Paulina Porizkova Picks On 'America's Next Top Model'

It never seemed as though the bitter realities of life could hit reality television, but that's been proven wrong when judge Paulina Porizkova was fired from her job on America's Next Top Model. What's worse is that it happened on her birthday, which is certainly enough to make one vengeful. She spoke about her experience on a recent interview with TV Guide, and made headlines for pointing out what she really thought of the girls on the show.

Asked about the Cycle 12 finale, Paulina revealed what really happened. She didn't vote for the latest winner, Teyona Anderson, but for runner-up Allison Harvard. "Well, I'm not going to name names," the former America's Next Top Model judge announced. "But two of us voted for Allison and two of us voted for Teyona and one of us had to cross the line over to the other one."

Even so, the most controversial comment she gave was her reply to the question: Of the three finalists, who do you think is the most likely to have an actual modeling career? Paulina Porizkova went straight out and boldly answered: "None of them."

She followed up her statement and explained, "I'm really very sorry. But they're not models. Look at the history of Top Model. When has a winner not fallen down into that great big hole where the other sock goes? When? That's because you can't pick models from a TV show."

Paulina went on: "Those tall, long giraffe things that don't really look real are rare freaks of nature. And finding a freak of nature with a personality, that's like finding a double freak of nature. So you'd have a TV show once every 10 years."

Even though it sounds like Paulina Porizkova isn't grateful to America's Next Top Model, she clears things up by saying: "I don't think they meant anything ill [by firing] on my birthday. They just didn't check. They're not bad people by any means. None of them. Not Tyra. Not the producers. And I actually had a really good time with Nigel and Ms. Jay and Mr. Jay. It was great. It was a really fun job."

One thing that would make her tasks a lot easier is if host Tyra Banks managed to be punctual during filming. Paulina cited it as a reason why the network cut her and several others from the show. "Actually a lot of my friends from the show got booted, too," she revealed. "Makeup and hair people. And I shouldn't say this because this sounds bitter. But if Tyra came in on time, they would save somebody's salary. If she actually showed up on time for the judgings and they didn't have to pay a lot of overtime, they would save a lot of money."

Regarding her duties on the reality competition, Paulina assures the fans that plenty of guest judges might drop by once in a while. But she won't come back even if they asked her. "I think there's a little too much bad blood. I mean I don't wish them ill. But do I want them to blossom without me? No. I'm not going to lie."

Paulina even thought of giving advice to any aspiring Top Model contestants. "Go to Top Model only if you don't want to be a model," she began. "These girls want to be models so desperately. And the fact is the show is not even looking for fashion models. They're looking for personalities. It's a Cinderella story."
