And yet another season of BNTM

Yes, yes, I know… Every year, after watching the latest season of Britain’s Next Top Model, I always swear to myself that I am not going to watch it ever again. And still, one year on, another season has started and your humble writer is watching it again.

I started watching because they promised so many changes. First of all, Lisa Snowdon is no longer the host and judge. Something that I am very happy about after seeing how biased and subjective she was in the previous seasons. Elle Macpherson is the new host and I think so far she is doing ok. She is far too smiley all the time (in a creepy way), though, and she put me off the other day when contestant Hannah was quitting the show and Elle was soooo okay with it. I believe Tyra Banks would have been well pissed off (you know, the old “there are so many girls out there waiting for an opportunity and you’re throwing yours away”).

All the judges are new too. I am not sad to see Huggy and the other ones go; however, I am not sure I like two of the new ones: Charlie and Grace Woodward. He is too conceited and she looks like she’s got a stick up her arse.
I really like Julien McDonald though. I had already seen him judging on Project Catwalk and I thought he was quite funny, always saying what he thought. Plus I love his Welsh accent

So! Who do I like so far? Let’s see:

Joy
I think Joy is gorgeous and will get far – as long as she keeps her mouth shut. Literally. She’s got dodgy teeth and in the American version of the show, she would be down in the dentist by episode 3.

Charlotte
Charlotte is gorgeous too, and very smiley. She gives me good vibes and I hope she gets far in the competition. I’d like to see more of her, although the judges have already said that “they are not sure” about her…

Harleen
Harleen is the typical Asian beauty. She comes from a Sikh family and this has already brought her a couple of problems. In the latest photoshoot she had to pose wearing underwear alongside a cute half naked male model. She kept bringing “her culture” up. However, if this was going to be such a problem, why did she ever apply for the programme in the first place? Had she never seen the programme before? Come on… all seasons had half naked shoots!

Susan
I believe Susan must be Rebecca Mader’s little sister (Charlotte from Lost), or one of those “separated at birth” things… Still, I like Susan (I think gingers have been doing quite well lately in Next top model, and she could do well too)

Tiffany
Tiffany is cute, no doubt about it. However, if something has to be mentioned about her is her voice. She (or should I say “he”?) has got the most manly voice I’ve ever heard on a teenager – boy or girl-.  I heard that she had been raised in Malta and that English is only her second language. This, however, shouldn’t make you speak like a cave troll.

As in previous seasons, this list of girls that I just posted here will probably do crap and get eliminated quite soon
