Themed Fairy Tales Come True, the sixth Cycle of Americas Next Top Model finds 13 contestants vying for the coveted title, a modeling contract with Ford Models, an Elle magazine cover and fashion spread, and a $100,000 deal with CoverGirl cosmetics. During the nail-biting competition, the models find themselves in unexpected and precarious situations including posing for a photo shoot bald, walking the runway with live, giant hissing cockroaches, competing for a chance to win a guest role on Veronica Mars, and while in Bangkok and Phuket, Thailand, riding and posing on elephants. Cycle 6 includes guest appearances by Nick Cannon (Men In Black II) and super model Janice Dickinson. Originally broadcast in Spring 2006, Cycle 6 marks the last season UPN aired the hit reality series on UPN, before the network merged with The WB to create the CW.
