America's Next Top Model: College Edition

Season 19 of Tyra Banks' America's Next Top Model kicks off tonight with new prizes and an all new theme...College. This season, the fans will be able to vote on their favorite picutres/models on-line and on their mobile phones.  The fan votes will then be added to the scores given by the judges, and both will play a role in determining who goes home each week, and who will ultimately win the title of America's Next Top Model.

The show will provide all new prizes this season.  The life altering prize pack includes:

• A fashion feature in Nylon Magazine;
• $100,000 cash prize;
• Campaigns with Nine West and Smashbox Cosmetics;
• A modeling contract with LA/NY Models; and
• Being named the face of America's Next Top Model perfume, Dream Come True.

Cycle 19 also brings with it a new judge to the fashinable panel.  Joining Tyra Banks and Kelly Cutrone will be former boxer and international male model, Rob Evans.  This will be the first time the judges panel will feature a male model.  This is sure to add some spice to the judges panel each week.

The newest cycle of AMNT will also include a social medial correspondent, Brandyboy.  This will create a more personal element between the show and its viewers.  Brandyboy will show videos from fans during the show, while mentoring the models along the way.

All new prizes, a hot new judge and a new element involving the fans in the process of finding America's Next Top Model.  It is hard to avoid the fact that the creators/producers are clearly attempting to re-vamp the show and hopefully bring in higher ratings.  Will you be tuning in?
