\n\tDuring the lockdown period of COVID in 2020 \u2014\u00a0when many people were bored at home and looking for shows to watch \u2014 \u201cAmerica\u2019s Next Top Model\u201d once again became a zeitgeist topic. This time, however, viewers were watching the show through the lens of the post-George Floyd reckoning on race, and time has not been kind to \u201cANTM.\u201d The way the judges would so casually and often cruelly critique the young women\u2019s bodies was one matter of contention; photoshoot themes of crime scenes and race-swapping (resulting in Blackface) were another.<\/p>\n
\n\tBanks is interviewed for \u201cReality Check: Inside America\u2019s Next Top Model,\u201d and even though she says at the start, \u201cI haven\u2019t really said much. But now it\u2019s time,\u201d she doesn\u2019t take accountability for much. By the end of the third episode, she tells the audience she hopes that\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0as open to being called out as she is:\u00a0\u201cBecause that day will come,\u201d she says, affecting the stilted-sounding delivery she uses throughout the series. It\u2019s a moment of fabricated wisdom from Banks that\u2019s immediately undermined by the documentarians \u2014\u00a0directors Mor Loushy and Daniel Sivan \u2014\u00a0who cut to \u201cANTM\u201d Cycle 6 winner Danielle Evans, who says, \u201cGirl, that is absolutely ridiculous. Perfect time to stop.\u201d (Evans, whose harrowing account of Banks forcing her to get the gap in her teeth closed, or she\u2019d be cut from the competition, emerges from \u201cReality Check\u201d as a voice of reason, and its most charismatic pundit.) \u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tAlso prominently featured in the docuseries are Jay Manuel, Banks\u2019 former makeup artist and the creative director on \u201cANTM\u201d; photographer and judge Nigel Barker; and runway coach and judge J. Alexander. Miss J and Mr. J, as they were called, along with Barker, have clearly done a lot of processing about their time on the show and their relationships (or lack thereof) with Banks, adding insightful commentary into the show\u2019s beginning, middle and end. But \u201cReality Check\u201d saves its biggest shock \u2014\u00a0that Miss J had a debilitating stroke in December 2022 \u2014\u00a0for the final act of its third episode, when viewers see that he\u2019s in a wheelchair (and has a moving reunion with Manuel and Barker).<\/p>\n
\n\tFrom the aftermath of Miss J\u2019s stroke and how he\u2019s recovering, to the show\u2019s most cringeworthy photoshoots, to how Banks feels now about losing it on Tiffany Richardson (\u201cWe were all rooting for you!\u201d), there is much to dissect in \u201cReality Check: Inside America\u2019s Next Top Model.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSeason 1 of \u201cAmerica\u2019s Next Top Model\u201d had such a low budget that the whole season was shot in a hotel in New York City, where the cast also lived. Before they got there, though, executive producer Ken Mok recounts the difficulties the show had with the network, which he says pushed back against the diversity of the show\u2019s cast. Both Mok and Banks tell the story of wanting to cast a particular woman who was Latina, but Leslie Moonves, the head of CBS (who in 2018 would be ousted because of allegations of sexual misconduct<\/a>), vetoed her casting. \u201cI lost it,\u201d Banks says. Mok says Moonves and Banks argued to the point where \u201cit almost got\u00a0physical.\u201d Mok remembers begging Banks: \u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0Les Moonves.\u00a0Let\u2019s\u00a0not torpedo the show before we even get it on the air.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe cast\u2019s inclusiveness also extended to sexuality.\u00a0Season 1 contestant Ebony Haith was queer, which was rare on television at the time. In an interview for the docuseries, Haith claims Banks outed her on camera, as a clip plays in which Banks says: \u201cWe know\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0a lesbian. How do you feel about expressing that on national television?\u201d Haith ended up being fine with being out on the show, and says she\u2019s glad they showed her with her partner. But what she wasn\u2019t fine with was her flop makeover that left her with three bald spots. After Haith protested, Banks called her, and instead of offering support, Haith says she said, \u201cYou\u2019ve been showing up ashy every day.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIt got worse from there. The judges called Haith \u201cold,\u201d \u201caggressive and angry\u201d and \u201charsh.\u201d She breaks down during the interview. \u201cMy heart was breaking, as I\u2019m on this national show, thinking the world would be proud of me,\u201d she says. When Haith was eliminated, Banks told her that she\u2019d had a \u201cchip on her shoulder\u201d which made her \u201cdifficult to work with.\u201d (When Haith posted about \u201cReality Check\u201d<\/a> on Instagram, the comments were supportive, such as: \u201cSorry for the racism you dealt with on that show!!\u201d and \u201cI watched your season recently and you are a favorite now. They were so mean to you. I\u2019m so sorry that happened. I\u2019m so glad you did come out on top! Go Ebony!\u201d)<\/p>\n \n\tAs we all know, \u201cAmerica\u2019s Next Top Model\u201d became a hit, and Jay Manuel tells the story of one early fan: Iman called Manuel after the series premiere, and handed the phone to her husband, David Bowie. \u201cYou found\u00a0the place where you need to be,\u201d Manuel remembers him saying.<\/p>\n \n\t \u00a0<\/p>\n \tCycle 2\u2019s Shandi Sullivan has sex during production when she\u2019s blackout drunk<\/p>\n \t\t\t \n\tThe final moments of Episode 1 of \u201cReality Check\u201d preview the docuseries\u2019 darkest story: the on-camera blackout sex Shandi Sullivan had in Milan during the show\u2019s second season.<\/p>\n \n\tAfter Season 1 was a hit, \u201cANTM\u201d got a bigger budget for the next cycle, leading to the first international trip for the remaining cast. Once in Milan, Sullivan \u2014\u00a0an awkward, gawky young woman who\u2019d been a clerk at Walgreens \u2014 seemed to blossom, and all the judges were gushing about her transformation (and her photoshoot). During a competition when they went on go-sees, the contestants were driven around on Vespas by young men, whom they then invited back to where they were staying. Does Banks remember what happened to\u00a0Shandi, an off-camera voice asks her. Banks hesitates: \u201cUm\u2026\u201d So ends Episode 1.<\/p>\n \n\tThe second episode picks up from there, with Sullivan sharing her story. \u201cI think I had two bottles of wine by myself,\u201d she says, and had not eaten all day. She was in a hot tub with one of the guys, and they began kissing. \u201cI was blacked out for a lot of it,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0even feel sex happening, I just knew it was happening. And then I just passed out.\u201d She woke up the next morning and cried hysterically, she says.<\/p>\n \n\tThe event became a storyline in a way that\u2019s shocking in 2026. The show framed it as if she had cheated on her longtime boyfriend, Eric, and Banks even had a sisterly talk with Sullivan on camera about the perils of infidelity in relationships. (When asked about the ethics of what happened to Sullivan, Banks says she didn\u2019t have anything to do with production.) Sullivan wanted to go home, and she wanted to talk to Eric on the phone. Production filmed her calling him \u2014 recording his side of the conversation, too \u2014 and confessing, \u201cI did the worst possible thing I could do.\u201d What unfolded is an indelible memory to anyone who saw this scene. \u201cYou had sex?\u201d Eric screeched at her. \u201cYou stupid bitch!\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSullivan says there were only two members of the crew with her during the scene, a camera operator and a sound guy. \u201cWe\u2019re really, really sorry that we had to film that,\u201d she remembers them saying to her afterward. \u201cThey just knew this isn\u2019t right \u2014 why are we filming this?\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tMok says the cast knew the show was filmed like a documentary, without interference. But Sullivan says she would have wanted someone to intervene when she was wasted, describing what she wishes the show\u2019s crew had thought that night: \u201cThis has gone too far \u2014 we\u00a0gotta\u00a0pull her out of this.\u201d The show also filmed her later asking the man she\u2019d been with whether they\u2019d used protection, and whether he had any STDs. As for the final product, Mok says, \u201cWe scaled back that scene in a significant way.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSullivan appeared on Banks\u2019 self-named talk show before Cycle 5 of \u201cANTM,\u201d and had told them that she\u2019d never watched what happened to her. But Banks played it anyway during Sullivan\u2019s appearance, and she turned her eyes away so she didn\u2019t have to see it. Speaking in the docuseries, Sullivan says: \u201cI\u00a0literally\u00a0told\u00a0you behind the scenes,\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0never seen it, I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0want to see it \u2014\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0show it. You\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0respect that. At all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cHer behavior doesn\u2019t change,\u201d Sullivan says.<\/p>\n \tThe ill-conceived photoshoots of \u2018America\u2019s Next Top Model\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t \n\tAs \u201cANTM\u201d created more and more drama out of its photoshoots, the show really had some doozies. There was the one when they had to wear meat; there was another in which they had to pose as homeless women, with actual unhoused people. In another setup, they showed the negative impacts of smoking in which they were posed in front of a mirror with a beauty shot \u2014 then the reflected image showed them prematurely aged, or with tumors, or rotted teeth or baldness as a result of chemotherapy. Barker says that, for the most part, no one noticed that these were strange ideas for a show that was meant to project glamour: \u201cFor some reason, no one really\u00a0seemed to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn Cycle 8, the contestants posed as crime-scene victims, dead bodies in various poses. One of them was Dionne Walters, pictured above, whose mother had actually been shot and was paralyzed and in a wheelchair. Producers knew what happened because it was in her application. \u201cI thought it was a coincidence at the time,\u201d Walters says. \u201cBut I don\u2019t think it was.\u201d During the shoot, Manuel tells her, \u201cI love it because your ankle looks broken.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tToday, Mok regrets this concept and says it was a mistake. He tells himself, \u201cYou were an idiot.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAnd then there were the show\u2019s infamous race-swapping photoshoots \u2014\u00a0yes, two of them. In Cycle 4, Manuel was directed to switch up the models\u2019 races and then have them pose with a child of that race. A white woman poses as a Black woman wearing Blackface and a wig \u2014\u00a0and so on. Manuel says he was uncomfortable about it from the beginning, and knew the implications (his parents are both South African). \u201cYou can see\u00a0it on my face,\u201d he says. Banks assured him she\u2019d take the lead, because she \u201cdidn\u2019t think it was controversial.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn Cycle 13, there was a similarly themed challenge, and Banks yells encouragement to a contestant: \u201cThink about Egypt, the people, what they\u2019ve been through!\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cLooking at the\u00a0show now, through the\u00a02020 lens \u2014\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0an issue, and I understand 100% why,\u201d Banks says about the race-swapping concepts.<\/p>\n \t\u2018We were all rooting for you!\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t \n\tEpisode 3 of \u201cReality Check\u201d is titled \u201cRooting for You,\u201d named after the most famous, most GIF\u2019d, most quoted scene in the history of \u201cAmerica\u2019s Next Top Model.\u201d It\u2019s a reference to the ending of the Season 4 episode \u201cThe Girl Who Pushes Tyra Over the Edge\u201d when Banks fully lost her shit on eliminated contestant Tiffany Richardson. <\/p>\n \n\tWhen asked at the top of Episode 3 what her toughest moment on the show had been, Banks thinks about it. \u201cTiffany, maybe?\u201d she\u2019s prompted. The blowup occurred after Richardson had flunked a challenge in which they were supposed to be presenters \u2014\u00a0\u201cNone\u00a0of you girls can read,\u201d judge Janice Dickinson tells them. Richardson had been a semi-finalist the previous season, but got into a fight with a stranger at Barney\u2019s Beanery, who poured beer on her head. You can see this mel\u00e9e in the premiere of Cycle 3, in which Richardson says, \u201cBitch poured beer on my weave!\u201d \u2014 but she had to be eliminated after the public fight. (For a full recounting of Richardson\u2019s \u201cANTM\u201d experience from her perspective, read Michael Blackmon\u2019s BuzzFeed profile of her from December 2017<\/a>.)<\/p>\n \n\tWhen Banks brought Richardson back the next season, she wanted the contestant to rise to the challenge. But after eliminating Richardson, Banks, according to Manuel, was \u201cfeeling like\u00a0Tiffany\u2019s mocking this.\u201d Banks then laid into Richardson, shouting (in part), \u201cWhen my mother yells like this, it\u2019s because she loves me. I was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you!\u201d It was shocking.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cTyra really scared all of us,\u201d Barker says, remembering how it felt. \u201cWe\u00a0literally jumped\u00a0out of our seats: \u2018What is happening right now?\u2019\u201d Mok agrees: \u201cIt was ugly,\u201d and Manuel says that production came and \u201ctook Tyra off the\u00a0set.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBanks reflects on what happened in \u201cReality Check,\u201d saying: \u201cI went too far. You know,\u00a0I lost it. It was\u00a0probably bigger\u00a0than her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tShe continues: \u201cI think all that was in that moment.\u00a0That\u2019s\u00a0some\u00a0Black girl stuff that goes\u00a0real deep\u00a0inside\u00a0of me. But I knew I went too far.\u201d Manuel recalls that the dressing-down was even worse than what was shown on television,\u00a0saying there\u00a0were\u00a0things the audience\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0see\u00a0that \u201cwere\u00a0not well-intentioned\u201d \u2014\u00a0and\u00a0he\u2019ll\u00a0\u201cprobably never repeat\u201d what was said that day.\u00a0Nol\u00e9\u00a0Marin, a judge that season, says, \u201cAll I know is, next week, we\u00a0had all the\u00a0lawyers on set.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cPeople\u00a0have\u00a0tried to make\u00a0it something funny,\u201d Manuel says, bringing the segment to an end. \u201cBut it really\u00a0wasn\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \tDisordered eating and fat-shaming<\/p>\n \t\t\t \n\tThe modeling business is rife with eating disorders and body-shaming, and \u201cAmerica\u2019s Next Top Model\u201d was no different \u2014\u00a0despite Banks\u2019 stated intentions. Season 1 contestant Giselle Samson tells the \u201cReality Check\u201d team that the judges\u2019 assessment of her \u2014\u00a0that\u00a0she\u00a0had a \u201cwide\u00a0ass\u201d and \u201cneeded to tighten up\u201d \u2014\u00a0haunts her still. Those\u00a0comments\u00a0have\u00a0\u201cstayed with me\u00a0forever,\u201d she says. \u201c\u2018Why does\u00a0my ass\u00a0need to be\u00a0so wide?\u2019\u00a0That\u2019s\u00a0how I\u00a0talk\u00a0to myself \u2014 to this\u00a0day.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tFor Keenyah Hill, the Season 4 contestant pictured above, her weight was a theme of the season. During a Seven Deadly Sins challenge, she represented gluttony. When they traveled to South Africa and did an animal challenge, she was cast as an elephant. Janice Dickinson is shown saying, \u201cKeenyah needs\u00a0to lose\u00a0weight. Keenyah needs\u00a0to lose\u00a0weight. Keenyah needs\u00a0to lose\u00a0weight,\u201d and Manuel asks her on camera whether she\u2019s gained weight. Banks says to her, \u201cIf you don\u2019t fit the\u00a0clothes, you don\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn Season 10, Whitney Thompson entered at a size 6. In \u201cReality Check,\u201d she says she learned from the mistake Season 3 contestant Toccara Jones had made, when she complained that none of the clothes fit her, and then was eliminated that week. \u201cIf they\u00a0see\u00a0weakness, you\u2019re\u00a0gone,\u201d Thompson says. She went on to win that season, and weighing\u00a0115\u00a0pounds at\u00a05\u201910, is the first \u201cplus-sized\u201d contestant to win \u201cANTM.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\u2018They just threw me to the wolves\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t \n\tHow ill-equipped \u201cAmerica\u2019s Next Top Model\u201d was to discover America\u2019s actual next top model is illustrated throughout \u201cReality Check.\u201d But it\u2019s winner Danielle Evans who describes exactly what happened to her after she won the sixth season. <\/p>\n \n\tEvans had come from an impoverished background in Little Rock, Arkansas, and the show represented her big chance. So when Banks told her she needed to get the gap in her teeth closed, or she\u2019d be sent home \u2014\u00a0Evans agreed, even though she felt like it detracted from her signature look. (Evans was one of two contestants that season forced to fix her teeth: Joannie Dodds, the runner-up, spent 18 hours in a dentist\u2019s chair, and reports in \u201cReality Check\u201d that she still has dental problems to this day.)<\/p>\n \n\tAfter Evans\u00a0won, and received her cash prize and contract with Ford Models, she moved to New York City, straight into a model apartment. \u201cThey just threw me\u00a0to the\u00a0wolves,\u201d Evans says. Living with other models, she watched them come and go all day, going on castings and booking jobs. The then-up-and-coming model Chanel Iman<\/a> was one of Evans\u2019 roommates, and Iman asked their mutual agent why Evans was never sent on castings: \u201cWe\u00a0have\u00a0to treat\u00a0Dani\u00a0differently because\u00a0she\u00a0came\u00a0from \u2018Top Model,’\u201d the agent said, according to Evans\u2019 recollection. \u201cThat was a hard, hard pill to swallow.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn the pre-influencer world, as it turned out, designers didn\u2019t want Evans (or any \u201cTop Model\u201d graduates) to overshadow their collections. \u201cI knew from very early on, \u2018Oh, \u201cTop Model\u201d has a stigma.’\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBanks, according to Evans, told her years\u00a0later that she knew she\u2019d been struggling \u2014\u00a0and she did nothing\u00a0about it. \u201c\u2019Don\u2019t\u00a0see\u00a0me\u00a0in my\u00a0suffering\u00a0and just walk past me,’\u201d Evans says through tears. \u201cThat\u2019s\u00a0so fucked up!\u00a0They built a whole\u00a0empire, a multi-million dollar\u00a0brand known as\u00a0\u2018America\u2019s\u00a0Next Top Model,\u2019 off the\u00a0backs\u00a0of\u00a0every\u00a0girl\u2019s\u00a0dream that did that\u00a0show. And it never became realized.\u201d<\/p>\n \tThe firings of Miss J, Mr. J and Nigel<\/p>\n \t\t\t \n\tAfter 18 seasons, all shows\u2019 audiences erode \u2014 and \u201cANTM\u201d was no different. It was 2012, and Banks tells the story of the new head of The CW, Mark Pedowitz, calling her repeatedly, and her avoiding his calls. When they finally spoke, he told her that the show\u2019s ratings were dipping, they needed to make a change \u2014\u00a0\u201cand there\u00a0are\u00a0no\u00a0sacred cows,\u201d she says. He\u00a0told her to fire\u00a0Mr. J, Miss\u00a0J and\u00a0Barker.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tOnce they learned the news, they all agreed that there would be a joint press release announcing their departures, but before that happened, Manuel says, there\u00a0was\u00a0a \u201cleak\u201d to Page\u00a0Six\u00a0that Tyra had fired them. Manuel had wanted to quit after Cycle 8, even putting in his notice to Banks, who wrote back, \u201cI am disappointed.\u201d He returned to the series under the threat of being blackballed, he says, and his power ebbed with each season. \u201cWhen I wanted to leave, I wasn\u2019t afforded that,\u201d Manuel says. \u201cI work on the show from Cycles 10 through 18 \u2014 I made so many concessions. That\u2019s the part that\u2019s the most hurtful.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tMiss J and Barker also felt betrayed. \u201cI was\u00a0the\u00a0spine\u00a0of the\u00a0show,\u201d Miss J says. Barker adds, \u201cThat was\u00a0really tough.\u00a0It was\u00a0somewhat mercenary.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI cried myself to\u00a0sleep that night,\u201d Banks says. \u201cBosses\u00a0have\u00a0bosses.\u00a0And the\u00a0big\u00a0boss\u00a0was\u00a0very clear\u00a0\u2014 there\u00a0were\u00a0no\u00a0sacred cows.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe ratings continued to decrease, even as the show amped up its gimmicks: a college edition, Americans v. Brits, adding male models. Eventually, Banks herself was replaced by Rita Ora (who?!)<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThey replaced Tyra,\u201d Mok says mournfully.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tEarlier in the episode, Manuel describes how having given notice changed his relationship with Banks \u2014\u00a0they had been so close, but she froze him out after that. \u201cIt was like psychological torture,\u201d he says. During her sit-down interview, when Banks is asked whether she wants to offer her side of that story, she says, \u201cNah,\u201d and scrunches her face. \u201cI\u2019d\u00a0prefer \u2014 I\u00a0should just\u00a0call\u00a0Jay. I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0want to do this\u00a0here.\u00a0He\u2019s\u00a0a\u00a0special man.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tAccording to a recent interview with Manuel in Interview Magazine<\/a>, Banks has not called him. <\/p>\n \tMiss J\u2019s stroke<\/p>\n \t\t\t \n\tAfter Miss J was fired, he continued working in the extended \u201cANTM\u201d world \u2014even returning to the \u201cAmerica\u2019s Next Top Model\u201d mothership as a judge for Cycle 22 in 2015, and appearing\u00a0on the China and Russia editions of the show. He also worked at the Savannah College of Art and Design, having started coaching students there through Vogue\u2019s Andr\u00e9 Leon Talley beginning in 2003<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tBut on\u00a0Dec. 27, 2022, as revealed in \u201cReality Check,\u201d Miss\u00a0J had a\u00a0stroke. \u201cI\u00a0spent five\u00a0weeks\u00a0in a coma,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u00a0couldn\u2019t\u00a0walk. I\u00a0couldn\u2019t\u00a0talk.\u201d\u00a0Miss J is an interview subject throughout the docuseries, with no visible evidence of his condition, and this reveal \u2014\u00a0which has never been public until today (in fact, Netflix embargoed it until the premiere date) \u2014 packs an emotional wallop. <\/p>\n \n\tBarker and Manuel tell the story of when they first visited Miss J in the hospital. \u201cThat was just such a terrible shock,\u201d Barker says. \u201cAnd really upsetting and horrifying and scary,\u201d adding, \u201cI held him.\u201d Miss J says, \u201cI cried, because I just miss them so much.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cReality Check\u201d then gathers the three of them together on a set \u2014 and Miss J is in a wheelchair. Manuel says to him, \u201cYou\u2019re speaking so much better now.\u201d Barker addresses him, too, saying: \u201cWhen we first saw you in the hospital, you could hardly move, hardly talk. And now you\u2019re sitting up doing an interview \u2014 chatting, talking, rolling your eyes, making us laugh.\u201d Miss J\u2019s face crumples in tears, and Barker puts his arm around him.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI taught models\u00a0how to walk. And now I\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0walk,\u201d Miss J says, and then pauses. \u201cNot yet. Not yet!\u201d\u00a0They all take\u00a0a\u00a0selfie,\u00a0their first one\u00a0since\u00a02019. <\/p>\n \n\tAnd no, though he\u2019s heard from Banks, she\u00a0hasn\u2019t\u00a0visited him. \u201cNo, not yet,\u201d Miss J\u00a0says, \u201cNot yet,\u201d and then lowers\u00a0his\u00a0head, and looks\u00a0over his\u00a0glasses, in one\u00a0of his\u00a0signature\u00a0shady moves.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tAs for Banks, she lives in Australia now \u2014\u00a0she doesn\u2019t say why or what brought her there.\u00a0\u201cI feel like my work is not done,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n \n\tAnd in a manner that almost sounds like a threat, Banks says: \u201cYou have no idea what we have planned for Cycle 25.\u201d\u00a0
