America's Next Top Model

Being drawn to reality shows is really something i feel i am a little addicted to. I try my best to keep away from them but i do find watching other peoples trials and tribulations makes my own look trivial! America's Next Top Model is a show presented by model Tyra Banks, that takes a group of mainly stick thin women (although the odd normal size 12-14 is thrown in for good measure) and dwindles the numbers down to about 12 women who each week have different photo shoots and are judged by some of the most outrageous people i have ever seen, who decided which person should be eliminated. Miss J Alexander, who is actually a Mr but acts like a ...  Read the complete review

I got into ANTM at about series 3. I'm not quite sure why it appealed to me although my partner does joke that I'd watch football if someone got voted off at the end of every match. The format is that Tyra Banks searches the country for about 12 young girls with model potential. Then with the help of Mr J (shoot director) and Miss J (runway expert - he is a man though in case you're wondering) and a variety of people from the industry they put them through their paces and each week send a girl home, until they have found America's Next Top Model. The girls are generally quite silly and bitchy, a lot are very young and don't know anything about ...  Read the complete review

At 10am each weekday morning, the Living Channel shows America's Next Top Model. It is a show that my wife has watched since it first started near the beginning of this decade. It essentially is a talent contest much like any other that we see, such as X Factor or Britain's Got Talent. The only difference is that they're not looking for singers or performers in this sense, they're looking for someone to potentially be the next supermodel. The show is hosted by Tyra Banks, who is also the main judge and heads the panel. I like the way this works, as we have someone presenting the show who is an expert as opposed to someone who is just a good presenter. I feel ...  Read the complete review

I LOVE Americas Next Top Model. I work from home so i watch it every day at 10AM on living. Luckily it is repeated at 11 on living+1 and at 12 on living+3 so there is no chance of missing it! For me it is the perfect light entertainment tv programme. I'm a photographer and have dabbled with a bit of alternative modeling in the past. I also love bitchy reality TV. And this is a wonderful mixture of the two. The girls are always great entertainment and I really enjoy stealing makeup ideas and fancy dress costumes from the photo shoots! I watched Britains Next Top Model this year and there is no comparison. The girls just weren't as interesting and the ...  Read the complete review

This is NOT "Americas-Next-Top-Best-Friend".....famous last words spoken by a particularly ambitious, deluded and very self confident but strangely compelling contestant named Jade. America's Next Top Model...reality TV at it's finest. And we all know that the American's do it bigger and better than us Brits. With season (or "cycle", as the American's call it) 12 about to air on Living TV - who have UK exclusivity on airing the show - I thought now is a better time than any to review the show. The premise of the program is largely based around a group of between 12-15 (it has varied from season to season) girls/women competing to ...  Read the complete review
