Elle used to be the "prize" on Top Model now it's the "prize" on Project Runway ...no surprise

What's with all the Tyra bashing? Sure she's loud and contradicts herself, but I'm sure most of you would ask for her autograph or at least say hi if she was behind you at the checkout.
I wouldn't.

I'd ask her if she's casting for assistants so she doesn't have to do her own food shopping.

Tyra is fierce and I don't fault her one bit for making $$ and providing great television because I bet most of our behinds will be right there in front of the television watching this trash despite all the naysaying

I need about 100% less Tyra in my life.
I despise her vapid programs.

People are so hateful here, for no damn reason

And by the number of people rubbishng ANTM, yet spending a good portion of their lives in the ANTM thread and watching the show,
I'll guess that this new venture will be a success.

I'll have to at least WATCH THE SHOW, before saying anything.

And people have to remember, Tyra is here to make money first and foremost.

OT: this is te 2nd time this year i've defended Tyra, what is hapening to me

the position is supposedly one working under creative director joe zee, not tyra...
as someone who loves magazines, i would LOVE this...
his work for W, elle and vitals is amazing, and i see this show being very interesting...

i have a feeling tyra's role on this show will be more like heidi's role on project runway...
i'm wondering what all the hate is about too...
what does heidi know about clothes other than wearing them?

I think the Tyra hatred comes from her general personality which (at least for me) is incredibly grating. I used to like ANTM the first couple of seasons after awhile the thrill was gone. As for Tyra's talk show it makes The Ricki Lake Show look like Masterpiece Theatre and just have a hard time watching her. She tries very very hard to project this persona and it just doesn't work for me - it comes across as fake. She has this way of making everything about her.

At least thats how she comes across to me. I just find her very annoying and overexposed at this point. ANTM still has its moments though.

But I'm biased, I never liked her as a model either. Its weird since I appreciate that she is successful and I think what she's done with her career is great in theory but at the same time I just roll my eyes whenever she's onscreen.

OK. I'm getting off topic. I suppose this show could potentially be interesting if Joe Zee is involved. Oh, who am I kidding, I'll watch at least one episode of anything.
