Reality shows are sooo phony

I love America's Next Top Model! Well, I used to love it. That was until Bianca was eliminated last season. For some reason, when that happened, I started to look at this show through different eyes. OK, on to why I think this show (and reality shows in general), are phony. I have seen every season of Top Model, and a pattern started to emerge. Usually 13 girls are chosen, but whenever Tyra chooses 14 (it has been done twice) 2 girls are eliminated in one week. On two separate seasons, one of the girls had a friend who died. It just so happens that in both of these seasons, and ONLY these seasons, a photo shoot involved something relating to death (one was a shoot in a graveyard, the other a "death scene" shoot). Tyra and the rest of the panel act like they are so insightful during judging, as if they do not see footage of the girls at the house prior to judging. One more thing. Why is it that the winner gets a $100,000 Cover Girl contract, but you never see a single winner in a Cover Girl commercial? Just those crappy homemade ones they show during Top Model. It seems you are better off losing this competition. I see those girls more that I see the winners! Any fans out there? What do YOU think?
