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 used to be addicted to watching ANTM, but haven't been interested the past few years. I switched it on the other day, and it just didn't seem right without Tyra.

Where and when can I watch bntm? Who's doing it this year?

ReluctantlyRedundant101 · 19/03/2017 20:30

Have saved up current series to binge watch but hoping someone in it looks like Nyle 💗 also if you remember mirjana from cycle 21 (she was going out with one of the other contestants)she was shot dead on her doorstep a year or two ago

ApocalypseNowt · 19/03/2017 20:42

I love all these shows. Makeover episode definitely my favourite.

Is that true about Mirjana??! Shock I just rewatched that series recently.

Latenightreader · 20/03/2017 14:38

Mirjana, her boyfriend and another friend were all killed a couple of years ago - I think it was in some of the papers in the UK. Very sad.

I love the go see challenge (although usually find it really tense). I play a sort of bingo - who will be late back (and be told they would have won if they had been on time), who will be slated by everyone even though she thinks she is fantastic, who will say something unintentionally offensive or miss the point entirely, who will have a meltdown over traffic...

I love this show but I can't stand the way Rita ora puts on the slight American accent it really annoys me.

TheZeppo · 20/03/2017 17:13

God Nyle 😍

I like Paige and India this year. Kyle was a one trick pony but I did laugh at her dancing in the video 😂

TheLambShankRedemption · 20/03/2017 17:19

Am a fan. I know my hoochy tooch from a booty tooch Halo

Allison should have won Allstars though Hmm

plutohasfeelingstoo · 20/03/2017 17:42

Kyle's dancing was hilarious ! Loving India too but can't warm to Paige at all.

NotTheBelleoftheBall · 20/03/2017 18:56

Guys... I saw a spoiler!!!

Whatever you do, don't google 'ANTM winners' I was hoping to reminisce over previous winners and didn't realise this season had ended in the USA.

HeeHighls · 20/03/2017 19:06

Not ok to watch Jeremy Kyle but you watch soaps.

spinassienne · 20/03/2017 19:14

Anyone know why Angelea was disqualified from the Allstars series?

Bodicea · 20/03/2017 19:30

It's my guilty pleasure. Was getting fed up of Tyra and her bizarre made up language so although Rita is a bit annoying she is not as annoying as Tyra. Personally I fast forward through a lot of the bitching ( maybe I am getting old). I just love the photo shoots and the pics at the end. I am always diasapponted when it's an add/video instead of pics. The ones where they have to learn lines are so cringe.
BNTM seems v low budget the last couple of years. They last one all the finalists were a bit rubbish. The one who won looked really old.
Australia's next top model is ok but a bit polite and dull. But I find that with most Australian spin offs.
Did anyone watch the Naomi Campbell model show? It was fantastic!!!
Also I think one of the reasons none of the girls make it big is in the real world of catwalk modelling everyone is about 12 and borderline anorexic but they have to project a healthier image on a TV show so go for girls that are bit older ( as they have more interesting personalities) and have healthier looking bodies. I think they would get endless complaints if they showed the real world of modellling.

TreeTop7 · 20/03/2017 22:00

I stopped watching it when they added male contestants. The days of the Jays were the best. Also loved Twiggy and Paulina. I liked the season where they went to China, there were some good characters and pictures.

Despite being thin and 21, most contestants are too old and too hefty to be entering the "real" world of modelling I guess. A show featuring sullen 15 year olds eating cotton wool and snorting coke wouldn't be great :-)

Laurendisorder · 20/03/2017 23:04

My favourite guilty pleasure! Surprised too at not missing Tyra ! Miss J please come back any time though!

Tweedledee3Tweedledum · 21/03/2017 15:18

Spin, there have been two stories circulating... 1) producers found out that she worked previously as an escort and 2) that she announced on social media that she won before the show was aired.

Ampersand22 · 21/03/2017 15:53

Love it.

Also love Project Runway.

Latenightreader · 04/04/2017 14:58

There are two series of Project Runway on netflix. I may have accidentally watched the whole of season 7 over the last 36 hours (turns out it is a wonderful distraction while sorting through hugely boring heaps of papers and junk).

Brummiegirl15 · 13/01/2018 18:30

I bloody love ANTM - although not the same without Nigel

MalcolmsBrokenWalrusMoneybox · 13/01/2018 18:37

I loved the photo shoots and the "and here is your best shot" at the end. Not watched it for aaaaages.

myusernameisnotmyusername · 13/01/2018 19:00

I used to love Britain and Ireland's next top model!

Tinkofhousepan · 13/01/2018 19:13

I love it! Though I was gutted when it wasn't the 2 Jays any longer! And I don't like Rita ora standing in for Tyra. I think my fave season was season 2
