America's Next Top Modeller

New over the top American based reality TV series, hosted by hip Afro American statistician, Defawn Nosurname.

Each week, American statisticians are put to the test by competing in a variety of modelling tasks under extreme conditions. Week 1 sees the contestants perform a simple linear regression...whilst being held at gunpoint by the Chinese triad.

Performances are then judged by a panel, fronted by notorious British Statistician, Dr Ryan Biley. The contestants are eliminated each week, where they fear the following elimination phrase,

(Insert Contestant's Ridiculous name), I'm afraid we're going to have to reject your null hypothesis.


Statistics doesn't get tougher than this!

Lord of the Flies parody ensues as each PhD room turns tribal and must fend for themselves. And of course, there's the ongoing fear of the mythical departmental beast....
