America's next top model.



M - Infromal, we even see some of the models arguing. Fly on the wall type of shots.

I - CW television network, also known for programs such as One tree hill, 90210 and Smallville. Shown on Living TV in Britain.

G - Reality TV ( sending off messages that being as skinny as a model is what is accepted in 'reality'.

R- "survival of the fittest" well in this case, It's as if the one who fits in with all the model conventions wins. The larger model who participate are commonly represented as the outcast.

A - considering other programs that CW air, the audience are a mass female audience. Escapists, mainstreamers and aspirers.

I - The idea that such a show is even popular, we can see that the ideologies are also accepted by the sudiences. We are given the sense that we need to look a certain type, and possibly even that looks can get you somewhere in life. Also that you need to fit in and become a mainstreamer.

N - Linear. There have been 15 cycles up till now, and each cycle, the audiences follow the episodes to see who finally wins.
