They profiled so many great girls last season I can’t help but wonder who is left! Who do you think will be the next Top Model in Action?

Bianca talks about how people thought she was putting on a role, but promises fans that what you saw in Cycle 9 was the real deal. She talks about how quickly the show moved from being exciting to stressful and difficult and that affects your relationships in the house, your performance and more.

I really wish Bianca had kept her short cut. The long hair is nice, but it doesn’t look “model” to me.

Lisa chats about how ANTM changed her life. She feels the show represented her in a one-dimensional party-animal light. That’s affected her career prospects, but it’s also opened a lot of doors. She’s currently focusing on her rap career and is performing constantly at the Viper Room. If you’re her Facebook friend, she’ll invite you to all of them.

Caridee talks about how she wanted to be on ANTM forever because she knew she’d use the opportunity better than anyone else who has been on the show. She doesn’t regret anything she did or said on the show–good or bad–because the experience is what it is. She loved the experience and everything that’s come from it.

I think these girls were chosen less so for their favorite-ness and moreso for have somewhat of a career since ANTM and are still willing to be associated with the Top Model brand. I’d love to see them talk to girls who are off doing really interesting things and are actually having modeling careers (as opposed to entertainment careers) or chat with girls who have completely fallen off the map!

The promotional campaign will include several blasts from the past, including CariDee English (Winner, Season 7), Jaslene Gonzalez (Winner, Season 8), Saliesha Stowers (Winner, Season 9), Bianca Golden (Season 9), and Lisa D’Amato (Season 5).

On January 13, Oxygen held a launch party at Gotham Hall in New York City for this new endeavor.

“The cases against Nikki Blonsky and Bianca Golden have been dropped,” Turks and Caicos Police Sgt. Calvin Chase told E! Online.

Bianca talked about the incident on The Tyra Banks show in October, saying Nikki’s dad openly and repeatedly hit her mother, and Nikki’s whole family attacked her.

Charges against Nikki’s father are still pending. The police refused to elaborate on why the charges against Bianca and Nikki were dropped, but I’m sure both girls are relieved they can put this messy situation behind them.

The winner was crown yesterday and I won’t spoil it for you! Videos are below!

What did you think of Modelville? Do you think it’s a project Tyra should try again? What do you think of Carol’s choice of the winner?

Here’s the videos:

Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5

The next episode will air on November 19, the same day as ANTM’s finale! Modelville is a bit silly, don’t you think? You would think these girls would have grown up a bit and learned from their time on America’s Next Top Model.

I’m excited to see their commercials–I think it’s hilarious they are expected to write, shoot, produce and star in their own commercial. This is Modelville, not Project Greenlight!

The girls have only lived in the house for a short while, but the drama is already sky high and some of the girls do some really dumb things that could affect their careers.

The entire episode is available on Youtube. Here’s the first part:

Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5

So, what do you think? Is Modelville going to be a success? Or a failure?

The next episode of Modelville will air on November 5th during The Tyra Banks Show.

Cycle 10’sFatima Siad, Lauren Utter and Dominique Reighard, Cycle 8’s Renee Alway, and Cycle 9’s Bianca Golden are competing for a $50,000 modeling contract. Tyra claims these girls were chosen specially because they “touched her in a very special way.”

Each model has to keep a blog while they are in the Modelville house. You can read each of their blogs here: Bianca, Fatima, Lauren, Dominique, and Renee.

In this video, Tyra introduces each contestant and the show itself. Lauren looks really polished. Bianca talks about her airport fight. It sounds pretty bad, but Nikki has come out publicly saying Bianca is lying.

The Modelville videos continue below the jump!

In this video, Tyra asks the girls how their modeling careers are going. Bianca says she’s been working constantly, but the fight did slow her career down. Bianca has been getting pretty steady work since ANTM, and even appeared in this year’s New York Fashion Week. Renee moved to a dangerous part of LA before moving back to Maui. She’s using Modelville to restart her career.

After ANTM, Dominique found out her boyfriend had gotten another girl pregnant! That’s crazy! So she’s been dealing with that instead of focusing on her modeling career.

Lauren was living with her mom and trying to pursue her modeling career before joining Modelville. Fatima’s career has been growing steadily since ANTM, but she hasn’t been making any money and it’s been a struggle. Tyra also reveals the exciting Modelville prize.

So, what do you think? Are you going to tune in for the next episode? I think it might be a lot of fun, as long as it doesn’t become an exact replica of ANTM.

Modelville will follow former America’s Next Top Model contestants Fatima Siad, Renee Alway, Lauren Utter, Bianca Golden and Dominique Reighard as they continue to pursue their modeling dreams.

Al the girls will live in a house together and complete a series of challenges. The winner will receive a $50,000 modeling contract.

You can see a preview video here. It looks like the drama heats up quickly!

While I think this is going to be fun to watch, do the contestants really think that participating in another Tyra-creating modeling competition is what it will take to make their modeling dreams come true?

Bianca Golden, who appeared on the ninth cycle of America’s Next Top Model, opened up to Tyra Banks about the brawl her family had with Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky’s family.

Bianca will appear on the October 8 episode of The Tyra Banks Show. She claims the fight started when Nikki was rude to Bianca’s aunt. Things got physical between the families when Nikki’s dad attacked Bianca’s mom, Bianca claims.

“He knocked her out. He hit my mom with such force she stumbled back and when she stumbled back the whole family got up and attacked my mom,” Bianca told Tyra, People reports. After the initial blow Nikki “takes her foot and kicks my mom in her vagina, and that’s when my mom fell out completely.”

Bianca says her mom still has bruises from the fight, over two months later.

This is crazy stuff. However, Nikki’s rep refused to comment on Bianca’s appearance, so we are only hearing one side of the story.
