When America's Next Top Model first started, nobody would have guessed that it would eventually become the center piece of an entire network. OK, let me rephrase that. When ANTM first started, nobody would have guessed that it would eventually become the center piece on an entire network that I was not running. I really can't pinpoint the time when Tyra went from ex-Sports Illustrated model with a well endowed forehead to the media darling that she has become now, but for those of us that have been on her bandwagon for a long time, we are glad that the rest of you have decided to come along for the ride.

Something tells me that this season of ANTM is going to be really good. Yes, there are new graphics, a new set for the judging panel, and a lot of new hype for being on a new network, but I just have this feeling we'll be talking about this one for a long time. Then again, I guess we should all meet the potential divas before we get too excited. Thirty three hopefuls came to Los Angeles with a dream to become America's Next Top Model, and by the end of the two hour episode, twenty-two of them would have their hopes under the cruel Vivian Westwood-esque heel of reality modeling. I can't wait!

As we opened the show, Tyra talked about how being a supermodel has been one of the most amazing experiences of her life. She might have also started it out with saying, "Being a supermodel is an amazing experience, especially when you can't act or sing". Oh, I'm just kidding. You know I still love you Tyra. If you watch the WE network, you have probably seen Tyra and Lindsay Lohan star in "Life Size", perhaps my favorite "girl wants to resurrect her mother but accidentally makes a fashion doll come alive" movie of all time. And I am positive that you all have heard Tyra sing, and maybe even have song along with her, because none other than Miss Bankable herself performs the ANTM theme song.

Anyway, Tyra has decided to pass the modeling torch and help introduce fresh and fashionable faces to the industry. She then goes on to describe how so many of the finalists have gone on to great success, which I guess is sort of true. Kim Stolz, everyone's favorite Billy Joe Armstrong doppleganger/lesbian model is hosting a show for mtvU, and Eva "The Diva" Pigford actually models and is featured in the best "Is Wayne Brady going to have to choke a bitch?" movie in years, Crossover. Other than that, it has been mixed results. I think a lot of the girls are working, but we just haven't heard about them. I do know that Michelle, everyone's second-favorite lesbian model/dermatology nightmare, couldn't even make it as a model on Janice Dickinson's third-rate reality show.

What does that mean? I'm not sure, but the ratings never lie, and the ratings say that we love whatever Tyra is doing, so let's see what she gives us. Per usual, we first meet the girls as they are arriving in Los Angeles. Now I may have forgot a lot of what I learned in college, but being America's Next Top Model, I wondered why they filmed all of the girls arriving at the Tom Bradley International Terminal. I know it couldn't be the smell because, well, I don't want to say disparaging things about people getting off their 15-hour flights from Mumbai, but you can take a guess. I know that I have no problem braving the smell, especially when a Virgin or Singapore Airlines flight is de-boarding and the stewardesses come filing out, and maybe they were thinking the girls would be excited to see the stewardesses as well, or at least one stewardess in particular. Yes, we have our firs Ms Jay sighting of the year, and while I would normally take time to make fun of how unattractive she is, I am more inclined to be happy that she isn't wearing anything that shows off her package.
