It doesn’t seem that long ago since 'America's Next Top Model' or ANTM as it’s sometimes known, first hit the airways back in May of 2003. It has provided not only opportunities for aspiring models, but lots of drama and tearful makeovers. General audiences and fans alike just can’t seem to get enough of this show. ANTM is the ultimate reality contest where beauty is judged by the world’s standards, yet somehow Tyra Banks has made sure her cast of hopefuls always includes a diverse bunch of beautiful and unique women. There have been seasons with full figured potential models and even a transgender. This show has completely turned the face of American beauty upside down. Just read the reviews about the show online, with charter internet.
For those who watch the show from one week to the next and even old reruns on MTV and VH1 the stories that unravel are just unreal and certainly unpredictable. The fan base includes people of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities. And I’d also say a high female population in comparison, although men may take a peek depending on what they’re looking for. ANTM has a little something for everyone, beautiful women, handsome men, along with outrageous challenges and tests. You even get a fight or two, well at least some gossiping or just down right mean talk during judging, in the house, or wherever the contestants may be. The entire judging crew is the heart of the show as their personalities never disappoint.
Fans have grown to love the wild antics of Miss J Alexander and only wish to have a “to die for” runway walk like his. Jay Manuel is also a fan favorite as he always so perfectly coiffed including his arched eyebrows and hair to match. Of course, you can’t talk about them without thinking of Miss Tyra. She is just so fabulous with her varying outfits and chic hairstyles. She’s also a great role model for today’s young woman. And Nigel Barker, who wouldn’t want to hold the perfect pose so this handsome photographer could capture every moment through his photo lens. Fans alike just can’t get enough of this spectacular team of fabulousness. It’s hard to tell what keeps charter cable television viewers coming back for more the judges or the contestants. One thing is for sure there are many events that have taken place that fans and viewers alike will never forget. Some still cause a hush or gasp throughout the room even if it’s a rerun.
Remember when Tyra just totally went off on one young lady because of how she was acting as she left the stage. Miss Tyra did not appreciate her behavior and told her how ungrateful she was. Or what about the girl who fainted and fell flat on her back with her eyes wide open. It was the strangest thing, like something in a horror movie or something, yet the cameras kept rolling. Ratings, ratings, ratings! Thank God for the weave! I’m thinking the cushioning is what saved her. Another memorable moment, there were only two contestants remaining and they were doing a fashion show in China. There were dancers on stilts alongside the runway dancing as the models did their thing. Unfortunately one of the models somehow got tangled with one of the dancers on the runway and caused the dancer to fall. It was terrible and funny all at the same time because this girl just knew she had the competition. This show is a top ten on the list of many favorite television shows. It definitely has many seasons ahead, we hope.
