I hate everything about the new version of Top Model. The change in cast and format really destroyed everything that made the show fun and interesting to watch. I'm watching it, but with about the same amount of enthusiasm I have for Breaking Amish: Los Angeles, which is basically background noise while I do laundry. Kelly is probably the most annoying and useless judge this show has ever seen. The desperate desire to be so trendy with social media and iPads and flixels or whatever they're called has taken what little integrity the show had (which was on a slow decline since cycle 7) and turned it into second-rate MTV programming.
Phil is my favorite guy, although I would love to see him without body hair. I thought he was the most attractive guy until his "makeover" and then they made him the least attractive. I was just glad they didn't touch his body hair which I find to be one of his best features. Too bad he's such an idiot with a crappy personality. Chris is beautiful, but something of a douchebag. I don't find Marvin attractive at all or really very model-y. Yes, he has pronounced bone structure in his face, but to me, his proportions are all wrong.
But what do I know? I'm not a judge and I used to watch this show to hear the judges' opinions. Now I get to see Youtube clips of enthusiastic twentysomethings give their "expert" opinions and help decide who goes home. And all through the erroneous and annoying liaison known as Brianboy. Ugh. Can you imagine if they did this for Top Chef and Project Runway? Double-ugh.
I've tried to root for the models, but I really just feel sorry for them since they have to put up with this awful format and the terrible new cast.
