AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL

In the 24th Cycle premiere of AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL, super model Tyra Banks returns as host and is ready to take the season to the next level. A group of 26 models begin their fight to the top, but only 14 make the first cut.

In this episode, 15 women fight for the chance to become the next top model. The models will experience their first challenge and deliberation and they will battle it out for their chance to be at the top, but only 14 will move on.

Tyra surprises the girls with their individual Ty-overs, but little do they know that these will later be used in a challenge. As the girls prepare for their Ty-over's, Christina initiates tension with Sandra and Brendi K is caught in the crossfire.

This week is particularly difficult for some of the models, who struggle with acting and must get out of their comfort zone, using it in their shoot. Tensions in the house are building up and this episode reveals a shocker in the end.

The models are visited by Ashley Graham to talk about unconventional beauty and how fashion is evolving and embracing different skin tones, genders and body types. She encourages the models to embrace and show off their unconventional beauty traits!

The models arrive in West Hollywood and are greeted by judge Law Roach who introduces them to their challenge, a popup runway show. The model who brings her "A" game to the runway will walk in Christian Cowan's show at New York Fashion Week.

The models get raw and real. The episode starts with a special visit from Tyra herself and helps the girls bare it all with a 'hands' on photoshoot. Tyra reveals that the girls will be stripped and raw but NOT naked.

The models get social media that is. With the help of Tyra and high fashion model and designer, Jourdan Dunn, the girls learn how to use social media to take their individual brands to the next level.

The girls are on the move. Fresh off her win at panel, Kyla feels the pressure to keep delivering. For their first challenge, Judge Ashley Graham has the contestants make some moves with artistic director and choreographer Jermaine Browne.

This week, things start to get real. Image architect and coach, Law Roach, makes a surprise visit to review the models walks, talks, and style before sending them out on their first real castings.

The models put their personalities to the test when they are asked to create a virtual avatar of themselves for the mobile game. The winner will not only be featured on the mobile app but will also be styled by Law Roach at one of LA's top showrooms.

This week is throwback week and fans voted for their favorite challenge for the top four to recreate. Their challenge is a fierce throwback to Cycle 16, The Bubble Runway. Models will have to walk down the runway while they are in a clear bubble.

In this week's challenge, Models think it's a carnival, but when they arrive on set, they see Pantene products along with a variety of props. Their challenge is to shoot a fun and creative campaign using props while promoting their Pantene product.

It's the final countdown to next level fierce and soon the winner will be revealed. Picking up right where panel left off, the remaining four go straight into their fitting with renowned fashion designer Phillip Plein.

This season of America's Next Top Model redefined the definition of beauty and this special highlight all that comes with it. Behind the Beauty shines the spotlight on the final five competitors of Cycle 24 and their quests for the crown.
