Talk:America's Most Smartest Model

message: The person undoing my encyclopedic and valid edit claims the title of the show to be a "pun". Ignoring the fact that a pun is a play on words and is a PUN OF NOTHING, I'll assume you mean the grammar error is intentional. If this is true, it needs to be referenced, as a section explaining the origin of the name. If you can do that, fine. If not, then this stands as a ridiculous error and must be included in the entry. <GeneralKlagg>
:If you consider the logo for the show, the "Most" has been handwritten in and includes a lipstick mark.  They're implying that a model has "corrected" the title.  It's not a pun, but it's a play on the stereotype of the dumb model.  ... discospinster talk 01:37, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The colors are too dark. They can stay the colors they are, but they need to be lightened so that the black text shows up better. Just my honest opinion. —TRAiNER4 (talk • contrib) 14:23, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The show's own website and the interviews contained therein said that they moved in together after the show and even that the network had considered doing a reality show with the two as the stars.  --68.49.60.129 (talk) 17:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

message: This article reads like it is a promotional blurb for the show: "Who will make the callback, and who will be sent packing?". Google has convinced me it isn't copied from somewhere, but it still needs to be change to be encyclopedic. DJ Clayworth (talk) 14:30, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

message: The show provides an environment in  which radical individualism and "win at all costs" behavior is promoted and rewarded. In various clips both Mary Alice Stephenson and Ben Stein overtly emphasize this, and when questioned on it by contestants use their positional power to silence dissent. The design of the show is reminiscent of the worst of John Nash's Game Theory experiments.
The ethics of placing people in situations where cheating and sneakiness are rewarded, and agreeableness and conscientiousness are punished, are perhaps questionable at best, and if taken as a proxy for life within the industry would suggest that people such as Mary Alice should be using their influence and positional power to change that rather than celebrate it or indeed produce a show that in essence a training ground for what amount to sociopathic behavior patterns. From a memetic point of view, Stein and Stephenson are attempting to spread the idea that pure self-interest is the best personal value.
One can perhaps excuse John Nash to some degree since he was suffering paranoid schizophrenia at the time, but one can but question the reason why either Stein or Stephenson thought it good to structure this show as they did.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.29.88.117 (talk) 17:06, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
