The eleventh cycle of America's Next Top Model premiered on September 3, 2008 and was the fifth season to be aired on The CW network. The promotional catchphrase of the cycle was "Feel The Love."
This cycle included a first for the series – having a transgender contestant named Isis King participate and qualify for the final fourteen. The inclusion has been noted as an "unprecedented opportunity" by Neil Giuliano, President of GLAAD, a national LGBT media advocacy group.
