There is clearly a new trend in reality television these days. First, it was Diddy's suspicious reality star "Laverne Cox", and now this? Yesterday I revealed the new line-up of ANTM hopefuls. One in particular (Isis, who is pictured above to the left) is one of the lovely "ladies" that hails from New York. According to a report by Us Magazine, Isis is a trans-gendered contestant who was born a male. When asked Isis had the following to say:
Isis, 22, told Us magazine she is "a woman born physically male."
"My cards were dealt differently," said Isis, who works as a program assistant at a nonprofit organization.
As for being a role model, she said, "I like to help people, but I'm here to follow my dreams."
Hmmmm, interesting. I wonder if anyone out there in web-land has an opinion on this new trend. Is this the wave of the future, or merely a cheap shot at ratings?
I think its ratings, b/c looka t where they are popping up? On cheesy ratings driven shows. They are cast in environments where ppl can judge them. We have yet to see what will happen, but for their sake, I hope they take this opportuity seriously and don't eff up.
