YEAH, I KNOW WHAT I SAID ABOUT 'FAME', BUT THIS IS BETTER: UPN's summer reality series (already renewed for a second season) America's Next Top Model just plain rules. Aspiring beauties without a hint of self-awareness trying to make it in the modeling world. Tyra Banks as an exceptionally smart, insightful and, yes, beautiful host. Bitchy judges. A sighting of "Bachelorettes in Alaska" host Steve Santagati. Competitors doing their best to look like Sarah McLachlan or look and sound like deceased stoner supermodel Gia Carangi.

Watch Tuesday night at 8pm for last week's rerun, then 9pm for the new episode. You'll get to see a devilish challenge up there in difficulty with the infamous Opal Mining quest from Amazing Race 2 -- five mentally challenged contestants having to find five modeling agencies in Paris in five hours, without using taxis, with none of them able to speak French. Hilarity ensues. Do watch.
