And I'm like, you're gaslighting all of us because we know you did not.

Like, we know producers stirred the pot.

They created situations.

They picked the girls they wanted to win and gave them more favorable conditions or challenges or whatever, right?

So to use the sort of excuse that like, oh, it was a documentary, it was really a slap in the face.

And Tyra, for me, I think her answer was like, well, production wasn't really my territory.

So I can't really speak to that.

Furthermore, like you pointed out, Tyra comes to the house to sort of have this shamey conversation with Shandi about, quote, cheating.

Where she's like, oh yeah, my man cheated on me once.

Have any of you guys ever cheated?

It's obvious that Tyra's been told by production what happened the night before.

But even now, 2026, Tyra's like...

I don't know what happened.

And that's just like, it's probably the worst excuse you can give.

So the contracts were pretty one-sided and they favored the production company, the producers.

There's some standard stuff you might see in other reality TV contracts, right?

Like the models had to agree that they were not entitled to compensation beyond what they were offered, which was like a per diem.

In some cases, it was like $12 a day.

In some cases, it was like $50 a day.

But you have to remember when they're not shooting a photo shoot on set, the models had to pay for their own food, toiletries, all of that stuff.
