WARNING....
I re-typed portions of the "Tyra On Top" article from 'Suede' magazine. These are POSSIBLE SPOILERS for season four of ANTM. If the mods have any problem with this thread....my apologies!
Enjoy...
"But while the entrepreneurial semiretired supermodel’s ability to keep a secret may frustrate the press-including this writer-it’s a skill that’s obviously served Banks well in her many business endeavors. Which is why it came as no surprise when the Victoria’s Secret pinup was forced to rescind her invitation to a meeting with Kevin Mok, executive producer of her hit UPN reality series, America’s Next Top Model, after network bigwigs expressed concern about classified details of the show’s fourth season-which premiered March 2– being leaked to the media. “The success of Top Model has been tremendous for UPN,” explains the network’s president, Dawn Ostroff. “Everything in the show-including the characters, the drama, the catfights, the triumphs, and the storytelling-all come together to make the show a ratings success.” Although Banks is careful not to spill the beans about the inevitable bickering and backstabbing that Top Model viewers can expect to see in season four, she reveals that she suffers from a near nervous breakdown that will be shown in at least one episode. “I’m not gonna say what happens, but wait until you see it,” she teases. “I saw where I could go from being under so much stress or being disappointed in a girl or the show, and I said ‘OK, now that I know what that feels like, I’ll never get there again because it’s not worth it.’"
"So how does Banks rate herself against the contestants on her show? “I’m very by the book and diplomatic,” she says. “I think our girls tend to be either a little bit more extreme, or a little softer, mousier and introverted. There’s a girl in season four that kind of has a big personality like I have when I’m with my friends but she does a couple of things that I would never do, like drinking.'"
"In fact, the stress of Banks’ heavy workload brought her to tears on season four’s soon-to-be infamous episode of Top Model."
