11th - Cycle 1 (2003)

Just shy of a spot in the top 10 is the OG cycle, cycle 1. Eventhough it was the very first season, its part of the reason the show went on to have so much success worldwide. The cast were iconic, we had Adrianne, Elyse, Ebony, Giselle, Shannon and the legendary Robin!



After 8 girls were chosen during casting, Tyra brought 2 new girls, Giselle and Tessa into the competition shortly after. Tessa didn't last long as she was the first girl to be eliminated after not even a whole episode. The cycle 1 judging room was a mess, they had a church hall looking table covered in a cloth, with some ugly navy blue curtains draped around the room. Tyra, Kimora, Janice and some other guy were crammed shoulder to shoulder on that tiny table for the entire season.

The panel of course being one of the most iconic things about ANTM, whoever decided to hire Janice clearly knew what they were doing, her critiques were always amazing



One of the biggest screams was Ebony (who already had basically no hair) complaining about her makeover which barely looked any different the hair stylists kept making jokes about writing their names in her hair and Ebony was not gonna let that go!



Then we had Robin, who remains one of the most iconic girls from the show. She was constantly causing fumes in the house, even on day one she started with Adrianne and Tessa for smoking inside the house. She had made friends with the fellow christian girls Kesse and Shannon and it often became those three (especially Robin) against Ebony, Adrianne and Elyse. She even showed Elyse the bible quote about how foolish being an atheist was. One of the best moments came when Ebony decided to hide a Tyra Mail from the other girls and when Robin found out she decided to hold an exorcism to get rid of the demons in the apartment



This was the final straw for Elyse who went to the confessional to go off on most of the girls (and even Miss J). My personal favourite was her quote for Giselle, "Giselle.. you're worthless, your parents must be ashamed of you"



When the final 5 went to Paris, they had to do go-sees and travel around central Paris using only a paper map. Robin decided to pay a French man to escort her around the city meanwhile Adrianne got touched up by a pervert.. a messy first go-sees that would lead to many more..

Another of the most iconic moments came when Robin and Shannon refused to take part in the final 4 photoshoot which involved them getting semi-naked because it was against their beliefs, but Mr Jay and tyra both called out Robin and said they'd seen her open her gown and shake her tits at Mr Jay Robin was adamant that she didn't do this "I dont know whether they...shook". Janice also quipped in with "where was your bible when you were shaking your titties?"



Eventually Adrianne and Shannon were the final 2 and Adrianne deservedly won, we all kinda knew once Elyse had gone and after Shannon had refused to do the nude shoot that Adrianne was going to take the win. This then led to the still on going feud between her and Tyra after she didn't receive any of her prizes for winning. After a brief appearance on cycle 2, Adrianne never returned and was never mentioned or referenced on the show again.

Cycle ranking:
7/10
