At least this show makes a better stab at actual modeling than Tyra's "lookathowawesomeTyrais" spectacle. And there are cute guys. And nakedness. It's cheap and trashy and has no problem with putting these hilariously dumb 20 year olds in swimsuits on the beach in 36 degree weather. How can you possibly judge this show as pretentious? Oh god, yes, Perou is the worst creature that ever graced reality tv, but I don't get the impression that anyone listens to him. He's just there to try and provide catty comments. Fail. They will replace him if there is a 3rd season. My point is basically this. How can you judge a show like this on any merit whatsoever? You watch to see pretty kids do stupid shit for a reality show. And we don't have to have some fake importance shoved down our throat like Tyra's show does. Do they take themselves seriously? Doesn't every industry's denizens? Perou wears sunglasses in the poorly lit studio. Marlon only has one name. Malandrino is... high? Certainly Nicole is. And Tyson is hawt and reallllly bad at fake banter. Help me, I love this show. The fact that they seem to really take themselves seriously is a good HALF of the funny. The other half is listening to kids like Branden talk about how he's gonna get some $10 shoes at Sears to go with his 2000 Hugo Boss Tux.

The whole premise is irredeemable to me. These are not my values. If the competition is now happening to nice people, that's more engaging, but worse . . . Sorry.
