ANTM heads to JAMAICA

July 16th, 2012 | By

Tyra Banks is adding some island flavor to her ongoing reality series.  The supermodel turned talk show host landed in Jamaica last week to film footage for the 19th cycle of America’s Next Top Model (ANTM).

Organizers of the reality show chose Kingston as the international destination where contestants of America’s Next Top Model Cycle 19: College Edition will gather later this season.  Banks arrived in Jamaica last week and filmed material for the upcoming series.

The new season of America’s Next Top Model features 13 college students competing for a career-launching prize package which includes a Nylon Magazine fashion spread, a contract with LA/NY models, being named the face of the Dream Come True perfume line as well as US$100,000 in cash.

For the first time, viewers of ANTM will have the opportunity to decide which girls advance or get sent home through online voting.

Judges of the show will then review the viewer feedback and make their decisions about who will ultimately stay and who will go.
