Executive producer Ken Mok extinguishes any notion that Top Model's most interesting new development is the still-unresolved behind-the-scenes writers' strike. ''Literally the first hour of the girls showing up in the house, there was some incredible — I guess you would call it strategizing — that went on that freaked a lot of the girls out.'' (Strategizing? On Top Model?!) Mok vows more drama, more wild personalities (plan to see ex-judge Janice Dickinson), and more Tyra Banks, since her talk show was on hiatus while season 7 of Top Model was in production. ''She had a lot more time for us.'' Uh-oh. Looks like the Tyra Mail is getting hand-delivered.
