"What Ever Happened To Models Being Pretty? "
I don't understand why Sarah and especially Jael are still there.
Jael may be tall and slim but her face is unattractive and her skin is horrible. I don't know if she is a junkie herself but she looks and talks like one. ANTM needs to get real, nobody is going to book her for a modeling job!
Sarah is a short and has a pinhead and is not pretty enough to be ANTM. I think her personality is also a dud. She reminds me of that "type A" a-hole that wants to check another thing off her “things I must accomplish in life” list.
Why are they keeping some of these ugly girls when they know they don't cut it? Each season it becomes more and more apparent that this is a reality show not a modeling competition.

I guess they are going for edgy.

As Tyra, Ms. Jay, Nigel, etc state over and over and over each cycle:

Pretty girls are a dime a dozen, SuperModels are usually, somewhat unusual in their looks. Not enough to make them look freaky, but enough to set them apart from normal beauty. Then add on top of that the model attitude and how they carry themselves and present themselves, and you have Models that are good looking, somewhat edgy and can carry themselves with pride no matter how they look.

If you want simple beauties, then join a pageant, models need more, IMO.



It is astonishing how foolish humans can be in groups, especially when they follow their leaders without question - States: The Bene Gesserit View. All States Are an Abstraction.

I've actually wondered that myself. Especially with all the "ugly" behavior featured in the house. I think personality, intelligence, and humor are a big part of beauty.

Like the guest judge (female) said last night in regard to Jael: "If she came in for an open call I would just say, NEXT"! Obviously a model needs to be more than just pretty but I think having a pretty face should be a part of the package.

I don't really think anybody that's ever been on the show is truly ugly (with maybe the exception of Kathy and Wendy from Cycle 6...*vomits*). In fact I don't think a lot of models are conventionally "pretty", but what matters more is their overall attitude/appearance and whether or not they're photogenic.

As for Jael, I don't think she's ugly. As a matter of fact, she's my favorite model this season, I think her face and bone structure is awesome.

And I have to disagree with the fact that it's "more and more apparent that this is a reality show". It's always been a reality show, the whole point is to get ratings to make money. Every television show has to have an internal conflict, reality television or otherwise. If there isn't a plot (even if the plot is minimal), there isn't a show. That's why the editors have to cut the footage to make someone the b*tch, someone the sweetheart, etc.

Every season has had "the b*tch", even from the beginning: Robyn (or Elyse, depending on how you look at it), Camille...

I don't think they've traded the stereotypes for bad models, though. Even this season, Renee's been typecasted as the jerk, but she still takes good photos.

Wow I think the op hit the nail on the head. Jael must've been a former junkie. She had a best friend die of an overdose while she was in the ANTM house. That explains her slow speech and the vapidness in her expressions when she talks. I think she would be a great person to meet but I honestly don't think she will be the winner.

I absolutely agree, there is something about her that isn't being said. I am glad she is clean now, if she is, which I assume she is seeing how she is on TV being taped at all times. But there is definitely a history I think.

Hopefully Jael isn't using drugs but at the party they attended she seeemed to have hit the alcohol pretty hard. I think her brain is fried.

I agree. If you compare the girls ANTM cast in the first few seasons to the girls cast in the later seasons, there's a HUGE difference! I don't know what happened.

It's even more apparent if you watch the foreign versions of Next Top Model. The majority of the girls on the foreign versions seem to have more model potential.

I suppose the judges were sick of "pretty girls" and that they were too safe and commercial.

I was told that some of the girls in Australia's Next Top Model were not very attractive, but i've never seen a international version of Top Model.

I watched the first season of Canada's Next Top Model and the girls didn't come across as polished as those on ANTM. There were some pretty ones but they went for the characters - the #####, the girl next door, the misunderstood, etc.

I'm hoping this cycle 2 this summer is better. It's being hosted by Jay Manuel so I'm guessing the photo shoots will be a little more interesting.

If Mr. Jay is the host, I wonder who will direct photoshoots? Jay might turn out to be a really harsh judge because he can be harsh during photoshoots if someone really sucks.
