How did the Next Top Model - British Edition compare to America's Next Top Model?

I was surprised at how amateur it looked, specifically the production values and judging set. The girls didn't seem very attractive or talented. The judges were surprisingly friendly and encouraging. I don't know who the Host was - was she someone famous?

The host is Lisa Snowden (on-off girlfriend of your very own George Clooney). I'm English. I only watched one of British Top Model because it was SO. You're right. Everyone was far too friendly. There was no bitchiness which is what makes the American one so watchable.

I was thinking the same thing you are. While deliberating, the judges actually considered it a strike against a woman who wasn't getting along with everybody while in recent US version Melrose (who was really disliked by her peers) made it to the top two. About it not seeming up to date, it was an older season so maybe it's caught up now. If you look at US Top Model season one, it looks a bit primitive too.

It was boring. The girls didn't seem like they knew what they was doing.
