The new season of America's Next Top Model premiered on January 8, marking its 24th cycle. In a preview of tonight's episode posted by PEOPLE, a few of the contestants get into a heated debate about feminism. Liberty Netuschil of Idaho and Kyla Coleman of Washington lead the argument, with others joining.

The battle over feminist ideology starts with Kyla, who recounts an early memory where she was not able to play baseball with the boys. "That was the first time I realized boys and girls aren't equal," she said.


Liberty, who ties her beliefs to being a Republican, disagrees. "I'm still a woman. I'm very much different than a man, so to be treated the same as him sometimes I don't agree with," she says, responding to Kyla. In a solo moment to the camera, she adds, "I do believe in a lot of things Republicans talk about and what they're representing."

In Kyla's solo moment to the camera, she makes a jab at Liberty, and says, "Liberty... I don't know if she thinks before she says things."

The preview ends with Kyla giving Liberty the finger. You can watch the full video on PEOPLE.

There are 15 contestants this season with four judges: Tyra Banks, plus-size model Ashley Graham, Paper Magazine's Drew Elliott, and stylist Law Roach. Get to know a little more about Kyla and Liberty below the cut.

Age: 20

Hometown: Lava Hot Springs, ID

Liberty Netuschil moved to Los Angeles at 18 to pursue either radiology or modeling, according to her personal website. (Hint: she stuck with modeling). She later found success as a blogger before landing on America's Next Top Model. She's earned a ton of buzz for being ANTM's pro-Trump contestant, but has since claimed her views have changed. In a lengthy Instagram post, she writes, "I am pro America and I will not stand by someone who, in the beginning, I thought was a positive change for us."

Age: 20

Hometown: Lacey, WA

There isn't too much information online about Kyla Coleman, which is refreshingly odd for a TV personality and model. The Olympian, a local news outlet based out of Olympia, WA, published an article saying the ANTM contestant had graduated from River Ridge High School in Coleman's hometown in 2015. Apart from that, what you see on her Instagram is what you get.

Tonight's episode will air at 8 p.m. EST on VH1.

Apparently, a bloodthirsty, man-eating plant wasn't horrifying enough for one Texas school district. The real nightmare? A girl playing Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors.

The cult-favorite horror-comedy follows a meek flower shop worker whose ambitions take a deadly turn when his unusual plant develops an appetite for human flesh. South Grand Prairie High School senior Ana Mota, 17, earned the role of Seymour after four days of auditions.

Far-right weasel Ben Shapiro has apparently pulled one over on beloved Mexican-American actor Danny Trejo, and now the actor is legally trapped.

That's according to Trejo's son, who says his dad was duped by Shapiro (and, from the sounds of it, his own management) into appearing in a pro-ICE movie called Pawn Shop that Shapiro is producing.

MTG Brutally Rips Trump Administration's 'Bullsh*t' Move To Try To Deport Ilhan Omar After Raid

On Monday, Markwayne Mullin's Department of Homeland Security agents searched the Washington D.C. home of Minnesota Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar under the direction of the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump. Representative Omar has been a vocal critic of Trump's overreach and illicit activities since his first term as President.

As a woman, a Muslim, a BIPOC, and a naturalized citizen who came to the United States as a child refugee of the war in Somalia, Representative Omar has been a favorite target of the racist, misogynist, White supremacist, Christian nationalist MAGA movement. She's endured repeatedly debunked lies about her background and verbal attacks, including from Trump, and physical assaults.

Supercut Of White House Press Secretary Repeatedly Calling Herself A Lawyer Goes Viral After It's Revealed She Failed Bar Exam

So there's yet another new press secretary at the White House, a Trump Administration post that has hosted some of the right's biggest and brightest lunatics.

But none of them hold a candle to Katie Zacharia, who could barely get out a sentence at her first briefing and claims to be a "lawyer" despite, well, not being. Zacharia has taken her fib so far that she claimed to the press she took the bar in China—which is not a thing.
