I've caught a few of them. That Becky woman is hilarious! I loved it when she went out and got drunk w/ her friend at the office and the next morning her friend fell asleep at her desk. I read an article about the show, and even though they followed them around for a long time, there aren't that many episodes, which is a shame.

I like Becky too, she is so rough. When she describes these models who think they are perfect. The chin one, lol.

Becky is cracking me up. I dont understand how Pink hasn't fired her yet. She is unbelievable, acting outraged because her boss complains because she is an hour late for a meeting because she was too hung over to get out of bed.

Dang! I forgot it was on. Hopefully, I will catch a repeat. I loved it when Pink, in the episode before, called her "Miss Doom and Gloom" and her sidekick Lola.

Well Grooch Pink was assigned the task of going down south to scout for models, he was told to take Becky and Lola with him. He was also told that it was his responsibility to keep the two of them in line and control them. rofl. P.S. they were boozing every night. watch it if you can. It is on itunes if you dont get it. If people are interested they can download the first show for free on itunes as well.

I'd fire Becky in less than a heartbeat. She is diddly darn lucky I aint Pink! I'd also fire the NY manager, he seems quite clueless. Does it seem to anyone else that this show has even more commercials than most?

I can't see her not being fired after the owners watch this show. Unless she does some major attitude adjustment or quits drinking. lol! Don't get me wrong, I love her. Pink will probably be the one fired though and she gets his job.

I like Becky, finally got around to watching last weeks show. I thought Carlos was a jerk the way he stabbed her in the back. He fell asleep in the hotel room, in the middle of the day, when they were supposed to be on a job and he gets pissed off that Becky and Lola spoke to the model without him, even though he was shutting her out every step of the way. What kills me is that they are all working at each other behind their backs. Pink wont be honest with Becky and just slammes her every opportunity he can, yet they always pick Becky to go on the scouting trips, intervene when there is a model emergency and I think they do this because they know she is the best agent. She may be a pain in the neck but that is because she knows talent, she doesnt pull her punches and doesnt baby the models. you gain weight you dont get jobs, you are 5'6 you dont have a chance. They were all working against Becky this week and it was her model, she was the agent. What does Lola do? all she does is go on these trips and booze it up.

Becky & Lola remind me of Edwina and Patsy from "Absolutely Fabulous". Pinky must be Saffron. I loved that show.

I know, Mocha, but Pink does seem to be the "long suffering" one out of all the the characters on the show. Plus, Pink (like Saffron) is always "babysitting" them. lol!

They only have 10 episodes. "The half-hour ten episode series will also examine the business of operating one of the world's largest and most successful modeling agencies. Wilhelmina is presently at a crossroads as they look to expand outside the world of simply representing models. There is great discourse within the famed walls as the men's division continually reaps the rewards of its premiere status and the editorial women's board struggles to reach the same level. "

That is too bad Grooch, it is one of the better reality shows that I have ever seen. It is a fascinating glimpse at how an agency such as wilhemena operates and the characters in the NY office are great. The restaurant that Becky was in one night with lola is a place I used to go into two or three times a week when I worked down in Chelsea.

It's on right now! I missed the 1st 5 minutes, but it looks like Pink is trying to get Becky fired. Office politics at it's best (or worse). I still think she will end up w/ Pink's job by the end of the season. (Maris, I just saw your last post right now. I will have to respond later. Not enough time between commercials and the other shows I'm flipping through.)

I finally watched the episode. Becky was not fired but she had a big blow up with Pink and the last scene is her walking out of the office in tears and cursing. Basically what happened is that the womens division was all gung ho on this brazillian model they found, she was 15 but Becky didnt think she was that great and it turns out that she had 38" hips (EGADS!!!)and huge thighs (looked thin to me) so Becky was going on about how much work it was going to be to get her weight down and that she may not do it. She thought that the girl would be too much work. So Pink was furious and the others in the office thought Becky was too negative. Sean made the decision that the agents in the mens boards would take over this new model because Pinks ladies board was not supportive enough of the model and Sean wanted her sent on calls ASAP, which of course Pink got furious about. He came back and told everyone the mens board was taking over the Brazillian model. Then Becky started saying are you saying this is my fault, I liked the girl, I was telling people about her but her thighs are huge and she has huge hips, she wont get any jobs. She isnt superstar material now so Pink started yelling at her and told her if she didnt like it get out, he started screaming that and she picked up her coat. oh the best was the idea Sean had for a promo book. Wilhemina wanted to do a promotional book to put in magazines, they were picking their top 25 male models to put in this promo book and they were also going t0o approach designers regarding this promo book. But Sean's idea was that the models and everyone has to contribute to the cost of creating this promo book and they told the top male models that they would have to pay to be in the book, it was pretty funny. As always, it was another great episode. Now the previews of next week show Sean speaking with Becky.

Thank Maris. Although it seems that this channel has nothing but rerun/repeat episodes of shows, I have yet to see this one. Wasn't it the end of the series/season?

Thanks, Maris! I was looking for it, but couldn't find it last night. I thought last night was the final episode. Glad to hear it's on for at least one more week.

If you go to the website there are a total of ten episodes and the website also lists when the show is replaying. I think there are three more episodes left. The episode is replaying on Friday at 2:30 ET. link

When the heck is this on anymore? VH1 drives me crazy, can't stand most of the shows. Hadn't watched it in years until unemployed and landed on an ANTM marathon. Got hooked on ANTM. Caught a couple Agency episodes and curious how it was playing out, but never seem to find it on. Our apartment complex has the weirdest cable/dish, 44 channels, no guide, no nothing and of course most of the channels we would like aren't offered.
