America's next top model

America's Next Top Model (often shortened to Top Model or abbreviated as ANTM) is a reality television show in which a number of women compete for the title of America's Next Top Model and a chance to start their career in the modeling industry.
The show was created and is hosted by television personality, former supermodel and current talk-show host, Tyra Banks, who also serves as the lead judge and executive producer of the show. The first "cycle" premiered in May 2003 and was one of UPN's highest rated shows. The show's seventh cycle was the first of the shows among regular programming on UPN's successor network, The CW, and thus far is the network's highest rated series. The show will continue until at least the 2009-10 season. The opening theme is performed by Tyra Banks and is produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Banks co-produces the show with Ken Mok and Anthony Dominici. For the 2006-2007 television season, ANTM was the #1 show in average viewers on The CW.

I watched the tenth cycle of ANTM recently. I enjoyed this show so much because it is about the dream of every girl. It is not just about beauty, but also about showing yourself confidently, thinking positively and having good and healthy body shapes. Some fashion models are being criticized for being too thin. However, the competitors in this show weren’t always thin, some of them are plus size and they could still have some great performances.
In this season, one of the girls, Heather, has a disease called Asperger. The patients of this disease have difficulty communicate with others, and also, it is hard for them to focus. Heather, in this case, is extremely beautiful and has a unique, mysterious personal attitude which I think is very, very cool. However, because of her disease, she couldn’t get good performance when having a go-see with the fashion designers. Sadly, she got eliminated this week.Nevertheless, without this show, Heather would never have had a chance to show her ability. Disabilities people may be much more talented than we expected as long as we are willing to give them a shot.
