If you're anything like me, you've probably wondered what a cycle of America's Next Top Model would be like sans Twiggy on the judges panel.
In fact, I'd be willing to bet that at least 99% of you suffer from insomnia because you toss and turn every night pondering the implications of this very thought.
Well you can rip the Ambien prescription to shreds people because I've got some incredible news! Due to a conflict in her schedule, the fashion icon will not be featured on the show's next cycle.
I for one am thankful to hear this news. I've lost many a night's sleep wondering what the show would be like without Twiggy's inimitable wit, her cuddly British accent, and all of her fashion iconic goodness in general. After all these years I'm happy that I will finally find out if the show would crumble without Twiggy there to prop it up.
Wait, what's that you say? Twiggy wasn't even on America's Next Top Model until the show's fifth cycle? I'm the only one who's losing sleep wondering what the show would be like without her? I'm not a really a true fan of the show because I didn't start watching until cycle 7? You people cut me deep.
Twiggy will be replaced by Paulina Porizkova, a world renowned supermodel who has been on People Magazine's Fifty Most Beautiful People list on two occasions. You may also recognize her as a contestant on season four of Dancing With the Stars.
Ultimately, I just hope Paulina brings her A game. She's got some big shoes to fill - not literally of course. How big could Twiggy's feet really be?

yeah so am i the only one who refuses to watch ANTM solely because they refer to seasons as cycles.
Well maybe thats not the only reason (tyra, girls that arent attractive, girls that are stuck up and b!#%*y, tyra again) but it still really bothers me.
-------------------
that and the "due to a scheduling conflict..." statement really was placed weird.

Since Twiggy is still trying to fill Janice Dickinson's shoes, I hope Paulina will be a success.
(And that's not because I had a Washington Monument sized crush on her back in the mid 80s.)

Nice! I've had a crush on Paulina since the 84 SI swimsuit issue. I was about 9 years old. She looks even better now than she did then.

I have never cared for Twiggy..I have watched the show since the beginning and there will never be another Janice Dickinson..With her leaving the show hasn't been the same..Most people have never heard of Twiggy..Her along with Tyra make a complete ass of themselves..Twiggy is always lost she never know what Tyra and others are talking about..I wish she would leave and not ever returned..Bring Janice back..

Janice has her own show on the Oxygen Network. It is called Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency... Why would she want to back to ANTM ?????

Hey JJ....just so you know, I for one don't find you even remotely amusing, sardonic, witty, or that skilled of a writer. I'm sure you won't lose any sleep over this comment either, but I felt the need to share, much like you apparently needed to share your personal feelings on the scheduling change for cycle 10.

Now if they would only get rid of that homely Miss Jaye, the show might really take off. S/he's not attractive as a man or a woman.

I had to re-read this three times because the writing was so poor. I can't believe that this is a real article for AOL, I mean I know it's not people.com, or Perez Hilton, but come on! I'm expecting a baby soon, and will have some time on my hands with maternity leave- can I have this gig?? I promise I could do a heck of a lot better!

At least Twiggy had her own natural beauty going for her, not like the too many face lifts, "Mommy, mommy my pigtails are too tight" look of Janice Dickenson!! Paulina also has that natural beauty look, she'll do fine!

Paulina will be a welcome replacement since she is truly in the "supermodel" genre and she has a great sense of humor. It will be nice to have a judge who is highly experienced and still beautiful (at 42 she'll give Tyra a run for her money). She will match Tyra in her level-headed approach to modeling: it is not heart surgery.

Jeanice was not the natural and classic judge on ANTM,yes she was a bit overboard on critics with tyra's girls but let's face it! modeling is not just a cover girl add and a reality show you got a very ugly side of it and you deal with even worst artificials peoples.Jeanice was to me a real model with years of experiences,replacing her with Twiggy who had just been a trendy season model for a short periode of time at being at the right place at the right momment. Ok Paulina will fit the place very well too! but will ANTM cycle 10 winner will be a real supermodel doing editorial's and internationnal fashion's runaway's after one year...
TYYYYYYYYYra mail! strike a pose,cycle 10 his on it's way!
Montréal ANTM fan.
