This week on Caviar and Criminals, Dana is still battling whatever plague has taken her down, so we’re revisiting one of our most iconic deep dives: America’s Next Top Model.
With Netflix’s explosive new documentary Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model reigniting conversations about the show’s legacy, we thought now was the perfect time to bring this episode back. From toxic challenges and psychological manipulation to the power dynamics that shaped an entire generation of reality TV, this re-release hits even harder in hindsight.
We break down what ANTM sold us, what was really happening behind the scenes, and why so many former contestants are finally being heard. Some things haven’t aged well. Some things were alarming even at the time. And one thing remains unchanged — Tyra Banks is still a monster.
We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled chaos next week with all-new episodes. And if you have a scandal story you’ve been dying to tell, we want to hear it. DM us or email team@caviarandcriminals.com — your story might make it onto the show.
Welcome back to the mess.
