Show like America’s Next Top Model? So Banks says she made this show to counter stereotypes about beauty huh? Why don’t she just tell the truth & admit she made the show b/c she knew enough people would be foolish enough to believe in this fake farce?
Chaos erupts in crowd at NYC ‘Top Model’ auditions
NEW YORK – Three people were arrested and six others hurt after bedlam broke out while they waited to audition for "America’s Next Top Model," police said.
Police didn’t know what prompted the chaos involving hundreds of people Saturday outside the Park Central New York hotel in Manhattan. The panic left the street outside the hotel littered with shoes and clothing, according to news reports.
"It was pretty scary," Jessica Paravati told WNYW-TV. She said she was caught up in a stampede after waiting on line overnight, hoping for a shot at stardom on the reality show.
Two women and a man were arrested on disorderly conduct charges, police said. Authorities also shut down the audition, saying it wasn’t properly organized.
Four injured people declined treatment, while two others were taken to a hospital, the fire department said. Their conditions weren’t immediately available.
The hotel’s phone rang unanswered. Representatives for The CW Network, which airs the show, released a statement saying it was working with authorities investigating the incident.
The model competition is hosted by supermodel Tyra Banks, who also serves as its executive producer. The current season began March 4.
Her agent and publicist didn’t immediately return telephone calls.
Banks has said she created the show to counter stereotypes about beauty, and Saturday’s auditions were open only to women no taller than 5-foot-7, which is shorter than the industry’s conventions.
Tryouts also were being held this month around the country, including in Dallas, Chicago and Los Angeles.
At least one would-be contestant in the New York throng said the tumult wouldn’t stop her from trying again.
"This is my dream, so I’m not going to give up," Gifty Asika told WNBC-TV.(Did someone let her know that the show is fake & scripted? Does she really think this stuff is real? LOL!)
Easy! People tend to use their physical beauty to get all competitious for their 15-minute fame and boost their ego.
What is even more fake and sad is that in order to be a model, they got to feel you got physical looks to perfection, and well, I would not have a chance, and my 5’3" height has not much to do with it! I can be taller, and though I’m 60 pounds over, I would not even get looked at for a split second to be a plus-size model ( however, I don’t have to wear plus size clothing, fortunately). But then, I got better things to do than anything that requires shallowness. Life is too short for that!

The lure of money and fame is more than some people can resist.
One might also wonder why anyone watches shows like this.
Oh yeah, now I remember…they’re just about the only thing the networks put on these days.

I suppose they believe they may have an opportunity to get on the fast track to wealth and fame by winning one of these reality show competitions. I guess that after reading the article you posted that people are are desperate to get that chance. If we were to really think about it look look at a lot of situations where large crowds gather and there is a chance for the mob mentality to break out. I think most people realize that the supposed reality is scripted and edited for view ratings and interest.However I think that the people know the show may be fake they just want the chance for fame, viewers just want entertainment.Take care.

LOL, "So Banks says she made this show to counter stereotypes about beauty huh?"
I can’t stop laughing 5’7" or shorter this time..does this mean I have a chance? So…let’s see Tyra, have partially dressed women have their photo taken and tell us it’s not a show that stereotypes women. Say it like it is.
Though I can’t figure out for the life of me what this brawl could be about.
"I’m prettier than you!’ "How dare you! Prepare for battle!"

Yeah, they probably know it’s scripted. Becoming a model isn’t their dream, it’s getting on TV, becoming ‘famous’, and making money.

It seems odd that Tyra Banks would be involved in that sort of thing, that doesn’t seem like very good publicity for her. Have a good day.

These may or may not be analogous, and I have considered alternative citizenship, but I also had off switches on most everything in my life, or certainly not having to use the on switches, I retain my right to free will.
