Movie Review (America's Next Top Model)



"The Girl who is here to win, not make friends"
America's Next top Model is a reality television show, where a number of young women compete for the title of America's Next Top Model and the opportunity to start their career in the modeling industry. America's Next Top Model was created by model Tyra Banks in May 2003, but she didn't only created, she also serves as the head judge, hosts it and is the executive producer of the show. Each season has from 9-13 episodes and starts with 10-14 contestants. In each episode, one contestant is eliminated by the judging panel, they evaluate the girl's development and their abilities to succeed as a top model.
Every episode usually starts by showing the contestants receiving training in an area concurrent with the week's theme. Then it features a fashion challenge, such as a mock runway show or interview, then the judging panel chooses the winner and give her some prize like clothing or a night out. In the next part the photo shot takes place, and each contestant's performance will show her effort. She's going to be heavily judged on what she did for that week, and it's going to depend on that if she stays in the competition or if she has to leave. Photo shots include posing in bikini or lingerie shots, nude or semi-nude, posing with a male model and posing with animals.

The final part of each episode is judging. When judging each contestant's photo is shown and evaluated, the contestants can't be in the room while the judges are deliberating.Next is the elimination, as Tyra reveals and hands out the photos of the contestants that have not been eliminated one-by-one, in order of merit, leaving the two gauche for last. Tyra critiques each one of them before revealing which of the two is continuing on in the competition.

America's Next top model is one of the best reality shows ever made, it shows how hard it is to become a model, but at the same time how cool and exciting this career can be. By watching this show, people can realize that top models are very thin and they are usually under pressure of keeping their body in perfect shape, but also it shows women dream about becoming famous and known. The show is the CW network's highest rated and it has been called the #1 show in average viewers.Its creator, Tyra Banks is one of the most famous and facetious model in the world, she received VH1 award for supermodel of the year, also she was the first African-American chosen for the cover of Victoria's secret catalog. And the producer is a Grammy Award-winning songwriter, record producer, and musician. This show is a very fun and interesting reality show, that shows what life is like for models, that once you start watching it you can't stop watching it until it ends. I really like everything about this show, from what models do to how fun this career can be. I also like it because it's exactly what i was looking for, when talking about modeling., it shows the good side of modeling, how they have fun when they do what they love.
