With 22 cycles of America's Next Top Model under her designer belt, Tyra Banks has definitely had her fair share of glorious moments, from the first smize to last year's final Ty-overs (not to mention how she unflinchingly reinvents the English language in new ways each cycle).
Below, our picks for the most epically, well, Tyra moments in Antm history.
9. When Tyra shut down Denzel's homophobia in cycle 21.
After bad boy Denzel Wells proclaimed he would be embarrassed to lose the competition to a "dude who wears heels" (i.e. competitor Will Jardell), Tyra quickly took him down, making it...

America's Next Top Model has ended another Cycle and there's not much to report. Other than the announcement that next season's heading to New Zealand, we don't have a lot of news on the show. As for the models, we've heard some stuff here and there, notably about Cycle 12's Celia Ammerman and Aminat Ayinde.
Along with winner Teyona and runner-up Allison, they became Cycle 12's final four and at least deserve some recognition. Anyway, they revealed their current hang-ups to Out.com, in addition to some comments regarding the show they've been on.

After America's Next Top Model crowned Teyona Anderson as its 12th cycle winner on Wednesday, TVGuide.com caught up with the New Jersey native to get the scoop on what it was like getting greased up to writhe around on the final runway — and to lose her fake hair in the middle of it! Plus: Find out what the 20-year-old had to say about the Celia catfight and what's next for her.
TVGuide.com: Congratulations! What was going through your head during that final runway walk-off?
Teyona Anderson: The only thing I was thinking going down the catwalk was, "Teyona, don't fall!" Other than that, I kept thinking, "Teyona, it's in your hand right now, but it's so easy to lose, so focus and do your hardest and try your best."
TVGuide.com: How about the final leg of runway where you guys got greased up and started writhing around on the catwalk?...

Even though Tyra Banks said see ya to Celia Ammerman last night on America's Next Top Model because she thought she was too old to make it to the top, age doesn't seem to be hindering the 25-year-old Kentucky gal one bit. "It doesn't seem to be hurting me at the moment. There is life after Antm if you're older than 25," Celia says. She's right about that. Celia was late phoning us today because she was wrapping up her photo shoot for the New York Post. Check this Sunday's Style section for her Post debut. So how did she feel about Tyra telling her to go into fashion or styling instead of modeling? "[That] is really sweet, and I would love to do those things as...

With Celia being the latest kicked-out contestant of "America's Next Top Model", three remain to steal the crown next week. Aminat, Allison and Teyona will face the CoverGirl challenge in the finale and only two will strut their moves in the show's "most provocative" runways.
On the Wednesday, May 6 episode, Celia was in the bottom two along with Aminat. The judges were complaining of Celia's old look which could be a problem when she has to do the cover for Seventeen magazine. So they admitted Aminat in, with the warning that she has got to work it in the photo shoots.
The finale for the 12th cycle will air on Wednesday, May 13. They have to complete their CoverGirl commercial before one is eliminated. Then, the two finalists shoot their Seventeen magazine cover, and show the judges their fiercest moves when they, literally, crawl down the final runway.

Allison. Oh, queen of the sea. “The judges see one face week after week after week," Tyra has said. According to Celia, all Allison needs to do is think about sex. Do anchovies have sex? Can someone look that up for me while I continue recapping Wednesday's (April 15) episode of "America's Next Top Model"? [Recap after the break...] There are only seven girls left now that sad sack Tahlia has gone home. She was a burn victim, yes, but she sure wasn’t a model. She would have crumpled under this next challenge: a South Pole Juniors-sponsored shoot in which the...

One more girl is sent home on "America's Next Top Model". Sandra was the last to be called in the judging room, after standing side by side to Celia. Tyra Banks reasoned that Sandra has been taking "profile shots" all throughout the competition and the last one was not that great.
Sandra, not a favorite within her mates, was hugged on her way out and Tyra advised her to work on the poses. The 19-year-old was mad that she was sent home and vowed to keep modeling after the show because she believed she has a personality.
In the sixth week, the girls were challenged by making expressions with their faces. Jay Manuel brought his friend Beth Stern to guide the models in this session. Sandra in particular did not impress Jay who thought that she was falling out of the competition. Natalia won the challenge and she got an...

Hey, let’s make a bet. I’ll bet you a $100,000 contract with Cover Girl that Celia gets clobbered by another contestant on this here upcoming episode of "America's Next Top Model." Wishful thinking? Of course not! Celia is like a wispy little Coddington fairy who looks like she could get crushed by a banana leaf. I wouldn’t wish that uneven fight on my worst enemy’s dog! Then again, the last four episodes of "Antm" Cycle 12 have teetered awfully close to boring. If it takes sacrificing Celia to the throat-chewing bitchiness of, say, a Sandra, well, sorry, li’l fairy. Nice knowing...
