Tyra Banks and "America's Next Top Model," watch out! Bravo's modeling competition show, "Make Me a Supermodel," is back for a second season premiering tonight! The show will be hosted by the dashing model Tyson Beckford and feature judges such as French fashion designer Catherine Malandrino and one of my favorite models from the '90s, Jenny Shimizu. Sixteen aspiring supermodels will be competing to win the title, $100,000 and a contract with New York Model Management. Will you be cheering for tall, lanky and geeky med school bound Colin? Or are you placing your bets on Amanda, a single mom who lost all her baby weight gain in only a month? Watch the video and see these budding models already half naked and preparing to be measured. I certainly don't envy them for that nerve-wracking experience! Be sure to watch the rest of the show every Wednesday at 10/9c on Bravo!
