Can you tell the people who worked on America's Next Top Model are the same people who do the Real World shows, including the Challenges? Yup. Same directors and everything. It's clear in the casting, because you can only be on the shows if you:
a) were once homeless. ANTM (see 1 below) INFERNO II
b) are schitzophrenic. ANTM INFERNO II
c) can, at times, be suspect of having a scorching case of Attention Defecit & Hyperactivity Disorder. ANTM INFERNO II
d) were once in a gang. ANTM INFERNO II
e) moonlight as a professional wrestler. ANTM INFERNO II
f) were pregnant at the age of 16. ANTM INFERNO II (see 2 below)
g) have an uncontrollable hair weave. ANTM INFERNO II
h) pray to Jesus all the time. ANTM INFERNO II
i) have slightly less fashion sense than a tribesman living in Papua New Guinea who wears gourds around his genitals. ANTM INFERNO II
j) once had a raging drug problem. ANTM INFERNO II (see 3 below)
k) make absolutely no sense when you speak. ANTM INFERNO II
l) are a bitch. ANTM INFERNO II
(1) That girl was cut--and she was the prettiest one in the bunch! WTF??
(2) At least MTV leaves this one off the air. But it's happened.
(3) Take your pick, there are soooo many MTVers who do. And yes, Shandi is from last season, but she's worth a re-visit, isn't she?
You are so right!! God...it is almost spooky the similarities....

Dan!
Are you watch The Amazing Race this season? Not just because there's a plethora of gay contestants on it this time round - but it's almost the greatest of all reality shows and I would absolutely love to hear your take on it.
Cheers :)

Oh, Dan! This is so exciting. I've finally discovered this blog, and you just happen to be talking about all my favorite shows! I thought I was the only one who loved and wanted to discuss Project Runway! America's Next Top Model! I love it, and you're hilarious!

How great is life when you get to hear Ms. Jay say, "you know how I feel about those no neck monstas"? I was too through after hearing that, and the consensus with me and my friends about the girl Michelle is, she looks like a Russian grapple wrestler, and yes the plus sized model and the Latina should have made it in over Michelle and Brandy. The big red wig and the gapped teeth are killing me, but I am an ANTM fan forever.

I saw Constantine on an episode of Elimidate last night. Who knows how old it was, since they probably aired it again now that he's on American Idol, just like they do that "Live Links" commercial with the girl from "Lost". Well anyway, the girl did not eliminate him, so I guess that means he won. He sang during the show. Probably not the highlight of his career.
