Ok so I was watching some earlier season reruns the other day and I noticed one big difference:

They don't do any challenges at panel anymore.

They used to usually have the girls do something, whether it was name 5 top designers, teeter in towering Vivienne Westwood platforms, or strike a pose.
So now the judges have even less to base their ( Read more... )

I've been rewatching the previous cycles (I haven't seen this cycle as I've given up all hope after Shalesha-geddon) and I have noticed something: Tyra's story about her 'first time on the catwalk' changes every cycle ( Read more... )

I've been discussing with my sister about the "awkward" ANTM contestants and how their work in the competition have impressed us. Heather and Lauren have been described as "different", and they didn't give me good first impressions. But when I got to know them more (after a couple of episodes) I actually found something interesting in them ( Read more... )

Watching the Cycle 4 marathon, I've really been struck by some of the uncharacteristically kind moments Janice has had with Michelle. Of course that observation was just struck down by a moment of pure bitch... but hey, for Janice, she was still being pretty nice.

What are some of your favorite ANTM heart-warmers?

( under a cut for those who haven't seen it )

We are on -- what? the seventh or is it the eighth? -- season of America's Next Top Model? Out of all of those seasons, I have yet to see any "top models" come out of the show. Apparently I am not the only one who feels this way. In this week's Answer Bitch section on eOnline, a reader asks the question about the "Tyra curse" and why her models ( Read more... )

Are there any theories you have about the show? After the Saleisha scandal (Scandaleisha) I wondered ( Read more... )

I was going back and forth with sae16 about how ANTM is one great big contradiction after another and I thought that you guys might be able to join in too.
