America's Next Top Model: Season 01 (2003)

Synopsis
The first season (or first "cycle") of the UPN reality series America's Next Top Model swiftly sets up the premise of 14 gorgeous girls living together in the same fashionable New York City loft as they compete for the titular title with the prestigious firm of Ford Models. It doesn't take long to establish "heroines" and "villains," nor is any time wasted before the girls are seen undergoing the grueling ritual of the Brazilian bikini wax. One by one, the contestants are eliminated, for reasons ranging from clumsiness in front of the camera to being "too sexy" (can anybody be "too sexy?"). And each week, a special guest judge sits in on the "sifting" process. Nine episodes later, the season is over, with the competition boiling down to two girls named Shannon Stewart and Adrianne Curry. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
