15 insane things that happened in every season of America's Next Top Model

The show might be coming to an end, but it will always be in our hearts.

LAST NIGHT, TYRA Banks announced that America’s Next Top Model would end after this season.

The show, which has aired since 2003 and ran for 22 seasons, will air its final episode on December 4th.

It’s truly an end of an era for reality television fans, so we decided that we’d round up some our favourite ANTM tropes…

1. The girls would scream with excitement while reading out a pun-filled Tyra Mail about the photo shoot

2. And then spend ages trying to decipher what it means

“She said weapon? Do you think she’s going to make us dress as soldiers?”

3. Every episode would feature somebody who was an “expert” in, like, posing or voguing or walking

Remember Benny Ninja?

4. Tyra would just put on a British accent for absolutely no reason

Usually when introducing Nigel Barker, but often she’d just do it for the hell of it.

5. In fact, Tyra did a lot of accents :|

6. One of the contestants would loudly announce, “I’m not here to make friends!” and it was the highlight of every season

7. Sorry, but remember how stressed out you would be when the girls were on their go sees?

“ASK SOMEONE FOR DIRECTIONS, ANGELEA! YOU CLEARLY CAN’T READ A MAP!”

8. That said, you never knew who the designers actually were

Oh well!

9. At least one contestant would endure intense hair drama

Who can forget Brittany weeping about her monster weave?

Poor Brittany.

10. The photoshoots were, eh, something alright

“Girls, this week we’re taking photos in an abattoir.”

Sure, why not.

11. Every so often, Tyra would eat the head off someone and you’d clap with glee

YOU TELL HER, TYRA.

12. You lived for J. Alexander’s sass

13. And you desperately wanted Jay Manuel to be your friend

Always a source of zen in difficult, trying moments <3

14. Meanwhile, the less said about Tyra’s vocabulary, the better

Remember “smize”? And “booch”? All Tyra creations.

And let’s not speak of “drekitude”.

Stop trying to make drekitude happen, Tyra! It’s not happening!

14. But one thing you could always count on? Tyra uttering this immortal phrase…
