Banks is supposedly worried about her image.
Despite a great cast of pint-sized contenders (the final two is better this year than it has been in years), America's Next Top Model is suffering some of its lowest ratings in years. And, according to the New York Daily News, change is in order.

An on-set source claims that former judge Kimora Lee Simmons may return to the judging panel next season. Supposedly, Tyra is obsessed with how people percieve her after both Paulina Porizkova and Janice Dickinson voiced their disdain over working with Banks on the show. She wants to show that she can play nice with other female judges - and that means bringing Kimora back.

Another unconfirmed rumor has Miss J. Alexander leaving the judging room altogether. The source reportedly said, "No one is sure why Miss J has been demoted from being a judge back to just doing the runway coaching."

It's almost definitely money-related. The show's cutbacks are pretty obvious this season: why else would they have sent the girls to Hawaii?
