All About Make Me A Supermodel
Friday, August 8, 2008
Hello Dahlings!
I loved Make Me A Supermodel. In the beginning, I thought to myself, "Here's another Reality Show looking for models. Great![insert:sarcasm sign]" Probably because prior to watching this show, I had a taste of yet another reality show for models called "America's Most Smartest Model".
I didn't get the title nor my grammar wrong. You read it right. That's [THE] name of the show. And as the show's host, Mary Alice, explained, "The title of the show is a joke".
I thought all along that the show was seriously looking for models who are smart which supposedly was their concept - to prove that models aren't just a bunch of pretty faces. Unfortunately the show was done in a very distasteful way. Really tacky, trust me.
So having said that, my expectations for "Make Me A Supermodel" wasn't really high. I even thought that having Tyson Beckford and Nikki Taylor as hosts, was the producers way of making up for lack of good material. That they would act as "saving grace' for the show. I mean, if you can't run a good show, at least get a "popular" host to front it, right?
But, I was wrong. Turned out, MMAS was good. The pilot episode was blah, though. It was pretty boring. But it eventually picked up steam. Slowly but surely, as they would say. Whats nice about the show was that, the challenges were cohesive with their catwalk challenge. This what made me like MMAS. I like that there were pictorial and runway challenges. It really showed the best side of each contestant and if they really can model for runway, editorial, or both.
Some of the contestants however didnt seem to fit the show. For the simple reason that they didnt have THE model look. As judges Cory Bautista and Jennifer Star explained in the show, when they go into casting they label people either boyfriend/girlfriend pretty (someone you would actually want to date) and then theres the model pretty. Here's my take on the show regarding this remark from these judges. Some of the contestants are exactly just what they said. I, however, would add another category which would be: actor/actress/tv personality material. These contestants would rock it on TV acting or hosting but they definitely do not have THE model look.
If you wanna who they are, here's my list:
