To enjoy watching America's Next Top Model?

[Trixiebelle16]

Ok I'm old, fat and straight so technically speaking there's nothing for me here but I'm addicted to it!!! Anyone else have this same bizarre taste?!

I like India the best followed by Paige - can't warm to any of the others!

I quite liked Krislian but apparently Rita Ora had beef with her because she shagged Calvin Harris.

Courtney's beautiful but a miserable git.

I don't like Paige's resting face, the corners of her mouth turn downwards so she looks miserable.

India has gorgeous eyes. Love her hair colour as well.

I hate how they try make androgynous models look very feminine, it just makes them look dreadful. Every time! Just style them how you would an androgynous model, you wouldn't do that in a regular photo shoot.

Courtnery's eyebrows are really annoying me.

Meant to add, I think Tyra has taken a step back because she has become a mum now, so her focus is elsewhere, and who can blame her.

Indie reminds me of Kate Hudson

India reminds me of Julia Stiles!

Hhmmn maybe that's who I meant. Both really pretty

I love ANTM especially how it has got more and more bonkers. Anyone remember the episode where they did a kind of racial DNA profile/photoshoot apparently spurred on by the company advertising DNA profiling Tyra's desire to know 'who she really was'.
'Pot ledom' video too - barking!
The complete new vocab creates by Tyra - touche and bouche - eh??
And all of the oversharing within the first 5 mins in the house.
Best trash tv ever.

My all time favourite ANTM moment was Tyra going batshit at the girl for not taking it seriously, and crying at her. I loved it.

I haven't watched it since the Jays and Nigel were on it. I used to be properly addicted.

She's angry because the girl isn't crying!

I haven't watched it for yonks but watched the first ten or so series. Does each series still include:

1. Someone fainting
2. Someone crying when their long hair is cut on a makeover
3. Someone crying over their boyfriend from home and having to kiss a male model
4. Someone with an eating disorder
5. 1 x lesbian

I've just watched an old season (2010?) and your points all check out, arethere, only (1) was mass heat-related fainting (American youth, including people from very hot parts of the US, seemed totally unable to handle Italian heat without 24/7 air-con) and (3) and (5) were the same person, crying over her girlfriend at home and freaking out at male models.

Also a lot of identikit trash-talk feuds over undone washing up, and truly disgusting diets (deep-fried Oreos?).

Also, that even the girls who self-identified as quiet/nerdy/shy did exactly the same shrieking, hand-flapping dance every time Tyra Banks appeared.

Yeah the shriek flap thing is weird. I always wondered if Tyra was checking out who wasn't screaming loud enough!

An interesting article about Tiffany, the girl Ty-ty went apeshit at: www.buzzfeed.com/michaelblackmon/we-were-rooting-for-you-we-were-all-rooting-for-you?utm_term=.nabQD3VP4J#.oaX5Rgo32M

I LOVE the Next Top Models!

However, really not the American one. It's all so OTT & fake. Apart from Courtney (who is just irritating) The 90's model's daughter (can't remember her name) and India (who I quite like) none of them even really look like HF models?!

I've just finished watching the Australia's next top model. OMG, I was obsessed! I liked them all apart from Kassandra! I'm so glad it was Aleyna and Sabine in the final 2. Both are just absolutely beyond beautiful and both are now walking for Dior, YSL etc, especially Aleyna!
They were all lovely on it and it was a lot more down to earth and realistic.

Britains next top model....I'm currently watching....it's alright. Not as good as Australia's, but not as bad as Americas. Some of them look like models, again some of them im a bit like But it's proving to be quite good so far!

Total guilty pleasure. Bring back the tooching and even DH wants Miss J back (not that he's ever taken an interest mind)

My all time favourite contestant was Allison (season 10 I think) and she was totally robbed.

Is it the case that quite a few winners don't seem to go to have substantive modelling careers?

I think it's more the case that none of them have. OzNTM has a much better track record.

Allison was great, and was indeed robbed.

This year the ginger girl cried cos they dyed her hair... Ginger.
One lesbian and one bi curious so far

Wasn't convinced about the bi curious myself but I guess it got her airtime. Still can't get my head round Ritamails just doesn't sound right!

momma so funny when she freaked out about her hair. I think the makeover is my favourite episode, I love it when they hate it , but I'm a horrible person

DH was gutted he missed this season's makeover episode, it's his favourite

I love how there's always one getting a short back and sides while tears roll down her cheeks.

How do we watch Britain's NTM now that it's changed channel? (Asking for a friend, obvs...)
