In a report by Mirror Online, Banks told her 12.9 million followers the following statement: "Yeah, I truly believe it's time. Our diehard fans know we've expanded the definition of beauty, presented what Flawsome is, tooched and booched and boom boom boomed, shown the world how to show their neck, rocked couture/catalogue/commercial poses, have found our (and your) light, strutted countless runways, gone on tons of go-sees, added guys to the girls mix, and have traveled around the globe and back again."
Banks added that she is very proud with what "America's Next Top Model" has done noting that it was the first every reality show that was based on the fashion world. She added that she never thought her little idea would turn out to be a major competition with 22 cycles.
