America's Next Top Model Cycle 10

[RedheadWriter]

Sorry I spelled cycle incorrectly in the title...can any mods fix that?


Hi All! I am starting this thread now, just under 2 weeks from the start of the next Cycle. I figure we can update this weekely with our thoughts, etc....as the cycle goes on.
so far...all I know is 14 contestants make it to the house. They are in New York this time around. I am not too impressed with the commericals I am seeing on the CW. Tyra looks a little mean in them. None of the girls particularly stand out on the website either. Should be interesting to watch.
Anyone catch ANTM Exposed last night? They had some of the girls from the previous cycles on talking about what happened behind the scenes.

Hi Red,

I am looking forward to the new season. Only problem is Wife Swap is on opposite ANTM! Two of my favorite shows to watch and now I have to choose.... geez I wish I had a DVR.

Anyway, I wonder how they're going to keep the show fresh this season. The girls don't look all that original.

Hey, we can talk ANTM on Sunday at the meet! Looking forward to meeting you!

See Kathy , my problem is that ANTM is on opposite American Idol!! Decisions, decisions!!

I never watched this show until the season that Jaslene won. I just happened to catch one of the marathons they run on cable while flipping channels one day and it intrigued me. I guess I never thought I would get into it. Now, thanks to all the repeats, I think I have seen at least a sampling from all seasons.

I really like seeing the photo shoots -- after 10 cycles, I hope that they can still come up with some fresh and interesting things for the girls to do. Oh, and that Benny Ninja kinda gives me the creeps -- he is waaaaay to flexible to be totally human lol

I love ANTM and I cannot wait until Cycle 10 starts!

I'm addicted to this show. I watch previous seasons re-runs all the time on MTV.

I am really looking forward to Sunday! I think it is going to be really fun!! Yes, we will have so much to talk about!

I was sick for 3 weeks at the end of Dec and into Jan. They had a week's marathon of ANTM and that is all I had on as I recovered. My mother thought I was nuts as every time she came over it would be on. LOL.
It is addicting. I didn't get into it until Cycle 5. It seems I am always the last to get on the bandwagon. I just started watching LOST!!!!

It is precisely because of all the marathons that I don't think I could tune in to a regular season. I'm spoiled by that instant gratification. Also I'm an American Idol fan. I can't believe they are already on Cycle 10 however. I kind of feel like it's a bit ridiculous, and they still haven't produced one "top model." I've seen some of the models around, but theirs no one that has really taken the industry by storm. Also I feel like each season Tyra becomes more insufferable. She is my least favorite part of the show.

I agree. Tyra has become insufferable!
I have only seen the models in the Metrostyle catalog. NEVER in any Vogue or publications such as that. I know that some of the girls who did not win do have incredible luck and success in runway shows across the world, but to me, if you are not in Vogue, Harper's, Town and Country or others of that ilk, you are not a top model.

Exactly. I saw many of the girls in runway shows during fashion week. Danielle, Jaslene, and Bianca all made appearances during the Project Runway shows... but that doesn't make them a top model. It just makes them a working model.
The only one that I would say has become a "star" in the loosest sense of the word would be Adrienne, and that's only because of her appearances on the Surreal Life and subsequent courtship and marriage with Chris Knight which spawned another program. That said I still enjoy the shoots and watching the girls get a little catty in the house

[Tink2002]

Okay, so...

I said I was done watching after Saleisha won... (that whole controversy where she had been on the Tyra show as a model, had done ads when you are not supposed to have done that and be on the show, blah blah blah, I'm sure this has probably been discussed on here?)

But I'm not very good at sticking to my word. The show is just so addicting, and I'm getting very excited...

And I can't wait to discuss it with you all!

[TikiGoddess]

So what did everyone think?

I thought it was a big disappointing... I went to the CW website earlier today to see who the models were for the season, so the end of the show held no suspense for me!

I think they were crazy to pick the 'weird' one -- forgot her name (not Amy) -- when it is so evident that she has NO modeling experience whatsoever. I think Margita will be off the show pretty quickly.

Dominique is beautiful and ethnic looking which they seem to go for... Fatima is unique and seems like a great addition to the cast.

I don't know about Tyra's choice of interview clips --- (baby) milk?? Tricking out a car?? Lap dances?? And then how about the girls fighting in the lounge about being ghetto? I don't know... hope it gets better when they start the photo shoots and challenges.

Oh boy, I think way too much about this.

I feel like they picked a lot of personalities that are going to clash to make for good TV, as sad as that sounds. I didn't care for Dominique very much, she seems very fake to me, I was really hoping for Kristen (the one who has the boyfriend in Iraq) to get in, I thought she had a look that was sort of classic with an edge at the same time.

Oh, well. I'm going to try to be objective this time because every time I pick a favorite they get kicked off the next week! haha... I WAS really happy that shanya (don't know if I got that right - Muhammed Ali's niece) didn't make it, though, she drove me nuts during that "ghetto" fight and then hysterically crying the next minute.

Bring on the photo shoots!!!!!

[RedheadWriter]

Anyone else think that one girl (name forgotten..Amy?) looks like Lisa from Cycle 5? That is the first thing I thought of!
SO not liking Marvita. What an attitude she has!
Fatima looks like Iman and has a story to go with her so my first instinct was "She makes it far"
But I will say this, too...Whitney has my vote. I think she is pretty and it is about time a plus sized model wins! I am crossing my fingers!

Does Top Model call their seasons "Cycles"? I have never heard that term used to described a television show in the USA.

Yeah, it's Cycle. America's Next Top Model airs two competitions a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. For every "season" Top Model is on, you get 2 competitions and 2 winners. So to seperate them each competition is called a Cycle. They're now on Cycle 10.

Thanks!

I have only watched Top Model during a VH1 marathon, and it was only once. I just can't get into it.

I sorta watched it last night..My friend called me and was in a talkative mood. So I bascally only really watched the first 15-20 mins. or so. I still had the tv on, but it's kinda hard to watch ANTM and talk on the phone..
Why did the one night my friend was in a talkative mood have to be last night?

[ncscgirl2005]

Whats up with ANTM being on MTV all day on the weekends? Do they have some sort of deal or something? I like the show but they have so many cycles that I can't remember most of the winners. The ones I do remember are

1. Adrianne
2. Eva
3. Danielle
4. Naema (sp?)
5. Carrie D
6. Jaslene

[RedheadWriter]

The winners and their cycles are as follows:
1. Adrianne Curry
2. Yoanna House
3. Eva Pigford
4. Naima Moira
5. Nicole Linkletter
6. Danielle (now Dani) Evans
7. Caridee English
8. Jaslene Rodriguez
9. Saleisha (don't know her last name!)

MTV, VH1 and CW are all owned by the same parent company which is why the marathons are on.

As I thought more about the show last night I am hoping that Marvita is the first to go. I had the biggest chuckle when they were showing the previews of next week and Miss J went "OOOOOOOOOO" and was so dramatic. I apologize for not putting that in my response last night but I was sleepy from watching the eclipes.

I was sort of surprised about some of the people who were dropped, one girl had terrific photos but was not accepted-

I am very glad that one girl who got so mad at being called "ghetto" failed the first cut. She was very self centered. She did get some points for feeling sorry about Fatima's issue.

Actually i think we all feel for her- wow that is a very tough way to have to go through life.

She is very pretty , she does look like Iman alot.

I think Dominique would have been selected higher, but her " All this" reference to her assets seemed to not sit well with Tyra and the J's.

Also i guarantee we will hear about the hawaiian girl's accent every week,,, it is very strange. She sounds like Dog the Bounty Hunter - "Hank Lewse Brutha"
