Janice Dickinson Returns

Tonight marked the kick-off of another season of The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency on Oxygen. After what seemed like seven hours of recap, the show began in much the same way as it had in the first season, with Janice holding open calls and looking for models. The only person of note that showed up was JP from the most recent season of Survivor. Apparently he’s interested in becoming a model and he stripped down to his little underwear and struck a few poses for the cameras.

Aside from that, there really isn’t really anything new about the new season of the show. Janice berated the model hopefuls, just like last time, and bickered with her business partner, just like last time. She also went into detail about the difference between commercial models and high fashion models, just like last time. The whole thing felt a bit like a flashback.

Later on, a few of Janice’s models walked in a fashion show for designer Alan Del Rosario during LA’s fashion week. The folks at the agency were stunned and horrified when one of the models failed to show up at the show, but they were pleasantly surprised when Nyabel, a model from Sudan, rocked the house and exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Janice is still delightfully dramatic and the show provides a fun alternative to the Tyra-centric America’s Next Top Model, but the format is still too similar to the last season. They’ve done nothing to raise the stakes for the new run of episodes. Anyone who missed the first season of the show should enjoy this new season because it’ll catch you up on the entire Janice Dickinson saga thus far. It’s still definitely worth watching-where else are you going to see Janice trying to out shout an irate model during an open call?-but you won’t be crushed if you miss a few episodes.
