""I am disappointed.""

Tyra Banks, Jay Manuel, and Miss J Alexander recounted the show's downfall and increasingly egregious contestant challenges across its 15-year run. Tyra Banks discussed controversial moments including a photoshoot requiring contestants to swap races and an incident where an intoxicated contestant was filmed during sex. Tyra declined to speak about her relationship with Jay Manuel. Manuel served as creative director from the show's start and said he became jaded by cycle eight in 2007, emailed to quit, received a three-day silence followed by "I am disappointed," and remained until cycle 18 in 2012 when he says he was fired.
