Top Model cycle 3 debuts tonight.
The third season of America’s Next Top Model debuts tonight at 8 p.m. ET on UPN. Fourteen women will compete to be the last model standing. Tyra dishes on the new season to TV Guide, and says she thought to herself that this group of models is “spoiled. They don’t realize [modeling success] takes years. And they’re very lucky–the winner’s gonna be famous in months.'” She says producers “had no idea the [personalities] were gonna be this strong and that there was gonna be this much conflict. We sit in the editing room and go, ‘Which fight should we show?’ It’s just a crazy cast and they frustrated the hell out of me a lot of times.” Those of you tuning in just to see nudity, even blurred, can save your time: producer Ken Mok tells The New York Daily News that post-Janet Jackson overreaction means no nude photo shoot this season.

about reality blurred

Welcome! I’m Andy Dehnart, a writer who obsessively and critically covers reality TV, focusing on how it’s made and what it means.

I created reality blurred 23 years ago as a place to collect interesting links I found. Today, I review and recommend reality shows, documentaries, and nonfiction entertainment; analyze news and report from behind the scenes; and interview people who create and star in reality TV shows. You’ll also find other people’s insightful takes on reality TV in these pages, too.

I believe pop culture can both entertain and affect us, and so reality blurred’s goal is to amplify the best and hold the worst accountable. In other words, I’m here to call it out when it sucks and celebrate it when it’s amazing. Let’s talk about it together!
