Episode 1-01: More Than Just a Pretty Face


Thousands of tapes were submitted, but only twenty were chosen to become America's Next Top Model semi-finalists. The girls were told that after meeting with the judges, only ten New York-bound hopefuls would remain in the running. Some standouts include Ebony, a lesbian from Harlem, Adrianne the rock and roller from the boondocks and a plus-size pageant queen, Robin. Tyra throws the girls for a loop when she tells the girls that the judges only agreed on eight women to move on! Ah! Nicole, Robin, Kesse, Elyse, Katie, Ebony, Adrianne and Shannon are the lucky ones.

i feel that Adrian was the best choice for top model. she is awesome!!!

Adrian was the best choice. I cannot believe that this is the same show as the more recent cycles. Tyra has to be proud of the popularity and the growth.
I also want to apologize for Robin. She is so arrogant. To be so judgemental and blame it on Christianity is not real. I am a Christian, and putting people down is not part of our "Religion." She kept saying that, too - "My religion teaches me that..." It was such a major turn off that non-Chrisitians would be offended by a mean God such as the one they presented. He is not like that at all! And then the other uberChristian did not have a mind of her own. She even admitted that now that Robin was gone, she could let her hair down. She said that Robin was more like a mother. Her fear of Robin was the only reason why she did not do the nude shot. At first, she agreed to look at how the bands looked. Then after they left her alone in the room with Robin, she totally changed her mind. Or should I say that Robin changed her mind. She would never survive that industry anyway with such a weak mind. Even Jay Manuel said it when he said to her, "Is this you talking or Robin talking for you?"

hey yall im really just to figure out how to get to the interviews that they keep showing in the commercial breaks. i ami not a huge fan of antm because i feel that tyra doesnt always pick the bes person for the job. tyra seems fake and phony to me and has ever since the first time i heard her open her mouth. i am well educated black woman and i understand the importance of being able to hide your "ghettoness" however, i dont believe that in her case. she once did a photo shoot of the black girl that the industry has turned white, i think that was her doing some self-reflection.

The show is very entertaining. Tyra is not, she's such a showhorse. But I don't appreciate the comments that Paulina P has since made after being fired. The show is a good catalyst for girls who want to start modeling and put their face out their. The only choices that I felt were terrible was Season 4 (Naima), but their was not much to choose from. Season 5 (Nicole), such a bore, but again not much to choose from and Season 9 (mushroom head, Selesta (sp)). What was she thinking. The others have made a name for themselves when they've put for the effort.

What was the poll talking about? When did Adrianne diss Tyra?

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO KNOW WHEN DID ADRIENNE DISS TYRA AND WHAT WAS SAID.

Tyra Banks is an amazing idividual and should be remembered always for her insperational words and her talent in modeling. ANTM has had me hooked since the start and i cant wait to try my luck at it:)

I admire Tyra for her spirit, intelligence, and caring attitude! I will admit that I am not top model material, but I would like to see an episode of America's Next Top Model with all male candidates.

Watching reruns reminds me of how I got hooked on ANTM. It's so formulaic now (but I'm still obsessed). But please Tyra -- in the United States we do not put the s on toward. That bothers me everytime she says it. This is not Britain's Next Top Model.

Hey i am 12 years old and i am in love with antm tyra i hope you keeping making more shows until i am old enough to be on your show.

p.s i am am practicing

you know that show "make me a super model" i think there competing against you but antm is much better

you can clearly see the difference between this first season and the present one. you can see it in the panel. it used to be a tent now it's this fancy schmancy shiny room.

I wish I could send Tyra a message about ANTM, and something I see happening often during the discussions the judges have about the photographs the of the models.

tyra I personally think that you should make an antmje{americas next top model junior edition} I think that having it will embrace girls from the ages of 10-17 to really make there dreams of being a model be as good as the ones on antm!

i love tyra she is so crazy i wish i was her.i am cheyanne and i am 10 years old going on to 11 on aug 20 i want 2 be on americans next top model if i can and tyra looks like my bff torri by

Dear Tyra,
I am really glad that you are the host of this show. You teach people to have faith in themselves and thats something I don't see very much of. I'm glad that you have gone through what these girls have gone through, your a great woman, and a great role model.

tyra rules don't even say your her bigest fan
im only 12 and i really want to be a model i even got asked to be even though i do not think i am pretty

no she is not eva and jaslene.

I love Americas Next Top Model! I love everything about it. I think Tyra is the best and I really want to be on the show. I am 11 and ANTM is like pretty much my favorite show ever!

I started watching the show 3 years ago in reruns when I was off from work for 4 months due to horrible flare up of my psoriasis, and now I am hooked. My husband laughs at me for watching but I think self confidience is important. My children have special needs and Heather was great and so beautiful. But I have to say my all time fav is Danielle.

so glad you dont have ms #&@% inson siting at the desk with you all , she just brings the poor gairls donwn like the time with that crazy JADE who ever planet she was on i hope she is still on it with ms D .

Hello, thank you for this great blog, a truly great beginning to the 2010, keep up the fantastic work, Clare.

Psoriasis can really suck esp. when your a kid in high school. I had it all for 3 years of my high school career. Then I said enough was enough and decided to do some research on the subject. After trying 10's of products i found this all natural cure that worked for me. Havent had psoriasis since

I really figured that these so called doctors would have a cure for psoriasis that isnt hit or miss. I mean this really agitates me, it's not like its cancer or something. I've had

Of course, what a great site and informative posts, I will add backlink - bookmark this site? Regards,

Nice post. Keep up the good work

Wow! what an idea ! What a concept ! Beautiful .. Amazing …
