America’s Next Top Model Puts Japanese Game Shows to Shame

America's Next Top Model is no longer about modeling. It is about shaming aspiring models with ridiculous physical challenges. Last night: Walk down a runway with giant swinging pendulums. It's exactly like Japan's MXC, only funnier. Mashup proof inside.

I would say ANTM jumped the shark, but this show actually needs a new term for how irrelevent it is. They pogo stick'd the elusive giant squid.

Next week: the models must crawl through a mud pit filled with scorpions and look fierce while doing it.
