparently. Rennah7 02:00, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blank Grid is not crystal balling

I've replaced the blank grid. I hope we can agree that a blank chart to be filled-in as the show progresses isn't crystal balling. -- Mikeblas 00:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First time no girls cried

Should it be added somwhere that this is the First season none of the girls cried because they didn't like they're new hairdo? Jael only cried because of the time it took to do her hair and then to take it out again & Brittany cried because it hurt! Tommy22028 01:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Cycle Statisics? Coderster 03:10, 15 March 2007 (UTC)


Yes...even in Show Statisics on ANTM's main page. Tommy22028 19:26, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I say no. No one will care about who cried on ANTM 10 years from now.THE evil fluffyface 00:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Naming in Photograph

The naming in the photo is incorrect. Felicia is called Jaslene, and Felicia is the one sitting on the floor. Oh, and Jaslene is called Natasha; Natasha is not the one on the floor. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.136.181.21 (talk) 20:12, 23 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Cycle Statistics

I don't think we should list Jaslene's height as 5'7" as she hasn't confirmed it herself and neither has it been confirmed on-screen. However, by watching the show, she indeed appears to be the shortest of the group.


Samantha was actually the youngest...

[edit] Cycle 8 "Tyra's Call Out's"

I noticed one day that the call out box has been edited, I'm not entirely sure that this is the right call outs as it i's heading into week 8 when we are only at week 6, these may be false call outs, if so, it should be deleted, which I have tried to do, but having dificulties doing.

Someone keeps on messing with callouts by putting things in the spots where we havent even seen yet even they are correct they dont need to be put up there

[edit] Contestants' surnames

See also talk page of series

These have appeared for all contestants, but there's as yet no source..... How do we know how accurate this information is? Many of these have been inserted by IP editors, of which some have been accused of vandalism, and thus I deem potentially highly unreliable. All surnames have been removed for the moment. Kindly source adequately Ohconfucius 03:21, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Some editors insist on making changes to the contestants' surnames without telling us where they got this information from. The surnames in the article now agree with the source once again. Any changes to those in the article should be properly and adequately sourced. Ohconfucius 10:22, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
  • That poptower website must have gotten their surname information from here. Cassandra's last name is Watson yet they still list her as Laing. They still list Renee's as DeWitt even though somebody here admitted that they just made it up. People keep listing Brittany's as Carrigher when a yearbook photo has shown that it is Hatch. Not to mention the website does not have a name for Felicia, nor does Wikipedia. Also, it still lists Jade and Danielle from Cycle 6 as Jade Roda and Danielle Mahoney. They are actually Jade Cole and Danielle Evans. That source is not reliable. 4.241.33.159 18:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • In the absence of reliable sources for surnames, they have once again been removed. Editors here have admitted to making these names up, or relied on grapevine sources. In addition, the discussions both here and on the main series' talk page indicate that neither poptower nor realityworld.com are reliable, as they appear to have taken the surnames from wikipedia. Using these, therefore would fail WP:SELF and also violate WP:A. I ask editors NOT TO REINSTATE these unless their surnames are sourced such from, say, mainstream media articles.
