http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/25/AMERICAS-NEXT-TOP-MODEL----The-Girl-Who-Gets-A.aspx Six episodes in and I am tempted to crown this season of AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL the most boring ever. The two best moments from tonight’s episode involved Jay Manuel. It’s bad when the tired old creative director steals the show. But it’s hard to ignore Jay’s talking head when he’s wearing hot pink lipstick. Honey, I’m not sure that’s your best shade. I laughed out loud when after a very bad shoot, he told Ambreal to trust her innate self because that what was natural to her. Well, duh. For the challenge this week, the girls had to become spokes-models for a cause, (Keep A Child Alive, which builds treatment centers for AIDS patients in Africa.) They all swoon when Tyson Beckford shows up at their door. I yawned. There was something rather creepy about this guy trying to get the girls to act sexy and sell something. He enjoyed it a little too much, I think. Maybe if I were a guy, I’d be more understanding, but some of these girls are pretty young, and Tyson’s, well ... not. As I watched the girls, divided into three teams, competently perform their public service announcements I realized something. They were all competent. This season there is no over-the-top character to keep us entertained with her unwarranted diva madness. And there’s no one super trashy to laugh at as she gets it oh-so-very wrong. And there’s no awesome combination of the two.  Where is Jade, who was larger then life in her absolute ridiculousness and insistence on referring to herself in the third person? Where is YiaYia with her haughty demeanor? Where is Melrose with her backstabbing ways, and her foil Caridee? Where is the drama??? en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/25/AMERICAS-NEXT-TOP-MODEL----The-Girl-Who-Gets-A.aspx 77 60
