Guest blogger John-John Williams IV is helping me out with the overdose of reality that's on right now with recaps of America's Next Top Model:

The hair extensions are back, the couture is hot, and the models are, well, skinny.

America’s Next Top Model is back for Cycle 9. This year promises to be the same cut-throat catwalk-a-thon that fashionistas have grown to love.

After the first episode, I’m so excited to see how this season will unfold. Yes, it is way too early to predict a winner, but I think a few girls are already standing out.

Lisa: This exotic dancer sounds a lot like Alicia Keyes – her speaking voice, that is. She’s a pretty girl. But that might be a problem. Past winners have had a very distinctive look. I’m not sure if she’s got that. I’ll have to watch how she photographs.

Ambreal: She’s from my alma mater, so it’s safe to say that she has proper fashion training from her daily struts up and down “The Yard.” She has strong African features, which should play to her advantage.

Chantal: She’s tall, she’s a fashionista, and the judges love her. Enough said.

Ebony: One person has to be the Queen Bee. She has the confidence and goods to get her far. Her attitude sucks. But she is stunning. She won’t be making any friends among the girls anytime soon. But who cares if you win the top prize?

Janet: This sassy southern girl with the cute hair cut walks with a confidence that should strike fear in her opponents. In the season opener, one judge remarked that she is a finished product.

Mila: So perky I wanted to vomit! But, the judges really seem to like her. She should advance pretty far in the competition.

So, who’s going to be this year’s Jaslene, Eva, Yoanna, or CariDee? Keep coming back each week for more of my thoughts and tidbits about the show.

Just a reminder: The show airs tonight at 8 p.m. on The C.W.
