Sandy Und Gina Rau Biography & Facts

Germany's Next Topmodel (often abbreviated as GNTM) is a German reality television series based on the concept introduced by Tyra Banks with America's Next Top Model. The competition is hosted by Heidi Klum, who also serves as the lead judge and executive producer of the show. It is presently the longest-running Top Model adaptation, with a span of 19 years, and the Top Model series with the second-highest number of cycles. The show has faced heavy criticism in Germany due to the treatment of its contestants. The allegations include gaslighting, abuse of power, misrepresentation of contestants and manipulations by the crew as well as body shaming. The show is also accused of being responsible for the cyberbullying and death threats against the contestants due to the show's misrepresentation of them. The show is also in the focus of the Commission for Youth Media Protection and the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. Former judges have distanced themselves from the show. Show format Germany's Next Topmodel currently has 19 cycles. Each cycle has ten to 18 episodes and starts with 12–40 contestants. During each episode, one contestant is eliminated, although a double/triple elimination or no elimination may occur based on the consensus of the judging panel. Makeovers are administered to contestants early in the competition, usually after the first or second elimination in the finals. Differences between ANTM and GNTM While America's Next Top Model typically starts with 30 semi-finalists who are cut down to a batch of between ten and 16 contestants, Germany's Next Top Model cycle premieres begin with highlights from the auditions of 100 candidates (Cycles 1 and 2) and 120 candidates (Cycle 3), respectively. The panel challenge in front of the judges on America's Next Top Model is almost always replaced by a runway walk in front of the judges on the German show. In the elimination process on America's Next Top Model, host Tyra Banks hands out a photograph to each of the contestants who are safe, in order of merit. The bottom two of each episode are called to stand before Banks and are judged individually. The call-out order plays a significant role in determining the best contestant of the week—a departure from Germany's Next Top Model, where the call-out order does not provide insights into the quality of the contestants' performance, except during the final. Moreover, they are called out one by one while the others are waiting in the backstage lobby. The US contestants are all present. GNTM also starts the finale with three or four contestants left, while in ANTM, the finale starts with two or three contestants left. On the American show, the final five or six contestants embark on a journey to an international destination. "In contrast, the German version does not consistently commit to the number of journeys abroad. Cycle 1 went abroad two times, Cycle 2 did so four times, and Cycle 3 went to six different countries. On America's Next Top Model, the final two or three contestants compete on a runway, and the winner is chosen in the judging room. On Germany's Next Top Model, the final three or four contestants compete on a runway and a photo shoot in front of a live audience in Cologne, Germany before the winner is revealed. The final show is live on TV. Cycle 4's final show was the first to air live from a concert hall instead of a TV studio. Due to the pregnancy of Heidi Klum, the start of the fifth cycle was postponed and kicked off in March. Instead, a spin-off called Die Model WG was shown featuring several former contestants from the show and hosted by judge Peyman Amin. Host and judges Only Heidi Klum herself has been part of the judging panel on every cycle. All the other permanent judges have always been male. Thomas Hayo remained a permanent judge for the longest (six consecutive cycles), followed by Peyman Amin (four consecutive cycles). After leaving the show, Amin eventually hosted the show's spin-off, Die Model WG, and signed Cycle 5's winner Alisar Ailabouni despite never meeting her on the show. Although Boris Entrup was only a regular judge on Cycle 2, he still was part of the show until 2017 as the makeup advisor. In 2017, Wolfgang Joop became the first former judge to return as he was a guest judge for one episode, a finale, and came back in 2018 as well. The judging panel since Cycle 14 has consisted of guest judges, with Klum being the only permanent judge. Criticism and controversies As of 2023, many celebrities, organizations, and former contestants have publicly spoken out against the show such as Beth Ditto, Eva Padberg, Julia Stegner, Carolin Kebekus, Cordula Stratmann, Désirée Nick, Wolfgang Joop, Roger Willemsen, Sara Nuru, Simone Kowalski, Femen and even the German Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. Since Cycle 5, the show's ratings have decreased.To improve ratings, showrunners shifted their focus to inciting conflict between contestants. The show has faced criticism from within the modeling industry for its minimal relevance and focus on shock value. In 2009, German model Julia Stegner said that Germany's Next Topmodel has "little to do with the reality of modeling." In 2012, former judge Rolf Scheider criticized the program, saying "the show has never produced a new Nadja Auermann or Claudia Schiffer" and that contestants who "lack modeling talent" are selected purely for ratings. In April 2022, the head of MGM Models, Marco Sinervo, expressed that the format has nothing to do with models or fashion, but with the abuse of contestants. Due to its ratings-driven nature, the program has faced backlash for abusing contestants. The models are treated poorly on set, often not given enough food, having their mobile phones confiscated, and having limited time to use the restroom. Former judge Wolfgang Joop criticized the show, stating he left because of the program's focus on scenes like "contestants collapsing, getting homesick, crying and falling on their heels." In Episode 9 of Cycle 12, the contestants had a photoshoot on a bed with male models wearing lingerie that took place in the streets of Los Angeles, causing a car accident that Klum made light of. In 2019, Cycle 4 contestant Tessa Bergmeier criticized the show and production team, stating they "often put words and phrases in the contestants' mouths that they would never have said." Former contestant Jana Heinisch said that disputes are deliberately provoked by the production. A physical fight in Cycle 14 between contestants Jasmin Cadete and Lena Lischewski led to Cadete's disqualification. Lischewski's lawyer sued ProSieben and the cameramen, calling it "unacceptable that a television station films a minor beaten by another participant and the present camera crew does not intervene." After Vanessa Stanat quit Cycle 14, ProSieben took over her official Instagram account and her personal account shortly .... Discover the Sandy Und Gina Rau popular books.
