Britain's Next Top Model
Now, no offense to British women, some of whom are very lovely indeed. But I just watched that "British Invasion*" thing the other night and my level of impressed-ness was so slight as to escape detection by modern science. Out of the whole of Britain, THAT was the best they could do? What's UP with that? I mean, the quality of the American contestants hasn't always been what one would expect from a country the size of the US either, but come on. Most of them were rather dull, and the ones who weren't dull were unattractive (on a model level, that is.) Also, I never would have believed it, but some of them managed to make accents not-charming. They sounded like their jaws were wired shut and had vocabularies in the triple digits. I must admit that when my wife asked me, "Why don't British women open their MOUTHS when they talk," I answered, "Bad teeth," which was a TOTALLY SCURRILOUS AND UNFAIR THING TO SAY. It was funny, though. M *This was basically the whole first cycle of BNTM condensed to a two-hour special for American broadcast. Dec 15 06 10:51 am Link It seems a bit more like Fear Factor than ANTM with the crap the models have to go through like the ice shower and getting their own hair thrown at them.

Dec 15 06 11:02 am Link PEASE EL - not while I drinking coffee!!! we watched it also and frankly i was surprised that they found 12 girls with good teeth... the winner will have 15 minutes then bye bye. the "events" and tests they go through are totally laughable............. now we need to see how your hair flows so jump out of this plane......... thanks a lot tyra for creating this crap.... at least Janice was openingly laughable, when she sobered up I bet she laughed at her own show... and any gal that likes getting neeked that much is my kind of gal... Dec 15 06 11:09 am Link StMarc wrote: No of course not. But Brits have wizened up to "reality TV" to the point that they probably had to offer a free lunch and drinks to get the ones they did. Brit BB was a freak show and got worse every season... and so is BNTM divided equally between those "contestants" with no hope and those with no chance...

Dec 15 06 12:24 pm Link The program is a load of bollocks... but we're not all like that! Dec 15 06 12:37 pm Link PIC wrote: I disagree!!!!

And then there's "Make Me a Supermodel" on Ch5. The D R A M A O F I T ALL! Blah! Dec 15 06 01:24 pm Link I thought there was something wrong with my TV. The camera work was terrible too. We are lucky to be in the USA They should do a ANTM Canada. From what I have seen on MM Wow.... Eric Dec 15 06 01:35 pm Link Both shows are entertainment, not reality. Given that, Tyra's show is much better entertainment. Dec 15 06 02:20 pm Link I can't believe I watched the whole thing, it was pretty awful. One of the girls was even accused of peeing the bed. Are they 5? Ew. Dec 15 06 08:38 pm Link PIC wrote: I find that racist and offensive and I demand that you be either thrown into the brig or forced to listen to Westlife for 16 hours straight. Dec 15 06 09:41 pm Link I was really disappointed in the makeup artists work and the filming. It made all of the photos look grainy. I did like the frog and princess shoot though. Unfortunately, I am a reality TV junkie so I will not be able to restrain myself from watching again. Dec 15 06 09:46 pm Link It was all shot on cheap DV and the guys had a day to post process after each shoot. The girl that wins has gone on to do lots of stuff - I've seen here in a bunch of magazines. But she does now walk around with a dog in a bag which kinda crimps her style.

Almost a big as I do for admitting that I was the only stills photographer that covered Yorkshire TV's Naked Jungle production.

I don't mind admitting that I work for Thumbsup, I got paid several thousand pounds for each series and, more importantly, get contacts like Jonathan Phang, Karen Diamond, Eric Rodriquez, Hilary Alexander etc, etc. All very, very useful stuff. Dec 17 06 11:28 am Link is it the British dentists \ Health Service or what that started this rumour about the teeth i want to know where it comes from!! its true my dentists in London are from New Zealand (the best) but are the English ones supposed to be no good? after all - we get them free - so why the idea they have bad teeth in UK!!?!!
