'America's Next Top Model' cycle 18 to run high on emotions, says Tyra Banks

Washington, Mar 1 (ANI): Tyra Banks has asserted that America's Next Top Model: British Invasion would witness models undergoing extreme emotional upheavals.

The reality series, which premiered on Wednesday, pits British contestants against their American counterparts.

"This is a boxing match between two regions," People magazine quoted Banks as saying.

"It's interesting to see these them battle it out to get on top."

Although, every season has a makeover episode that comes with the indispensable tears and resistance, this season, the girls will be compelled outside the box with amped-up style overhauls.

"One girl will get pink hair, another girl will have half her head shaved off. Another girl got 'America's Next Top Model' shaved into her scalp," said Banks, whose style team will pull inspiration from the punk rock aesthetic and pop stars like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.

"Instead of normal makeovers, we're calling them 'takeovers'.

"There will be tears, emotion, and some girls will be pissed off. You can only imagine a girl finding out she's getting half her head shaved," the fashion mogul added. (ANI)
