All in all, ANTM is the least respected version of Top Model because of the aspects of modeling it choses to focus on.
I personally respect Tyra Banks very much, however i must agree to a certain extent with the poster who said Tyra is part of the reason why ANTM is the way it is today. As long as Tyra is aboard, ANTM will continue to be the Big Sister program it is today.
Its sort of funny when Tyra Banks says that Nigel Barker is a noted fashion photographer, yet I`ve never heard of him. Does anyone know who he's shot? Also, I think Tyra stresses too much on the personality of the contestants because once they lose their bubbly personality they are GONE!
