TYRA BANKS: Smize Matters

Rebekah offers up America's Next Top Model as a quintessential reality show of the early-mid 2000’s. It’s a case study in reality tv before we knew better; and leading the way was Tyra Banks. Her undeniable talent and beauty gave her an early start in the modeling and entertainment industries, but her unpredictable antics often got her in trouble and always got the internet buzzing.

From two lawsuits on both ANTM and America’s Got Talent, Tyra had to defend her controversial actions, but it was in a criminal stalking case few people talked about that found Tyra in the role of victim that was anything but entertaining.

Love her or hate her, Tyra Banks is a pop culture icon; this episode will leave you wondering how we will ever survive if Tyra stops rooting for us.

*Below Deck recap until around 17:30*
