It created a buzz last month when news about the removal of Nigel Barker, J. Alexander and Jay Manuel from America’s Next Top Model came out.
For the Philippines, however, it became an exciting news because it also brought about the talks that Filipino fashion blogger Bryan Boy was being considered as one of the replacements.
After news broke out that Nigel Barker, J. Alexander and Jay Manuel were axed from America’s Next Top Model, we’ve been curious about who Tyra Banks will consider as replacements to the three.
One of the big changes happening to ANTM is allegedly the addition of bloggers and fashion insiders with strong presence on the internet. The move will make the already popular show more visible in social media.
With that comes unconfirmed reports that Filipino fashion blogger Bryan Boy is one of those being considered to be a mentor.
Multi-Media Star Anne Curtis recently did a photo shoot wearing four new creations of Filipino designer Francis Libiran. The photographs are going to be shown in America’s Next Top Model.
Francis Libiran was tapped to do a collection for an ANTM episode, and he picked Anne as the model because according to him, “she represents the perfect Filipina.”
America’s Next Top Model has reportedly done a major “house cleaning” that resulted into three of its regulars being axed from the show.
Runway coach J. Alexander, creative director Jay Manuel and photographer Nigel Barker would reportedly not be seen in Cycle 19 as they were told Thursday that their contracts would not be renewed.
In a press release, the shows executive producers, Tyra Banks and Ken Mok, wrote:
"Nigel Barker, Jay Manuel and J. Alexander have been an integral part of the America’s Next Top Model brand and they helped turn this show into the household name it is today. They have been amazing assets to the show and will always be a part of the ‘Top Model’ family. We will continue to actively work with each of them on future projects.”
Nigel Barker said he wasn’t surprised to hear the news, saying there had been discussions about the show’s rating being down and something like that would happen. He also said he narrowly missed being removed from the show before.
With his being out of ANTM, Nigel said he wants to create his own show that has something to do with photography.
Mr. and Mrs. Jay were yet to comment about the issue.
I wonder who they tapped to replace the three, especially J. Alexander. And would the move improve the show’s ratings?

Georgina Wilson looks so hot in the new Bench Body ad for the model and the brand's stint on America's Next Top Model Cycle 17 semi-finals.
Bench is ANTM's clothing sponsor for its semi-finals where the model contestants of the reality show had to model Bench Body underwear. Georgina was there as a model/stylist and she was the one who told the girls what to do for their semi-finals challenge. The episode was shot in Greece.
Earlier in the same season, ANTM featured Hollywood-based Filipino designer Oliver Tolentino. Perhaps the high ratings of the show in the country paved the way for the Pinoy designer, and now one of the top clothing brands, to be featured in the show.
The ANTM episode with Bench and Georgina Wilson will be aired in the Philippines on November 14, 2011, 8-9 PM, on ETC.

Filipino fashion designer Oliver Tolentino was chosen as a featured designer in the hit reality show America's Next Top Model.
Hollywood-based Oliver Tolentino is known for using indigenous materials in his creations. His pieces were chosen to be worn by the show's contestants in their "Fierce and Parade Fashion Show."
Tolentino's couture gowns were also worn by some contestants in the show's previous episode.
Michael Cinco was the first Pinoy designer to be featured by America's Next Top Model. Perhaps the high ratings of the show in the country somehow paved the way for Filipino designers to be featured.
