America's Next Top Model has returned for season 24, but this time the revival of the iconic reality show isn't messing around. Season 23 host Rita Ora has been replaced by the show's long-reigning queen Tyra Banks (we can't believe they ever even tried a season of ANTM without her, to be honest), and the contestants are more diverse than ever. There's a 42-year-old grandmother (yes, really), curvier girls, and — of course — a white Trump supporter solely on the show to stir up drama and ratings. Needless to say, Twitter had a lot to say about the premiere.

There were strong reactions to some of the new contestants . . .

And everyone was pumped about the diverse cast . . .

Some people got real about ANTM's expectations . . .

And pretty much everyone wanted to know where the hell Jay Manuel and J. Alexander were . . .

And, of course, diehard ANTM fans were SO excited to see Tyra Banks back in action.
