For a while earlier this year, it seemed like there were going to be so many potential rivals aiming to knock Tyra Banks'
America's Next Top Model out of the top spot of the model reality show world, it would just be a matter of time until Tyra had to admit defeat. There was
A Model Life and
America's Most Smartest Model, and then Bravo announced
Make Me a Supermodel.
Bravo's series hasn't yet started, but as of now, we're not seeing the other two as having made a significant dent in her viewership. It seems right now more likely that dissatisfaction with the outcome of last season might have more negative impact than the competition from a show like
America's Most Smartest Model.
The show did fairly well, but unlike many other reality programs, even with the Writers' Guild strike hasn't spurred on VH1 to schedule a second season yet. One person sure wants it. Judge Mary Alice Stephenson appears unfazed by the less than enthusiastic response from some of the contestants to her direct style, and is ready to work through another pack of
America's Most Smartest Model.

Yeah I definitely would watch season 2 of America's Most Smartest Model.
Earlier this month, she was spotted at a party for
Harper's Bazaar magazine, where she made a plea to gossip sheet Page Six, saying, "We're hoping we get cleared for another season [of
America's Most Smartest Model], it was so much fun. Tell Michael Hirschorn to do it!" she said. (Michael Hirschorn is the head of development at VH1.)
Page Six dutifully followed up, and Hirschorn came back with a less-than-effusive reply of, "Well, maybe. Ratings were OK.”
