It's difficult to remember a time before "America's Next Top Model" hit the airwaves.

What started as a simple modeling competition finished as a 24-season titan, an international franchise, and one of the best reality TV shows of the 2000s.

Dozens of celebrity judges and guest stars pop up over the course of the mega-hit series, and hundreds of wannabe models try out for the chance to be crowned as America's greatest runway-walker. No matter where they're from, what they've done, or how familiar they are with "smizing," they all face one critical question: Do they have what it takes to be on top?

Although the show ended its run in 2018, "America's Next Top Model" remains a pop culture giant.

Its challenges, photoshoots, and makeovers remain infamous, as do its lowest moments, which have faced renewed scrutiny in recent years, according to Vox. Even so, when the show is good, it's golden — and, as many fans of the streaming era have discovered, endlessly rewatchable.
