America's Next Top Model
late Sept. The new models are up on the UPN site right now. My picks just by the first photo (this may change) Kyle NIK Sarah I'm dissapointed in the heights this year, was hoping for more fashion types. Over all the models are better then the previous episodes (IMO) Twiggy it appears has taken Janices place...I assume because Janice upstaged Tyra and Tyra likes the limelight...Twiggy will I assume let Tyra be the star. I still dont see anything that resembles a top model but oh-well, it's just reality TV. Aug 19 05 09:57 pm Link bump Aug 19 05 10:00 pm Link Thanks Mary-  Janice was my favorite. I just love the show for the advice, and the shoot/makeup inspirations.  -Dana Aug 19 05 10:10 pm Link Alright, so I'm going to put my opinions here hah... Ashley ~ I like her look, but her personality is kind of ... I don't know... It seems like she's trying to be a lot better than she is... I don't know... She seems kind of... fake. Bre ~ I think she's too cute to be a top model. She's a LOT like me personality wise. ... And cleanliness wise haha... But yeah I think I like her just because we're so much alike (plus, I'm too cute to be a top model, too haha) Cassandra ~ I love her. ... Her shoulders are a little stiff when she walks, but I really like her. (maybe I'm just partial to her because she's from Houston, though... Haha...) Coryn ~ I don't like her. ... She's boring, and I don't think she's that pretty. ... Totally just my opinion, though. Diane ~ Her look is ok. I like her accent. ... But her personality kinda gets annoying ... Ebony ~ I don't like her nose hah ... It's unique, but I don't like it. ... Her personality is kind of ... jumpy haha... if that makes sense... she just kinda annoys me ... Jayla ~ OMG THAT WALK!!! Looks like she's going to kill someone haha ... But I do like her personality ... and when she's talking about herself, she seems a lot like most of my friends which is kind of scary hahahaha ... but I love how she changes her appearance. .. It's a lot like me. Kim ~ I don't like her. ... I think she looks like a boy. I don't really like her personality. ... It's like she's trying to be better than everyone else because she's smart. Kyle ~ I think she's gorgeous. ... I like her personality. It's a LITTLE fake, but not too bad. ... I love her body, though. Lisa ~ I think she's really pretty and she cracked me up at the end, but maybe a little too... I don't know... over the top. ... She moves around a lot when she talks, too hah... Nicole ~ She's pretty, but again, too cute for a top model. ... I like her personality, but maybe it's a little too concieted. ... Nik ~ I like her a lot. ... I think she's gorgeous. ... Very unique looking. ... Her head moves a little too much on her walk. ... But other than that, I like her. ... And plus her favorite foods are Gumbo and Cheese which are 2 of my favorite foods haha Sarah ~ I really like her. I think she's beautiful. I love her personality. ... She's great. That's my take on what I've seen so far. Aug 19 05 11:25 pm Link Oct 06 05 04:26 pm Link Curse you, beisbol! Been very very bad to me!! Nik, Bre, and the L.A. chick who won the farm shots are my personal favorites. The winner, I'll make a guess after I can find this week's airing.

If you go to Fordmodels.com and click on Women, not the commercial women, but WOMEN, you'll find the girls there and their stats. I was shocked to know that on Top Model they said that Eva wa 5'7. I'm 5'7 1/2 but I dont think i'll ever say I'm 5'8, that half makes a difference. Oct 06 05 05:32 pm Link is it just me, or do the new batch of girls look like drag queens in their photos? Oct 06 05 07:17 pm Link I like the show because they worship photographers. Everything wrong in a photo is the model's fault. ^_^ Oct 06 05 11:01 pm Link I haven't ever sat down and watched each season or episode, only because I don't have time. But I've seen many repeats on VHI. AND I like Nik and Lisa from the new season. I like the lesbian's looks, but I don't like her attitude. I'm glad the beauty queen girl left- she sucked her attitude was SO outta control. I like watching the chicks with bad attitudes-it's so dramatic, but I wouldn't want to live with them. It may be unrealistic, yatta-yatta.. . so everyone says. I say, I'm trying out. AND I don't think anyone realistically expects all the winners to automatically be stars, but the purpose is to get them in the spotlight so they have a better opportunity. Of course Tyra is going to praise her show, and say that she expects all the "Amer. Next Top Model" Winners to be "Top Models" -that's just marketing, (could you blame her) and if she said any different it would take away from the show's validity. I can't help but wonder if the "best" shots are really the "best" shots of the models. And I also wonder if they manipulate which shots they chose, in order to eliminate certain models from the competition, who don't create the desired character-mix they need for ratings?

Oct 07 05 02:22 pm Link Shannon (the runner-up from season 1) is still listed with Heyman Talent in Cincy, Ohio. Did anyone else just want to slap the crap out of Cassandra over the whole hair issue. Stupid quitter. Oct 09 05 04:26 pm Link Janice is coming back at least for one show. Oct 09 05 11:18 pm Link Aimercat wrote: Yes. Very much so. But if you can't deal with getting your hair cut, you have no business being a model, so good riddance. Oct 10 05 12:14 am Link So the pageant girl and the lippy got the boot? I've missed every show where they cut two people simultaneously. Pageant girl was an idiot for not making the best of things after they cut her hair. Now she's cut and walking around with a doo she doesn't like. I guess I'll have to read the recap for lippy getting cut. Probably, no skill but then they've have to cut them all.

(Photos here: http://www.upn.com/shows/top_model5/p_g … p=05&fd=01) What stood out to me most is that she spent 4 years being the bitch, and after she left the show as a judge, she said that none of the models had what it took to be professional, but while she was shooting, all she was full of compliments and glowing praises for the models. Somehow I doubt that if she were not the photographer, she would not have been so kind. Any thoughts? Oct 13 05 06:54 am Link Everyone does realize that show IS basically fake right? It's reality based not reality. All "reality TV" is only lightly based on reality. They bring people in to make an entertaining show and use abstract pieces of reality to stirr things up. Playing voice clips over video that isn't really connected to what's going on. The models get exposure, the producers paint what ever image they feel like. In the end the models are essentially starting from scratch since they don't get to use any of the content from the show. Very few reality shows stick closely to reality. I've known a few people who were on these shows. The only reason the truth doesn't come out is because the "actors/actresses" are under contract not to share the full details while it's going on. It's fine if it entertains you, just don't let it manipulate you... Oct 13 05 02:07 pm Link Champion wrote: Yes.

Oct 13 05 03:33 pm Link hey, the height requirments is up tot he agent and location. exp: elite in nyc wants 5'9 elite in miami wants 5'7 also depend on what type of modelin gou do. Oct 20 05 08:13 pm Link maybe i should move to miami and go to elite there. NY is so demanding Oct 20 05 08:17 pm Link Ugh, I finally saw an episode from this round. Those girls are ALL going nowhere fast. And they don't know their a$$ from their elbows. Dumb and Dumber. And yeah, obviously Janice is going to be full of compliments when she is the photographer. How would you expect to get good shots if you are rude to the models? In addition, take notice of the fact that these girls are nothing special, to say the least. Get them into hair and makeup and they shine. Hair and makeup. Hair and makeup. Oct 20 05 09:16 pm Link Tracey Masterson wrote: hahahahahahahahha, i agree! hair and makeup does wonders! Oct 20 05 09:51 pm Link Anyone see Cassandra on Tyra's talk show? Wow, that was a spectacle. Oct 21 05 03:54 pm Link Living in LA we've met a a lot of people that work in the reality tv industry. Most of it is fake. They don't completely script out the shows but if the show isn't going in the right direction they do have script writers that give them lines and scenarios to act out. If I remember correctly I believe the reality tv script writers want a union but the tv shows are fighting it cuz it gives away their dirty secret. Also about ANTM I know a casting photographer in LA. The Ford models that come through for the casting calls informed him that that ANTM hired Ford models for the elimination rounds. So the girls you see pouting and crying that they didn't go through to the finals were actually already professional models. Oct 21 05 05:59 pm Link My vote is for Kyle or Nicole.

Just because it wont make you into a supermodel doesnt mean you should rule it out Oct 22 05 02:10 am Link My vote is for Miss J. Oct 22 05 07:19 am Link M Chorak wrote: I work on reality shows, No scripting of the talent. That doesnt mean that they don't bring up scenerios to cause drama (like, lets take them all out for a night of drinking)...they do. But really there is no acting involved, no lines, nothing like that....EXCEPT. Sometimes something will be said and for some reason they have to reshoot the spot...the person may be asked to repeat it with the same expression...this doesn't normally work well and so isn't used often. The only one with lines is the host. Oct 22 05 07:44 pm Link Mary - really? that must be so cool to work on those! I know that I must be pretty naive, but i do think a lot of it is real - sometimes those people are just too good for it to be fake... Julia Oct 22 05 10:18 pm Link Aimercat wrote: I'm pretty certain that they get the portfolio pics, probably with the show's logo all over them. And Janice as a photographer was hilarious. Very entertaining. And her looks? Good god, she's looking like the CatWoman. It sucks to be a woman past her prime. I hope I don't look like that at her age. Oct 22 05 11:31 pm Link NEVER underestimate the power of a skilled editor. The real key to how a person is perceived lies in the editing. Even the nicest person in the world can be made to seem at the very least terse and standoffish if that's what a good editor wants. Oct 23 05 01:52 am Link it's all in the editing.
