Tyra's Tanking

Filed under: TV News > Tyra Banks

Looks like y'all are getting sick of Tyra Banks' schtick!

According to the just-released ratings, the two-hour Top Model premiere was down 11% from the February cycle and a hefty 32% less than the September 2007 series prem.

We're guessing the suits aren't liking these double digit drop offs.

The show totally sucks big balls these days, huh????

How many of their 'models' have gone on to hit it big?

      eeeeeeeeek!
      someone please put her wig back on.



    2. 2

      Top model goes on way too early mountain time. 6 p.m………..I always miss it.



    3. 3

      I am not surprised every show reaches its peak! Look at American Idol, Freinds etc. They all hit a wall soon! At least she has osmething fall back on if ANTM is taken off the air. She was smart enough to diversify into other projects and production, very smart girl!



    4. 4

      NOT A ONE !!! marrying a brady doesn't count ! that show fucking sucks



    5. 5

      i dont like modeling shows…



    6. 6

      I wonder if Zahara Jollie-Pitt will look like this 30 years from now. I'm guessing yes. Kinda cute, but not lovin the five-head.



    7. 7

      I didn't even know it was on! GREAT advertising!



    8. 8

      So is it literally a hot tranny mess this season?



    9. 9

      Tyra just seems so fake and animated



    10. 10

      Isis is HOTT

      i watched the show- it is kind of disgusted me- the girls she choses to partake in this. They are hood rats with no class- no true classic beauty. Until she changes the type of girls she goes after there will never be a model that lasts- no cindy crawford that's for sure.



    12. 12

      i still enjoy her show. watched it last nite. but i really didnt like the whole futuristic crap they were trying to pull off. that was beyond stupid



    13. 13

      wowee, just watched it. What the fuck was all that technological space bollocks at the beginning? Try hard much. I normally love the show, and yes it literally is a hot tranny mess. Way to spice it up Tyra…!



    14. 14

      it's no different then any other season… mindless entertainment that you need every once in awhile… plus the soup will be hilarious this week!



    15. 15

      Tyra Banks is old and ugly!!
      ANTM, while extremely facile (not to mention corny to the max), is admittedly entertaining. At the very least, my friends and I have fun picking out which of the contestants we'd most like to get in the sack. haha



    16. 16

      I CANT STAND THIS MONEY HUNGRY HOE! I HOPE SHE GOES BANKRUPT! N FUCK HER SHOW!



    17. 17

      I HOPE EVERYTHING SHE DOES FAILS. I CAN'T STAND THIS WOMAN ON TV ANYMORE………….



    18. 18

      Re: PINKY69

      LMAO DITO!



    19. 19

      I watched it, sorta! I got bored after 5 mins. It is the same shit over and over and Tyra just pisses me off in general with her ME ME ME bullshit



    20. 20

      I was so sad to miss this last night… haha



    21. 21

      Re: hottie – That's a cute baby!!! Bet you (just like Sammy) had fun making your kid, cuz she's adorable.



    22. 22

      Tyra has officially LOST IT!!! That futuristic theme she was pushing was just plain LAME!!! Not entertaining, not funny, not cool (despite the special effets)… I love the shoots and the drama between the girls can be mildly interesting… but honestly how much more could Tyra love herself??? I'm sure in their 11th cycle they're finding it hard to come up with new ideas, but really? that the best you could do? Alpha Jay and Beta Jay? Tyra-bot? LAAAAAAAAAME!!! What are they smoking? Stop trying to be Oprah Tyra, you're just NOT!



    23. 23

      Well it is Tyra herself that I do not like. She is loud, interuptive if the spotlight is not on her, and really immature. I really think this is what people are tired of.



    24. 24

      Stop Hating on Tyra, To be a supemodel and come up with the concept is a very savvy thing. So what the numbers were not on point…it happens.



    25. 25

      omg, that's IT!!! ANTM has jumped the shark! so sad… I used to love that show!



    26. 26

      Why is this show still on? I don't know anyone who watches it! Also, is it just me or does a new season seem to start right after one ends?! Time to throw in the towel Tyra!



    27. 27

      It's not as if the show ever produces an actual "TOP MODEL"….None of these girls have ever shown up on a significant magazine cover. The only time you see the winners is on the Cover Girl commercials that run during the show's commercial breaks. Top Model? bullshiz



    28. 28

      they really should have advertised it more, i maybe saw 1 commercial for it and that was it! good to know it's on now though, been looking for something to watch since the olympics were over other than Project Runway and Top Design and Moment of Truth!



    29. 29

      i'll still watch it!



    30. 30

      Wooo! Where's her hair????
      She is so self absorbed it's annoying.

    31. 3l$@ says – reply to this


      31

      ugh ive been over her for years now her talk show sucks she is so into herself she will never be like oprah tyra needs to focus on makin her modeling career comeback lose that weight girl!!!



    32. 32

      This show is as fake as the hair on Tyras head!! Just watch, its the transvestites turn to win so no matter how good any of the others might be (or if they dont cry and worship Tyra) they have no chance of winning!

    33. Memi says – reply to this


      33

      I love Tyra! She is not fake. She has a camp for young girls to help them with their self esteem folr christ sakes! I am not saying I like know her personally but ease off sheesh. As far as her ANTM show I love it!!! I hope they wont cancel it.



    34. 34

      ANTM is a superfun show! Don't count on it disappearing anytime soon……It is funny to watch catty girls argue about nothing….and the hair & makeup is always so fun!



    35. 35

      tyra needs to get some girls that look like models
      the tranny is the only one who poses, looks, & acts like a model & he wasnt born a girl :)



    36. 36

      I love ANTM! I DVR'd it, as I'm sure so many others did, so I could watch the fag-hag address the nation!



    37. 37

      yeah tyra is actully not comming off as nice andsweet as before. Didn't one of her past models actully call her out as being fake or soething before? i still watch faithfully beucse i love those fierce pictures. oh and Isis is fierce and hahahahahhaha to the hater that got teh boot last night, thats what you get beotch….she was talking mad shit while people were taking their pics



    38. 38

      I still love Canada's next top model and I like Canadia Idol better than American due to more diversity of music (not all hip hop and r and b). I watched ANTM yesterday and it wasnt bad.



    39. 39

      She has eyes like a dead fish and a smile as phony. All previous seasons the girls were too "tranny" looking. Now a real tranny is on, and not a "tranny" comment from any of the judges. Seriously, the tranny guy is butt ugly, as in, he's definitely no Tula. Look her up. Now she is one hot girl (ex boy)



    40. 40

      i loved the premiere. i think this season is one of the bests already. cycles 9 and 10 sucked mucho ass!!!!



    41. 41

      eva might be the "most popular and most successful" of all the winners



    42. 42

      Eva Marcille has, she's fabulous on Y&R.



    43. 43

      I LOVE the show, and never miss and episode. Who cares if the models go on to do much (you see them now and then in magazines - who watches runway shows anyway?) The show itself is fun to watch.

      If it wasn't for this show, we wouldn't have had Adrienne meet a Brady!



    44. 44

      I am totally sick of ALL reality shows!



    45. 45

      I quit watching. I mean, no "reality" show is a true competition, but at least they could pretend to hide that they have the winner picked out before the show taping begins.



    46. 46

      Re: so_much_joy – I totally agree..the whole thing was lame and the special effects were cheesy at best. I think that the main problem with Top Model is the fact that we all know that the best one never wins. It has been a consistent issue with ANTM, Tyra always chooses the girl that fits her agenda (with a couple of exceptions). Another problem is the judges, i think that Nigel Barker should be retired and replaced with someone with a more objective eye. To top it off, they are always asking the girls for contradictory stuff. They want a girl who is "couture" and not commercial but..HELLOOO, you have to be commercial to be a Cover Girl!!! So they either concentrate on purely high fashion or purely commercial.



    47. 47

      …It's time for "America's Next Top Male Model". "Sometimes" you need to change it up a bit.



    48. 48

      Re: Andy27 – hehehehehe…..



    49. 49

      Re: Tinalouise – Transexual is not the same as transvestite.
      Transvestite: a person and especially a male who adopts the dress and often the behavior typical of the opposite sex especially for purposes of emotional or sexual gratification

      Transsexual: a person who strongly identifies with the opposite sex and may seek to live as a member of this sex especially by undergoing surgery and hormone therapy to obtain the necessary physical appearance (as by changing the external sex organs)

      Drag Queen: a male homosexual who dresses as a woman especially for comic or theatrical effect

      Learn the differences…then speak



    50. 50

      Re: Andy27

      Zahara is SOOO fierce….she always looks like she's about ready to cut a bitch….



    51. 51

      Adrianne Curry is my favorite "top model" :) You should read her blog sometime, she's got some good shit to say!

      As far as Tyra goes, meh, I couldn't care less about her. She comes off as super phony in everything she does.



    52. 52

      Isis 4ever



    53. 53

      Dude did you see the premiere??? It was so low budget I only watched an our before turning it off!! The whole spaced out garbage was not even cute! and some of this years model wanna-bes are pretty quirky….i dunno just sayin!



    54. 54

      oh and btw I think Tyra is gorgeous with or without a wig and make-up! so there haters!!



    55. 55

      But Tyra, why aren't you "smiling with your eyes"?



    56. 56

      You know, I was watching Oprah the other day and I started thinking that who will replace her. My first thought was Tyra but then I reconsider, Tyra doesn't talk about books, Tyra has the guests that are borderline the same as Jerry Springer. So sad to realize, but when Oprah is gone, so will be any redeeming value on mainstream tv networks.



    57. 57

      I LOVE ANTM no matter what! I love choosing who I like best. This season I love the personalities of Marjorie and Sheena. They are complete opposites but they're both sweet and caring. Mckey is the one who looks most like a supermodel. She'll work no matter what - esp if she learns how to pose. Brittany is uber exotic. Elina is scary but intriguing. Isis was the best last night in my opinion and she has to take so much crap. More power to her! Most boring: Clark. Why must girls like this exist? The world would be so much nicer without them. Who all do you like who are watching????



    58. 58

      Re: CottonMouth – How about quit being such a damn bitch!! You must be one if you know so much about it you asswipe



    59. 59

      That's how it works on tv… you get a show run it for 10 years top and then quit and try to rebuilt a career… She is great but i guess she overexposed herself way too much, she really needs to give something different and fierce, she is stuck in the same old formula and so far none of the girls had a big break or showed why they where chosen the ANTM. Anyways, before you posted this… did you care enough to watch the show and judge it for real and not just repeting what everyone's saying??? That's being a journalist Piggy… do some research and write comments and opinions about it…



    60. 60

      mAN! that shit was WAK! sooo fuckin cheazzzzy!



    61. 61

      The Tyra drinking game:
      One drink whenever she plugs her talk show on ANTM.
      One drink whenever she plugs ANTM on her talk show.
      One drink whenever they show a model-y picture of Tyra.
      Two drinks whenever she says, "when I was a model…"

      Normally in drinking games there are more, but you'd probably be wasted pretty quick with just these, so why bother?



    62. 62

      she needs to stop doing so damn many top models. geez, take a break in between, it kind of loses its authenticity when you find a "top model" 3 times a year.



    63. 63

      Oh Plezzz You know the ratings are down becuz of the Tranny.



    64. 64

      Re: CottonMouth – Ish who asked for a lesson on trannys! Oh Plezzz!



    65. 65

      Re: Andy27 – She still looks better than You!



    66. 66

      I havent watched it for the past 3 cycles…its a lost cause. Do any of these girls actually go on to be "top" models maybe they do catwalks and small ads but no major endorsements besides being a "covergirl" for like 3 months after they win. Oh and they are also on the cover of a mag, i dunno which one playboy?? BTW on tyras pic up there…..wtf weres he weave!! she never leaves home w/o it!!



    67. 67

      Last nights premiere was so predictable. Ya knew the tranny was gonna make the cut and ya knew the bitch named Clark was also gonna make it. It's all for tv, no matter how much they try to say it's about making a top model. And the "special effects" were ridiculous….when they'd go to show a picture and she'd push a button and that sound would be made, so cheesy!!



    68. 68

      Modeling is a dead industry since celebrities are the only ones bracing the covers of magazines, and most clothing lines and beauty products are endorsed by celebs. What's left for the model to do except appear on Project Runway and ANTM?



    69. 69

      good, i am bored of tyra and the models never actually become 'top' models.



    70. 70

      Re: MagsCo
      I'm not in the mood to pass out. LOL!



    71. 71

      Im holding out for her to go schiz like she did on that girl in whatever cycle it was, YOU DONT KNOW WHERE I BEEN" Bint. Shes savvy yeah but now shes become a charicature of herself…sad really!



    72. 72

      Okay, the Tranny has NOTHING to do with the quality of the show. It's 2008, evolve.



    73. 73

      I used to love Next Top Model but ever since the "Tyra Cam" I lost interest — she's much more focused on her talk show these days and that space theme last night with Mr. Jay and Jay Alexander sporting stringy bleach blond hair didn't help. Myrtle Beach, SC where that one girl is from is trying to draw gay visitors — I don't think her saying they will get shot is going to help.



    74. 74

      The show has been around for soo long…
      Also, the Tranny in the show.. kinka weird..dun chu think??
      and the chicks arent even that pretty …except for like 3



    75. 75

      Re: Tinalouise – I'm just educating you, ignorant whore



    76. 76

      Re: PLEZZZ – Well if you're happy being an ignorant fatass WHORE



    77. 77

      it was on???? when lol



    78. 78

      Re: Clays_Anatomy – I totally agree



    79. 79

      I saw the new episode last night and it was highsterical!! It was as if they were trying to be as lame as posible!!



    80. 80

      Ew. She looks nasty.

      ….Yeah, the new season of Top Model was cool. There were some girls I really liked. But there were these two bitches that I fucking hated. Luckily, they both went home. And I laughed at them. (xD)

      And that pathetic future with the gay-ass special effects was ridiculous. Seriously.

      My favorite girls are Isis, Marjorie, McKey, and Elina. Sheena's pretty cool too, but she acts all ghetto and whatnot, and it's obvious she wasn't born in any hood.



    81. 81

      I watched it!! and i LOVE LOVE LOVE ms. Tyra banks

    82. Nazri says – reply to this


      82

      Wait a second…Since this site is a huge fan of obama then why not tyra bank? she is african american after-all.



    83. 83

      Re: Whitest Rose – I am SOOOOO totally with you!!!! Those are the best girls, except for Marjorie, she gets on my nerves. I like Sheena too, a b it ghetto (Kimora) but she is fabulous. I'm afraid none of these girls will win though, that's the way it usually happens, the best, prettiest girl never wins!



    84. 84

      I enjoy the show! And to be honest, it takes more than just winning a reality show to become a "top" model. How many of the winners of American Idol have actually made it big? Maybe one? Two. The reason why we don't see them making it big is because everyday people don't go to fashion shows, purchase modeling magazines. I believe Jaslene actually has a contract with a clothing company. Adrianne also had a spread in Playboy, and okay there are times that she annoys me, but she still manages to get on tv. People know her name.

      Who wants to be Oprah anyway? I'm sure she's just as self absorbed as most celebrities.



    85. 85

      show is as shiteous (or probably even more shiteous) as living lohan, i don't know 1 person who likes the show, it sucks



    86. 86

      The show's repetitive formula got so predictable and boring
      about, oh, 5 cycles ago?



    87. 87

      I used to like watching this show. It was exciting and different each time.

      Now she has he/she's on there, plus none of these winners go anywhere.

      Why the hell should I waste my time watching this because of all the above….



    88. 88

      I love tyra, and I love ANTM
      but
      what happened in this photo?
      she looks awful!!



    89. 89

      OMG that futuristic theme they were sporting was so fucking annoying that it made me feel a lil bit uncomfortable watching it.. Isis was hot tho.



    90. 90

      I love ANTM!!! Let's not be sooo negative!!!



    91. 91

      the season premiere sucked ass. they were trying to be futuristic and it looked so stupid. the girls this season are so boring. and i barely see any of the top models ANYWHERE. all i see are the losers who didnt make in all the adds..looks like they're the top modles, not the ones who actually win the show…



    92. 92

      The only person making it big, is Tyra! The people who have "won" ATM, have gone on to do nothing. They would have done better sleeping their way to the top. Plus many of girls have the look and talent of a nat.

    93. tetzy says – reply to this


      93

      It's tyra that's the problem - I can't imagine a less likable person.



    94. 94

      That series premiere was awful. did you see Tyra and the Jay's in the whole futuristic thing? Ridiculously bad! Really, she needs to stopped!



    95. 95

      hehe after whitney winning what do u expect… lol



    96. 96

      i used to actually like the show..despite tyra but watched the first 5minutes of this season and realised i couldn't go on…



    97. 97

      i hate her. she suucks.



    98. 98

      Not a one of those bitches hit the big time..my favorite was eva pigford( now marcille) Shes about the only one Ive seendoing stuff here and there..the rest? Who tthe fuck knows!!!!!!!!!!!



    99. 99

      Mrs Knight? the ONLY success, well, famous model to come from ANTM
