    He is sharp-tongued.
    He wears skirts.
    He appeared in drag in the series’ third cycle (See photo).
    Although Tyra is the host, his contributions to ’America's Next Top Model’ are very significant.
    He explains the challenges, guides models through assignments and deals first hand with difficult contestants.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He aspired to become an opera singer but went into fashion when he learned it takes a decade to get his singing voice in top condition.
    His appearance in drag successfully fooled the show's contestants.
    He is openly gay.
    He is very personable, not diva-like.
    He helped supermodel Iman develop her own cosmetics line.

    Fans of ’America's Next Top Model’ have become as familiar with him as they are with Tyra.
    In the series’ third cycle, he successfully coached Eva Pigford through a difficult assignment where she had to pose with a tarantula despite her fear of spiders.
    In the series’ fifth cycle, he told the Texas Beauty Queen From Hell to leave the shoot when she refused to cut off one inch of hair.
    He worked extensively in the fashion industry with various photographers, including Herb Ritts and Annie Liebowitz.
