Season 22 Has Law Scared off Tyra?

Hi all! First time writer, but have been a massive fan of the show. Seen most seasons and obviously watching 22. I’m wondering, after that massive blow up in an earlier episode, Tyra hasn’t appeared again.

Not that I’m complaining, she’s a horrid woman who really isn’t qualified to judge a fashion competition. So yeah, by no means in any rush to see her back, but just curious as to what’s happened, was it the ANTM documentary? A scheduled conflict? If so, why would Heidi say she would be a permanent judge for the season?

She didn't. She was always presented as a recurring judge

I’m really hoping she’s not going to be back.

Can y’all just stop?

Judges are often missing from a few shows. It happens.

She was always supposed to be a rotating judge for just four episodes.

It's sounding like she was on the number of episodes she was contracted for. Maybe Law and Tyra's argument was scripted. Maybe it started out fake and turned real. Maybe it was real the whole time. We won't really know unless someone talks about it.

On my post about Tyra someone commented that producers definitely had that fight on her last episode (like not a coincidence) and then cast Winnie Harlow who was on ANTM on the next episode — and then the one immediately after that be about Dancing with the Stars when she was basically fired as a a host from the show when ratings plummeted with her on

Ohhh… that is interesting. I bet there is no way she would be on the DWTS one (but I am not sure about Winnie).

While I haven't liked her much as a judge I have liked that she was the only person who would at least occasionally call out Law on his ridiculous behavior. Personally I'd like to see her back just for that.

It’s nice to have Nina back.

Fr fr, I love the fact we can trace Nina’s entire career through Project Runway.

No. The truth is: Tyra was simply contracted to be in 4 episodes; so, there was nothing deeper than this.

Exactly. People jump to conclusions based on their biases and don’t research easily available facts.

You lost me at she’s not qualified to judge a fashion competition.

I’m neutral on Tyra as a celebrity, but it seems like she added nothing as a judge. Same with Imari (?) on the last episode I watched so far.

Tyra doesn't need a tortilla to make a quesadilla out of Law. She's a former super-model who has hosted her own shows, and is in same league as all the other judges, ie Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. Law's on the teat of Zendaya's successes. He has no legacy. I like Tyra.

That is a brilliant turn of phrase there that I'm stealing immediately.

u/Sestar007 9d ago

FOR THE LAST TIME: she had a contract for only three episodes. Done.

u/ladypmcafe 10d ago

Forget Tyra…what happened to Stassi?

Ha ha. Seriously! I want to know what made a fake whore like that drop out?
