Tyra Banks' 'America's Next Top Model' Cycle 20 Premieres on CW: Guys Vs. Girls, Casting News

Tyra Banks premieres the 20^th cycle of 'America's Next Top Model' on CW in a 2-hour special and with a new twist on the usual casting. This season, Banks and her crew of fabulous judges handpicked 8 men and 8 women, an ANTM first, to compete against one another for the title.

35 sexy semi-finalists participated in a fashion show that determined who would make it to round two. Then in an over-the-top photo shoot, random passersby helped pick what contestants were eliminated, bringing the group down to the final 16 that will compete this season.

The celebrity panel of includes returning judges author and owner of People's Revolution, Kelly Cutrone and supermodel Rob Evans. Social media correspondent, BryanBoy and fashion and creative stylist Johnny Wujek, are both also back for the high fashion fun.

Banks may be onto something here with adding more fuel to the highly dramatic series. Past cast members do not always get along, so it will be interesting to see the dynamic between the guys and girls in the house this season. The challenges may also be tougher this season because of addition of men to the competition. The women may have to step up their game to go face to face with the statuesque models. Leaving room for more drama, sexual tension and good television.

This season's grand prizewinner will receive, a $100,000 Guess ad campaign, a fashion feature in Nylon magazine and a modeling contract with Next Model Management.
