Finally I was able to watch my recorded 2 hour premier of America’s Next Top Model.  The show is the longest because they take about 30 girls and narrow them down to 13, in the first hour!  I was impressed with some of the woman they chose to begin with, but I must remember that each one had “model” properties in some way.

After watching some really “weird” contestants speak their piece and seem to try to get to know the other girls, it was sort of fun watching their dreams get crushed!  The first part of the show is always quite easy, but it’s really a way for the judges to narrow the field down, quickly.  I simple photo shoot and runway walk, is a pretty good way to get an idea of what you are dealing with.

Photos and Faceoffs

There were some really nice photos and, of course, some really bad runway walks, but the field was narrowed down to about 20 right after the runway test.  The girls were in Vegas and given the name of Greek Goddesses, like the Goddess of Madness, then had to pose portraying said goddess.  Most of them did quite good, but you could see the ones not making the effort, right away.

Then you have Sandra, she is from Africa (mentions it 1,000 times) and gets all weird around Angela (from Buffalo).  She was eyeballin’ Angela the whole show because she could tell she had some sort of attitude.  So when Angela rolled her eyes at Sandra, it was time to get all “lady like”.  The argued, cut each other down, pointed fingers and put hands in faces for a good 5 minutes.  Jay Alexander broke it up and asked WTF?  Just turn away and be a lady, is what he should have said.

Drama is Never Bad TV

I liked to see the drama, but it was over quickly when Angela was sent home.  Sandra was my favorite pick because she is so black and has nice facial features, but after the whole fight and “stealing of the bed thing” at the house, I am not sure if I like her attitude.  And we all know what happens to the one with the attitude!!

London is sure to start creeping people out with her Jesus rants, but it all adds to the uncommon-ness of the house, besides, the judges think that she is a fake.  I think she will take good photos, but I am not sure how well she will do on a runway.

Summary and Poll

This is just my 2 cents from this week’s show and I am really looking forward to next week because it’s the “Make Over Show”.  We, the ones looking from the outside, get to see all the terror in the faces of these models that are due for a makeover.  There will be crying and maybe even some blood shed for Allison.  Stay tuned and answer this weeks pole.
