Whether or not we can make you a supermodel is now in the hands of America

Niki Taylor and Tyson Beckford host a show that I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I'm watching: Make Me a Supermodel. In it, pretty boys and girls compete to become a "supermodel" through many challenges that are less interesting than the ones on America's Next Top Model. Then, the judges put three of the week's worst performers up for a vote and "America" madly sends text messages or calls in to vote for their favorite contestant.

It's no shocker that all the girls are being voted off. Who else but ladies and gays is watching this show? And I do wonder how many people actually vote. That is, besides the contestants' families and friends.

In any case, the show remains a moderately entertaining piece of fluff, but I think it would be more interesting if the "models" voted each other off the show. The ensuing backstabbing and bitchery might make for classic television and intra-household tension.
