T.V. Show Review - “Americas Next Top Model: Cycle 7″
GRADE: B+
Last night was the season finale of “ANTM” Cycle 7, and unlike past years, I loved the winner. Caridee was in the top two with Melrose. And by the skin of her teeth, Caridee won the top prize.
Melrose took the news pretty bad. I actually felt sorry for her when she explained that she was “just sad”. But anyone named Melanie Rose, who changes her name to Melrose, is just a douchebag. Caridee was a silly, genuine funny gal. Melrose was in essence just a fake person.
The work that Caridee and Melrose did in front of the camera were complete opposites. Melrose shined down the runway live in front of the judges, where as Caridee came often came off goofy and a bit sloppy in her presentation. But you could not deny that Caridee had the best pictures, hands down!
This season pleased me more than the last, but Tyra is starting to come off as way too dramatic. A few people I have talked to have said that she acts and looks like a drag queen. Ouch! Really though, her over the top explanations during judging were campy if not just bizarre.
I am excited to see the next season of “ANTM” which looks like it will be taking place in England. I even heard there will be a “ANTM” plus size competition. Big girls + reality TV = DRAMA!! I cannot wait! This show is pretty consistent, it is the ghetto step child of “Project Runway”. But it is a gay as hell piece of pop culture fluff that I cannot get enough of.
