Watching the first show of the season is always a bit fun because we get to see the judges just rip apart the poorly dressed and the bad attitudes.  Most of the final 13 weren’t really poked at much, but there were a couple of them that needed to “redress” themselves in front of the judges.

One scarf had to be removed and earrings that reminded Tyra of “bracelets” needed to be removed quickly while the models stood there.  It always amazed me that none of the models really act out about the comments from the judges.  I know that you should most likely listen to the comments, but there are such attitudes on the show already, I figured one would have a word or two in defense.  So far, none have.

Looking back on earlier cycles I see that the producers love to pick a couple “staples” to be in the house.  You have to have the bad attitude (Sandra), the “weird” one (Allison, London) and, of course, the quite one that sits back and watches (ala McKey from cycle 11).  This adds a bit of drama and we know that is a part of reality TV, so the audience just deals with it.

I am not sure the show would be any fun if you didn’t get to see the models that don’t stand out.  Would you watch American Idol without the geeks, weirdos and those with shameless plugs?  Exactly.

It was nice to see Tyra get a little “listen hear fashion lady that doesn’t know fashion models” on some of the models.  I just think that if you REALLY want to be a model, there is some studying involved.  It doesn’t always get you to the final show, but it will help you throughout that’s for sure.
