Anyone else sick of this social media crap?


The hell does this all have to do with being a top model? We're on episode 3 or 4, can't really remember, and we've only done 2 or 3 actual photoshoots and NO runway walk challenges. Are they trying to create the next Kendall Jenner or something? Really not liking this formula and the panel. Ashley is the only one whose opinion really matters since she's a model but she's not giving great critiques.

It does feel like that's what they're going for. The prize isn't even modeling related. 1 year talent contract sounds like a reality show to me.

I'm liking the reboot but I'm with you. More photos and fashion please.

Wet suit plus harness is very package-y

While I am enjoying the reboot but the emphasis should be on fashion and photos.

I think it's much less ridiculous than when Bryan Boy was on the show

I repressed that thank you very much LOL

Yes! and all this Branding BS Rita had them out there selling Her undies by pumping them up
with that crap. That $ is going in her pocket

Superstars aren't born everyday and that lil
fat fluck is filling their heads with that nonsense!
I hate that dude , he's obnox! He's so far
from SStar it's not even funny.
These chicks are nasty at best, the one girl
mentioned BGC?.. well she was wrong, that's exactly where she should be right along with
Binta

As for the judges, only one ..Ashley is qualified
but her critiques are lacking.
The other judge doesn't even know how to
apply a lacefront wig & neither do his minions
I couldn't believe it ! & he's judging somebody else?! Thankfully he corrected that . Smh

The other judge, I don't know From Adam

Yea, I think it feels very arbitrary and impractical. There are people that have tons of followers, for one reason or another, but no real substance. Social media stars and made and forgotten overnight.

I agree whole-heartedly. I had hope that this cycle would go back to the basics of what made this show so compelling during the earlier seasons. I love unique photo shoots and thoughtful panel critiques. I feel like both of these are seriously lacking this cycle. The photo shoots have been pretty lame so far, especially this last one (the social media 'story'), which was just plain awful. Worse yet is the critiques at panel. I got so tired of Tyra and Kelly and crew in the past few seasons, but at least they shared specific opinions about each photo. I don't think I've heard anything from this group aside from, "I love it" or "I don't like it" or something equally as vague. And some of the photos they've hyped would have been ripped to shreds in seasons past.

I really hope they can tone down the emphasis on the social media aspect of the show and get back to what made the show fun.

I'm glad to know it's not just me. I was thinking I'm just getting too old for it. I don't understand why krislian won this week when one of her three photos was just shoes. What does that have to do with being a model? Taking a pic on your phone of shoes. Smh.

reply

I feel like I probably AM getting too old for this *beep* But I also feel like the focus on social media is one of the things that made the last few cycles so annoying...so the fact that they've doubled down on it with this cycle is disappointing. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't follow any of these chicks on social media, especially not the few that they've decided to focus on (Krislian, Courtney, Tash, Cody, Binta) I'm just saying, if they wanted to turn this girl into a celebutante with millions of followers, they should've cast some girls with decent personalities because so far this group is about as interesting as watching paint dry.

reply

The social media aspect is really annoying. Is this America's next top model or America's next top attention wh*re? I really wish this show would go back to it's roots.
