America's Next Top Model (often shortened to Top Model or abbreviated as ANTM) is a reality television show in which a number of women compete for the title of America's Next Top Model and a chance to start their career in the modeling industry.

The show was created and is hosted by television personality, former supermodel and current talk-show host, Tyra Banks, who also serves as the head judge and executive producer of the show. The first "cycle" premiered in May 2003 and was one of UPN's highest rated shows. The show's seventh cycle was the first of the shows among regular programming on UPN's successor network, The CW, and thus far is the network's highest rated series.^[1][2] The show will continue until at least the 2009-10 season.^[3] The opening theme is performed by Tyra Banks and is produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Banks co-produces the show with Ken Mok and Anthony Dominici.^[4] For the 2006-2007 television season, ANTM was the #1 show in average viewers on The CW.^[5]

This cycle features 14 contestants, similar to cycles 3, 4 and 10.

This cycle included a first for the show - having a transgendered contestant named Isis participate and qualify for the final 14. The inclusion has been noted as an "unprecedented opportunity" by Neil Giuliano, president of GLAAD.^[2]

Volume Three: Villains

The premiere of the third volume, "Villains", will be preceded by a one-hour clip show of the past two seasons.^[12] "Villains" was originally designed to be included within the second season; however, due to the writers' strike, the volume was carried over into season three. The lead-in to "Villains" featured a scene with Sylar, which was shown as the final scene of the "Generations" finale. Throughout Volume Two, Sylar's powers were suppressed by the Shanti virus.^[28] After using a cure, procured from Mohinder Suresh, he regained his abilities, delivering the first lines of Volume Three, "Villains": "I'm back."^{[citation needed]}

Tim Kring has claimed that the new volume will bring a cadre of villains to the show, hence the title.^[29] On December 5, 2007 at the Jules Verne Film Festival Adventure, Tim Kring showed a video-preview of volume three.^[30] According to an interview with Allan Arkush, filming for season three began on May 1, 2008.^[31] On May 9, 2008 a season three promo clip was released with hints at possible "inner villains" within the heroes. The promo stated, "In every hero there could be a villain," before plastering the words "hero" and "villain" over the face of every major character. Finally, at the featured Heroes panel, the entire first hour of the first episode of the Villains arc was shown.^[32]

In July NBC began airing a teaser for season three featuring Noah Bennet talking to Claire stating, "This was before you were even born, I was finding these people and locking them away so that they couldn't hurt anybody. Now a dozen of them have escaped, and they will kill...and they will terrorize...and they will cause...unimaginable destruction to the world...they're villains, Claire," while a montage of clips play.^[33] Zachary Quinto, who plays Sylar, has stated that the Villains story arc will last for thirteen episodes.^[34] At the San Diego Comic Con 2008, the booth for Heroes displayed two separate looping tracks of two people in completely white rooms. One strained against his restraints, while the other paced around the room.

In addition, Kring screened the first part of the season opening episode of the "Villains" arc, entitled "The Second Coming", which was shown in its entirety at Comic-Con and received a positive response from fans.^[35]
