gwysham-815-939881 Oh, how I miss the days of Nigel, Mr. Jay, and Miss Jay! I respected the opinions and judgments of those guys. These days, it seems that the show is less about fashion and more about fads. And I'm sorry, but I find Kelly Cutrone a frumpy, grumpy, lump, while Johnny Wujek just needs to take off those stupid hats and dress like a grown-up! I am willing to live with the in-house dramas (and flirtations, in this season) because I find the fashion shoots interesting; I'm not sure I'm willing to put up with the social media hype and the unimpressive "experts" on top of that. This will be my last season of being an ANTM fan—unless most of the cast is fired and the old crew brought back.

Brad Olson It's not a decent modeling base obviously and Tyra herself is not that big of a supermodel that she thought of herself to be but how can you hate this show? (Now, yes. But let's go back to 2004- early 2008)The best thing about this show is the girls. These girls shared the same dream with an amount of the female population. Each one comes from a different background. Each one has a different set of assets and tastes. All are put together in a beautiful mansion (some cycles). Girls' age ranges from 18 to 26 going through an emotional experience no matter if they've wanted it since they were 8 or just a few months before they participated. Because it's a weird competition, the 6-week period is going to have a big impact whether they like it or not. And us folks from outside get to catch a glimpse of it.It's a career-based reality TV which demands a lot of tension. It started off very promising though does not deliver. We'd see passionate young women who aren't in it just for the sake for "one in a lifetime experience" or Tyra Banks or because they're homeless at the moment or a TV personality kind of fame or a 100,00-dollar-check (although that couldn't hurt) or for a man. We get to see what they are about. They are by far seem more realistic than ones from other shows. Sad thing is if the girl is against Tyra's will in some way such as the weight factor and the Tyra-will-do-something-with-your-hair-even-if-it-is-for-the-worse factor and the future career factor, she'll in eliminated for contrived reasons by Miss Banks. And it's frustrating to watch. Miss Tyra exaggerated modeling industry, added in a bunch of weird, unrealistic stuff when she's not even a real good "supermodel" herself. Nevertheless, it's still watchable. The show featured superstar athletes, musicians, bartenders, waitresses, rich kids, young mothers, painters, college students, high schoolers in senior year, shopkeepers, strippers, former models, Jesus freaks and more. Some aren't doing what they really want to do. Some are doing just fine but want to model as well. The contestants get to find out more about everything through fellow contestants. Some of them become and stay best friends for life; they've become bridesmaids and godmothers. Some of them find out more about one another and leave. Some girls had a lesbian crush on fellow contestants. They are excluded from the outside world. They only have phones and packages from people at home and rare occasional visits in case they win reward challenges. Though they'll be judged individually, they have to have friends in the house. It creates a very interesting dynamic. In some cycles, there'd be one girl whom all the other contestants root for in case they don't win or one girl that nobody could stand. A lot of them are hilarious. A lot of them are deep and cultured. Some have blemished history. Some are very adorable. Some are affected and annoying. Some of them are very strange and dull to the point we think they're fake. Some are mentally limited bitches. Some are crazy and wacky. The editing absolutely tweaks how these girls really are but if we look closely and pay attention from the beginning that they get little air times, we won't be surprised by their "people from home"'s comments and social networks' pages. They're inspiring and memorable and very cool despite the fact that they could disguise as pretty 16-year-old mall rats. These are the only people from reality shows that I become real fans of. Can't deny that it has a lot to offer to the audience and a couch potato like me.It kinda gets girls who usually wouldn't audition for reality shows that have a lot to do with personalities such as Survivor or to be a subordinate such as Hell's Kitchen and The Apprentice end up showing their personalities. The antics that they make, the little games they play, the night outs that they go, so they can chill and take their minds of the competition are real.

mkozaiti "Americans Next Top Model" is the best reality show! I was entertained 99.9 percent of the time watching it.I kept my eyes open the entire time. (well, I did blink) It can be sad, funny, or addicting.(mostly addicting)"America's Next Top Model" kept me wanting more and that's pretty much the point. It is also on more that one channel. Sometimes it's on MTV other times it's not. I hope it gets more fans and grows to be a hit series! It's great for pretty much all ages so every can enjoy it! :)Also, if you watched the show before, haven't you noticed that Tyra has a different hair style each time in the judging room? She'll have it short and curly one week, and then long and straight the next.

djdekok This is by far the most vapid, idiotic, insanely stupid show that has EVER been on the air, and this is coming from someone who remembers "San Pedro Beach Bums".My wife loves watching reality shows--and there was one episode of this drivel where the wannabes had to develop a "walk". The end result was straight out of Monty Python's "Ministry of Silly Walks" sketch. I couldn't laugh hard enough.And then there's the ubiquitous Ms. Banks (as in laughing all the way to the...). She has to be the most annoying self-important woman on TV since Rosie O'Donnell left "The View". As if modeling was doing great things for mankind. Please. I've never found her attractive, and I don't find her intelligent now that she has the temerity to open her mouth.Someone needs to tell these human clothes hangers to eat a healthy diet and actually look like real women.
