Robin Manning (Cycle 1 of America’s Next Top Model)

When I was younger I only ever watched cycle 19 of America’s Next Top Model growing up, but recently I just started watching the entire series online. Almost everything about the treatment of these contestants by Tyra Banks, the judges, and her producers, is absolutely disgusting, especially in regards to the intelligent, eloquent, and/or well-educated young women with dark skin…How was this show ever allowed on television? At the same time, though, everything about it that’s completely awful makes it addicting to watch…It’s like a train wreck you can’t look away from.

Forever single because this is my reaction when anyone shows an interest in me.

#2 - Cycle 1′s Snake Beauty Shoot

In terms of an editorial point of view, this is probably the most successful and iconic photoshoot in the first ten cycles. It produced some of the best photos of the cycle, including everyone bar Robin and Giselle’s best photos on the show, and even then it was a close call with Giselle. I think the fact each concept was wildly different made stand out. The photos didn’t blur into each other, but they were linked together by the snakes, forming some kind of cohesion that is really needed for a good photoshoot. If there was ever a photoshoot that I would wanted repeated as a carbon copy it would be this, specially given it being in the first cycle. Would have been nice to see some linking back to the original venture.
