Line 38:
* [[Cat Fight]]: A Cycle 17 photoshoot is themed around this.
* [[Celebrity Impersonator]]: Some shoots require the contestants to be this.
* [[Character Development]]: Most of the [[Alpha Bitch|Alpha Bitches]] who returned in Cycle 17 [[Took a Level In Kindness]] or at least [[Defrosting Ice Queen|defrosts]]. Except for Cycle 9's [[Small Name, Big Ego|Bianca]].
* [[Confession Cam]]
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Everytime a recurring photographer or designer guest stars once again or a studio featured in a previous cycle will be revisited, expect to have a [[Call Back]].
Line 54:
** Nole Marin guested a few times in Cycle 2 before joining the panel in Cycles 3 and 4.
* [[Elimination Statement]]: Cycle 6's Jade ended her tenure on the show with a spoken-word poem (complete with rhythmic finger snapping) entitled "Leftover Lady". For many fans, this was the series' [[Moment of Awesome]].
* [[
* [[
* [[
* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]
* [[Fake Nationality]]: Cycle 4's photoshoot for ''Got Milk?'' required the girls to portray themselves in a different ethnicity.
Line 63:
* [[Fan Service]]: Each cycle will generally have at least one nude or semi-nude photoshoot.
* [[Final Girl]]: The whole show usually follows the same elimination pattern as a serial killer movie.
* [[Five
** The US and UK teams from Cycle 18.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Eva from Cycle 3, Renee from Cycle 8, Elina from Cycle 11, Angelea from Cycles 14 and 17.
Line 79:
* [[Important Haircut]]
* [[Improbably Female Cast]]: Averted. The contestants are [[Always Female]] (sans [[Transsexual|Isis]] from Cycles 11 and 17). But with the exception of Cycle 1, the panel members are mostly male.
* [[
* [[Jerkass]]: Again, many examples.
* [[Joker Immunity]]: One criticism on the show is that girls with bad attitude are kept around regardless of performance only to create drama for the show.
Line 102:
* [[Reality Show Genre Blindness]]: Kahlen from Cycle 4 had never watched an episode, and was often praised for her success having never seen an episode before.
* [[Reality TV Show Mansion]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The two Jays, the American and British girls in Cycle 18, and majority of the final two girls qualify.
* [[Reluctant Fanservice Girl]]: Cycle 1 runner-up and All-Stars sixth placer Shannon Stewart is the quintessential example. Basically, girls who refused to pose nude, or at least sexy.
** Shannon is a strange example, as she allowed herself to be pictured in swim suits that left little to the imagination, but never underwear (even if it covered more than the swim suit) because she felt that was only for her husband to see.
Line 119:
* [[Something Completely Different]]: Cycles 13 (featured contestants below 5'7), 17 (featured [[My Greatest Second Chance|returning]] contestants) and, recently 18 (see [[Crossover]] above).
* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: Given that this is a show about modelling, it's actually easier to count girls who are short or have average height. The trope is intentionally averted in Cycle 13, however.
* [[Stunt Casting]]: The most common archetypes are [[The Ditz]], [[Cloudcuckoolander]], a [[Dumb Blond]], a [[Fiery Redhead]], an [[Ice Queen]] ([[Alpha Bitch]], [[Jerkass]]) an [[Anti
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Every time there's a new judge, expect some comparisons to the one they replaced.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Again, many examples sans Cycle 13.
* [[This Is a Competition]]: No less than four different girls will remind us of this fact '''every. single. episode.'''
** After the first elimination, this trope is probably the strongest in use. And the contestants are surprised about the fact.
