Cycle 10 Next Top model

I love to hate Next Top Model, especially the American version. However, like a car accident, I can't avert my eyes. The contestant interactions is really where it's all about. Female circumcision, stretch marks, transvestites and breast milk were some of early topics of discussion between the girls.

Will these girls become America's Next Top Model? The new judge Paulina Porizkova (replacing Twiggy) doesn't think so. Last year, Porizkova told The NY Post the show was "completely unrealistic. They obviously don't take girls based on who can actually be a model." She reiterates her point in another article today. Here's a small excerpt from it:

Porizkova has learned how "Top Model" relates to the realities of modeling the same way "The Bachelor" depicts the realities of dating - which is to say, hardly at all.

"America's Next Top Model has to be very well-rounded, which I've never heard anybody say about a print model," says Porizkova. "Models are not meant for TV - that's the nature of the work, that you're one-dimensional.

"You can be as dumb as a log and just look great.

"But being America's Next Top Model, you have to have some personality."

Now here's a judge I can side with! Paulina clearly knows what she's going on about, not only was she a top model but truly a supermodel at the height of her career.
