America's Next Top Model

The CW's latest season of America's Next Top Model: British Invasion has outdone itself, not.

18 seasons into it and I'm not convinced Tyra Banks is keeping up with the quality of the models, nor the show at that. 

Banks has evidently lost heart in ANTM and the long time ANTM fixtures— Noted fashion photographer, Nigel Barker; runway trainer, Miss J. Alexander and creative director, Jay Manuel, have been cited to be given the axe after this season wraps up.

ANTM ratings have taken a sharp plunge and the demise of the show would not surprise loyal audience like me.

The dramatised cattiness models feigned in front of the cameras has lost their effect. Let’s just face it, these are aspiring models, not of acting calibre. The only saving grace is that for once, the models are actually speaking English! Half of the lot anyway. For the good of The CW, the wise decision would be to can it. Even the opening credits that were once cool have lost its flavour, watching Tyra Banks taking a taste of her ear wax, then offering it to the camera (yuck), is not my idea of modelesque.   ‘Nuff said.
