Resting On Pretty

America’s Next Top Model premiered in 2003, and has not been brought to justice in the nearly two decades since. Enter Cassie and Erin - two failed models, who each week sit down with an episode of the show to recap, review and reassess the competition that dared to ask “do you want to be on top?” The answer might surprise us all.
