America's Next Top Model

I think one of the only reasons that the Style Network channel is still on TV is because of the "America's Next Top Model" rerun marathons. Honestly, I could re-watch those episodes 1000 times and still be surprised by who ends up being the winner. I realize that Tyra Banks is the host of the show, but she seems a bit self centered. For instance, when she was being the photographer for the girls during a photoshoot, I swear all she did was mention how she was the photographer and how she would pose for the shoot. It was like "Oh! That's a great pose! I would do it the other way though... And I'm the photographer for you! YOU'RE WELCOME!" I just can't help but want one of the models to ask if Tyra ever modeled before. Tyra would probably loose her shit. In the newest season, they have guys vs. girls now. I must admit, I am enjoying it. I'm pretty positive that about 65% of the guys are gay, but I still love it. The thing that does bother me about this show sometimes is that everybody's back stories are always so depressing. It's like one person will say "My mom left when I was younger and I lived only with my dad" and then the next will have to one-up that person by saying "I've been homeless since I was 10." These contestants make it so hard not to like them because you'll end up feeling like an asshole for liking the girl/guy who was raised by their grandmother over the girl/guy who is homeless. I, of course, have picked my favorite. His name is Phil and he's probably the coolest guy I've ever seen. Rocking the beard, if I do say so myself. You go, Phil Sullivan. Of course, all of the judges think he's a weird guy because of his clothes...beard...behavior...have I mentioned his awesome beard yet?
