‘America's Next Top Model’ Season 21: New Cycle Mixes Up Boys And Girls As Tyra Banks’ Models Travel To South Korea [VIDEO]
America's Next Top Model Season 21 isn't coming back until the end of the summer, but new hints are starting to emerge about Tyra Banks' veteran CW reality competition show.
First Vitiligo Contestant To Be On ANTM
For one, J. Alexander will be back! Following a brief break after ANTM cleaned house, J. Alexander will return as a judge, replacing Rob Evans after two seasons. Joining him will be publicist Kelly Cutrone and of course, Banks.
This season, ANTM will once again feature men and women in the competition. Although no man has won America's Next Top Model yet, anything is possible with Season 21.
Why Did Tyra Banks Bring J. Alexander Back?
And where will they be heading to this season? Seoul, South Korea. According to Buddy TV, fans were quick to realize that Banks was filming her hit show in their home country. South Korean fans have been watching America's Next Top Model, which has reportedly been airing side-by-side with its Korean version, Korea's Next Top Model.
Another change? Fashion blogger BryanBoy will no longer be on the show. Last season, the blogger gave the models social networking scores, which according to fans weren't really necessary. No report on whether Banks will be replacing him or changing this aspect up completely.
Banks is even busier now that Disney announced the supermodel will be returning to daytime television. Banks' successful talk show The Tyra Banks Show ran from 2005-2010. Her new one is set to launch next year.
America's Next Top Model Cycle 21 comes back on Friday, August 22 at 9pm ET on The CW.
