America’s Next Pasty White Chick
Reality finales aren’t usually nearly as good as the regular episodes. Survivor is the worst, tons of boring stuff, and not much of the plotting and deceiving that Survivor usually provides. Big Brother is just the reunion show combined with a clip show, and The Apprentice is just a Trump love fest. ANTM wasn’t too bad, comparatively, but they sure did a poor job with the suspense. I think it was easy to tell from both the editing and the things Tyra and the rest of the judges were saying that Nicole was going to win.
The other side of the coin is that it sure is hard to pick who is going to win this show from the onset. I cheated and picked three girls, and I was wrong about all three of them. Who would have ever guessed that the dorky near-albino pasty girl would blossom into the obvious choice to win by the last few episodes. I still think that Lisa was a better model, but I don’t blame the producers for picking Nicole and avoiding the bad publicity that Lisa’s trouble making would have been sure to generate.
For anyone who watches this show on a regular basis, I’d highly recommend watching Project Runway. It’s on Bravo at 9pm on Wednesdays, and it repeats frequently throughout the week. The show has a group of models competing against each other, but that is secondary to the clothes designers who are competing. I liked the first season WAY better than The Cut, and quite a bit better than this season of ANTM.

Ryan,I couldn’t agree with you more about America’s Net Top Model. There was no real suspense, no matter how hard they tried. Poor Twiggy tipped her hand weeks ago.But I think having a new competition called ‘America’s Next Pasty White Chick’ is terrific. Totally high concept. You should go to Hollywood.
