So I've been gone for a bit. Blame finals week. After that was done, I celebrated finals week ending with lots and lots of alcohol. And now it's spring break! And I'm not going anywhere with sand or waves so that's about as much as I'm willing to say on the subject.
Anyb*tch, the new seasons of CW's America's Next Top Model and Bravo's Make Me a Supermodel started a few weeks back and I'm watching both. Tyra's on to her twelfth cycle (ridiculous) and the show is still as entertaining as ever. Anyone who's watched as much ANTM as me knows Tyra picks half the girls for their modeling potential and the other half for comedic value. And, Tyra certainly knows how to pick 'em! I really don't think any of the girls will be successful as models, with the exception of maybe Sandra, who's gorgeous but also a raging b*tch. Self-proclaimed 'Blaxican,' Fo, is super-duper cute, but models are not, so... yeah.
Make Me a Supermodel, on the other hand, is actually what one would expect a modeling competition to be, and then some. I've been saying for years that Tyra should put aspiring male models on her show as well; her core audience is undoubtedly made up of females and gay men who would definitely appreciate some hard pectorals and dreamy jawlines thrown in amongst the catty b*tchfights. Make Me a Supermodel incorporates said dreamy jawlines AND actually makes some semblance of sense. MMAS, 2, ANTM, 0. Top Model, however, has Tyra Banks, our favorite, industrious ex-supermodel who hasn't a modicum of sanity left to her name. Tyson Beckford, though hella fine, simply cannot compete. And besides, how many shows, silly modeling competitions or otherwise, stay on the air for twelve seasons these days?
Top Model has definitely had some cool photo shoots over the years, but I found this idea from MMAS particularly sweet. Here's some eye candy (lame a** pun intended) from a recent episode.
P.S. I ♥ Colin.

So, because of this post, I just watched all of season 1's mmasm. I definitely think some of the competition is more legit, but its just so....subdued. And I know its just because I've seen 12 cycles of antm, but it feels so...lacking.
But my biggest problem with it is that they don't show you the pictures much and whenever there was a video we never got to see it. That bothered the crap outta me. How were we supposed to know how good of a model they were when we never got to see their pictures! I think that's one reason why Shannon got sent home so fast and Perry was out first in the final. Because we never really saw their final products. Also Nikki Taylor is too normal. I love Tyson tho. He works it! The panel in general, seems a bit more legit...just a bit tho. ;)
I watched the first few episodes of the first season, but I couldn't really get into it. They've made some tweaks and changes for this season and the show really does work a lot better.
And can you believe I forgot to send my picks in for FantAge this week?! Damn spring break partying!!
