Iconic shows of the early 2000s?
“America’s Next Top Model” should be your answer.
That’s not to say, however, that this reality TV show was without its faults.

A former contestant, Sarah Hartshorne, revealed a behind-the-scenes secret of “ANTM” in aTikTok.
Sorry for fans, but the elimination isn’t as easy as shown on the TV screen.
“The actual judging took a lot longer than I thought,” Sarah said in the TikTok.

“Each girl gets about 20 to 30 minutes of pretty intense feedback on their looks.”
And, that’s not the worst of it.
Girls also fainted yes, fainted during the elimination rounds, Sarah revealed.
“I fainted that first week.
That very first week.”
The fainting spells are probably why there was a therapist on call during elimination rounds (via ScreenRant).
So, nothing is exactly accurate or true on the show.
“The environment is very stressful.
“They sleep deprive you so much that you are very wound up.
That’s why everyone cries and catfights all the time.”
And, what better way to revisit the 2000s than by watching its reruns.
