Whether you were there for it as it first aired…

*raises hand*

Or were made aware of it via social media…

The reaction after watching this documentary could be surmised with…

Welp, that didn’t age well!

The Netflix documentary Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model takes us back to the nostalgic reality show era of the early aughts. Where pretty much everything you see would never make it to the airwaves today.

Having said that, you have to wonder… is it better now or just a different kind of bad?

*contemplates*

What I found noteworthy, was regardless how the storylines aged like sour milk, the auras transcend time. Energetic themes showcasing how egos hijack, how energy moves to survive and how empath emotions are framed as weakness were as prevalent then as they are today.

Let’s look at 5 of the most shocking revelations of this documentary, in aura color!

#5 Tyra Banks Froze Out Jay Manuel When He Wanted to Leave the Show

Tyra Banks has a red and purple aura.

Jay Manuel has a purple and blue aura.

I suppose we must start with my favorite saying ever…

Auras are not intentions, but they can explain behavior!

Because let’s be honest here… no one’s intentions in the production of this show seem to be squeaky clean and that’s not really aura related. Auras explain how someone carries out their intentions, but intentions are always our own.
