"I remember going nuts over it when it first came out, and now looking back, that show is rife with gross body image — not to mention literally putting models in blackface for a shoot."
"I can recall, at least TWICE, girls finding out someone close to them back home died…and the photoshoot the next day is at a cemetery, or death themed. The one with Kahlen having to play Wrath in a coffin that was lowered into the ground stands out to me. She did great, but did they need to psychologically play with her like that to get the emotion they wanted?
"Also see: Saying you’ve been growing out your hair for 5+ years was a kiss of death in that show. Guaranteed, Tyra would give you a 'Mia Farrow in Rosemary’s Baby' if she heard that you loved your long hair."
"There was always the 'topless' episode where everyone was pressured to be naked, which now just seems exploitative. I also remember instances of male models crossing the line with touching during photoshoots, and Tyra tells the girls that stopping the shoot is wrong, instead you should just flirt back and convince them to stop."
