Top Model' Achieves Maturity

A chemist, a house painter and a handful of students will all be vying for the title of "America's Next Top Model" next month.

UPN on Wednesday (Feb. 15) unveiled the identities of the 13 women competing for the title in the show's sixth edition -- and "women" is the operative word, as the cast is collectively a little older than in past cycles.

Only two of the 13 finalists -- Kari, a student from South Dakota, and Leslie, a student from Arizona -- are still in their teens (both are 18). Everyone else is at least 20; the oldest contestant, Philadelphia restaurant hostess Jade, is 26.

"Top Model" will begin season six with a two-hour premiere at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday, March 8. As usual, the contestants will be put through a series of challenges and photo shoots to determine who wins the top prize of a management contract with Ford Models, an Elle magazine fashion spread and a Cover Girl modeling contract.

Nigel Barker, Twiggy and J. Alexander will return to join host/executive producer Tyra Banks as judges.

Here's a rundown of the finalists:

Name: Brooke
Occupation: Student
Age: 22
Hometown: Corpus Christi, Texas

Occupation: Babysitter
Age: 20
Hometown: Little Rock, Ark.

Tonight's the night! I'm home sick so I can watch it but I will be switching back and forth between ANTM and AI.

I watched tonight. We get an east coast UPN station, so I watched it at 5. Interesting.

Don't usually watch this, but caught the last 10 minutes or so (bald women tonight). Can I just say -- the food budget for this show must be non-existent!!! LOL Don't think I'll be watching again, but just wondered what other people enjoy about this show.

I switched back and forth between AI and ANTM also. I must admit it is one of my guilty pleasures. It appears there is going to be a lot of drama this season, but what else is new!

Personally, I like to watch it because of the interesting photo shoots and how their look changes week to week.

Jade seems like a handful, doesn't she? I'm definitely looking forward to the makeover show!

I watched a bit during AI commercials and then the final hour. Pretty good show. Jade is on a rant next week isnt she? I loved how Nigel (man he is sexy) totally put her in her place at panel.

Nnenna is stunning, she's my early pick for the winner.

Actually the models on this show weigh more than most models do - shocker, isn't it. This is what Tyra says:

Banks also realizes her ability to help shift the public's view of what is "model beauty."

"No matter how successful you are -- one of the Top 10 models in the world or a new model -- you're constantly being told you're not good enough or you're not right for this job," Banks says. "You are constantly hearing 'no.' For some girls it really is hard and I think that is where a lot of eating disorders come about because they're like, 'I'm too heavy, and even though I'm only 120, maybe I need to be 110.'

"With Top Model, my girls are 10 to 15 pounds heavier than the average model," she says. "If you see them on TV you'd say, 'Gosh, she's so skinny,' but if you compare them to the top five girls working now she'd be considered voluptuous or thicker. And though I don't have the power to change the industry and make everyone a size 12, the power that I do have is to stretch those boundaries just a little bit."

Wow, Jan -- thanks for the info, and wow - how sad. If that is considered "extra" weight for models, it's no wonder my HS girls have such self-esteem issues based on their weight and looks.

I did enjoy seeing the pictures at the end (that was the 10 minutes I caught) -- maybe I'll just have to watch the final few minutes each week. :-)

I guess they decided no "full-figured" girl this time around. Just as well, since they always eliminate her. This crowd, so far appears to be more intelligent compared to previous season. I remember when a lot of them could not even read easy words or pronounce the designer names. Aren't these girls a little older too? I bet they did that so there would be more drinking drama. I think Jade has beautiful bone structure and is interestingly exotic but she looks old compared to the others.

I love this show. It never fails to make me laugh.

I thought it was so funny when Tyra said, a few times, that America wouldn't "understand" Brooke's face. There's something so deliciously absured about that. What's there to understand? She's not the face transplant lady from France for pete's sake.

I have a feeling Furonda is gonna be annoying, but her phone sex characters were hilarious.

I finally watched my tape of the show today... to answer Pamy's question... Wendy (the girl from New Orleans) says she doesn't know where her dad is (I don't recall hearing anything about her mom)... Also, I'm glad they didn't keep Dani (the uber-Republican) around... I was afraid they'd put her in the house solely because of the drama she'd create...

All in all, a good start to the season... My early picks are Nnenna and Sara...

As always, just my

I sat thru that first two hour show puzzled. Why does Danielle look familiar? Was she on another show on tv?

It struck me later. Danielle is the spitting image of a THIN Toccara.

I am looking for a pic of the same angle for comparison. Check out the pic at the top of this thread. Same highcheek bones etc.

**************

Personally, I think Jade wont last long. She seems to have a very stiff face which shows one expression. I look forward to competitions.

I think Kari is a dead ringer for Denise Richards. Would'nt Charlie sheen go wild ?

Kathy's little hillbilly thing was really put on, she does not live a a backward rual area. That irked me being from the same area.

Don't remember who, maybe the Furonna, where Jay said she looked like a praying mantis and they put up the side by side. And she did !

I am surprised they did'nt keep Dani on just for the fireworks she could have caused. Then again I think the others may have killed her, A little descrection. But agreed her looks weren't special

I thought the crier (farm girl from Ohio) was beautiful and looked like a model

The make over shows are my favoite. Oh who will cry ????

I do not like that color in Jade's hair. It's too stark, too I don't know but it needs to be warmed up.

I liked all the makeovers but Kari's. She did look way to Barbie cloth modeling in Walmarts add. Maybe if she pulle it back in the judging section it will make her look more edgy. I actually like Jades cut much more than the afro on her. Just because she cannot change the expression on her face don't blame it on the cut.

I don't think it really matters to much what your haircut is. If the want it different for a shoot they just change it. Last year they made everyone even look a different race once.

Attitudes are a downfall on this show. The comment for Jade to leave it at the door was right on. Who exactly is she talking about not getting alone with. She brings it all on herself. It seems like the others would rather leave her alone but when she starts talking she is so superior and the laugh she gets upset.

I have agreed with the winner of both challenges so far. And for her to take two who didn't get along so they could get to know each other more was a sweet idea. I don't think it worked though.
