Starts March 4th on Bravo. New female model host with Tyson, Nicole Trunfio. Just going by pics I don't see a promising female but for the men Shawn and Jonathan have the look. Here's the site: link

Aw, I'll miss Nikki Taylor. I really liked her on the last season.

Why isn't Nikki Taylor returning?

I just googled a bit and found a few articles. Here is one that speaks the most, so far: According to my fellow Spekked blogger, Julie, there’s good news and bad news for fans of Niki Taylor, co-host of last season’s Bravo hit Make Me a Supermodel. The good news is that she’s expecting a new baby and plans to stay home to care for it and be with her family more. The bad news for her fans is that she won’t be returning to the second season of the show. Her co-host for the first season, hottie Tyson Beckford will be back, so at least we have that to look forward to. Here’s some of what Niki had to say about her departure from th show: “There is a second season but I’m not doing it. I’m not in it. I live in Nashville and I was on a plane two times a week and I’m pregnant now. It was a lot of flying for me,” she said. That’s not the only reason she chose to step down from the show. “They decided to take the show in a more… not risque… but.. just a little more.. I’m just not good at telling people how to look or act or be,” she said. “It was a great season. I don’t know how the second season will be but I’ll definitely watch it. Tyson’s still on it.” I’m thrilled for Niki on her great news! And I’ll let you know as soon as I find out about her replacement on the show. http://www.realityexploits.com/2008/12/28/niki-taylor-not-returning-to-make-me-a-supermodel/

I loved the show, but I really don't think it needs to be more risque or whatever than it already was. I watched the show because I thought it was done well. If I want a tacky mess, I'll go watch Tyra.

The whole reason why I liked the first season was precisely because it was NOT "more" anything!!!

That's hiliarious, Costa! Skim the posts, agree to one and then realize it's your own! LOL I've probably done that, too. I am sort of looking forward to this tonight. I hope it's not too different from last season. I read in TV Guide that we will no longer get to vote. There will be judges who do the voting.

Not overly thrilled with the changes in format, so far. I've seen the British version that this is based on, and it seems to have adopted the same format here. Perou, one of the judges, was even a judge for the British version.

Same here, LT. I do like Sandal-whatever. The guy who is a classically trained ballet dancer. I like him and I bet he goes far.

I'm not sure I like that they took voting away from us, but it kinda makes sense... WE are not gonna make 'em supermodels, right? I also like that there is both a male and female mentor. That said, there are quite a few that I just don't see becoming a supermodel in only 12 weeks. We'll see!

These model competitions should all (Tyra, are you listening?) have a mini-bootcamp. Let the contestants spend a week or two, learning things like walking the runway, learning how to pose, etc...before the first competition and elimination.

I will miss the voting, but I agreed completely with the elimination last night. That guy Ken didn't seem all that thrilled to be criticized about his body. He said he didn't know if it was worth it or not. I don't know if it was the way he held his mouth or something about his chin, but I did not think he was very good-looking.

Wow, reading this just proved I CRS!! I don't remember the voting factor last year! I only saw part of the first episode and caught a rerun of this week's episode. They really seem to be pushing it with that painting the body photo shoot. I thought they let the wrong guy go, but as far as the long term goes, I don't think either would have made it anyway. I like the girl who won last week. She really has a fresh-faced look about her. I was really worried when they brought in Tabitha that she'd really make them look worse. I guess I just don't have the "fashion eye" since I don't always think people look better in their make-overs.

I agree Watching, about Tabitha and the makeovers. I thought CJ just looked so different. I don't think she looked bad, I just didn't get what the need was for the extreme change. Maybe they were trying to make a point that if you model, you better accept lots of changes at any given time. I kind of liked the candy photo shoot.

Heck, you do ask the hard questions. I don't know the names but the guy that went home was the blonde dude that sorta looked like a girl ... he was bragging on being androgynous or something like that. I really couldn't tell you who won, sorry, I don't know them that well yet. I do know that it's a good looking dark haired guy ... that didn't help much did it? Sorry.

Branden won the catwalk. Jordan won the photo shoot. Here's a photo of Branden:
Chris was sent home. He's the androgynous guy.
