MY HOTLIST: Concepts for the Philippines' Next Top Model (with the authentic Pinoy twist)

This list is intended for humor of course. But if the show’s running out of ideas, hey, feel free to take some of mine.

The truth is that pretty much everyone watching the Philippines' Next Top Model hates the show; even the producers, staff, models, and possibly the judges and the host. Well if the judges and host actually knew anything about the industry and high fashion then they would share this opinion; any opinion on the contrary merely manifests ignorance of the craft.
But still we watch it.
Anyway, something that the show is criticized about is the fact that it doesn't bring anything originally Pinoy to the show; that is, it needs concepts that integrate some Pinoy flavor. Since the show is but a franchise of the great America's Next Top Model, maybe they should just get some of the ideas from ANTM, and add the necessary unique, local twist.

The thing in the air
Concept: The model-wannabes would be dressed like glamorous aliens invading the locals deep into the night (as done in season 1).
The twist: The location will be at some far-flung neighborhood in the most rural communities in the country, otherwise known as a barrio.
You're still in the running if: You're able to maintain a good pose despite the harness, and exude grace despite the discomfort.
The journey ends when: The local residents suddenly come to the shoot with lighted torches on the other hand and sharpened bamboo sticks on the other. To your self you're a model, but to them, you're the aswang.

The underwater
Concept: The girls shall be dressed in flowy couture and shall strike their best poses in water, which is actually a great medium if you know how to work it (as done in season 2).
The twist: It's in Pasig River.
You're still in the running if: You look great, and manage to use the materials readily available as props. Posing with janitor fish over two feet means plus points.
The journey ends when: You emerge from the water looking like one of them humanoids.

The animal
Concept: It simply requires the girls to deliver a beauty shot with some exotic animals that elicit fear or disgust or some form of revulsion (as done in season 1 and 3).
The twist: The creature is the tarsier. Nothing really repulsive about it.
You're still in the running if: You don't get freaked out or disgusted by the little thing.
The journey ends when: The judges can't tell which one is the exotic, endangered specie.

The water spray
Concept: Who looks good while being hit by water from pumps? The pressure causes it to be painful, but the girls have still got to look sexy (as done in season 4).
The twist: The setting shall be at a really in Mendiola. The water shall be coming from the fire trucks meant for crowd dispersal.
You're still in the running if: You look sexy without being too raunchy, and if water splashes on your body well.
The journey ends when: You can't make a good shot. Or when you're taken away by the police.

The bikini in public
Concept: Yes people will be staring, but that's what models should get used to. Minimal clothing at a public place always means maximum exposure (as done in season 1).
The twist: It's in Baywalk.
You're still in the running if: You don't look fat in the pictures and you can give new poses.
The journey ends when: The police arrest you for obscenity. They think you look like one of those cheap starlets from an all-girl aing and dance group!

The run
Concept: Models have to look great even in motion. Pictures will be taken while they're on the move, Balenciaga bag on one hand and the Prada phone on the other (as done in season 5).
The twist: You're in Quiapo and you're running away from robbers who want your bag and your phone. Oh and this is actually happening.
You're still in the running if: They're still chasing you.
The journey ends when: You lose the merchandise you have to model. You'll have to pay for that.

The jewelry beauty shot
Concept: A simple beauty shot with the model-wannabes wearing the most high-end pieces from Jacob the Jeweler (as done in season 1).
The twist: You're in Taft. Now, you'll be doing poses while avoiding snatchers who desperately want your jewels.
You're still in the running if: You're able to exude grace in different poses with the jewelry protected.
The journey ends when: Again, you lose the merchandise you have to model. You'll have to pay for that.

The body paint
Concept: As a model, the girls have to comfortable in their own skin, or even when wearing an something that functions as artificial skin. Paint may be very uncomfortable, but high fashion isn't about comfort (as done in season 2).
The twist: You shall be spray painted to become heroines of the Philippines and displayed along EDSA.
You're still in the running if: You can show different poses with good transitions in between, and in you can hold these poses long enough without stumbling or falling or what have you.
The journey ends when: You get pissed on by a passerby, or when one of your body parts gets stolen, or when the MMDA decides you're an eyesore that has to be demolished.

This list is intended for humor of course. But if the show’s running out of ideas, hey, feel free to take some of mine.
