Tyra Banks New Reality Show For CW

Tyra Banks and Ken Mok, the duo behind the CW’s No. 1 show, “America’s Next Top Model ” has created a new untitled fashion-magazine reality series for the network that will begin in the summer.The show, which the CW unofficially describes as “The Devil Wears Prada” meets “The Assistant,” is eyed as a potential companion piece for “Top Model.”Mok said:
“It is a competition show about aspiring assistants looking to become assistant editors at a fashion magazine,” “At the same time they’re trying to prove themselves as aspiring fashionistas, that they have a sense of style and savvyness, all the things to make it in the fashion world.”
CW describes the show as follows:
In each episode, the contestants will compete in two challenges, an individual competition and a team competition, in which each squad will submit a page for “The Book,” a mock edition of the magazine. The losing team’s page will end up in the trash, and one of its team members will be eliminated. The page from the other team will be included in “The Book.” The winner of the competition will land a job in the fashion industry.
I guess will be seeing more of Tyra on TV.

This is going to be the greatest new show on TV!!! I was cast for the show, on Friday Feb.8th in NYC, and am the new face to watch, because i will be the “Last Assistant Standing”.
Their Casting dept. (including actor Paul Medford) told all the contestants that this show has been in the planning for a very long time.
Anyways, the concept is “Devil Wears Prada” meets “Apprentice”. The team of selected contestants is going to be tested by going through vigorous “assistant” training program, all to win the grand prize of becoming an editor of Elle Magazine….
You should have seen the contestants, they were all retards that would never fit the role of an editor.. So, watch out for me, because i will be the next editor of Elle.
