What changes would you make to ANTM?

[ossum_pawesome]

If you could, how would you make ANTM better? (Being realistic here, of course.) Please support your reasoning.

For me, I would:

1. Make no eliminations until after the second photo shoot. I was watching the C8 marathon this past weekend, and Kathleen said if she was eliminated first, it would feel like she wasn't really given a chance. I think it's

I agree with everything except #3. Because really, makeover drama is the best episode of the season! Some girls have to get fugged for the sake of ratings! XD

i dont care about any of the drama. i think the girls should take a picture, film a runway challenge, and then spend the rest of the episode going over each picture and the film. i dont believe tyra when she says "THIS WAS YOUR ONLY GOOD PICTURE." i was to see all of them, and decide who has the overall best film, not who has the one best picture from luck or favoritism.

Agreed. Especially because as it was once mentioned, a girl who needs dozens of pictures to get ONE good shot isn't going to be as desirable as the one who takes MANY good shots.

[ohmetalheart]

definitely see more shots from their film. have more photoshoots that actually become ads or whatnot.

I'd even like to have the girls pick THEIR favorite from their own film too- that would be interesting!

The final runway almost seems arbitrary to me. They focus so little on walking throughout the season, yet runway is their "final exam."

This isn't my idea; I read someone else suggest this in a different post. I'd like to see the selection process for choosing the girls' "best shot."

I saw what you said about the final runway challenge, and I thought I was the only one! It does seem a tad unfair.

And often the better walker doesn't win anyway. ::cough::Cycle 7::cough::

I agree very strongly with number 1, and I would also like to see eliminations be based on a more comprehensive review of their whole body of work- I hate seeing girls who generally kick ass getting the boot for one lousy week. Personally, I prefer the dramatic tension of a one-on-one walkoff at the end, but I would prefer to end the practice of having the last two eliminations in one regular-length episode. Also, number 3 will never, ever happen, because the producers love the drama that ensues when a girl hates her new look

this was such a good post! i hadn't thought of a lot of that before (meaning the timing of beauty/runway/high fashion) and i agree with all of it!
