So THE CW is officially launched! I for one am tres excited if only because my favorite shows from The WB (One Tree Hill/Smallville) and my favorite er.. show from UPN (America's Next Top Model) have combined on one network. First up was the season premiere of ANTM.

I'm sad that Naima-look-alike was sent home first. I really thought she took a great picture. I realized tonight they pick contestants more of their back story than on their actual potential. There were a lot of pretty candidates who would've been great models but they didn't have a foster care story or secret illness or illegitimate children.

Meanwhile... I'm getting sick of Tyra Banks. How you gonna tell your models to act all fierce when you-a-come-out looking like this hot mess girl? (That was my Tyra impression)

Her photo smile is so strained, no?

Dare I say, i actually liked CANADA's Next Top Model more? Sure we have uglier girls, but I thought our photoshoots were incredibly unique and editorial. ANTM seems to be re-doing the same thing every year. None of their photoshoots are really that edgy or interesting anymore. And Tyra is just too much. Calm the personality down! Reel it in girl, reel it in.

While Tyra has lost her ability to strike a fierce pose, here is Erika Durance stealing one of Mis Bank's signature poses:

BAM!

In other news, remember who this girl is?

Yeah... it's Tia Mowry, formerly of "Sister Sister" fame. Remember that show? She starred with her twin sister Tamara? It was on after school when we were kids? Or maybe when we were teenagers but still watched kiddy shows?...
