How do people sign up to get onto the show I have never seen anything about it for future seasons. I was just curious.

olivia Sun, Mar 30, 2008 at 04:19 PM EST

I wanted to say that I watch the show every day that it is on and I really wish I could be on I mean I have loved this sense I was 2 yrs old.The only thing is I am 11 1/2 I wanted you Tyra to think about the fact that there are so many young girls out there that wish they were next!The only thing is that I wouldn't think that the girls woul nesseserely want to be on magezines but to even be able to meet you would be a young girl's dream.So please,please think about it.

Okay, Tyra redeemed herself in cycle 9 by banning smoking in the house. I still didn't enjoy the photo of Tyra with a cigarette in her hand or even the "glamorous" side of each photo of a contestant smoking. However, the bottom line of no more cigarettes on ANTM is a HUGE LEAP forward. Good job Tyra :-)

Nijera Mon, Feb 4, 2008 at 06:31 PM EST

All the models are beautiful to me in many ways.

Nijera Mon, Feb 4, 2008 at 06:29 PM EST

I'm 18, and I have a child. I'm struggling in my last year of high school without any help, and I would love, and dream of becoming a model. Americas Next. For my child Amillian, and me. Oh! just in case you want to know I don't have any strecth marks.

M. Eberl Sun, Jan 13, 2008 at 10:43 AM EST

I am watching an old episode on MTV and they just showed a bunch of the girls lying around smoking! Young girls look up to these girls and want to be like them. Showing the models smoking perpetuates tobacco as glamorous. Why would the producers allow smoking in the house? It looked like packs of Parliaments. Maybe Parliament gave the show $$$. Unbelievable. Tyra get a conscience.

meghan Thu, Jan 3, 2008 at 07:28 PM EST

Tyra you are a very pretty person and i think you have great judging and i dont think your ever unfair!!! I wish i could meet you but i already did in my dreams

Sarah Thu, Nov 8, 2007 at 12:25 AM EST

I love ANTM, but I have one question. Why did they cut Sarah? She was beautiful. They are not happy w/ the plus size models, but then they get Sarah and she's totally average and they say they don't know what to catagorize her as. How about FABULOUS. Too fat too skinny...what is it, make up your mind.

Anonymous Thu, Oct 18, 2007 at 08:56 PM EST

I like Chantal!

Sadie Tue, Sep 25, 2007 at 01:49 PM EST

I adore Chantal, she is so beautiful and so perfect for a model. I love her look and she is tall so she could do runway!
Tyra called a size 8 plus size? Ah, I guess it may be true, it's not fat but it's not skinny either. I'm WAY below a size 8.
I think the winner of this cycle should by far be Chantal.
I heard the other day that season 2 winner Yoanna House is 5'11", I'm 5'11" and to think I thought I didn't have anything in common with her!

sparrowzeye Thu, Sep 6, 2007 at 12:15 PM EST

I am a 31 year old mother of 2 and I absolutely LOVE ANTM...my girlfriends and I ritually get together on Wednesdays during the season and have girls nite. It's fun, entertaining and a great vehicle for young models to showcase themselves. Go Tyra! haters stop bloggin' about it if u don't like the show...

elephantgirl Sat, Sep 1, 2007 at 10:39 PM EST

Tyra Banks shame on you! How dare you or anyone associated with this show call anyone size 8/10 plus size. Holy cow I wear size 7 and Now I Feel like maybe I need to diet and I thought I looked fine. Reality check sister, come to Kentucky and see a real woman (shes lucky to be a size 8)

Raechel Tue, Aug 28, 2007 at 08:09 AM EST

The girl on the top left, Saleisha ftw, she is beautiful

Karen Mon, Aug 27, 2007 at 06:22 PM EST

Janet is an experienced "skin care specialist" who graduated first in her class from Aveda Institute, which happens to be a VERY well known program. I should know, I'm her mother! I could not be prouder!!!!

BB fan Mon, Aug 27, 2007 at 02:37 PM EST

Hey - where's Amber from BB8?? She thinks she's a shoe-in for this!

Scare Sun, Aug 26, 2007 at 03:18 PM EST

I can't wait to see how much show time Tyra wastes talking about her self

t3hdow Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 05:23 PM EST

Count me out. I kind of had my fill of this show after cycle 6. Maybe a VH1 or MTV marathon here and there, but I seldom try to make an effort to view this show anymore. I barely watched the past two cycles, so I doubt it will be any different this time.

Garrett Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 03:50 PM EST

The models look much more mature then in seasons past. What is the average age?

GoddessLu Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 12:29 PM EST

Size 8 is plus size? In what, Lilliput?

Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 12:27 PM EST

Amanda--gurl (thanks Ashton!) it's always been about catfights--where you been? Sadie--the crazy one always has been & always will be Miss Tyra, whose stylist should be visited by the Foreign Legion lineup crew. I'm lovin me some ANTM and yes I am ashamed...

Amanda Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 11:52 AM EST

I stopped watching this show after it became all about catfights, and people were being cast for drama not top model potential. The only way they could get me to watch again is if they did an all plus-size edition and bring back all those girls from previous cycles who got the boot because they weren't a size 2.

Ms Daisy Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 11:48 AM EST

Hopefully Tyra has a new stylist this season - whoever is responsible for dressing her last season should have been fired.

ashton Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 11:45 AM EST

gurl, i know whatchu mean! i love me some tyra banks! she is the queen of FIERCE. but anyways i gotta go - i gots me a hair appointment gurl! time for a new weave! Heyyyyyyyyyy!

Sheniqua Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 11:40 AM EST

this show is strangely addicting... hopefully some of the girls are crazy this season. it's much more entertaining to watch a nervous breakdown or drunken escapade! WORK!

Jen Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 10:56 AM EST

Could someone please explain to me why I watch this show? I try not to, but I can't help myself.

Sadie Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 10:33 AM EST

This show is my dirty little secret. I catch the reruns and marathons on VH1 and MTV every now and again. I think my favorite part of the show is how contradictory Tyra is -- one minute she's fussing at Caridee for staying in the cold water too long and the next she's fussing at her because she had to get out. Huh?

Can't wait to see who the crazy one is this season!!

Laura Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 10:11 AM EST

Well, famous is something that's hard to judge if you're not paying attention to the fashion world (I don't). But I see Dani from time to time in Cover Girl ads and commercials (I think she's one of the girls on the red carpet in the Queen Latifiah mascara commercial). But if you believe all the where are they now specials, it looks as if most of the girls wind up doing something in modelling, even the ones that don't win.

Anna Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 09:53 AM EST

The black girl on the far left in the center row looks odd here and in her picture up on cw. like she doesnt know what she's doing. and the girl on the bottom right looks terrified on her picture on cw. both of them will be gone early i think.

Stephen Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 09:35 AM EST

Never watched it before, but I have a feeling Tyra would babble on about
"Girls, you need to be tough. When those pics came out of me in the tabloids, I developed a thick skin. You see, I didn't gain 40 lbs, not that there's anything wrong with that. What I do empowers women, to say 'so what' to physica flaws. I will help all of you, just like I helped all struggling women."

MAC Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 09:10 AM EST

Is that Alanis Morisette in the front row?
Also, an aesthetician is someone who specializes in waxing (eyebrows, bikini lines, etc.) and facials at salons and spas. Apparently it is you who doesn't know what it is!

D Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 09:05 AM EST

I'd let any one of these fine ladies get with me...again.

Sally Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 08:06 AM EST

I've never watched this show....but it occurred to me...have any of the PAST models become famous? Are they working anywhere? Would I know them if I saw them?

ceej Fri, Aug 24, 2007 at 02:08 AM EST

is it just me, or the the black girl with the short hair in the middle just have "the look"? I mean, dang, she looks like a pro! that being said, the blonde on her bottom left and the brunette with the long hair also have a quality.

Todd Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 11:19 PM EST

Is it just me or does the girl on the far right (in the middle) look very much like Jade in that picture? Lets just hope she acts like Jade too, so we can at least be amused all season.

Ned Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 10:38 PM EST

"Aesthetician"?

What the hell is that? An expert in aesthetics?

I find it hard to believe that any of these girls even knows what the word "aesthetics" means.

toner Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 10:13 PM EST

The plus sized girl is Sarah (standing next to Ambreal, the african american girl with short hair).

I have to say these girls look amazing so far, especially compared to the crappiness that was last cycle (Jaslene???)

Snarf Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 09:54 PM EST

That being said inner beauty never got anyone laid.

kindredspirit Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 09:27 PM EST

Yeah, I agree with below. Sad day indeed. Why do people care so much about this crap? Pretty people, pretty clothes, pretty , pretty , pretty. Duhhhh.

ANTM fan Thu, Aug 23, 2007 at 07:58 PM EST

I don't know why I watch, but I do! This year the "plus-size" model (as Tyra called her on TV yesterday) is a size 8. It's a sad day for women everywhere.
