America's Next Top Model: Do You Watch?

| Posted 5 months ago During the second season when I was in collage, my roommates and I would watch the show everyweek. Each one of us would root for our favorite and make fun of the some of the stupid things they'd fight over. Since then I haven't watched it regularly because I don't have a group of girls to gather round with and make a night out of it anymore. However, at least two times a year I've noticed MTV or VH1 will run a marathon of the latest season or all of them and if I happen to catch it one saturday or sunday I will just make a day of watching the show (or have it on in the background) as I clean up my apartment. I enjoy the show the same way I enjoy sex & the city. I don't take it seriously but it makes me laugh and I get to see some nice photography at the same time. |

| Posted 5 months ago I admit that I do watch it. I watch it with my 10 year old daughter. It starts many conversations between us concerning females. Personalities, and attitudes that are ugly. Characteristics that are admirable and enjoyable. Different body types and the beauty in more than one size. Last season a "plus" sized model won, who was absolutely beautiful, and we were cheering for her the whole way. My daughter is a beautiful girl, very striking, and not thin. She is just healthy. She will be a curvy female, as I am. Many of her friends are focused on what they eat, and being as thin as possible. I try show her how much more attractive curves are on a woman. She actually notices that and sees it on ANTM. |

What a great way to turn around a vapid show into a lesson on self-image, media, stereotypes, relationships, etc. Daniela

| Posted 5 months ago There was nothing "plus size" about the model who won, she was NORMAL according to the BMI I bet she was well within the range she should be, and I am glad she did win. She is a W-O-M-A-N not a skeleton prancing around on little stick legs with a popsicle head! I do hope that the modeling industry will change and realize that the stick does not make the clothes look better but a curvy body will. "The brick walls are not there to keep us out.

| Posted 5 months ago I agree with BrandyLynn's take on it. I like to watch it. Though I've known a few girls like them in HS, it never ceases to shock me when I see the attitudes and behavior of these girls. I knew a few girls who acted like this in HS but the one thing I'm proud of, from my mom, is that she always taught me to be nice and not bitchy or competative (in a negative way) with other girls/women. I've run into one or two colleagues who behave this way and it still shocks and hurts me. I will never understand it. I love to see the final portraits - the make up artists and photographers are SO talented. ~“I love debate.

| Posted 5 months ago She definatly wasn't a plus size woman!!! It killed me to hear them keep labeling her as such. If that is plus what woman doesn't want to look like that. She was a gorgeous woman. |
