Is America’s Next Top Model rigged? Former ANTM judge Janice Dickinson says so. According to Dickinson “CoverGirl are the ones who choose the model — not any of the judges. People don’t know that!” she revealed in an interview on Janice TV at FilmOn.com. “When I found that out, I split. It’s rigged!”
She went on to say “The fact of the matter is [Tyra Banks] makes like $90 million,” she said. “She makes a lot of money per year still hawking that franchise worldwide — they’re doing it in every country — and it’s CoverGirl who chooses the winner…F*** you Tyra! Eat a bag of royal skank!”
“America’s Next Top Model” parent network, The CW, tells Us Weekly that Dickinson’s comments about the show and CoverGirl “is completely untrue.”
Dickinson reiterated her feelings to the tabloid on Friday stating; “I have a distaste for her. In America you say the truth. On TV you can fabricate it but eventually we all find out.”
I don’t know if the show is rigged but there definitely was something up last week with the season finale of “America’s Next Top Model: All Stars” with Angelea Pearson being disqualified and the judges not offering any explanation as to why. Only saying that something to the affect of she broke a rule and that will not be tolerated. The show then offered the winning prize to another contestant so hastily that it could not have been more obvious that Pearson was the actual winner.
This information is coming from a bitter source as Dickinson and Banks are no longer friends and Dickinson has been known to refer to Banks as “fat” and a “man”, so we should take it with a grain of salt. But like I mentioned earlier in the post, nothing is reality in reality shows.
It would be of no shock to me if the judges knew from episode one, which girl was going to ultimately be the winner. After all, it is a reality show first before it is an actual competition.
