Britain's Next Top Model

[susie_bubble]

BNTM is coming for the first time to UK and it starts tomorrow on LivingTV at 9pm.

I've looked over the profiles of all the girls on http://www.livingtv.co.uk/model/main.php?section=models
They're definitely a lot edgier looking and less conventionally pretty than the American girls. I think Steph and Naomi will go far.
Any Brits here dying to see this show??

 

[vintage_princess]

I think im going to see if its any good..but american shows always seem better to watch than british ones though

 

[testinofan]

mmm difucult question

 

[adorefaith]

hmmm....
i'm not in the uk....wish i was, so i could watch this.....

i'm a sucker for these silly shows!.....

no-one is 'wow' to me.....but from the pictures.....
i like the look of lucy, naomi and steph....
perhaps, and only perhaps, shauna too.....though that picture is quite awkward.....

i'd love to see more pictures....!!!!

thanks for posting this....

 

[hotpinky]

I'm not impressed by any of the pictures.... but if I were in the UK I'd probably watch it anyway

The girls are average and most of them are too old for serious modelling.

 

[susie_bubble]

Yeah, they had to send in audition tapes for the show so I'm thinking the TV execs probably chose ppl who would be entertaining to get their ratings up, rather than ACTUAL potential serious models.

some of the audition tapes are so funny! some girls even start stripping :S

they are all ugly btw

i like australian next top model more

The thing I like about British modelling shows (Model Behaviour and Make me a Supermodel) is that they tend to have photoshoots that are more edgy and realistic and less 'stagey' than say ANTM where the photoshoots are a bit comical really. Also, ANTM almost always chooses models which are just pretty girls who aren't really all that high fashion.

I think the BNTM girls' profile photos are pretty bad but I think their looks could be classed as quirky rather than conventionally beautiful anyway.
Look at Alice from Make me a Supermodel. She's not exceptionally beautiful but comes up trumps in the photoshoots.

I'm an Alice fan tho coz we both went to the same school (GO HBS!)

Not sure what HBS is but I always loved Alice, and that photoshoot you posted was amazing. She was great in it.

I don't get the living tv channel so I won't be able to see it but I'm excited for it none the less. A lot of those girls aren't tall enough though...5'7? Don't think any of them are appealing enough to pull a kate moss

 

[susie_bubble]

HBS stands for Henrietta Barnett School. It's a North London girls grammar school and Alice and I are both HBS girls!

Yeah, the height thing is very strange. But I guess they couldn't find people that were 5"10 and were also potential TV ratings boosters.

 

[BBgIZzZMo]

I think shorter models can still look good on anything if they got a great face & legs!
who knows they might look great with make up? make up is like "MAGIC"

 

[VICTIM]

my god this is gonna be sooooo bad that its gonna be good lol none of the girls are appealing they're all a bit old just to be starting out and like none of them are tall enough

 

[mdankwah]

^ that's exactly my sentiments, i watched some of the audition tapes and most of the girls were glamour models

 

[vintage_princess]

^

I noticed their height as well and they arent even that tall

 

[Kalista]

I don't think it will be as good as ANTM, but I'll watch it anyway....

 

[i_<3_chanel]

none of them are striking.
all v.plain jane imo !
but i'll still watch it b/c i love programs like this

susie i'm an alice fan too !
so glad she won it !
& i loved tht photoshoot in NY

 

[Ithillien]

Im looking forward to it and i know Becky_da_da_da is too


I saw the audition tapes and OMG how did some of those girls get that far!!

 

[susie_bubble]

I read in the previews that it's just an hour long bitchfest....shud be interesting
Chanel Did you see that show on Channel 5 about what the models are up to after the show? Jasmine was just going on and on about how without her, the show was nothing. It was hilarious!

 

[vintage_princess]

Im watching it now...none of the girls look like top model potentials at all!
