America's Next Top Model fans might've noticed that Tyra behaved a little cool toward fellow judge Nigel Barker last night. She forgot that one of the contestants won a photo shoot with him, and didn't really seem interested in how it went. This flippant attitude might be because she's (allegedly) not liking him so much these days. The Scoop over at MSNBC is reporting that Tyra is not getting along with a majority of the people on the show. According to the article, she's especially peeved with creative director Jay Manuel, who is in charge of all the models' photo shoots.The article goes so far as to suggest that Tyra is going to leave the show in order to focus on her talk show, where she has booked mega guests such as presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
*Hey, look! Us magazine says the rumors are untrue!
If you watch The Soup on E!, you know that Tyra is full of herself. She is a diva, after all. Suggesting that she'd duck out of America's Next Top Model -- her own creation, which has spawned spin-offs in at least 20 other countries -- is a little far-fetched. But, damn. It would be fun to see a little drama from Tyra. Maybe it's time to bitch out another contestant? I think Dominique could use a tongue-lashing.

She can leave, that's fine. I like Nigel and the Jays more than her anyway! But there's no way she's going to leave, I agree that she's way too full of herself to leave "her" show.

I hope she does leave. That show is sooo tired. This seasons the worst. They have run out of things to do-instead leaving us to watch "runway walk and posing 101" a million times. Or hear random things about the girls. The photo shoot with the meat was just so crazy stupid this may be my last season.
As for the flippant attitude towards Nigel-I didn’t see it. All I saw was her blank, teleprompted words coming out of her mouth. With as much sincerity and real emotion as her fake weave on her head. Leave please! Let Nigel, Paullina, and Jay M take over. They add real criticisms and constructive help to the group. And take "Miss J" with you! He is just stupid

I am constantly talking about how much better ANTM would be without Tyra, you can tell she doesnt give a real rip about any of the models, she thinks she is above the rest of the judges, she has already used the show to further her "friends" aka last seasons winner saliesha.
when she shows up and gives the models "advice" i know that the episode is going to blow. remember back in the day when she spent alot of time with them? mentoring them?

She's been alternating between a cartoon and drag queen for a few "cycles" now. Let Paulina and/or Twiggy host instead.

Tyra could be stupidest person walking the earth. Some comatose people could be dumber but for the ambulatory, Tyra's ignorance is unparalleled.

I think Miss Jay should take over the show. His opinion and Nigel's seem most valid to me most of the time. I realize they should have a model's opinion, so Paulina should definitely stay on - she is very blunt and forward which is better than Twiggy who seemed too nice and Paulina has more class in her pinky than Janice has in her whole body.
As to the walking lessons: I believe they want Lauren to go far hence all the walking - she is tall, gorgeous, and quirky in a very likable way. I think that is why they have so many walk lessons this season. Plus, half the girls suck at the runway walk - Lauren more than anyone.

I've seen ANTM, Canada's NTM, Britain's NTM, Australia's NTM and Germany's NTM. ANTM has - by far - the worst host. Even Jay Manuel does a better job.
Suprisingly, Heidi Klum rocks as the host of GNTM. She is interested in every of the girls, does much more interacting with them, is funny and can be harsh. Also, she is not crazy.
