I aslo agree I used t olike topm model? but after cycle 10 it just started to suck. Know it seems that it’s just pure boredom Cylcle 12 is lamest one in the history. None of hte girls seems like models and ussually i have a favorite one to win? But this season I don’t because all the girls don’t have modelling potenntial. i just watch it cause theres nothing else.

As far as the show goes, I was watching re-runs of Cycle 10 and every time they focused on Tyra at the judging table she’d be posing.

I love the original concept of the show, and the earlier seasons are great, but boy have the seasons gone downhill.

The thing that always bothered me is when there were girls from other countries. It’s like, I thought this was *America’s* Next Top Model!

Definitely jumped the shark. There’s no more drama in it anymore since the judges themselves don’t really seem to take the competition seriously. It’s also hard as a viewer to take it seriously when you know, based on past cycle results, none of the antm winners are taken very seriously by the industry.

i think there’s still a lot left in this show, it’s definitely not over yet, but they’re trying too hard to make it entertaining. the drama and good potential models is what really makes a cycle awesome. in my opinion, it’s gone downhill from cycle 3. i’ll watch the show until it ends, but it’s slightly disappointing the way it’s turning out. the choices of who gets into the house and all of the dumb stuff, like fairy tale makeover introduction, is taking away from the show. so, the show has probably jumped the shark, but i still watch it every week, so it’s still got something to keep people watching.

YES. the show has definitely jumped the shark. Tyra has a huge inflated ego and likes to point out every episode how wonderful she is? I think past beginning cycles were much much better. The photo shoot ideas were better and what is with that top model institute of technology bullshit? It just makes no sense to me. I still watch the show because i like seeing how the models progress, and some of the photoshoot ideas are cool. I just hate how the winners go nowhere. They have a little bit of fame. but thats it. and the “cover of seventeen magazine” is bullshit. they get half of a cover ? the other half goes to some big name star. And the thing that dissapoints me the most is that they get rid of people who have “no personality” since when is modeling about personality? Kat cycle 10 and Lauren Brie this cycle should have stayed.

I totally agree with Hollywood BS. I couldn’t have said it any better. I was also one of the first to say that this cycle has NO model potential whatsoever. None of the girls look like models, none, not even Marjorie. With her nerves, are you kidding me?? She won’t last a second out there! The only one with actual potential already got eliminated (Lauren Brie). The show has jumped the shark and it made it even more apparent this cycle. It’s the first time I’m not excited to watch the show. I still do because it’s entertaining, but I don’t look forward to seeing what kind of shoots they’ll do next. They either have to end the series all together or completely change it up, which I don’t see happening because of Tyra’s ego.

@ Mathew

Once again, I disagree with you. Elina has a sexy Angelina-Jolie look but that doesn’t necessarily translate into high fashion and successful modeling. I think cycle 10 has better girls who actually looked like models ( kata, Anya, Fatima, Claire, Amy).

True Erin, I enjoy AusNTM a lot more. But did you see the plus-size models they are considering in the competition this year? See pic here: http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/f96/showpost.php?p=5043342&postcount=863
It’s a joke. But I still have hope in AusNTM, as I believe Alex Perry still has his senses.

To me, I think even the judges themselves don’t take ANTM seriously. The show is like a circus already. I want Tyra to give the hosting job to Paulina, kick Nigel and Mr Jay. Miss J to really coach the girls. Basically revamping the whole show.

@ HOLLYWOOD BS

I actually don’t think anyone on that damn show are models, the reason why I thought this cycle was better is because of the looks they have, Majorie and Elina, no matter how much I hate them, they do look like models, we have not see that on top model in never, that’s why I think this season is a tad better, just an opinion, the rest are just awful, really really awful. Weather or Tyra is looking for ratings or not, let’s just thank for the fact that there is a show for models, who arent necessary models, but their bitchiness makes good T.V.
