Anybody see the commercials? These girls look GORGEOUS.

oooh looks interesting, is it a tv show, sara from season two would be perfect, same with katie from season one

The winner gets much better prizes than ANTM too. Big contract! I will definately be watching. You can see a video promo at www.nbc.com if you look on the right side of the page and click on the feature video spot!

Kelle would be great.

Thanks for the link--looks like they're gunning for Wednesdays too ...

I guess we had to wait for a major network to pick up the idea before we'd get serious model contenders. Hopefully, Tyra will feel the heat and improve the next cycle because of it.

I hope so ChicagoViewer. There are so many new m,odel search shows rising from the ashes and ANTM is slowly plummeting into the ashes. Tyra needs to step it up next season!!!

How is ANTM plummeting into ashes? It's way more successful this season than it was the last two.

I think that cowchpotaytoe may have been referring to the lack of modeling talent TyTy picked for this cycle...if so, I must agree.

Anon, a lot of viewers feel disappointed by this cycle and the way things shaped up--photoshoots and eliminations. Out of the three cycles, I think this one was the worst.

A show like the SI model hunt actually looks like it's taking the judging and potential models very seriously. And Cheryl Tiegs adds the needed credibility.

Cahalanmac hit the nail on the head. I think this whole crop of g,irls should have been scrapped and picked again (keeping only a few of the g,irls such as Nicole, Amanda, Toccara, Yaya, and Norelle). As Janice said last night "there are none of you i can say to right now 'you can be america's next top m0del'"
