'Top Model' Premiere Doubles Up

(Posted August 9, 2005 by Leah Yoakum)

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) "America's Next Top Model" is going plus-sized for the debut of its fifth competition.

UPN has tinkered with its premiere schedule slightly, opting for a two-hour broadcast of "Top Model's" season opener on Wednesday, Sept. 21. That means the second-season premiere of "Veronica Mars" will move back one week to Sept. 28.

Expanding "Top Model" also means that viewers won't have to wait a week to see the show's first elimination with new judges Twiggy and "Miss" J. Alexander. In past seasons the premiere has been devoted to the audition process and the selection of finalists, with the first elimination of a finalist coming the following week.

The first Tuesday encore of "Top Model" on Sept. 27 will stick to one hour. UPN will show the second half of the premiere, which includes the first elimination, leading into the debut of the new drama "Sex, Love & Secrets."
