Last but not least: Stalking and staking also at Viva Switzerland

Viva Schweiz is jumping on the already crowded bandwagon of casting shows. Starting May 7, the network will air «America’s Next Top Model,» the mother of all modeling shows: Young women will grapple with their body measurements, hair colors, and other styling issues under the watchful eye of supermodel Tyra Banks.

 Viva Switzerland is jumping on the crowded bandwagon of casting shows. Starting on May 7, the channel will show "America's Next Top Model," the mother of all modeling shows: Under the thumb of supermodel Tyra Banks, young women struggle with their body measurements, hair color and other styling problems. 
Inexplicably, millions of young women still dream of spending their lives half-starved in the hairdresser's chair, regularly being given new hair colors that they don't like at all. To zigzag across the international catwalks and "enchant the world with their beauty," as Viva Switzerland writes, they will put up with almost anything. Most of them make it at most to a third-rate fashion shoot for unknown labels; those who are lucky marry rich. Everything clear? The career of a model is not glamorous, but bleak, rocky and tough, and only the most resistant and best of these creatures will ever make it. So in "America's Next Top Model," too, there is "merciless sorting," as Viva announces, because only one of the ten contenders gets a modeling contract, cover stories and a bright future opportunity. In addition to physical fitness, intelligence (huh?) and humor (oh yes, otherwise the eternal styling orgies and bad-tempered photographers are really unbearable) also count.
