It's hard to believe that we're up to Cycle 12 of ANTM! Super helpful model mentor Jay Manuel has always been a staple on the show, giving each contestant the guidance she needs to make it to the top. He sees the models at their best and worst on set, so naturally he has all the gossip we need about our fave reality show. Read on as Jay dishes to us about who he thought started the most drams in past seasons and how the judging goes down on the show.

What kind of drama can we expect this season?
There is no shortage of drama, I can say that. There are some new back stories -- like last cycle talking about Isis, it created a very interesting story, and I think it was an interesting story to put out on television.
