America's Next Top Model: Cycle 6

AXOeva · #1 02-22-2006, 09:32 AM

The two hour premiere airs on March 8th. I was a little shocked to see that they are airing Cycle 6 so soon. I guess UPN wants to get there ratings up as high as they can before they merge with the WB. Is anyone gonna watch?

Here's the website:

IMO, a lot of the girls look like past contestants. From the photos, I like Mollie Sue and Danielle.

Oh snap. I've never watched this show until the other day. I got fished into it at the gym and ended up watching two epsiodes there and then two at home -- seriously, four hours -- and it turned out to be the first ever season. It's kind of like crack, isn't it?

It really is addictive. I find myself watching it on VH1 all the time. Cycle 5 was the first season that I ever watched from the beginning on UPN, but I have seen most of them through VH1. I'm actually really excited for this new cycle... I feel like such a nerd.

Was one of the challenges collagen injections in the lips? I'm looking at you Brooke and Sara... their lips just don't look right

YIPPEE!!! I love this show! I've been getting my Nigel fix thanks to VH1! Has anyone been watching Tyra's show. It's been off for a the Olympics so Ellen can be on...but it's still quite entertaining. I like Leslie and Danielle has a great cheekbones! Mr. Anon will love it since there's someone from his home town, Corpus Christi!

My only beef with this show is that in alot of ways, it's not representative of what the world of modeling is really like. SOME (not all) of the contestants are considerably older, shorter, etc, than what an agency might look for in a RUNWAY model. The average "in demand" runway model is 5'11 and 16-18. Some of the girls this season are 25 and like 5'8. For a model, 25 is ancient (of course there are a FEW exceptions) and 5'8 is a dwarf.

I do like Kari though. She reminds me of Kate Moss. She has a GREAT face that might make judges overlook her lack of height. Kate Moss' face was what launched her career. She was short, for a model, but she was so beautiful, agencies took a gamble.

hey Pittsburghers, one of the contestants, Joanie Dodds, is from Beaver Falls. She's 24 though... Again, that's really way too old to get started as a top model

Maybe they should rename the show "America's Top Catalog Model" or "America's Top Fit Model," since the girls are, as you said, "older" and "shorter."

So glad the chick that went, went. Even though she's from NC I was just NOT seeing what they saw in her...

AXOeva · #14 03-09-2006, 01:36 PM

I thought a couple of those girls were going to walk out of the salon when Jay told them they were going bald! I think that was a really great test of their dedication and attitude after Cassandra threw the fit over her hair in the last cycle.

AnonAlumna · #15 03-09-2006, 01:40 PM

Wow! Their personalities have really changed my mind on a lot of them! Nnenna is amazing! If she doesn't win this, I will be shocked. She is SOOOOO interesting looking, total 'high fashion' model. I think I've been watching this too long, because I keep making the same comments that Ms and Mr. J make! You can totally tell which girls are 'commercial' and which are 'haute couture'.

My favs:

Danielle (she is very beautiful, and just seems so natural)
Sara (I can see her going both ways)
Kari (GORGEOUS, she just seems so innocent! BIG EYES!)

Next to go:

Gina (I don't even think I need to explain)
Jade (I don't think she'll be able to live up to her own hype)
Wendy (she just doesn't photograph well to me)

OH! And I cannot wait until they cut off all of Brooke and Joanie's hair, cuz you know they will!
