Tyra Banks revealed on her talk show that she's afraid of dolphins. Now I wonder if she's going to add writers to that list. Why? Because the writers of her other show, America's Next Top Model walked off the job for an hour yesterday, and are threatening to strike, if they're not allowed to join the Writer's Guild.This LA Times article details the dispute. Only a few episodes of season seven have been produced, and, considering the CW is kicking off its fall schedule with the show, this might become a big problem for the new network.
I think the interesting part about all this is that it's not even surprising anymore to learn that a reality show has writers. Also, why shouldn't they be in the union? I would think it's harder to make models interesting than to make Jim Belushi funny. Well, maybe that's a bad example.

If the Family Guy writers are Manatees, maybe ANTM's are dolphins and that's where the conflict lies...
