America's Next Top Model, Cycle 14 is the fourteenth cycle of America's Next Top Model and the eighth season to be aired on The CW network. The original premiere date was March 3, 2010, but was postponed to March 10. This cycle's catch phrase is "Work It Out". The promotional song is "Watch Me Move" by Fefe Dobson.

The winner will receive management and representation by Wilhelmina Models, a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics and a cover and six-page spread within Seventeen magazine. There has been a change in the judging panel - J. Alexander has been removed of his post as a judge, but still remains as the runway coach. He is replaced by Vogue editor-at-large André Leon Talley.

This cycle has returned to featuring girls within the standard heights of the modeling industry (5'7" and taller), unlike the previous cycle. In addition, Cycle 14 takes place in New York City, having been set in Los Angeles for Cycle 13. Auckland, New Zealand was announced as the overseas destination.^[2]

Episode Summaries

Be My Friend, Tyra!

First Aired: Mar 10, 2010

The fourteenth season begins with 32 models vying for 14 spots. The contestants are asked to create a social networking-styled profile, including a profile photo and a video of their walk. A final picture requires them to take inspiration from current and past top models. Gabrielle impresses Mr. Jay with her knowledge of the industry, while Tatianna is castigated for electing to emulate an actress (Megan Fox) rather than a model. When decision time dawns, Tyra reveals that only 12 had been selected, and they would travel to New York City where they will meet the thirteenth contestant.

Upon arrival, they meet Perez Hilton and begin a tour of the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. Later, they are introduced to Ren, who had been scouted by Tyra and the production staff. Makeovers are administered shortly after. Anslee and Brenda are upset to have their hair cut short; Krista is unhappy that her hair is slicked back.

The girls move into their house and disagreements erupt between many girls. They are then taken to their first photo shoot, where it is revealed that each will be posing nude aside from one article of clothing. At this point, the credits roll.
