The twentieth cycle of America’s Next Top Model premiered on August 2, 2013. It was the 14th season to air on The CW. Tyra Banks, Kelly Cutrone, Bryanboy, and Rob Evans all returned as judges. The prizes for this cycle included a modeling contract with NEXT Model Management, a spread in Nylon magazine, and a US$100,000 campaign with Guess. The winner of the competition was 19-year-old Jourdan Miller from Bend, Oregon with Marvin Cortes placing as runner up. This was the first cycle of the show to feature male contestants, and Tyra indicated in an interview that a school version called LeGore’s next Top Model inspired her to start including male contestants. The international destination for the cycle was Bali, Indonesia. The finalists for cycle twenty were taken to Los Angeles where for the first time in the show’s history, men would be able to participate. The final cast was revealed by Tyra, leaving the eliminated semifinalists to be sent home. The episode began with the conclusion of the last episode, where the chosen top sixteen finalists had a vertical catwalk for Guess as their first challenge with Rob and supermodel Jessica Hart as the judges. Later that night, the models were photographed so that they could earn the fan votes that would allow them into the final cast. The chosen twenty-six finalists moved into the top model home, where they would spend the night. The next day, all models were able to see all the photos from the first day where they had their first photo shoot where they saw their scores from the challenge.
Mike and Renee were chosen as the winner for having the highest score, which made Mike worried to drink himself to sleep the next day. In contrast, Mike and Bianca had been the weakest and Jessica had revealed that Marvin andRenee had been standouts. The finale ended with a cliffhanger, where Tyra announced that they would have to walk on a vertical runway for Guess, but continued with a Cliffhanger. The top 16 models were then revealed byTyra, and the eliminated models were left to be revealed. Chris H. spoke about his experience of having been homeless.

Mike confessed that he had been discovered by TyRA while working on an ice cream truck. Jeremy admitted that he has been chubby as a kid, but managed to overcome his struggles and become fit. The models were interviewed individually, and Marvin talked about his home life, and about his father’s profession as a janitor. Back at the model house, Joursdan began to talk to Jeremy and told him that they were only friends. Mike gave up on the walk, opting to go limp down the runway, opting for the catwalk, and Jessica thought they were completely impressed by Marvin and Mike. The contestants were then able to share the Suite Suite, which she chose to share with Kanani.
