America's Next Top Model

Tyra Banks turns a team of beautiful girls into lean mean modeling machines on her hit reality show America's Next Top Model. Through grueling challenges, photo shoots, go-sees, and walk-offs, Banks shows these aspiring models exactly how to succeed as a model. There are surprises around every turn as the girls are taken off to exotic locales in the modeling capitols of the world, dressed in hot designer outfits, and given life changing makeovers. They are judged by ex-models like Tyra Banks, Twiggy, and Janice Dickinson who are joined by notable fashion photographers and designers. The girls fight tooth and heel to receive a generous cash prize, a modeling contract for a major brand (most recently CoverGirl), representation with a top agency, a spread in a major magazine, and the title of America's Next Top Model.

I love this show! Tyra Banks is truly an amazing person. The contestants do make for good tv however it's Tyra's style that keep me coming back. I also like to hear how the photographers and other professionals voice their opinions about their subjects. They give you the tools you need to improve yourself.
