Reality TV: Make Me a Supermodel

Make Me a Supermodel

Make Me a Supermodel is a reality television series hosted by former supermodels Tyson Beckford and Niki Taylor on the cable network Bravo. The show, of course, not to be confused with the U.K.’s Make Me a Supermodel, officially premiered on January 10, 2008, prior to the model’s audition which aired on January 2. Each week the following contestants compete against each other in the hopes of becoming the next supermodel, viewers are ask to vote (via text messaging or Internet) for the two models who they think should stay in the competition and be voted out of the bottom 3. The season started with 14 contestants, 3 episodes have aired, the show is now down to 12. One will be sent home on next week’s episode, Thursday.

So far the models have done 3 cumbersome challenges including, posing on a platform; in the cold, in Times Square, hanging in the air whilst getting their pictures taken, and doing a sexy shoot based on chemistry. This was especially a task, as well as a uncompromising position, for four of the models, seeing how they had to do same-sex poses with each other.

Some would refer to Make Me a Supermodel as Top Model meets Project Runway, that’s what I thought really, but it’s not. I really like the show because it’s less “gimmicky,” if you will, and includes men. Anyway if you would like more information on this show check out the related links and watch Make Me a Supermodel Thursday nights on Bravo because there are tons of stuff I left out purposely.

    Here is the official “Can’t Help But Wait” remix featuring Lil’ Wayne, the remix includes all new lyrics as well as production from Wayne. I’m so happy that him and Trey squashed whatever “beef” they had before and stuck to making great music. That is what’s up! As far as the remix, I’m digging it, the production and material are gold.

    New Flavor Flav Promo for “Flavor of Love 3″

    Like it or not, Flavor of Love 3 is coming … and soon. Maybe not next week, or even the week after. But on Monday, February 11th 2008, your living rooms, bedrooms, whatever, will be invaded by the mug of the creature above. Hide the children. Flavor Flav is back! Will I be watching? Hell yeah.  Will I hate myself later for wasting approximately 10 - 12 hours of my life, over the span of the entire season? Probably.

    We took you guys behind the scenes, and now we’re bringing you the finished product. Here’s the video for DJ Felli Fel’s debut single, “Get Buck in Here,” which features Diddy, Akon, Ludacris, and Lil Jon. Jermaine Dupri’s short ass even makes a cameo in the video. All they need is a hook from T-Pain and a verse from Lil’ Wayne, and they’re set! I have a feeling an unnecessary remix will be released pretty soon. Mark my words.

    On a side-note, I wonder what the budget for this video was. $15, some food stamps, and left-over peach cobbler from Christmas? I don’t have a problem with “green screen videos.” But if you’re gonna do it, do it right!

    (UPDATED) OPEN QUESTION: Am I the only one who noticed that DJ Felli Fel kat in “Malibu’s Most Wanted?” You know, the scene with Mike Epps when B-Rad (lol) is free-styling at that club. I just noticed that today (Jan. 26th) when it aired on Comedy Central!
