'We all have background stories..


..and that's what this show is about"

And that's the problem!! I hate all the sob stories. It should be about their looks and ability to model! Not this background bull *beep*

Watch Australia's Next Top Model for a real modelling competition, Tyra has made ANTM a joke.

I agree!

And that one girl (with the eyebrows) was saying "I deserve to be ANTM because I had a lot of obstacles and hardships..." Are you kidding me? Does being a MODEL and taking good picture not count anymore??? They should just take homeless people off the streets and put them in this show :/

It's gotten so bad that these girls are now believing that they will win based solely on their rough childhoods and complicated lives! SMH

It's the entitlement mentality of kids in this generation. They all think somebody owes them.

And when they get booted early, the histrionics are ridiculous. Instead of crying about it like a child who didn't get the pony she wanted, why not apply themselves and work a little harder to achieve their goals!

But... They are right.


This isn't really a modelling competition. It's a reality show.

When all reality shows like singing shows, cooking shows, designing shows or whatever make an even bigger deal of people's "hardships" and "sob stories" than what they are actually about - why do you expect people not to aim for it?

If I were auditioning for something like this, knowing that sob stories is what the producers are looking for and therefore will more likely get me on the show - why wouldn't I talk about that and nothing else?

I took that as her trying to say she has risen above it and is a fighter.

I agree! ANTM is based on that. That's why 1/2 of the contestants have been picked.
