Maturing is realizing Tyra was WILD toxic for nooo reason

[SirAsdf]

Tyra's rant was the exact moment I realized that she is exactly as crazy and self-absorbed as I thought.

She saw Tiffany accepting her defeat with grace and decided that just wasn't good enough for her, launching into a tirade against Tiffany for literally nothing.

Tiffany has much more restraint than I do, cause I would've cussed that psycho out where she stood for being that full of herself.

[rodchaccur]

Tyra’s rant should’ve been number 1. That is hands down an ICONIC pop culture moment

[larahedge]

I think Ru getting after the queens on season 7 during the Shakespeare episode was more intense than the H&M outburst tbh.

[elisefincher]

Kinda surprised the natalia kills moment wasn't on this where she reprimanded and said she was disgusted by a contestant she said was copying her husband then her husband who was also a judge chimed in equating him to Norman Bates

[SirAsdf]

I would've also included that moment from the Australian version of X Factor where two of the judges were so unnecessarily rude to one of the contestants that they were fired on the spot and went back to being nobodies. They literally said he looked like a serial killer and accused him of "stealing their style" their style being a standard black and white tux.

And Tyras 'I was rooting for you' is now part of drag race culture. Thank you gurl

[lonellfletcher]

Paul's critique of Mat's tennis cake was hardly the cruelest he's ever been on the show.

[S.E.C-R]

Please, he couldn’t even throw his notebook to the ground right, he looked like a prissy little priss “trying” to be mad and dramatic! 🙄

I can relate to the Tyra Banks one. I am neurodivergent and do not emote a lot. I also sometimes cope by making jokes. It used to piss off my teachers because they would accuse me of being apathetic. I had one yell at me in high school in a similar manner to Tyra. I ended up in a verbal fight with her. I asked her what she wanted from me, and pointed out that no amount of histrionics will change my grade so why should I indulge her?

[princessarwen]

Tyra should have had all 10 spots 😂 Also that’s not even the most scathing thing Paul Hollywood has ever said on the show lmao.

[charmedtommo]

Tyra’s rant got edited for tv. Apparently Tyra was so much worse and cussed Tiffany and her baby out. A few girls spoke out after the show finished and said how disgusted they were with Tyra. After that I refused to watch ANTM. Tyra is a bully and a tyrant.

[phantomrequim]

I never liked Tyra Banks, but that moment with Tiffany made me dislike her even more. Tiffany never treated it like a joke and was disappointed about the elimination, but hid it with a smile. Yet Tyra, being the arrogant person that she is, wanted Tiffany to cry like all the others and was angry that she didn't do what she wanted. I stopped watching the show after this aired.

[OmarTafur]

That time in X-Factor where Demi Lovato and the other judges ridiculed a man simply cause of his age, and she even told him that “not everyone is supposed to follow their dreams”!

But he called her out for using autotune like a total boss!

[masseyjd]

“You better glitter the fuck out of it” 😂😂😂😂

[jbshiva]

Tyra's screaming fit should have been number 1, though I think her whole 'race switching' themed photoshoot could have been on this list as well.

[loveyoubabyRB]

Why is Natalia Kills and Willlie Moon not number one or not even on this list????

[EHWFederation]

Tyra not being number one? COME ON MS MOJO, WE WERE ROOOTING FOR YOOOOUUUU! WE WERE AAAALLLL

[tjwash]

Paul Hollywood calling it a tennis court from Haides is far from a scathing review. How did it even make this list?

[darkheartchick]

The face Tim Gunn makes at 11:59. 😂 I love him!
