I don't expect ANTM alum to compete with real top models (to do that, it would have to be a competition of 14-year-olds), but I'd like them to pretend a little bit better and stop casting old fugly bitches like Dominique who NEVERINAMILLIONYEARSONTHISORANYOTHERPLANET could hope to be anything close to a "top model"...

Also, I know I've read that some of the younger AI contestants still had to go to school or do tutoring during the show. Furthermore, nude photoshoots with Nigel couldn't be used as prizes anymore.

I think the show might be interesting with 16 yr olds and their stage moms in the house. I know it would be like I Know My Kids a Star but with more focus on the girls.

But I'm sure they have to sign a release form and no nude shoot would be allowed. They should probably lower the age limit to sixteen and quit letting in hags like Domanique and Marvita.

On both shows adults are always present. I think somebody from Endurance said the "adults" had a seperate cabin further up the beach from them. The kids were encouraged to stay in their huts while the adults sat around. Kid Nation I think was suppose to be like a sucky summer camp.

You'd lose the stripping, the drunkenness, and the big fights, at least. It works on Idol because their offstage life isn't a big part of the show. ANTM would have to be a different [better] show in which they focused more on the MODELING and less on the domestic drama if they were to let minors compete.

I think the USA's child labor laws / children in film laws are too strict to make it feasible here. Australia might be more lenient. Which is really kind of ironic because I've read stories about 14-15 year old US girls getting sent overseas to model without their parents. They live in those model apartments with many others. That's got to be a million times more risky than being on a reality TV show. Still, I don't think kids can really consent to be on reality TV. They really cannot comprehend how it can change their lives. So, although it might make the show more realistic, I'm against it. I like my reality TV, but I'm not into ruining some kid's life for my entertainment.

They live in those model apartments with many others. If their parents can't travel with them then they have chaperones, at least the American ones have chaperones. Don't know about the Brazilian and Eastern European counterparts.
