Cycle 1, Episode 7: Robin's Jiggle Shimmy

We've arrived at the infamous nude shoot of Cycle One, when Robin and Shannon unite to stand down Satan (aka, Jay Manuel) and refuse to shoot naked (aka, with a skimpy band covering their lady parts). Honestly, we don't blame them, but we do judge them — because that's what this podcast is about! Plus, a challenge that feels mysteriously like an escort situation as the models take four French men out for a night on the town — at least, Adrianne, Elyse and Shannon do. Robin's at Bible study. And,...

Cycle 1, Episode 6: Shannon's Awakening

The models are in Paris! And so is Brad Pinkert. Oh, Brad Pinkert. That spiky hair, those perfect pecs, that vaguely European accent... wait, this dude is from Buffalo, New York? Well, wherever Brad came from, Shannon's feeling things when he shows up at the models' lingerie photo shoot. We discuss their lukewarm flirtationship at length. Plus, the girls go on a merry jaunt through Paris — or at least that's what Keese thinks it is. Really, it's go-see game time. Find this week's photos on Insta...

Cycle 1, Episode 5: Giselle's Curse

It's an episode of surprising guest stars as the models get a visit from a suspicious publicist, a "working member of the press" who turns out to be #VanLifer, Elyse's famous boyfriend, and Adrianne's mom... who inexplicably calls her daughter Chewbacca. You may notice some audio problems on Danielle's side. We recommend listening without headphones. As always, follow us on Instagram: @topmodelrewind

Cycle One, Episode 4: Ebony's Greasegate

Alex and Danielle walk you through Ebony's no good, very bad week. First, she has to deal with immature models who don't clean (Giselle), then she has to fend off homophobes (Robin and Shannon). At the end, our girl can't even say "water" properly. The models also have a "badonkadonk"-off and the camera guy gets a little too excited. Plus, the lamest video shoot ever! Enjoy the episode, but please also continue to donate to Black causes. May we recommend the Black Journalism Fund: https://www.lo...

Cycle 1, Episode 3: Adrianne's Beefy Snake

Alex relives her childhood trauma as the models pose with snakes! Plus, the show's first round of makeovers, which are surprisingly tame. (But the girls complain anyway, of course). Nicole, meanwhile, deals with the worst boyfriend ever, and we check in on their current relationship status. On a serious note, we hope this episode provides you with a brief mental break as the country comes to terms with its history of racial injustice. After you're done, please consider donating to your local bai...

Cycle 1, Episode 2: Elyse's Burn Book

The facade falls off and the girls go from being friendly to realizing that they're fundamentally different people and could never get along (as is the Top Model way). Specifically, Else gets snarky to camera about, well, everyone, and Ebony finds out that Robbynne thinks she's infested by demons. Plus, the girls are surprisingly good at runway, and they pose for a... men's electronics magazine? Follow us on Instagram @topmodelrewind. (We abandoned that blog idea.)

Cycle 1, Episode 1: Shannon's Leather Face

Alex and Danielle thought they were starting an America's Next Top Model recap podcast, but this show is unrecognizable! Where's the Tyra narcissism? Why aren't the Jays there? We don't know, but it's somehow... better? If you like what you hear in those ears, give us a review and subscribe. Follow us on Instagram: @topmodelrewind Theme song and podcast art by Aaron Long.
