I grew up absolutely loving this show and now that I'm rewatching it they really don't care at all.

Other versions of the show had the same problem. In the UK one- I forget which season- the girls had to drop from a massive height onto a mattress. The first girl who went laded poorly and her knee shot up and smacked her face! A few cms off and she could have lost her eye. The second girl, after much agonizing, decided against doing the challenge and was eliminated after being battered for it, too. She was absolutely in the right. They tried to give her instructions on how land 'correctly' but she is not a stunt double. She had no experience doing this kind of stuff and there was no telling she wouldn't have lost her eye! They even admitted this could happen and still- somehow- expected her to go for it! I was so glad she refused. It was the best decision she could have made.

I never watched this but always thought it was actually cool and fun based on random gifs and peoples gushing over it. Now im just flabbergasted by the bs they got away with for years

u should watch the one they make the girls shoot in a freezing pool for their sadiscit fun, and keep telling them to soldier on when they complain, until one of them gets hypothermia and needs to be pulled out ASAP and then they lecture her on how she needs to know her limits and tell them when she's reached it, too. Seriously, someone give these girls a SAFEWORD!

I have always disliked the show because for one, I feel like Tyra chose her favorites and would purposefully sabotage anyone she didn’t like and they did things like this to their models. It drives me nuts to see how these women get treated while trying to follow their dreams.

Oh but she served her time already. Now she is god

Tyra is trash

@@sleepy_dino8731 yes

Watch the face instead its judged by naomi and they first show the girls how to do it and its more about modelling than drama

Tyra had nothing to do with planning any of this stuff.

Then she had said the most popular. Not one of the most popular

I don't think she ever walked for Vivienne Westwood so jokes on her 😂

@@lilithhedwig5408 That's Naomi not Tyra.

@@visualbeauty3427 And the AUDACITY she had showing the picture of Naomi drives me INSANE. I was surprised that Tyra did that but at the same time, I wasn't surprised that she tried to humiliate Naomi that way considering the supposed rivalry between Tyra and Naomi (or should I say the rivalry that Tyra had with Naomi).

Vivienne Westwood wouldn't cast her lmao

I totally agree,

AGREED.. NO Compassion in that creature.

Agreed. She is supposed to guide but instead just puts them down

YESSSSSS1000000%

What a sadist woman Tyra is.

Yeah---it's every kind of effed up. When a person is put into an unsafe situation, for the sake of being made a spectacle of (ratings!), and then tearfully apologises, you just KNOW there is major bs going on. These people are awful.

The likes in your comment at the moment is 911

@@TiffyVella1 like “I knew you were gonna fail and I’m going to insult you but why are you crying?”

Right? I think the same. Those black shoes were like stripper shoes.

@@vivienkoles1880 stripper shoes are actually pretty stable. Since they're made to dance in they kinda have to be.

@@existentialcrisiscat5188 Still takes a bit of practice to get used to the height and balance of them, and usually you never walk on the heel while dancing, just the platform. Depends on the dance style of course, but I find it much easier to dance in them holding the pole than to walk in them.

I think they were more referencing the height of the shoe, which the height has been used in the past few years. The heel in the VW shoe was definitely wider but the height looked just as tall.

Vivien Köles as someone that is into designing, I can say that the shoes were very disproportionated, which makes me think they actually hired someone to create/customize them at such height height.

Miss J said I knew you'd be the one to mess up. I mean, I would've cried too :(

Imagine saying that to Tyra, would immediately get eliminated, even if she wasn't the girl to be eliminated that day, using some lame excuse of how they don't transmit enough or they don't smile with their eyes or some crappy comment like that

Tyra would tell the person "if you don't do it then you're going home" , they always threaten the contestants into doing these dangerous stunts. But i agree if it's someone the host or judges won't do themselves, then they know 100% it's dangerous and risky and i would refuse instantly .

Omg!

Tyra is evil

Came here looking for specifically this comment. These are NOT walking shoes. And no man or woman is allowed to sit and judge how "well" they walked in shoes they've never put on their own feet. Absolutely insane.

That’s what I thought ! On Vivienne’s really tall shoes the heels are either platforms, shaped outwards at the bottom so it has a sort of hourglass shape, or they’re just thick (the whole shoe, for that matter, are more stable which it needs for walking in). The misinformation spread in this episode could get someone watching really injured

The height isn’t even the worst part. It’s the ties around the ankle. There’s no way anyone would be stable in the those.

The lengths these poor girls went to I can’t believe this was ok considering how recent the show was aired 🥺

Unfortunately Tyra is holding the girls to standards of the old days of modeling before photoshop, and the models rights were taken into consideration, she’s one of those ppl who is like “my generation suffered so u should suffer too”

I tried similar shoes on... the problem is not the height, but the weight of these shoes! Its like having weights tied on your ankles!

I know that Graveyard Girl (another youtuber) has a pair of shoes like these and she has said that they are purely for photo shoots, they are almost impossible and dangerous to walk in

@@masavrabl2128 I wear shoes that tall for concerts a lot since I'm so short. I've also walked for seven hours at a convention in them. It helps a lot if they are boots and not just strappy heels because it gives you ankle support. However, would not recommend it if someone does not have strong ankles.

Seriously, I cringed at that part! Leave her alone Jay, you’re making a problem out of nothing 😂

I'd probably get kicked off for telling Jay how and where to stick Tyra and their comments... But that's just me😁😁😁

Yea forcing an introvert to scream or do something that gives them attention only makes them more uncomfortable :\

that's why you're not a model. Just deal with it.

@@skurinski Model are humans, they have different personalities. Not all models are extroverts. In fact, if you look the most known and booked model currently, most of them are pretty laid-back and soft-spoken, except for a few notable exceptions. Models have also often (mostly unfairly) been called boring in person, because a lot of them are actually pretty introverted but people expect them to be eccentrics because of the colorful pictures they take. Ultimately, their job is to model, not to be an entertainer or a performer. They can have whatever personalities suits them, but being a little introverted certainly DOES NOT prevent you from being a model, and never has. And BTW, being introverted doesn't equal not having a personality. Not even close. This show was just creating its own standards by bending to Tyra's whims and personal exprience, not what is actually the truth of the industry.

I am feeling it for Kari. The body image issues she probably has being told to work out and tone up then getting sent home jeez. They were cruel

They are crazy!!! I thought she had one of the best photos. Did they even see her amazing legs. I hope she didn’t listen to them she looked great!

@@alexisv1278 from Nigel. I can't stand him. He gets so easily offended by anything anyone says to him yet he doles out insults.

Kari’s photo was my absolute favorite. She looked *stunning*!!!

They should have eliminated Gina. They kept her because of cheekbones but Kari had much more potential

Unfortunately she is right. A new model will never be booked after an accident like that bc who wants to book a model who you are unsure about her not ruining your show + she doesnt bring people there bc shes new like she doesnt has a fan base or the designer gets gossiped abt letting an unexperieced model walk his/her runway. The world known super model built her brand (her name) maybe many years and is known to make a perfect job, she will still be booked after smth like this, the new one wont.

Thats because shes calling out naomie Campbell lol

@@destinyonestar2584 Leave it to Tyra to throw shade at Naomi.

@@bonnezmc7846 have you ever even watched runway shows??? Models fall all the time even without those tall heels. It’s called being human.

@@YukiLeiu did you read their whole comment? They mean that for a new model, a fall could be very damaging to their career in comparison to a well known one.

I think Kari’s was too big. In the thumbnail of this video, it looks like her whole foot was coming out. I can’t even imagine walking in these in my actual shoe size, but walking in these when they are way too big and even more clumsy? These judges should be ashamed of themselves. Then they bullied her afterwards...

Wow. I'm not surprised. one of the ladies looked like her feet were about 2 sizes too big for the shoes. Such a cruel show :(

Yup it looked like they used the same pair for all the models despite them having different shoe sizes. I suspect the girls who were able to walk without falling probably lucked out to be the right shoe size.

Yup. I just bought the Pleaser Beyond 008 10” clear heels and they come with a warning label not to walk in them, just take still photos

For real that was the first thing I noticed :/

right?! I do pole fitness and when i got 8 inch Pleaser heels i thought i was going to break my ankle. They take FOREVER to get used to walking in

And the fact that they are making these faces while they walk even after tyra said that not many people can walk in these heels.. the NERVE of these judges.

She downplayed the whole thing like it was just a paper cut. But had it been her in crutches the whole set would need to shut down.

It’s *SMIZING*

because she feeds on the pain she inflicts on others

@@anonymouse9833 😭😭😭

Just like she won’t do any nude shoots but loves having these girls do them

@@breana2734 FACTS!! Plus to bring up Naomi Campbell's name on falling in high heels I believe it was intentional because they had a lot of beef between them back in the day.. the shade of it all!!

Yes, this! I'd also like to see Tyra handle that horribly dangerous pendulum challenge or that time they walked down the face of a building or in that giant ball.

Ummmm I'm pretty tyra walked for VS and wore similar high heels, also fashion nude and adult nude is two different things!

@@coltonkleins Doesn't matter, she expected her models to do nude fashion shoots but refused to pose naked herself. There is a name for that: Hypocrisy.

If Tyra walks in runway like that heels she will falldown.

She probably imagined Naomi every time and got off on that.

@@Itri_Vega omg 😆

She does. Tyra feeds on the misery of 20-year-old girls to keep her ego inflated, like a vampire.

And they told her that right before sending the poor girl home, was that at all necessary??

That was so messed up. Not only that, but I think she's adorable and so pretty

I loved her photo! Plus the shoes looked too big on her, the straps definately seemed loose.

@@PlaystationSimmer yeah she looks better than everyone in the judge panel lmao

She was sooo pretty, too! Gorgeous. You can't go around telling people to change their faces wtf. Some people look great even without all the conventionalism.

@@yeseniapadilla4974 yeah, also who was eliminated I got so confused

@Lauryn Shadowlark damn that does suck... They were so rude

i really expected them to have something cool for the gretel outfit since it was supposed to be modernised and the rest of the outfits were quite modern(tho i have no idea why they chose that outfit for the princess and the frog and i am baffled that they thought that was a good choice), but then she comes out in this halloween outfit from party city like PLEASE

@@urmom-pf8qb male too

Lmfaooo you all and these comments!!!

Haha I know 🤣

had no idea, but makes sense

bettie page wore shoes like those when posing as a bondage model in the 50s. posing is the key word. shoes like those are not meant for walking, are meant for pictures, and most of the time she was not standing, but sitting on a couch. the pornographer had more decency than tyra here.

Those shoes are made for posing in photos and in the bedroom. When exotic dancers use them, you notice there are usually a LOT of things to grab a hold of and they do a lot of stunting, so it keeps them off the ground as much as possible.

@@Digmer yes, exactly, they are also used by pole dancers that do the "exotic syle", if I'm not wrong, obviously not for walking

@@chiarap8831 You can walk and dance with them, but the trick is to train youself and be sure that your ankles can support you. You just don't start with gigantic pleasers like that at once, it's the best way to injure yourself.

I agree it was horrible they were really nasty!

But a girl with just a tiny bit of visible muscle would (probably) be told to be careful not to look "too bulky". Jeezus.

She had an amazing photo and her expression was perfect. The judges are so petty

Right?! Nothing like telling an already insecure girl that she needs to lose nonexistent weight, to really set someone on the path to negative body image and an eating disorder! Wow. 🙄

I was so sad they made her cry. She's gorgeous and had a great picture.

Straight up gaslighting

The girl in crutches is Danielle and she wins the season. She was compensated with $100k

@@laurelsayler2647 that's not compensation though. that's what the winner was owed regardless

They were all literally smirking when the models fell down. They looked at each and smirked and then hid their faces to pretend to feel bad, but were really hiding glee.

They put the girls in danger on purpose and it's stupid. Do they really care ? No. What if the models are all injured ? It's the end of the show. Stupid.

I can’t believe looking back now that this show didn’t get more criticism

has the show been cancelled?

@@bukolaomoyeni6043 i believe so, but i think it got canceled because no one was watching it anymore

Yes! The reality show she judged “the face” was so much more humane to the models.

I never knew I needed this until now

Now I’m in need of Naomi reacting this 🧍‍♀️

Well she is a youtuber now lol I think she would pass tho because they did make up

i think naomi would pay extra not to

No. The models do their own make up in some cases. For photo shoots, they hire people to do it for them.

You're photographing old but you look so young in person. Uh, how does she correct that? She doesn't pick the makeup, lighting or take the photos.

I-

It's so obvious Tyra is jealous of Naomi. Naomi must live in her head rent-free.

Yeah exactly thinking the same 😌

They even said Brita from Cycle 4 needed to lose weight because she weighed 138 lbs. She was by no means fat! That made me so mad.

@@rydbthatsme I “don’t like hearing it” because it’s body shaming and it’s harmful. She is clearly a healthy person, and even if she wasn’t- are they dieticians? Personal trainers? Fitness experts? No? Then it isn’t their place to say a damn thing. If you think this girl is in any way overweight or unhealthy you genuinely have issues, and I hope you’re able to work through them in a positive way 😬

@@rydbthatsme but it is wrong? She’s a completely normal weight and they want people who are too thin

@Rayne Michael They are bullies. Nothing more.

It was so messed up. Not only that, but I LOVED her baby face, it made her super cute and stand out from the other girls

Knowing what Nigel’s wife looks like I wonder if he has a thing for the super skinny and is prejudiced against those outside that body type

They look fine for a photoshoot or to decorate a room, not much more...

They are also the wrong size, which means their feet are also sliding around :(

@@arisucheddar3097 fr... they wanted all the girls to fall like that🤧

Yeah exactly what I said. They don't have any support around the ankle and are even loose on some models. Theyre wrong for this 100% they're improperly designed and also improperly sized

same here, my pleasers are easier to walk in than normal heels. These looking like knock of cheap stripper shoes all in the wrong sizes

She was holding her breath, pls. She didn't flinch when the girls fell, and as some pointed out she even seemed to be smiling.

In one such 'challenge', in the UK version, a girl got her knee jabbed into her face (!) as she landed from an absurd height. The next girl refused to jump and with good reason, a few cms off and she could lose her eye! Well, she got battered for not giving it a go and sent home.

I remember an episode where one of the girls began having a literal panic attack because the shoot brought back memories of when she was sexually assaulted when she was young. Jay basically said to her, "Wow, I'm sorry to hear that but you need to get over it and do the shoot." Jay is just as toxic as Tyra.

Remember the episode where they told a model that she was "too thin" and made her leave the competition??

They always point out people who are "quiet" as if they're freaks. They claim they're shy and act like it's some horrible thing. No, usually quiet people just think more so they might be more intelligent then the idiots pointing out how quiet they are (Tyra).
