I just had a mini-marathon of America's Next Top Model, cycle 1 (really season 1). I knew Adrienne won, I'd watched the Surreal Life and paid enough attention to reality tv to know that. I really enjoyed watching knowing what would happen at the end. You get to really take a close look at what it took for her to win. I have always wished I could do the same for American Idol. If I knew at the beginning of season 2 that Clay would go so far, I'd have paid more attention, taken it to a level higher than pure entertainment. I find the personal strength and business like way of looking at the situations reality stars are in and using them to their advantage to be fascinating.
If I was to ever try out for reality tv, it would probably be Big Brother. None of the challenges are particularly scary or stressful or super hard endurance tests, and besides that you just hang out and make friends and strategize. I would definitely freak out over all the pettiness and totally stress if there was someone who really didn't like me. Living with someone you can't get along with is one of the worst things I could go through, I wouldn't be able to think or function or sleep at all. The producers would probably love me however, I can be really honest, I'm blunt, I have tons of emotions that vary all the time, and I forget what I was thinking the week before and therefore totally contradict myself all the time. It's all great tv. Maybe I will try out next year, as long as I'm not pregnant, nursing, etc.

Back to ANTM, I was really surprised how much work it really is to be a model. I already knew things like they'd be modeling swimsuits in the winter, they'd have to learn how to walk correctly, etc. But all the facial expressions and movement, it's like acting. I couldn't make my face sexy one minute, sultry the next, afraid right after that, over and over. I think all those faces are probably pretty similar for me, I have no control over what I express in my face. The people hiring models really pay close attention to how you look in your pictures, really scrutinize everything you do. Why is your leg where it is? Why are you hooking your fingers into your bathing suit? And then to have anyone actually critique my looks would be the killer. I don't want to hear how people complaining about things that I couldn't control. You are stuck with the body you were born with, and only some women can be models. But out of those women, to be freaking out so much over silly little things is just so over the top to me. I'm glad Adrianne won, she was good and trying really hard to win, and I appreciated that she had a troubled past and truly knew what she wanted.
