4. The repeated exploitation of the “angry black woman” stereotype.
The show’s producers seemed to love this as a tool for drama, and I have a sneaking feeling that they allowed large personalities through to late stages when their modelling ability probably wasn’t up there; Bianca from Cycle 9; Fatima’s comments to other girls at the Cycle 10 casting; more famously, though, this was seen a lot in Cycle 4 contestants Brandy and Tiffany, both of whom had pretty volatile personalities and were put in stressful situations for entertainment. Tiffany, of course, is infamous to ANTM watchers for making Tyra lose her cool.
