2. America's Next Top Model, Cycle 3

To me, Cycle 3 was virtually perfect. It had some of the biggest characters ever, including Tocarra (well, literally in her
case), Yaya, and Eva, and probably the best drama out of all ANTM cycles. First, you had Kelle, who was just a mess by herself, but then you add the pressure
of the competition and having to deal with a bunch of obnoxious girls, and you get a hilarious breakdown that devolves into long periods spent by Kelle looking
in the mirror to analyze her "snout" (still, <3 Kelle).
Then there was Ann's disturbing obsession with Eva, which ultimately deteriorated
into Ann's very public assertion that she doesn't want to see Eva win because she is selfish (and not paying enough attention to her?).
Also hilarious was Browniegate, which broke out into exclamations of "mutilation!" and "disrespect!"
The most epic fight, however, was the blow-up that occurred when the dumb bitch Amanda had "lost" her crystals and began accusing Eva of having
taken them. What started off as a (not so) innocent bump on Eva's shoulder turned into a fight among half the people in the house! The most laffotastic
part of the whole fight (besides Eva correcting Jennipher that she had said "skinny" and not "tall" and then proclaiming she was loved by
the judges because she was cute) was Jennipher trying to be a hard-ass and pretend like she could take on Ann.
Aside from the constant drama, Cycle 3 also offered some of the best photoshoots and the best overall cast as far as entertainment/modeling potential. The judges were also the best that ANTM has ever had (Nigel wasn't annoying yet and Nole hadn't become repetitive and boring yet). For me, Cycle 3 also probably had the closest thing to a flawless boot order (I actually didn't mind how long Ann lasted, but maybe that is just because I am one of the few people I know who actually liked Ann : /). Although Cycle 3 had many of my most hated Top Model contestants ever (Jennipher, Cassie, and Amanda), it also had some of my favorites (Eva and Kelle). I actually think by having so many people that I could root against, but also a few I could root for is what makes Cycle 3 my favorite ANTM cycle.
