Cycle 2

Cycle 2 of Ballyhoo's Next Top Model, subtitled “Play the Music!”, premiered on Discord on February 12, 2024. It was the sophomore season of the grand series, showing that Ballyhoo's format was successful enough to launch a franchise that would continue for many many cycles to come.
The judging panel of Ballyhoo, joined by Big Top, Rokuro Yang, and Sarah, stayed consistent. This cycle is notable for being the first to implement Guest Judges, which all following cycles would do as well. Notable guest judges included Pi-Pi, who won the first cycle, as well as Monomi and Kayla Banks who were famous for hosting other AI Next Top Models on Discord.
The Cycle's unique theme was Music, with every photoshoot pre-overseas being tied to music in some way. The Cycle's Overseas Location was New Orleans, Louisiana in the USA.
Taria Aksuq was crowned as the winner of the cycle in a portfolio battle against Hammah Baker.
