America’s Most Smartest Model, has begun to air all over. Quite an interesting concept it appears the nation wants to break stereotypes about how models are just all looks and no brains. Well good step in the right direction America, yet you seem to not realize it’s a televised show which the producers hand selected to make it as drama filled as possible, or to anger certain audiences. Also there is a money reward at the end for whom ever is the smartest, rather the “most” smartest model. I mean if you you’re trying to break stereotypes in this world, money shouldn’t be an incentive. I mean, making money is a stereotype about America already so way to kill one stereotype by flaunting another.
Well anyways, the fact of the matter is that they perceive these people to have had modeling experience but they are not top notch models by any means. And guess who the “smarts” is being tested by, good ole’ monotone Ben Stein. What a cutie that man is he can lull me to sleep anytime of the day, yet they chose him since he is an alleged genius. I’m sure there are better people that could have hosted it, but I suppose that’s the appeal in our society.
Regardless, the show houses models who claim they are smart a fifty-fifty split of men and women, but this ratio changes as the show progress, eliminations etc. But as they were working to eliminate some of the cast the first episode Ben Stein, the very easily aroused man that he is, decided to keep an ex playboy bunny on the show no matter how ditsy and bad at her job she was.
Granted, she makes for good TV because of her stupidity, but it’s not one in the same I felt that Ben Stein kept her there in order to potentially ask her to repay the favor for letting her stay on the show. I’m not casting judgments, but its hard to tell with a monotone man, his intentions seemed shady to me. Or it could have been the producers, but nonetheless it was a very awkward scene in the opening show.
