What the Reality
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the pod! As the intro says, Caché Roberts (@cacheroberts and @whattherealitypod) is deep-diving into everything she's obsessed with. From pop culture and housewives to everything in between.
Join Caché every Toxic Tuesday to discuss some toxic talks, reali(tea) topics, and reali(tv). And catch her on (some) Fridays for a "What's the Reality" on blast-from-the-past topics and historic pop culture moments in reality TV, like the history of reality shows like "The Hills" to epic feuds in reality TV history like Bethenny Frankel vs. Carole Radziwill.

What the Reality
What's the Reality on America's Next Top Model (Part One)?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
America’s Next Top Model premiered in May 2003 and was a reality show competition series based on finding America’s next top model, literally. The competition series would feature women from all over, from Kansas City to New York, and select 10-13 typical women, whipping them into modeling shape over the course of 12 weeks, with looming eliminations each episode. The show’s popularity really began to rise with higher stakes and more incentives by Cycle 3. It was a true pop culture phenomenon.
Recently, the ANTM controversy and Tyra Banks' behavior have been all over timelines, with a Netflix documentary highlighting the show's demise and Banks' cold tactics.
In part one, I am deep-diving into the original show and everything that came from it, from scandals to crazy photoshoots. In part two, I will dive into the three-part documentary series featured on Netflix.
Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to leave a comment and a 5-star rating! Until the next time!
