'Top Model' finds new consultant, judgeMiss J., Mr. Jay and Nigel Barker are out on "America's Next Top Model," and Johnny Wujek and Rob Evans are now in. Tyra Banks has announced that the fashion savvy duo will replace her longtime comrades on the next season of "America’s Next Top Model.” Wujek, who is Katy Perry’s stylist, and Evans, who is a model in his own right, will serve as the show’s creative consultant and judge, respectively. Evans will join Kelly Cutrone at the judges' table as the show's third judge.
Banks welcomed the men aboard her reality show via Twitter Thursday. "Welcome the fab Johnny Wujek & fine Rob Evans to the CW's ANTM!" wrote the 38-year-old. "Excited for some cuh-ray-zee challenges. Start practicin' ur booty tooch!" The former supermodel also indicated that The CW would be making changes to her long-running show’s format, causing it to be more interactive. "Twice a week, starting Thursday, May 24, you'll be able to use our Voting App to rank and sound off on all 13 models' best photos," she said to viewers. "Your input will shape the competition and you'll be able to see it play out in the Fall. It's time for your voice to be heard; today on social media and soon on the show itself!" "I know u get mad when we send girls home on ANTM," she tweeted. "So get ur judging smize on bc for Cycle19, you help make the choices!" The new season - which will reportedly have a collegiate theme - will begin airing this fall.

What a mistake.
Nigel & the J's make the show!!! Ms J is a bit out there but I can't see the show getting higher ratings without them. Its an awesome show but without them I think it will crash. Big mistake Tyra, huge mistake!
We need more role modesl for our youth.
Nigel sets a great example for us to emulate.
Do everyone a favor and pull the plug on this waste of airtime.
I totally agree! This show is just images of girls recreating photos of Tyra Banks. It is the epitome of a vanity project. None of them go on to do actual modeling. And Kelly Cutrone is just vile and nasty and now that they have fired the only decent people in the cast, I hope it gets cancelled.
Ms. Jay helps with my schools fashion shows!!!

Can you say JUMPED THE SHARK!?
Kelly Cutrone is staying?!!! She is a joke.
She is out of shape, ugly, does not wash or comb her hair. She dresses like a slob and looks like a meth addict. She looks like a cross between middle-aged versions of Ally Sheedy's character in "The Breakfast Club" or the the daughter in "The Adams Family".
Nigel was great as were the Jays. They had energy. Kelly Cutrone has a toxic, no energy personality. Even Janice and Twiggy were better.
Want to improve the show, bring back, Nigel and the Jays and get rid of Tyra. Then I'll watch.
Who???? This show is on it's way out!
HUGE MISTAKE. Nigel has been there since the beginning and is a fabulous judge. Mr. J is just so freaking cute. He should have been a judge also. Miss Jay is just funny as hell. You could have done without the big black man in the dress....Andre Leon Tally......He was just not fabulous.
