Who could have ever foreseen that this show would last for more than 20 seasons. I think that singular fact proves how many people out there are closet ANTM fans. There is no need to be ashamed because the truth is that it is a fantastic show. How many little girls (and boys) grew up seeing images of beautiful people in magazines and on TV and wanted to be just like them when they grew up. Hell many of us still do that now. ANTM lets you live out this dream and see what it really takes to be a supermodel. The crazy fashion industry people, long photo shoot days, hair & makeup to the extreme, a lot of mirror & runway practice and the continual criticism. It kind of puts it into perspective and makes you realise that modelling is a tough job.
As the seasons have progressed we have experienced many changes in the judging panel as well as celebrity guests. None has been as controversial though as the loss of Nigel Barker, Mr. Jay Manual, and Miss Jay. Initially when it happened I was shocked and bitterly disappointed. I thought the new panel were hacks and thought the show would never be as good. Turns out the success really has nothing to do with the panel but has everything to do with the drama created by the contestants and the amazing photo shoots they do. Even Kelly Cutrone has grown on me after first thinking she was one of the most disgusting people on the planet. I do still think that she is bitter that she never was able to be a model.
America's Next Top Model is my guilty pleasure show that I refuse to feel guilty for. I will continue to watch it until the day it goes off the air just like many other people around the world. It may not be an intellectually superior show but it does entertain you.
