The CW Renews "America's Next Top Model", Two Other Series

“Booch,” “tooch” and “smize” will remain a part of the pop-cultural lexicon for the forseeable future.

The CW has renewed "America’s Next Top Model" for a 22nd cycle, the network announced today.

Launched in 2003 on UPN — which later merged with The WB to become The CW — "Top Model" has been the network’s main reality staple for a decade. In its most recent outing last Friday — in which the Cycle 21 field was whittled to five contestants — the Tyra Banks-hosted and -created series drew 1.2 million viewers and a 0.4 demo rating.

For its last two cycles, "Top Model" opened the doors to both male and female contestants — commonly referred to by Banks as “boochers” and “toochers.” (“Smizing,” for those of you still flummoxed by the intro to this article, is Tyra-nese for “smiling with your eyes”).

The CW noted Cycle 22 will again feature a mix of men and women.

Two other unscripted series — "Penn & Teller: Fool Us" and "Masters of Illusion" — also scored renewals, the network announced today.

The CW acquired the original British version of "Penn & Teller Fool Us" and aired them last summer, and has followed up by ordering 13 more one-hour installments of the magic-driven competition series.

Contestants who successfully stump the famous duo with their tricks earn the right to perform in their Las Vegas show.

"Masters of Illusion", meanwhile, has also scored a 13-episode Season 2.

Hosted by Dean Cain, the series focuses on “great escapes, fascinating sleight-of-hand, and large scale illusions, all in front of a studio audience.”

The network did not give specific premiere dates for the shows’ next batches of fresh episodes, but noted they’d all return in 2015.
