Canada's Next Top Model Rundown!

So we finally have something to replace ANTM, I don't know about everyone one else but I was missing my Wednesday fix of drama and fashion. I still would pick watching ANTM any day but we need to support our Canadian talent. From what I see this season they actually picked the right host The Diva Ms.Jay and the girls seem to be allot prettier!

The other host last season was such a bore some top model, she was oh so forgettable! As for the judges, I love me some Nolé Martin who is a sought out celebrity stylist (did i say i love me some Nolé Martin!), Jeanne Becker who needs no introduction, Yasmin Warsame top model in the industry (absolutely stunning),and celebrity photographer Paul Alexander.
They still have that guest judge around who I believe is the runway coach Stacey Mckenzie. Don't get me wrong this girl has a killer walk but she scares me a bit with that voice.Just imagine what she sounds like when she wakes up in the morning SCARY!

So the first episode is complete and honestly I really think Steff should have gone home over Mika although she was a loner her picture was fierce. Steff's picture double flop and yes to me she is touching on the drag side!

For my readers I will be covering CNTM weekly so please feel free to comment on your tops pics or just on the show in general.

Here is the rundown of the top 10 (even though Mika is out).

It's a bit early but so far she is my favortie that picture was SMOKIN!

Sinead's photo was HOT!

Jon B hit us with some classics and with some new joints that will be out with his new album Back to Love. If you were there you know what im talking about, this is what i call MUSIC in every sense of the word. Some new school R&B artists need to take note, Jon B is what you call a true R&B artist!
