Cheers: A Niki Taylor-made Supermodel

Niki Taylor by Ian White/Bravo

Cheers to Make Me a Supermodel for picking Niki Taylor as one of its cohosts. On Bravo's promising new reality show, the cover girl comes across as more genuine than America's Next Top Model's Tyra Banks and warmer than Project Runway's Heidi Klum. That isn't tough, but Taylor's hard not to like — and still easy on the eyes. (Her cohort Tyson Beckford ain't bad, either.)

I agree completely, especially with the part about Tyra........uggh...the epitome of fake. I still like Heidi, and her role on Runway isn't mentor- it's more like hostess- so I can forgive her lack of warmth. I like this show, plus I LOVE looking at Tyson......

Yeah, anyone is an improvement over Tyra, LOL. The new girls for Cycle 10 have just been revealed and there are at least two possibly three who Tyra will try to reduce to tears just for the heck of it.

Niki Taylor may get a "cheer" but the show itself gets one huge JEER. It is so sleazy that I honestly feel like I must shower after I watch it. I really thought that a show with both Niki Taylor and Tyson Beckford would have at least a little class. But, it is not so. I really am surprised that either are associated with it.

Yet another show to boost bulimia

I'm actually surprised that this show hasn't gotten more negative media attention. Niki Taylor is fine and good, but OMG. They're so mean to that Katie girl about her boobs! Where I come from having boobs is a good things. Now young girls all over America will be starving themselves to be a supermodel. Bravo, Bravo!

Anything is better without Tyrant running the show so thank goodness for that and at least this show doesn't preach against eating disorders one minute but promotes them the next. Or pay lip service to 'plus-sized' girls then never,ever backs it up.
