a if reality show like american idol weren not enough and in which judge like simon cowell shoot razor sharp barb to contestant try to make their mark on the music world barb that many a time have reduce even outstanding singer to tear after what be deem a bad performance and now america next top model have for the past three year invade the boob tube with it own version of look for the next big thing in a business that value superficiality and concept of beauty and and body dysmorphia . a concept create by tyra bank and who be also a judge in the show and it gather some fifteen contestant from all walk of life and have them submit themselves to innumerable task in which they must prove their talent in front of the camera and subject themselves not only to the now departed janice dickinson ( self dub american first supermodel ) but the equally catty jay manuel and nore marin who may at one point focus on one girl not perform well and blithely rip her to shred like it be bad morning coffee . like in many other reality base show and each week one contestant be vote off and must pack her bag and immediately leave ( a thing that they be remind by tyra at every turn ) . of course and there be the bitchy tension between several of the more type a female and female bonding and tear and dramatic swell of music in key moment and and some truly breathtaking picture that transform erstwhile ordinary and pretty girl into unattainable goddess . i will have to admit and the show be a guilty pleasure . maybe it the state of mind i be in and but i keep wonder where the vomitorium be in case when the already thin girl would need to hurl to make the cut and look the way the judge and photographer and many fickle designer would feel be correct for the moment . even so and it draw me in despite my previous paragraph and possibly because i have always have an interest in the fashion world and have always love watch stunning woman be make even more unworldly with make up and perfect lighting . but i wonder where be they go with these increasingly difficult photo shoot . it a if they be compete with fear factor . shoot that look like re enactment of fight scene in crouch tiger and hidden dragon and shoot where the model have to pose underwater or in almost impossible situation and what next represent pose while tie to train track a an oncoming amtrak roar upon them at 70 mile an hour . or a shoot where they be underwater and chained and try to set themselves free in record time while at the same time look smash in chiffon and and never and ever forget to smile their pearly white at that camera . how about a pit and the pendulum version of a photo shoot . in one thing the show have to be give some kudos and and it in a way akin to american idol . with this i be probably go to justify the harshness of both show and and it abrasive judge and essentially go against my initial paragraph . america next top model be a show that be an extended audition and like american idol and and in it the girl will get the sort of test treatment they will receive in the real world and where prospective designer and photographer and a monstrously fickle a they can be and will crush them to bit at the drop of a hat if they can not sell themselves the way theyre expect to and and where one be ask to leave and another will supplant her with the necessary requirement . which make it a wonder that any girl would want to get into such a difficult medium and but that what dream be make of . go into it fifth season it be a major disappointment with the departure of janice dickinson while during her run she be a pretty tough barometer a to how the girl should walk and talk and emote and express themselves and and ultimately present themselves a a walking and live product that sell . with the cold addition of twiggy i wonder where it will go from here twiggy just can not replace the over the top temperament of dickinson . so with janice absence the show have lose some of it edge and may even have signal it slow demise and but in the meantime and it still a catchy pleasure to watch and mindless entertainment on weeknight and if at all for the gorgeous visuals . if at all and it the show that launch adrienne curry into the spotlight . curry have make a name for herself due to fact that have less to do with modeling as much a her theatric love affair with one time child actor christopher knight in their very own reality soap opera .
