Some of us have been there with Tyra through every America’s Next Top Model cycle. And at the close of each season, we pat the winner on the back, tell her we look forward to seeing her Cover Girl commercials and purge our memories of the other girls.

Well, Tyra has finally figured out a way to keep us updated on some of the best ex-ANTM competitors. To do this, Tyra has established Modelville, which will be a reality show within her show. Whoa! Did that just blow your mind?

The series will start airing on The Tyra Show today and follow five girls from cycles 8, 9 and 10 with the most memorable Modelville resident being Bianca (cycle 9) of the infamous Nikki Blonsky Family Airport Smackdown episode—and you know she'll bring the dramz.

Only, while we’d like to see how some of the poor girls who had to deal with Tyra’s narcissistic whims are doing, we don’t really want to see a Tyra-produced update that is basically ANTM grad school with the models competing for a beauty contract with Carol’s Daughter.

If only we could get MTV's True Life to dig into the lives of past contestants. Now that would be TV gold.
