America's Next Top Model [1] has returned for season 24, but this time the revival of the iconic reality show [2] isn't messing around. Season 23 host Rita Ora [3] has been replaced by the show's long-reigning queen Tyra Banks [4] (we can't believe they ever even tried a season of ANTM without her, to be honest), and the contestants are more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.
