ANTM - Best Cycle to watch?

Season 1 was dull just b/c it was the first and the show was trying to find its way. Season 2 was decent. There were a few good shoots in seasons 3 & 4 (though I didn't agree with who was chosen as season 4 winner). Season 5 sucked. Season 6 was better than 5, but it was still crappy. Season 7 was good and had some great shoots (posing as famous couples). Season 8 had some decent shoots, but I didn't agree with the chosen winner. Season 9 was dull in my opinion (the 2 finalists were dull to me). Season 10 was Whitney. Season 11 was good, but the winner (though she was great in shoots) got on my nerves. Season 12 had Allison (runner up on 12 and 17), and Cycle 13 had some OK shoots (I wish the runner up had won instead). Season 14 was decent but not the best. Season 15 had a shoot where the models dressed up as famous designers such as Vera Wang, Betsy Johnson, and Vivienne Westwood. However, you could tell who was going to be the cycle winner quickly. Finally, cycle 16 had some OK shoots but was boring overall.

I personally believe Cycles 2 through 8 that is when it was at its best, I can not really get into the Cycle 18 there isn't enough drama and a lot of the girls are dull I guess that is why Tyra Banks just fired both J's and Nigel Barker the producers. Must have realized that the show is becoming Uninteresting to the viewers I think that it would be a good idea for Tyra to go over seas and try the series in other countries, even though other countries have their own versions, just a thought

I would say Cycle 3 thru Cycle 10 (The one where Whitney won) every Cycle beyond that has been a bit blah. the shoots were more interesting and Tyra seemed more genuine now she just does overly outrageous stuff for viewership. Seriously a lesson on Booty Tooching can't take this show seriously anymore

I personally like Cycle 8 the best. The show is over-the-top now. Tyra is so narcississtic.
