This week, the entire hour was dedicated to highlights from this season thus far. Since I’ve been covering this season, I don’t really feel a need to reopen old wounds. So this week, I’m just going to give some of my thoughts on the show as a whole. I have my top ten Pros and Cons/Pet Peeves relating to America’s Next Top Model. And remember folks, this is just my opinion.
Pros
- This show gives hope to millions of young ladies who would otherwise see themselves as mediocre. Tyra does a good job of relaying the message that “natural is best”.
- Nigel Barker.
- Tyra stands up for us thick girls. Even the ones we don’t agree are thick.
- Jay Alexander, Jay Manuel. Very entertaining, and seem like they’d be fun to hang out with.
- The winner is usually someone who actually deserves it.
- Nigel Barker
- The ladies are given constructive criticism.
- This season everyone could at least walk in heels. Guess they’d seen the show before.
- The show embraces all ethnicities.
- Did I mention Nigel Barker?
Cons/Pet Peeves
- Every season there is a young lady that wants to be a model more than anything only to complain through the whole show about the process.
- Twiggy should get more air time. I think she may be able to coach the ladies.
- It comes on while I’m trying to watch Kid Nation.
- The ladies keep the house like a pigsty.
- I’m not Jay Manuel’s type.
- They sob-story mystery illnesses that get some girls on the show seem to go away during filming.
- No one addresses the fact that some of the ladies are too thin. Like Jaslene, last year’s winner. Beautiful girl. Deserved to win. But way too thin.
- Dani had to lose her southern accent, but Jaslene and that Russian chick didn’t.
- The resident “witch” every season. I wonder if she’s kept for the drama.
- Nigel Barker’s wife.
