America's Next Top Model (season 10)

The tenth cycle of ''America's Next Top Model'' was the fourth season of the series to be aired on The CW network. The promotional catchphrase of the cycle is "New Faces, New Attitude, New York." The promotional song was " Feedback" by Janet Jackson.

A few major changes were made this season. The show was moved back to New York, after being housed in Los Angeles since cycle 4. The number of contestants was also increased to 14, after being maintained at 13 since cycle 5. Finally, the judging panel, unchanged since cycle 5, was also altered; Twiggy was replaced by model Paulina Porizkova due to the former's scheduling conflicts.

The prizes for this cycle were:

* A modeling contract with Elite Model Management
* A fashion spread and cover in '' Seventeen''
* A 100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics

The international destination for this cycle was Rome, Italy, the franchises' second of three visits to Italy throughout the current seasons.

The winner of the competition was 20-year-old Whitney Thompson from Atlantic Beach, Florida. Thompson was the first plus-size model to win the competition. This season averaged 4.23 million viewers per episode.

Kimberly

Months later after the second episode (see top), Kim Rydzewski appeared on the October 15, 2008 episode of the said show together with fellow cycle 10 contestants Marvita Washington, Dominique Reighard and cycle 8 winner Jaslene Gonzalez where they talked about domestic violence. Rydzewski revealed later that the true reason she quit the contest was because she experienced depression, influenced by her ex-boyfriend's suicide three months prior to the competition, which in turn, revived her experiences of her mother's suicide when she was a child.

She explained that she initially wanted to join ''ANTM'' to help her divert her emotions, but she felt that it was not working and later used a ambiguous excuse to voluntarily leave the contest. She confessed that she really likes fashion and wanted to pursue it as a career, unfortunately Rydzewski died on December 19, 2016 at the age of 29.
