America's Next Top Model (season 22)


The twenty-second cycle of America's Next Top Model premiered on August 5, 2015 and is the sixteenth and final season to air on The CW. The network announced in mid-October that they were cancelling the show and the finale episode aired on December 4, 2015.
Like the two previous seasons, cycle 22 featured both male and female contestants. However, for the first time since cycle 13, the height restriction was removed and the competition was opened to contestants at any height. Tyra Banks, Kelly Cutrone and J. Alexander returned to the judging panel, with photographer Yu Tsai remaining as creative director. Unlike the last three cycles, social media was no longer included on the show. The scoring system remained in place, but only the combined challenge and judges' scores were added into the final tally to determine who would be eliminated.
While there was no international destination for this cycle, the models traveled to Las Vegas for two episodes. This is the second cycle in the series to be shot completely in the United States, after cycle 13.
The winner of the competition was 25-year-old Nyle DiMarco from Washington, D.C. with Mamé Adjei placing as the runner up.DiMarco is noted for being the first deaf contestant in the history of America's Next Top Model and also the first deaf contestant to win the competition.
