Wonder why you haven't heard from me (or other ANTM staffers) about that nasty ANTM strike in so long? Because I've overdosed on the topic. After "the terrible twelve" were eliminated for our attempts to go union (read: no longer employed by the show), I've gone through a full spectrum of emotions ranging from regret to unbridled rage. My main concern these days is finding a new source of employment, and producing as much of my own creative work as possible. However, this article posted in yesterday's LA.com was just brought to my attention. Rather than ramble on in my own words, I'd like to share the opinion of Katherine, one of their staff writers. I don't have the pleasure of knowing her myself-- but if I did, I'd give her a big hug and a heart-felt "Thanks for noticing." The article reads as follows:

"America's Next Top Model" is kind of appointment television around here, as there's nothing better after a long day at the office than watching vapid beauties backstab each other and get their dreams crushed by drag queens. (See? If you've never seen it, don't you wish you had now?) However, last night's episode was dreadful and embarrassing to watch, from the endless fawning over Tyra Banks to the elimination of the only girl left who actually looks like a model. Other TV watchers noticed this marked decline in quality—the segment where Tyra had the girls pose in an unnaturally cold pool was meant to show how fearless she is, but instead made her seem slightly psychotic and homicidal—and we've got the inside scoop on why the show went downhill so quickly. Remember the writer's strike? According to one of the striking, and now probably fired, "Top Model" writers (who wishes to remain anonymous), last night's episode was the first without writer involvement - they were well out the door. So, lesson learned, Tyra. That's what happens when you let go of the staffers who are more than just pretty faces.

Hey there! How's it going?

I'm writing an article about the strike for a Journalism course. is there any way to get in contact with someone for a quote? Good luck guys. you deserve this!

I wish you guys the best of luck

i can't believe this hasn't been resolved yet. i mean, it is literally beyond belief. keep up the good fight, and i hope you all find (better) jobs!

Dont give up now.

Anything good in this world has to be fought for, otherwise we'd live in compromised apathy.

Good luck with the election! Kick some NLRB ass.
