Hello Bravo Bosses and Happy Tuesday! This episode is audio only but you can watch the audio episode on YouTube! **TRIGGER WARNING - Discussions of SA.
Today we are talking about the new Netflix documentary Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model which dives deep into the glittering highs and controversial lows of one of reality TV’s most iconic franchises: America’s Next Top Model.
Hosted by pop culture analysts and former reality TV insiders, this documentary unpacks how a modelling competition created by and starring Tyra Banks became a global phenomenon—launching careers, redefining beauty standards, and shaping the early-2000s reality TV boom. From unforgettable photo shoots and dramatic panel eliminations to behind-the-scenes production secrets, we explore what really happened when the cameras stopped rolling.
We revisit the show’s most talked-about moments, examine critiques that resurfaced in the social media era, and ask: Did the series empower aspiring models—or exploit them? Featuring commentary on industry impact, reality TV ethics, and the evolution of fashion culture, this documentary offers a thoughtful rewatch of a show that helped define a generation of television.
Love you BBs!
