* The All-Stars Cycle had plenty:
** Cycle 5 alumnae Bre and Lisa winning the carousel challenge in episode 5. Around Cycles 3-7 were the times when J. Alexander ''[[SinkOrSwimMentor really]]'' hammered the contestants in runway challenges.

** Shannon being an [[CoolBigSis older sister figure]] to Alexandria makes sense. Shannon was from the inaugural cycle while Alexandria was from the recent and previous one.
** Tyra added the word ''again'' to the end of her usual pre-EliminationCatchphrase ("one of them will be going home") during the All-Stars Cycle, reflecting that Cycle's MyGreatestSecondChance theme. However, she just uttered her regular pre-EliminationStatement in two occasions. First in episode 9 when Shannon and Laura were the bottom two. And then in episode 12 when the bottom two were Allison and Laura. The reason is that the girls mentioned were runner-ups from their original Cycles.
*** During the aforementioned episode 9, Tyra's ''ExactWords'' to the final six were [[EliminationCatchPhrase she's only holding five photos in her hands]]. Shannon was eliminated because she refused to do the photoshoot.
** Angelea's ''[[EliminationHoudini Persistent]]'' brand.
** The final two for this Cycle were Lisa and Allison. Originally, Lisa was from Cycle 5 while Allison was from Cycle 12. Adding five and twelve will sum up to seventeen (5+12=17). All-Stars was the ''seventeenth'' Cycle.
*** If Angelea ''was'' indeed the initial winner, then the math thing also counts for her. This was the first (and only) time there's a final three and she's originally from Cycle 14, so 3+14=17.
** Lisa was the first non-winner to guest during an on-going season (Cycle 6 along with Janice Dickinson). Winning the cycle featuring non-winning contestants somewhat makes it relevant.
*** Lisa's ShockingElimination ''way'' back in Cycle 5 was actually justified. That episode's [[AnAesop aesop]] was "being a Top Model is also being a role model, which means you're always being monitored/watched so ''always'' be paparazzi/camera prepared or else they may get a shot to use against you". During panel, the judges dismissed Lisa as "uncontrollable" and stated that they were tuned-off by her spit-fire personality. Lisa was actually tame in that episode. But in the previous episode, they had a non-elimination week only to see the contestants' development. That was the same episode Lisa made her infamous "diaper-peeing" scene.
* In Cycle 7, the go sees were for 10 designers in Barcelona. CariDee and Eugena teamed up, as did the twins, while Melrose went alone. Melrose strategy makes sense since the girls that teamed up had to wait for each other to finish with the designers. She ended up winning the challenge and going to the most number of designers - 5 out of 10.

to:

* In Cycle 5, Lisa D'Amato is [[ShockingElimination eliminated]] despite being a consistent performer, because that episode's [[AnAesop aesop]] is "Being a Top Model means people--fans, photographers, etc.--are always going to be watching you so you need to be a role model". In the previous episode, Lisa peed in a diaper at the Wild Boyz photoshoot and at the elimination panel, Lisa was criticized for her spitfire personality and perceived immaturity.
* In Cycle 7, the go-see challenge in Barcelona was to meet with 10 designers. [=CariDee=] English and Eugena Washington teamed up, as did Amanda and Michelle Babin, while Melrose Bickerstaff went alone. Melrose's strategy makes sense since the contestants that teamed up had to wait for each other before they could go on to the next designer. Melrose ended up winning the challenge and visited the most number of designers - 5 out of 10.
* The All-Stars Cycle (Cycle 17) had plenty:
** Cycle 5 alumnae Bre Scullark and Lisa winning D'Amato win the carousel runway challenge in episode 5. Around Cycles 3-7 were the times Cycle 5 was when J.

** Alisha's HeroicSacrifice may count as a bittersweet FridgeBrilliance. Her ExactWords when she quit was she doesn't want to be selfish and take the deserving spot over the remaining girls (the front-runners and an improving contestant). It'll probably be dismissed as not wanting to be an EliminationHoudini, which is true. But each of the remaining girls were having NoDamageRun at that point. And Alisha herself had a NoDamageRun during BNTM Cycle 6 were she became an eventual finalist, came-up short but nonetheless proud of it. Basically, her decision to quit allowed the front-runners and the improving contestants to have a strong chance for having a FlawlessVictory, something she was so close on achieving before, thus putting her NonGameplayElimination in a better light.
** And the winner did had a FlawlessVictory. And what's sweeter is she's Alisha's teammate.

* The All-Stars Cycle had plenty:
** Tyra added the word ''again'' to the end of her usual pre-EliminationCatchphrase ("one of them will be going home") during the All-Stars Cycle, reflecting that Cycle's MyGreatestSecondChance theme. However, she just uttered her regular pre-EliminationStatement in two occasions. First in episode 9 when Shannon and Laura were the bottom two. And then in episode 12 when the bottom two were Allison and Laura. The reason is that the girls mentioned were runner-ups from their original Cycles.
*** During the aforementioned episode 9, Tyra's ''ExactWords'' to the final six were [[EliminationCatchPhrase she's only holding five photos in her hands]]. Shannon was eliminated because she refused to do the photoshoot.
** Angelea's "[[EliminationHoudini Persistent]]" brand.
** The final two for this Cycle were Lisa and Allison. Originally, Lisa was from Cycle 5 while Allison was from Cycle 12. Adding five and twelve will sum up to seventeen (5+12=17). All-Stars was the ''seventeenth'' Cycle.
** Lisa was the first non-winner to guest during an on-going season (Cycle 6 along with Janice Dickinson). Winning the cycle featuring non-winning contestants somewhat makes it relevant.
*** Speaking of Lisa, her ShockingElimination ''way'' back in Cycle 5 was actually justified. So that cycle's remaining girls had a challenge with the paparazzi. The judges reminded them that they are always being monitored and that they should ''always'' be camera prepared. The panel dismissed Lisa as "uncontrollable" and stated that they are tuned-off by her spit-fire personality. That episode's [[AnAesop aesop]] is "always act like a role model in any aspects all the time because that's what models (or public figures) are supposed to be" and Lisa was actually tame in that episode. But the episode before that is where Lisa made her infamous "peeing scene" and they had a non-elimination week only to see the contestants' development.
* Cycle 18
** [[http://getglue.com/stickers/the_cw/americas_next_top_model_cycle_18_coming_soon The kiss-mark]] in the logo seems to be just a fancy design. But if you look into the winner's backstory or saw it beforehand, [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/ca/Britain%27s_Next_Top_Model%2C_Cycle_5.jpg you'll figure that it's not]].
*** TheOtherWiki lists Sophie as the first non-American to win the show. While Cycle 8 winner [[SpicyLatina Jaslene]] is not American, she grew up in the US, therefore a naturalized (American) citizen.

* Kayla in Cycle 15 had to be photographed with the word "queer" all over her body. The shoot was about "rising above the words that caused you pain in your life" or something like that. Then she revealed she was [[RapeAsbackstory sexually assaulted]]...
