Who’s Got the Look? A 45 year old!

Self magazine, here I come!If you were keeping up with TVLand’s She’s Got the Look, this is old news to you, but if not, spoiler alert: the results are in and Tanya, a 45-year-old mother of five, took home the prize.  Over on the Television Without Pity message boards, one poster had this to say about the series overall:

It was NICE to see a reality show of mature women, making healthy breakfasts in a relatively clean kitchen, going to their rooms to avoid conflict, keeping their shirts on, not abusing alcohol or covering my screen with cigarette smoke, (or jumping into a hot tub or shower together, or bawling and bitching on the phone to their boyfriends), generally encouraging each other without some evil agenda and acting like normal adults on a reality show. The obvious comparison is the ANTM, that freakshow of post-adolescent trauma, but really, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen contestants so genuine or at least courteous with each other, especially as the final eliminations approached.

The She’s Got the Look ladies seemed to be able to stay away from the classic reality show traps of boozing and hot-tubbing, and good for them!  TVLand is already gearing up for next season with a casting call.  Do you think you have what it takes?  Apply here.

She’s Got the Look: Finale Tonight!

The finale of She’s Got the Look, TVLand’s answer to America’s Next Top Model, airs tonight at 10. The show chronicles the search for the next great 35+ supermodel, and with the finalists’ ages clocking in at 37, 40, 45, and 50, there isn’t a Lily Cole (b. 1988) among the bunch.

But do we honestly believe that a fashion industry that prizes youth is going to embrace a 40-year-old supermodel?  A few magazine covers and commercials, sure, but it’s hard to imagine a full-fledged baby boomer walking down the runway at Fashion Week.  Still, maybe it’s more fun to watch our peers compete than it is to watch Tyra’s teens and twentysomethings pose and preen.

Who are you rooting for? Bahia, Celeste, Karin, or Tanya?

Check back soon for a recap of tonight’s episode!  Here’s a preview:
