Cycle 7: ANTM...Will it Ever End?

Posted by Bossip Staff



It's that time of year again...the eagerly anticipated new season of the highly rated reality show America's Next Top Model. First impression of this new season: yawn, blah, la-dee-da. Same as the first impression of the new network, the CW.

Sorry young aspiring models, but this should be last season of this show. The first episode was filled with the usual: crying, bitchiness, and that one lame-o who doesn’t want to pose nude. Why the hell did you try out???? They pose nude EVERY season. The girls this cycle are really nothing to write home about. There are quite a few black models this season, but they’re no Eva “The Diva”. Also, the show features its first set of twins.

In a nutshell, Tyra looks like a drag queen in every look of hers this episode, and has an extremely wack voiceover describing the extremely wack theme of the house: “TYRA” magazine. Can’t get any cornier than that.

As for the girls…a quick rundown:
CariDee

“Bubbly blonde from North Dakota who wore a garter belt to the initial meeting with the judges”

Anchal

“’Too Pretty’ Indian-tandoori that is, not reservation…doesn’t believe her dark skin is beautiful”

Eugena

“One of the strongest faces-translation: cocky with bad skin”

Megan

“Androgynous look with a touching story (mother died while next to her in a plane crash”

Christian

“A boring, beat-down Tyra wannabe who was the first to get her ass shipped back to being a bank teller in South Carolina”

Monique

“Blackula who purposely spills water on someone else’s bed, but said she peed on it…it that absolutely retarded or what???”

AJ

“Edgy black-haired pixie chic with low self-esteem….dealt with cervical cancer”

Melrose

“Melissa Rose….old marme of the bunch…not only acts as if she’s the mommy but also looks like it”

Megg

“Rocker girl with the ‘squinty eye’ problem…looks as if she was smoking on a little reefer”

Brooke

“Adorable little blonde who sacrificed her last year of high school for the show…..well if she doesn’t win there’s always that GED to look forward too”

Jaeda

“Masculine red bone with strong features and big boobies”

Amanda

“Long-haired waif”

Michelle

"Long-haired waif #2"

According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

ANTM is criticised because of the contestant choices and their lack of modeling potential. Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld commented on ANTM and rival Project Runway in the September 2006 issue of Harper's Bazaar. Lagerfeld says, "Trash that is funny for five minutes if you're with other people. If you're alone, it's not funny. Those girls will NEVER be the next Gemma Ward. There is no justice in the fashion business." [3]


Nicely put, Mr. Lagerfeld! And with that said, Cycle 7 of America's Next Top Model is not gonna top the list of must-see TV this season....especially if we have to go through listening to "Dani" bka Danielle from last season speak on her life as a cover girl EVERY damn episode. Sheesh, they were right, she definitely gotta get that public-speaking voice together, almost as bad as Beyonce...maybe worse.
