I think the challenge prize of a go-see is awesome. I also like them having Tyson and Nicole as mentors.

I can't believe Salome actually said that she wanted to pick someone that she could beat in front of everyone and then chose CJ. Even if it's true, c'mon on now.

Kerryn reminds me of Alana Zimmer. <3 Jonathan kind of reminds me of Halle's man. I might have to retract both of those after I get a better look.

I'm not going to begrudge anyone for being uncomfortable about being thrown into a "gay" photoshoot, but Branden is really going to have to work past that if he plans to be a model. And seriously, the girls in the girl/girl shoots sucked! Should have brought Steph and Jackie back to show them how it's done.

I'm grateful that they got rid of Ken with his stocky-ass body. I actually think this group stands out more than last season (sadly the girls are kind of plain though).

I think they have a higher success rate as well. It's only been one season but I think everyone from the first season have all signed on with major modeling companies. I think eight out of the original thirteen have all signed on with New York Model Management.

IDK, a lot of the MMAS folks are signed but how many of them are working? It could just be that because of ANTM's bigger fanbase, more of the contestants' work gets posted but it doesn't really seem like any former MMAS contestants are doing significantly better than many ANTMers.

Ronnie, Casey, Perry, Steph and Aryn just kind of seem to be sitting on NYM's boards. I only remember Ben walking in one show last season and haven't seen anything else from him either. Holly (who I never thought much of as a model) and Shannon (who I've always liked) probably get about same quality + amount of work -- if not less -- as the likes of Saleisha, Bianca, Chantal.

Fatima is with New York Models too (so I can't even give them the benefit of the doubt that the agency isn't working harder for them), but has surpassed them and in a shorter time at that.

Kind of off-topic, but I want to take the opportunity to mention her:

I don't know if anyone here has watched the Australian MMAS, but one of the bigger success stories came from that show: 18-year-old Shanina (NYM signed her too) who walked in a bunch of shows during NY Fashion Week FW09 and is being considered for Victoria's Secret. She didn't win the show.
