Bravo's Make Me a Supermodel

**ChrissyM** · 10-01-2008

The first episode of this show just aired..
i couldn't seem to find a thread on it in here so i figured i'd start one..

hosted by Nikki Taylor and Tyson Beckford it looks like we actually get to vote on who we want to save (from the bottom three) each week..

i just watched and found it entertaining and more realistic than shows like america's next top model..

any other opinions?

Bravo is on the hunt for the next great Supermodels with hosts Niki Taylor and Tyson Beckford. It begins by unveiling the top 24 beautiful and talented men and women who will compete for a spot on the new reality competition series "Make Me A Supermodel." In a casting special, the 24 finalists will be whittled down to the 14 models that will ultimately compete for $100,000 and a modeling contract with New York Model Management -- a professional modeling agency committed to promoting top talent and exciting new faces to the fashion industry with a roster of models that includes Elle Macpherson, Sarah O’Hare, Omahyra, Travis and Mathias.

During the run of the series, Bravo viewers will vote each week to determine who stays to walk the "Supermodel" catwalk again and who goes home. Over a 12-week period, 14 hopefuls will live together in a New York City loft and explore friendships, romance and naked ambition while undergoing a series of creative challenges designed to test their professional modeling potential. This series will explore what it takes to turn the exceptionally good-looking into the king or queen of the catwalk.

"Make Me A Supermodel" is produced by Tiger Aspect Productions, a division of IMG Media. Lisa Perrin, Andrew Zein and Jamie Munro are executive producers. It is based on the successful UK series.

apparently you can vote up to 10 times per voting method..
so you could vote 10 times online, and 10 times from as many phones as you can get your hands on..
once was enough for me though

Damn this Time Zone!!
I just can't stand having to see the commercial six times a day but I'll probaly watch.maybe

tyson is HOT!

Smoldering!

not that I'm straight or anything...

I like the girl with the big ears...hot walk and great personality...I just saw the pre-show (Meet the models) though. I'll watch the first episode tonight...

Definitely looks more promising than ANTM since industry folks are actually involved in choosing the models for the show.

**ChrissyM** · 10-01-2008

i keep trying to get on bravo's web site so i can vote but they must be inundated by people trying to get on there or something because it won't load

boo!

i also wanted to post the "about" info they have about the show but i can't seem to access that either

i'll probably just add that to my first post later..

electricladyland · 10-01-2008

I wonder how the voting thing goes...Because it the preview show they made it seem like the viewers only get to vote for a couple of the models...

which is probably a good thing...

This show turns out to be a good one. Tyra you better be scared!

That one blonde boy from Atlanta (Carson?) is dreeeamy

EDIT: Haha, his name is Casey. I can't wait to see this episode!

Whatever happened to Igor? I guess he didn't make it on but kind of weird to put him in the promos.

I was wondering the same thing actually..
he's in all of the promos but the prison guard who actually won the online vote and is on the show isn't in the promos..

very strange..
i thought it would somehow be explained in the premier episode last night but there was absolutely no mention..

**Inaya** · 11-01-2008

The fact that the general population's votes are what will pick the winner just makes it a sham, imo (although I will still watch it

). Most people don't 'get' what makes a model a model. They think models should be "hot" and "pretty" and don't understand that it's about so much more, in high fashion especially, so for me these shows are always a bit pointless.

Look at ANTM... they are casting 25 yr olds, 5'5" girls who aren't always photogenic -- all of these things are unrealistic in the modeling world!

While MMAS seems like the hosts have a better idea than Tyra at what a model should be, I still am really skeptical. I am addicted to loads of silly shows, though, so I'll def be watching. It's early yet so maybe it will turn out to be a good show, I don't mean to be so negative about it

I hope Dominic doesn't go...

I don't see what's so great about Perry? His look is slightly off, like a poor man's Jamie Dornan, plus his upper body is way to big...

xmodel citizen · 11-01-2008

I hope Dominic stays too! That guy is so gorgeous. And he has the best body on the show IMO.

|PerfectTonight| · 11-01-2008

My favorites;
01. Shannon
02. Stephanie
03. Holly
04. Casey
05. Dominic(hopefully he stays)
06. Jacki

[bravo]

Love Holly
Hate Casey. I think it's a personality thing and his nose bothers me.

So much better than ANTM.
