TV Review: The CW Redefines Wasting Time With Awful ‘Remodeled’

Submitted by BrianTT on February 23, 2011 - 1:47pmCHICAGO – Fourteen cycles into “America’s Next Top Model,” it is now clear that this sometimes-engaging program has lost all hope of rekindling what once made it entertaining. Perhaps realizing that they haven’t cast that many interesting models in the last few years, the producers have turned to torture, trying to make them intriguing by abusing them. It’s not that clever a plan.
