Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2009

[tlg00]

Honestly almost every girl that gets the fantasy bra gets it every other year

Not true. 9 different models have worn the fantasy bra. Of those 9, only 4 have worn it more than once. Of those 4, only 1 (Heidi) has worn it every other year. 1 out of 9. That's far from "almost every girl."

The other three models to wear it more than once had to wait 4 (Karolina), 5 (Gisele), and 7 (Tyra) years between stints. I think there are a couple of valid arguments that could be made for Adriana wearing the bra next year (and even more against her wearing it), but saying "almost every girl" wears it every other year is not one of them because it's not true.

I hope Doutzen doesn't loose her contract. I mean, she got it. I hope VS don't treat her like Selita and sack her. Doutzen is more than that.

you know... to get a really big audience.. VS doesn't need a network..

they could use the internet! stream it live or steam a broadcast. kind cool and different. but i guess that's last case scenario

Yeah, the last time they tried to do that, the internet crashed. I can't imagine VS being able to create or buy enough bandwidth so millions of people can view it at the same time. Especially since the internet is international, even more people will view it. The only way they could do it properly would be to severely cut the quality of the video and that would be horrible.

yeah. it's almost like back to the basics. but you're right. the quality would NOT be in HD. shame.

After much thinking, I think they should consider moving to NBC. I was looking through the channels and ABC uses really bad cameras, or have very bad broadcasting because the colors are not very sharp and a bit faded.

Still, anything is better than CBS. Haha.

Okay, for some reason we're bashing CBS instead of VS now.

Back to VS. haha.

So, im not really aware of the situation of all the channels here in US (since im not american), but if CBS is so bad then why does VS keep on using them?
Why havent they changed long time ago?

Well, annually broadcasted shows like The Academy Awards and The Grammy Awards have contracts with the networks, so I'm assuming VS has a long contract with CBS, or they just keep on renewing the annual contract instead. It's all about long term contracts in America, that's why people usually associate shows with a network since they're used to seeing it.

For example, The Academy Awards has a contract with ABC until 2014 and The Grammy Awards has a contract with CBS until 2011.

Also, there's a difference between studios and networks. Networks like ABC, CBS, and NBC usually just make a contract with studios so every show that studio produces will be strictly shown in that Network.

To make it simpler to understand, the studio that produces the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show may have a long term contract with CBS that prohibits them from showing the show first anywhere else.

To make it even more confusing, networks are generally owned by bigger companies called conglomerates, much like in fashion.

CW and CBS are owned by one conglomerate called CBS Corporation, that's why CW can air the show after CBS has aired it.

Hope that helps.

Honestly their best bet IMO would be to move to pay-per view, or become an NBC special, or even move to E! since they have an ongoing relationship with Ryan Seacrest productions. Make it a two hour special and yadda yadda

As for the bra tg, there aren't really a lot of things working against her not getting it like you say. She's one of, if not the most favored girl after Heidi in the lineup by VS exes, she's basically in training and has been for the last year or so to take over Heidi's spot, and her great big comeback next year is a huge deal. I wouldn't believe about the huge comeback unless I'd been told about a dozen times, and since they really aren't going to give that bra to Miranda, and we'll be lucky if they give it to Doutzen...they both don't have the fame for it and would be overshadowed in the bra if they did wear it. Like I said VS knows Heidi doesn't have the body for it anymore, Miranda with all her fame with Orlando, that really peaked this year and last, if they wanted to give it to her, would have because of that (example, Selita) They won't give it to marisa, because she had it this year, They won't give it to a new girl...because that's never happened, and I don't see it starting, Ale...IMO it took them THIS long to let her open, they aren't going to turn around and give her the fantasy bra that easily. I don't know why but I can actually see her getting it in 2011 if she receives it, and Doutzen it isn't quite sure if she'll renew. So Basically it's really down to Adriana and Doutzen...who will walk away with it...we won't know till next year but it's already becoming borderline obvious. But we'll see. Who knows.

I'm done with the fantasy bra talk...it's boring me, I'm moving on lol

 

[Zann]

haha CC one last thing! watch they give it to Behati and make it a PINK! Million dollar fantasy bra!

will never happen. but the thought of the idea alone can bring in the LOLs

 

[CoutureChic]

Lol!

 

[WerbowyStegner]

Totally unfortunate for KYLIE that ABB walked out after her , ABB really highlighted the difference between a verteran and an amateur.

 

[angldior]

So I heard that winner chick from the modeling search might be doing a swimwear photo shoot for VS

 

[Gabriel29]

I find it so hilarious and ditzy on CBS's part that you can actually see JAMIE LEE walking on the catwalk when they film Ana BB. It's around 2:39

[WerbowyStegner]

^I actually like Jamie Lee.. I expected her to win..

 

[4gtmenot]

I'm just gonna remember the good old times when...

the show was classy & sexy
the show had good music (by a VARIETY of artists - not all young artists either)
the show didn't look like a mall runway
the models weren't wearing "costumes"
the show wasn't geared towards teenagers
there were women and "teenage" girls in the show
the models didn't do rehearsed 'points' at the crowd & try and 'pump the crowd up' with their hands
the models didn't have a stupid "canoodle" session with the music entertainer
they didn't have dumb contests to have people off the street in the show

 

[Mademoiselle-M]

One question... the fashion show has been, or will be? i'm confused

 

[4gtmenot]

Oh...and another thing, I HATE when they do the stupid slow motion on the girls.

BTW, Mademoiselle-M the show was already on the air last Tuesday, I believe it was, on CBS.

 

[WerbowyStegner]

^has been.. already aired on December first and on youtube

edit: 4gtmenot and me posted at the same time

 

[4gtmenot]

I timed it so we would both post at the same time WerbowyStegner!
