I was curious, so weighed in. The show is thoroughly unpleasant; full of bullies, narcissists, mean girls and manipulators. They may be pretty on the outside, but their egos and personalities are ugly.
Cindy Bishop, the supermodel hosting the show, and who I've never heard of, is like the evil witch-queen leading the young women down a dark path into the bowels of greed. The fact that this show has become popular demonstrates another sample of how badly society has slipped. I only watched season 6, and of them all, TJ was the meanness, nastiest egoist, because she was snide behind everyone's back. Not a nice person at all.
It's like watching the apocalypse where the evil, maniacal queen tosses young girls into the pit and watch them fight to the death. They were encouraged to be abusive. You might laugh, but when you stop to consider what this show is role modelling, you just might "get it".
Yu Tsai, the photography is in this season and what he pulled with the girls was stomach churning. He would greet the models with "models, models, models" and they (like trained drones) would sing out in their little girl voices "Yu Tsai, Yu Tsai, Yu Tsai" and he would beam happily, soaking in the contrived adoration. Just made me feel ill. So hypocritical of the show to say they want to empower women and yet allow that to happen in each show.
I actually feel embarrassed for these girls, that they have sunk to these new levels. Girls, go for a good education, do something worthy in life.
