Top Model

Oh, Tyra!

"I had to arch my back on a block of ice and stones for 6 hours and I was freezing, my booty was aching, but I made every shot perfect. That's what a top model does" - Tyra Banks

How can anyone not love this show? It's so ridiculously camp that it's becoming a cult favourite here in the UK, as something you either love or hate. I almost wouldn't class it as a reality show because so much is staged and everyone looks too gorgeous for any kind of reality.

Tyra...oh my. I love how she loves herself so much that it's funny, and the apartment is decorated with images of her, and how her hairstyle, and sometimes skin colour changes in every scene. It's a riot! Cycle 4 is a weird one. I haven't a favourite among them yet and Tiffany is about to get kicked off...so that means the classic "Be Quiet!" episode where Tyra goes nuts!

Bring out the DVDs!!!
