Curse of: America’s Next Top Model

Reality TV vs. Modeling Competition

21 Oct 2025

Description

ANTM was never really about creating top models. It was a reality TV disguised as a modeling competition, and it showed. We break down how photo shoots were designed to create unforgettable moments and reactions on screen and how casting prioritized personalities over potential. We also explore why the winners rarely became working models. From laughable challenges to unusable portfolios, this episode exposes the truth: The show cared more about TV drama than the contestant’s modeling careers.  Looking to place a face to the name and hear bonus content?
