Slog - Comments on The Dumbest Show on Television http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/01/the_dumbest_show_on_television Well, the dumbest show after McLaughlin Group, of course. Has anyone else been suckered into an episode of Bravo's awful, abysmal, really bad, no good Make Me a Supermodel?... Copyright 2008 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 10:08:03 -0800 Sat, 26 Jan 2008 14:36:35 -0800 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.34 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Comment by leek Ummm yeah, I kind-of-accidentally watched last night and damn. Um. That was hot.

Also: I have never heard anyone on America's Next Top Model express themselves with even half the coherence and/or humor of some of those models. So dumbest show? Not likely.

Dumb yes, but come on anyone could name a few dumber ones. I'm not sure it would make the top five dumbest shows. In the top ten, yeh I would go wih that.

I like how it has both men and women, and so far I like some of the contestants. I looove Perry, and a few of the girls are ok.

In my opinion ANTM is just stale and needs to try something new. Tyra is a much better host than Niki Taylor and Tyson Beckford (soooo hot!) are, though.

The models on this show, at least, have a much better chance of doing something more than showing up in an occasional Crunk & Disorderly blurb. I thought these guys/gals were much hotter than the bland mall girls on America's Next Top Model.

Yes, I've been suckered in, at least a little bit. The models seem more high-fashion than ANTM and I like the fact that they include both genders. Only this particular episode was about sexy modeling, unfortunately.

The first picture could be soft-core lesbian porn, and that last one looks like it could be soft-core gay porn.

Tyson Beckford is hilarious- arrogant, kind of mean, awkward, sexy, and charming at once. And my Perry (the top in the gay pic) is the only man on television whose hotness can rival Chris Meloni. He broke his foot and then waxed philosophical: "Sometimes you gotta play hurt." He LICKED Casey's face, commenting later that it was "salty." I love him so.
