America's Next Top Model ANTM
America's Next Top Model, Cycle 11 was the eleventh cycle of the reality series America's Next Top Model created by supermodel and television personality Tyra Banks. This was the fifth season to be aired on The CW network. The promotional catchphrase of this cycle is "Feel The Love".[1] Approximately the first half of the competition took place in Los Angeles, moving the show back from New York City where it was held last season. The international destination for the final episodes of the cycle was Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The show featured fourteen contestants, similar to cycles 3, 4 and 10. The winner of this cycle, similar to the past four cycles, won management and representation by Elite Model Management, a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics, and the cover and six-page fashion spread in Seventeen.
This cycle included a first for the series - having a transgender contestant named Isis King participate and qualify for the final fourteen. The inclusion has been noted as an "unprecedented opportunity" by Neil Giuliano, president of GLAAD, a national LGBT media advocacy group.[2]
The winner was 19-year-old McKey Sullivan, from Lake Forest, Illinois.
Cycle 11 Ep 01-02 Summary
The Notorious Fierce Fourteen
The 33 semifinalists were driven to San Fernando Valley, California, where they met Alpha J and Beta J (Jay Manuel and Miss J.) at the fictitious “Top Model Institute of Technology”. Inside, they went through a series of reviews and catwalk analysis. Later, Tyra-bot (Tyra Banks) met the contestants and individual interviews began. In between, Isis revealed that she was transgender, surprising some of the other contestants. Twenty of those vying continued and they took part in the first photo shoot – posing in metallic blue catsuits. After final deliberations, fourteen contestants were chosen.
Top Model Inauguration
The fourteen finalists were driven to their homebase loft in Los Angeles, California. The contestants asked Isis questions regarding her gender transition, drawing both empathy and disdain. The next day, they visited Magic Castle, a private club for magicians, where judges Nigel Barker, Paulina Porizkova and the Jays conducted one-to-one interviews with the contestants. The photo shoot theme was voting was sexy, with each model portraying a political issue:
Contestant Political Issue
Analeigh Healthcare
Brittany Military
Clark Bureaucracy
Elina Foreign Policy
Hannah Nuclear Weapons
Isis Privacy
Joslyn Unemployment
Lauren Brie Education
Marjorie Immigration
McKey Environment
Nikeysha Cloning
Samantha Economy
ShaRaun Homeland Security
Sheena Energy
During panel, Marjorie's picture received tremendous praise. Isis, McKey, Joslyn and Elina also received unanimous praise for their photos. Analeigh, Hannah, Clark and Lauren Brie were criticized about their weak photos and not finding the right light source. During the elimination process, a new twist is revealed - whoever was called first would have her picture displayed as digital art in the house for the whole week, and the first honor went to Marjorie. The judges were unimpressed with ShaRaun’s photo, interview and over-the-top personality, and were put off by Nikeysha’s excuses, landing them in the bottom two, but it was ShaRaun’s lack of potential that sent her home.
* Bottom two: Nikeysha Clarke & ShaRaun Brown

* Featured photographer: Mike Rosenthal
* Special guests: Ed Alonzo, Christian Marc, Sutan
