AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL: CYCLE ONE has 14 beautiful contestants taking part in a series of tests over the course of the series to determine who has the sheer strength, will and attitude to make it as America’s Next Top Model. Along with Tyra Banks, notable fashion editors, photographers and agency reps judge the girls each week and decide who should pack their bags and go home and who becomes one step closer to being America’s next top model.
America's Next Top Model reveals the complex decisions, responsibilities and intellectual challenges models face on a daily basis. Not only are contestants required to navigate the streets of Paris, two even participate in a major fashion show.
The most exciting part of the show is definitely the challenges the contestants face. The desire to overcome all obstacles seems to be the key to traversing the distance between obscurity to fame.
During each show, a panel of fashion experts decides on who will be cut from the show. Dreams are dashed as beautiful women show weaknesses and character flaws.
The bikini wax session showed what women have to endure for beauty. The models then endure cold temperatures to model swimsuits on a rooftop.
The photo shoots were often very energetic, and you can see why models need to be younger. Robin is the oldest model, on the show. Her religious beliefs create an interesting interplay between Elyse and Adrianne, who then become friends when Robin becomes a little too controlling.
Robin ends up in a Garden of Eden type setting (complete with a snake) and also has to make decisions about nude photo shoots.
The stress of competition brings out a great deal of insecurity and self-esteem issues.
Tyra Banks completely scrutinizes every aspect of each photo shoot. Her eye for detail is exquisite, and she also tried to give the girls a boost in their confidence, with carefully selected positive comments.

By SheilaJoan (4 reviews) from England , 24 Jun 2008The ultimate guilty pleasure, AMERICA'S TOP MODEL contains all the makings of great television: catty drama, nude photo shoots, backstabbing, and skinny girls with attitude. In the season that started it all, 20 girls are chosen out of thousands of eager applicants to compete for the ultimate prize: a contract with Wilhelmina Models, a spread in Marie Claire Magazine, and a contract with Revlon. The finalists are flown to LA, where they must strut their stuff for a panel of celebrity judges composed of Janet Dickenson (who describes herself as 'the world's first supermodel'); Beau Quillan (fashion director of Marie Claire Magazine); Kimora Lee Simmons (self-proclaimed 'Shopaholic,' and CEO of the Baby Phat clothing line); and of course, Ms. Banks herself. Ten out of the 20 girls are then chosen to fly to New York, where they will live together in a supremely girly penthouse in midtown Manhattan.
Created and hosted by supermodel-actress-recording artist Tyra Banks, the show also features regular appearances by entertaining characters like Jay Manuel, and J. Alexander, who dresses in drag to teach the girls the art of walking on the runway. Each week, the girls receive 'Tyra Mail' containing clues to their next photo shoot. In these shoots, the girls must prove that they deserve the title of America's Next Top Model, even if it means posing with potentially deadly Cobras or modeling bikinis in the dead of winter atop a Manhattan high-rise. After each photo shoot, the celebrity judges evaluate each contestant's potential (often prompting tearful breakdowns), and one girl is eliminated. The drama doesn't contain itself to the runway however, as tensions run high in the girls's shared living space, with catfights erupting over everything from religious differences to who left their dishes in the kitchen sink. This set includes the complete first season, containing nine episodes with names that say it all, such as 'The Girl who Gets Really Naked,' 'The Girl Gets Rushed the Emergency Room,' and 'The Girl Deals with a Pervert.'- Was this review helpful to you?
