Sunday, March 12, 2006 - 8:57 am That's right, we are getting out own Model show and I can't wait to see it as I love ANTM. It starts on May 31st on CityTV, don't know if it's on any other channels yet. Here's a link to the website, introducing the host and judges.


Canada top model

Here's what the website has to say:

Canada’s Next Top Model - hosted by Actor/Supermodel Tricia
Helfer starting May 31st Citytv
!

After a tremendously successful recruitment process that resulted in over 1,300 applicants, 10 young women have been selected to compete for the title of Canada’s Next Top Model.

Who has what it takes to make it in the high-stress, high-stakes world of modeling? Our finalists will compete under intense pressure to master the skills essential in the world of professional modeling. Each week, one finalist will be eliminated and the last model standing will win the coveted title of Canada’s Next Top Model.

The winner gets a modeling contract with top agency, Sutherland Models. They’ll be featured in an editorial spread in Fashion Magazine. Plus, Canada’s Next Top Model walks away with a $100,000 beauty contract from Procter & Gamble.

Led by Tricia Helfer, the Expert Panel of Judges charged with the task of finding Canada’s Next Top Model will be “FT-FashionTelevision’s” Jeanne Beker, Celebrity Hair and Makeup Stylist Paul Venoit and model/runway coach Stacey McKenzie.

It doesn't seem to be a good breakdown of contestants across Canada. Five of the finalists are from BC, three from Ontario and two from Alberta. I guess nothing happens east of Ontario!

Most of them look like "girl next door" types. I am surprised. We have such a cross-section of all ancestry here in Canada. Many strikingly beautiful women of Asian, East indian, chinese, Japanese as well as the distinctive look of our Aboriginals.

yes, I am surprised by the finalists. Oh well, we shall see what they are like on the first show! I only hope that it isnt a flop LOL

I wonder how many people actually applied? Maybe if it goes well and we have a "cycle 2" there will be more of a cultural representation as people become more familiar and more people apply.

well all we can do is watch the show and maybe send in suggestions by email if it starts getting really lame.

Although some of the tasks are kinda hokey on ANTM they get to stay in a mansion and are carted around like celebrities. I hope CNTM will keep UP the standard.

I also find that once you see the models "move" sometimes it makes a difference. I remember looking at all this season's ANTM's early photos and thinking, "yuck." I'm looking forward to watching.

I understand from next weeks TV guide that Jay Manuel will be involved. This was the first year I actually watched a full seaon of ANTM and I really enjoyed it, lame tasks and all.

well, not that it makes much difference except to Hazel, Jay is actually from Mississauga which is the next city over (but just across the street ) from Toronto. Mind you, with a name like Mississauga, I can see why the press release would say toronto

(PS Hazel is the famous mayor of Mississuaga who has held the post most of her long lifetime!!)

I just finished watching CNTM...

Um, it wasn't bad. The level of production is definitely different from ANTM. If one were to compare the energy level of both shows, ANTM would be 9 and CNTM would be about 5.3, IMO.

I don't know all the models yet but the ones who stood out to me were Ylenia and Brandi.

The bottom two were Sylvie and Natalie. Sylvie had a bad attitude and didn't appear "model-like" in person and Natalie was told that she was too tall for the European market. (She's six feet tall.) Sylvie was sent home.

Maybe I'll watch next week.

Well, ANTM has had what 6 cycles to work the kinks out, so I'll definitely give it a chance. At this point yes Tyra is the better host but she has had more practice. I wasn't too sure how I would like the judging portion as Jeanne Beker has always annoyed me, but it was okay. they certainly seemed to have alot to say. I was surprised they got rid of Sylvie despite the attitude, I thought hers was the best pic. I thought Dawn was a goner.

I agree with Jhonise on her ratings but I'll give it a chance.

PS Jhonise make sure you come on over to CI and play the game again this year!

I found the show pretty interesting but then I'm very interested in photography and posing. Oddly enough I've never watched the American show but I'll probably start watching it.

I admit that I was astonished that they got rid of Sylvie.

Wasn't the scenery on that boat ride to the house beautiful. Made me want to schedule a trip to BC.

Jimmer, this past season of ANTM was the first whole season I have ever watched and I really enjoyed it. (lol not that means you would, but it's worth a look, they were in Thailand for much of the show)

I was trying to figure out where they were. Where in BC? that is so close to the "cottage country" (some cottage!!) and a city??

I am not sure whether I liked it or not - of course my TV was acting up so that may be my problem - I got the blind descriptive service for some reason (apparently they have a man describing the scene for the blind - it seems to be a great service if you are blind or vision impaired. ) I didn't realize it existed and am sure it is wonderful but I am sighted so I found it very disconcerting and I did not have any way to shut it off!

The scenery was out of this world. I thought Sylvie deserved to go. She wasn't going to change. To her it was accept me as I am or don't - I don't care.

They are on Vancouver Island, outside of Victoria.

My thoughts were:

1) I'll definitely keep watching it

2) I still think Vancouver Island/Victoria is a weird place to have this competition, as opposed to Montreal or Toronto or even Vancouver

3) Why were there no girls/women from Quebec? Could it be because of the different game show regulations they have in that province? Is this classified as a game show (I suspect it might be b/c of the "over 18" rule, etc., but I don't know)

4) I swear there are more model-looking girls walking around my neighborhood right now. Any day, any time.

5) The woman who went home totally reminded me of the snowboard chicks I knew in Whistler. She cracked me up. But she deserved to go. I just wanted to brush her hair in panel. LOL

I have more thoughts but must go work now!!! :-)
