Tyra Banks is NOT Oprah Winfrey

Since its inception into daytime talk, The Trya Banks Show has irked me. I've often called Tyra one of my favorite terms, a "waste of space." Not so much a waste of life (like Memphis Bleek, who is a load his mom should've swallowed), but a waste of space. She's the classic outcome of a sad model who can do nothing more than stand sround and look pretty but is trying desperately to prove she's made of more "substance" than her weaves and double-D's. When she created America's Next Top Model to show people the "hard and ugly side of modeling," we empathized with waif-like figures cheating on their boyfriends and plus size girls trying to make their way. When she played her hand at acting in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and "Love Stinks," we didn't quite support it, but we understood. Even her guest appearance on Nick Cannon's Wild N' Out was somewhat successful. Sure, the regular cast is more hilarious and ten times more talented than her, but she tried. We got the memo, Tyra, you're more than just a pretty face. But trying to take on Oprah? Stop it. That's just insane.

Now I'm not hating, she just doesn't have the stuff. Oprah's been on for what, 20+ years? And she's not going anywhere anytime soon. I think she re-signed her contract through 2011 or something. Through her weight gain, weight loss, make ups and break ups with Steadman, middle aged white women have continued to love her and the show's stayed successful. Now I agree that it's time for a new talk show diva to step in, but her name is not Tyra Banks. Think about it, who's tried and failed? Ellen, Rosie, the ladies from The View and even her very own Dr. Phil hasn't been able to touch her. All have futilely attempted to de-throne the billionaire, to no avail. So to think Tyra Banks has a chance is cause for an evaluation.

But here are a few reasons why Tyra's not gonna hack it as the next Harpo.

1. She's a model - Women hate her already for her career and probably won't give her a chance to be anything more than a former VIcky's Secret model who caught a break with a talk show.

2. She's not real - Know when someone tries so hard to prove they're real that it comes off completely fake? Cha-ching, Tyra.

3. She's unrealistic - Wearing fat suit for 10 minutes does not give you insight on obesity. Pretending to be a stripper does not give you insight on stripping (especially since she flaked out on it). Going to jail for the afternoon does NOT a real convict make. Tyra puts herself in these situations to "understand" and "be in their shoes," but she's forgetting the main point: she's doing it by choice and can say "stop" at anytime, the people she wants to "understand" don't have that luxury.

4. The show's not about anyone but Tyra herself. She cried when wearing the fat suit, cried cuz she couldn't bring herself to strip and cried when she spent all of an hour in jail. The people she sets out to empathize with end up comforting her when at the end of the show, she gets to go back to her HOT L.A. loft and get dug out by Chris Webber whenever she feels. Poor Tyra, life's SO rough.

5. She's not very creative. "Today's episode: Tyra's Next Top Foot Model". Nuff said.

So I'm not hating, the above reasons are just a few to show why Tyra Banks is indeed NOT Oprah Winfrey and her biggest guest was Quentin Tarantino.
