The biggest (and most entertaining) takeaways from “ANTM” were the lessons from Tyra. Lesson number one: be FIERCE. If you don’t know what this means then I suggest you go back and watch it again from the beginning.

And who could forget the judges? Runway trainer J. Alexander’s hair was reason enough to tune in each week. And speaking of fierce, that man could teach us all a thing or two about walking – correction, strutting – in stilettos.

First supermodel or not, Janice Dickinson was not a judge whose bad side you wanted to get on.

Toronto-raised judge, Jay Manuel started out on “ANTM” as the director of photoshoots before taking on the lead role in the Canadian version of the show. He has since gone on to design a clothing line for Sears.

Wonder where the girls are now? Cycle 7 winner, CariDee English is one of the few who continued to model after the show. Off the runway, she appeared as a host on MTV and in shows like “One Tree Hill” and “Gossip Girl.” (Photo by Chelsea Lauren/Getty Images)

She won Cycle 3 despite being short (well, for a model) and has since gone on to earn some serious TV credits. Eva Marcille had a long-standing role on “The Young and the Restless” as well as a number of other popular shows during the early 2000s. (Photo by Prince Williams/FilmMagic)

She may have placed 11th in Cycle 5, but Cassandra Whitehead has since proven her talents in acting, appearing in “Mad Men,” “One Tree Hill” and “Hannah Montana.” She famously quit “ANTM” after Tyra cut her hair and made her cry. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)

Fatima Siad placed third in Cycle 10 but has since worked the runways of Ralph Lauren, Hermès, Dries van Noten, St. John, and Betsey Johnson. (Photo by Arun Nevader/WireImage)

Cycle 3 runner up, YaYa DaCosta, traded in her modeling shoes for a successful career as an actress. Last year she played Whitney Houston in a made for TV biopic of the late actress. (Photo by JB Lacroix/WireImage)

This Canadian model appeared in Cycle 21, bringing awareness to the chronic skin condition vitiligo. (Photo by Gisela Schober/Getty Images)

The biggest model turned actress success story is easily Analeigh Tipton. Coming in third in Cycle 11, the doe-eyed beauty has appeared in films like “Two Night Stand,” “Crazy Stupid Love,” and “Lucy.” (Photo by Sonia Recchia/Getty Images)

Ebony wiping away her tears and strutting out of her elimination in Cycle 1.

The many times various models assured us that they were stars – no matter what anyone else thought.

Natasha in Cycle 8 who reminded us there were more important things outside of modeling – like war.

Lluviana “Lluvy” Gomez’s heinous photo in Cycle 4, which Tyra referred to as the worst photo in the history of the show.

When Tyra cracked and started screaming at Tiffany in Cycle 4.

The biggest (and most entertaining) takeaways from “ANTM” were the lessons from Tyra. Lesson number one: be FIERCE. If you don’t know what this means then I suggest you go back and watch it again from the beginning.

“ANTM” is ending, you guys. This is the show that taught us many important life lessons – like how to be fierce and “smize.”

After 12 years and 22 seasons, Tyra recently announced that the show will be calling in quits. Yep, we’ll just have to tune into “FABLife” next time we want to get our Tyra fix.
