Hers is called “America’s Next Top Model”, a consistent ratings winner. His? A bit of a newcomer on the block with a commanding title “Make Me a Supermodel”, airing on Bravo. But supermodel Tyson Beckford doesn’t see any competition in Tyra Banks’s “America’s Next Top Model” or its originator.
- ”Tyra? Are you joking? I’m the only male supermodel there is, the only one who can make a supermodel. Do you think Tyra can just call up Naomi Campbell and ask her to teach these kids how to walk the runway? Please! You know Tyra and Naomi aren’t cool like that right? And we’re in New York, Tyra’s in L.A. Nothing’s going on in L.A. [My models] will go on go-sees, be doing what it takes where the action is, in New York. Please!”
- About the Niki Taylor casting, Mr. Supermodel had this to say:
- ”I wouldn’t work with a TV person. I needed another supermodel [as his co-host] and I had to be in charge of my wardrobe — I’ve got to look like people expect me to look. I’m the only male supermodel out there — not everyone knows Marcus Schenkenberg.”
Schenken who? Don’t know him either Ty. And about whether ANTM will be outdone by MMASM remains to be seen. The ratings will bring on the verdict.
