The Fiercee Awards was a 2008 special episode of "The Tyra Banks Show" that aired on May 14, 2008.[1] The special was supposedly going to be an annual event, but this was the only one made. It features contestants from the first ten cycles as presenters or nominees, with Tyra hosting and Mr. Jay presenting on the red carpet. Other alumni attendees include Benny Ninja, Jim De Yonker, Roy Campbell and Sutan Amrull (aka Raja),
The full show can be found on YouTube in five parts, with all having about 30,000-50,000 views each as of 2021.[2] This show was eventually used as the concept for a photoshoot in Cycle 11.
