I USED TO love ANTM----but, then it got to be all about cat-fights, and I just don't have time, for that. (The very FIRST "Top Model", married "Peter Brady" [I forget his REAL name]; but, I think they're divorced, now.)
I read / looked-at all your posts on the TV / Film Forum, regarding ANTM.
I've always been a HUGE fan of fashion----in the "I love to design it", sense; NOT the "I need Michael Kors' new bag", sense----I've been reading "Vogue" since I was, like, 12. I'm a HUGE fan of "Project Runway", and own 6 seasons----all of which, I've watched about a hundred times, EACH!
I'm not really a fan of Tyra Banks, though; I think she's "a poser"----as in, I think she thinks she's "all that, and a bag of chips", but she's NOT, IMO!!
Yeah, I agree ANTM is not what it used to be. Yes, the first ANTM winner, Adrianne Curry, got married to Christopher who plays Peter Brady, they divorced a few years ago.
I don't mind Tyra. I actually think she is quite fun to have as a host but each cycle the show gets more and more ridiculous. While on Australia's NTM the girls are given real modelling challenges, shooting with top fashion photographer and walking for the biggest names in the industry, on America's NTM the contestants are set stupid challenges and taught how to "SMIZE" and "TOOCH" and the way the show is edited sucks. ANTM has become a complete joke and not many of the contestants have gone on to become real top models. I tend to prefer the international versions of the show to the original now. Australia's Next Top Model, Germany's Next Topmodel, Korea's Next Top Model and Top Model Poland are in my opinion some of the best spin-offs.
