Breaking News: Nigel Barker, Miss Jay and Jay Manuel axed from Top Model

[Erutan]

Nigel fired
Mr Jay and Ms J fired

LOL @ Kween Angelea being one of the reasons the show is dying.

[makisecon]

oh, I feel empty somehow, but that could mean that Tyra would recruit bigger names and send this show beyond the sky. Remember that she said she looked for that something that made C01 so magical... Propably, it' s Nigel' s absence?

[Yorkie Dane]

Wow... It'll be weird without Mr. Jay.

[backtostar]

:-(

[FalconFX]

Wow...

Tyra dumping Nigel was something long needed... But taking out both Jay Manuel and J Alexander is like asking for it. Those two alone hold a huge sway with audiences. What's worse, it's a move that was based on Cutrone. Cutrone is one of the biggest reasons why people got turned off to the show this cycle.

If Tyra really wants to try to clean house, she needs to reboot the show from the ground up. Challenge changes, shoot idea changes, location double-ups, prize exclusivity, industry guests instead of lame duck celebrity guests, shot selection changes, ditching fake reality-TV notes for actual modeling....... Things of that nature all can be done without dumping everyone.

Unfortunately, the buck stops with Tyra...

This is essentially a last ditch, defibrillator reaction. If C19 tanks again in viewership, it's over...

haha cool

Miss Jay???
Bye, Nigel :D

Sadly the next cycle of this show won't be the same since those "key" judges leave already. What will happen to ANTM's future?

[Rikku]

This could be a huge turning point for the show, maybe Kelly being on the panel was for the greater good if she convinces Tyra to take the show in a serious direction.

Hmm you maybe right, Maybe the show will become more modelling focused.

Hmm you maybe right, Maybe the show will become more modelling focused.

Their reputation is beyond repair, not even partnering up with Vogue Italia could give the show an ounce of credibility. I sincerely doubt Tyra will drop her smize and tooch rubbish, or her opportunity to plug her side projects.

Covergirl is still around and will continue to pick out girls who have sap stories and platforms to support their cause of the week.

I only watched clips and stuff from this cycle but man, that's wow. Maybe it really is the end for ANTM.....

[gleek]

I love changes! I hope they find great repacements though that is relevant to fashion.

[KiwiInJapan]

Oh lawd. Better to drop Tyra. What made cycle 1 magic is that it was majority about modelling and hardly any Tyra-crapisms

[dylanpartyon]

Can't we have a complete renewal, get rid of Trya and Kelly aswell, if you are gonna get rid of the others. Gonna miss Miss J. He makes the show, even if he is hardly in it any more...

[BnlxTop]

Good to see Nigel going.

I'm not so sure about Jay Manuel and Jay Alexander leaving though.

So C19 is the last cycle? They better have one big ass reunion farewell episode.

[EdenFox]

Mr Jay is awful as a creative director so i'm all for firing him. But I loved Ms Jay
Ms Jay should have been put back on the judging panel. This is the downfall of top model and I have to say I am a little sad.

[beamodel]

Miss Jay I wanted Miss Jay to be back on the judging panel, and now he is leaving.
The show hasn't even done any runway training really. Isn't runway a huge part of modeling. More important than learning the art of the booty tooch!!!
Plus Miss Jay is so funny. Every time he is on, he always makes us laugh, and always great GIFs.
Mr Jay, I will miss too. He is a huge part of the show!!
Nigel, although a huge part of ANTM, I won't miss this "sexy, noted fashion photographer."
I wonder who will replace everyone. Hopefully someone good, but I don't think anything can be done at this point to make the show go back uphill.
Cycle 19 will def be the last cycle.
