TV: America's Next Top Model (CW)

So, I haven't bothered entering the fray regarding this masterpiece of reality programming because it's just so obvious! America's Next Top Model (CW - Wednesdays 8/7c) is truly one of the best shows on TV these days, exploiting the very fabric of 2nd Generation Reality TV programming in such a way that it will be a cold day in hell before this show falls out of primetime. The formula is simple: put a bunch of cute wannabe models in a house and have them compete for cash and prizes. Not only is this appealing to female viewers, but to males as well. This is a show that has truly been designed to appeal to everyone. Even Twiggy is there, representing for all the old birds has beens!

Perhaps the best thing about this program is how these ladies are tied to contracts that extend beyond the production. Winning the title is not only good for the model, but undoubtedly benefits the show as well. It's a win win!

Already, we're seeing members of the cast doing spin-offs (Jay Manuel has a show on fashion, and Tyra Banks has her own talkshow).

Who doesn't like a bunch of petty, catty women, always on the verge of scratching each others eyes out? Especially when they're hot!

Sifted: 10/10

Note to Miss Jay: Lose the Flock of Seagulls hair. You don't look like a bird of paradise; you look like a turd with spikes clown in a headvice.

PS. So long, Brooke (bottom row, center). Sorry you missed your graduation to be on one of the best TV programs of your generation.
