AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL Cycle 16 Premiere Advance Review, Airing 2/23/2011
AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL is back and it’s “time to get real”. Cycle 16 not only welcomes in new contestants but also a new format. You will no longer have to wait through auditions to meet your final 14 because they are presented in the premiere. Tyra opens the show by giving a demo of the typical audition process and puts her acting skills to the test. I am reminded of how much I hate watching auditions. I really enjoyed the new format and being able to dive right in and pick out my favorites. I’ve watched almost every season of the show and I am pretty good at picking out the winners. Yoanna House has been my favorite so far.
