ANTM-Cycle 6

I’ve been a fan of America’s Next Top Model from Season 1 so I was all ready for a great start to Season 6 this week (despite the fact that I was slightly disappointed in the outcome of last season). But I never expected this much drama on the first episode of the season.
In the first two hours we already have a preacher’s daughter turned cage dancer, an alcoholic and a straight up racist. Does anyone else see anything wrong with this? So, it’s not like the whole scenario of a preacher’s kid rebelling is new. But she’s on national television talking about how she respects what her father does but he has no idea that she was an amateur stripper. (Well honey, I’m sure him and his whole congregation know now.) And anyone with any sense knows that when you get in a competition or work related situation, you do not chug down glass after glass of champagne on the first night.
You know how sometimes people embarrass you even though you don’t know them? Well, unfortunately the crazy girl making racist comments on episode 1 was from the Houston area (Spring to be exact). She said affirmative action is the stupidest thing that she’s ever heard of. And then while in a discussion with one of the other girls who was trying to make a point about being the only black person there when she was working at Abercrombie & Fitch…. She proceeded to say something to the effect of “Why would black people be going into Abercrombie? You wouldn’t see me working at a FUBU store.” Excuse me! Would you wear any of the clothes that any of the other black ANTM contestants have on (or Tyra for that matter)? Then that means that it’s quite possible that y’all have the same tastes and shop at the same types of stores.
