I disagree. I think it's a great picture for a cosmetics ad.

Amanda is too ugly in general. Her eyes are on the side of her head.

I don't care what anyone says, Whitney is FAT. Just because being fat in this country may be "normal" and fat girls have become the norm, doesn't mean that Whitney is this great role model or anything. She needs to lose weight and stop trying to change and industry that doesn't have enough room for her.OK, that pisses me the fuck off. SHE ISN'T GOD DAMNED FAT. If she weighs 130 pounds, I'd be surprised. She's probably right outside of the ideal weight for a woman her size anyway, and I'd challenge you to find a medical professional who would say Fatima's body weight is more ideal than Whitney's. Go. TRY. You aren't find it, because your opinion has no health or science back-up, whatsoever. NONE. Neither I nor Whitney are advocating people being overweight. AT FUCKING ALL. So stop jumping to that GOD DAMNED conclusion. She's advocating not starving yourself to be 100 fucking pounds. Which, unless you're like 5'0? Is unhealthy. |

I agree with most of the posters here- Whitney may not be FAT, but she is overweight. And I don't see how anyone can dispute this, especially with the
knowledge that she gained weight to be a plus size model on the show. If she had to purposefully gain weight, then obviously that weight isn't normal or
healthy for her.
And I think the top half of her Covergirl photo is stunning, but around her mouth bugs the shit out of me. It looks like somebody socked her in the mouth, or she went to the dentist and he numbed her face all up. It looks swollen and distorted from the beauty of the upper face shot. |

Actually, from what I've read, there's not much in the way of health risks for being underweight, provided you're still eating, and stuff. Not
eating is another story. Fatima looks alright to me.
Obiouvsly Whitney would weigh more than 130 since she's a tall girl. (And funny how in all the pics they showed from her childhood, they couldn't find any fat ones, when the poor duzzums was apparently so mercilessly teased?) However, I don't think she's fat. But I do think the whole idea of promoting plus-sized girls as the new "normal", is sorta fucked up. I dunno, there are a lot of normal people who aren't plus sized. And aren't starving themselves. Especially when you get out of North America, like where a lot of the fashion industry is. And they don't get bent out of shape at the idea of thin models (I will say the poster above makes a good point about athletic looking models). imho I think a lot of shit gets thrown at the fashion industry, it's an easy target, when I'm not sure it's the cause of a lot of the problems that it is being accused of. I tend to think body images issues are a lot more complex than that, and that other media and industries are more to blame. In any case, I see more and more plus sized girls every day, wearing low-rise jeans with their guts hanging out that don't seem ashamed of their bodies, so it can't be all bad. |

I think the problem with Whitney is not so much her weight, it's her superior attitude about it that makes us annoyed. If she presented her views on the
modeling industry and larger girls with any kind of modesty and class, I might respect her more. It's this whole, "I'm better than the other
models because I actually eat!" that pisses me off. None of the girls on this cycle except for Allison showed any self-consciousness about their body
types, there certainly didn't appear to be any hint of eating disorders.
Whitney just comes across as such a self-entitled, better than everyone else bitch that in this case, I just can't root for the underdog. In all her confessionals, I can't remember seeing one truly likeable moment with her. And if that full body winner's photo with Tyra is not photo-shopped to make Tyra look much thinner, than Whitney is a REALLY big girl, because she looks like 2 of Tyra, and we all know Tyra is not the skinniest gal. I thing Whitney would fit right in with the cast of Celebrity Fit Club, except for the boobs, I don't think Tocarra was bigger than her??? |

Jocelyn84 wrote:Thank you. That was exactly my problem with her. It really has nothing to do with her weight, but she was just an unlikable bitch and I know we can always blame editing but did she ever say anything interesting other than "I actually like to eat" or different variations of making herself seem so fucking important because she liked to eat. There was nothing inspiring about her whatsoever. I know Tyra wants to send her message and all that shit, but she could have gotten someone definitely more likable and certainly more attractive and INTERESTING. If she wasn't the "plus sized" --excuse me-- "full figured" girl, she would have been booted very early on as that was really the only "interesting" thing about her. |

Well yeah...I agree with that. She is a bitch, a bully at times, and does have severe entitlement issues as a result of her "niche" as a full
figured model. But people were bitching about her weight, so that's what I responded to. :P I mean, I'm not a fan of hers, by no means. I just think
it's utterly ridiculous to call her body type UNHEALTHY, when...it...isn't.

OK, that pisses me the fuck off. SHE ISN'T GOD DAMNED FAT. If she weighs 130 pounds, I'd be surprised...Okay, i'm a GUY and I weigh 125/130, and i'm skinny as fuck. You're saying Whitney's that thin? She's at least 155. |

I can't believe some of you are calling Whitney fat/overweight. If we're comparing her to the average model then HELL YEAH she's obese, however, she's in great shape none the less. |

I still can't believe Whitney won. I guess this season really was that shitty.

SurvivorFanGP, ^ I second that. I'm a woman, 5'6", a size 2-4, and I weigh 122-124. She's at least 155, I can't remember how tall she is,
but I'm sure much taller than me.

Perhaps her BMI is in normal range, but it is in the upper end of normal.

Unless you know the answers to these things, you can't call her "in great shape." She's a bit porky. She's not a goddam Olympic athlete or something. As far as the poster who said Whitney is 130, that is laughable. You must be 250+ to think that Whitney is that thin. I never said Whitney was obese or anything of the sort, but to deny that she is a bit on the chubby side is insane.And of course Fatima has a terrible body too, as far as health goes. That's why I said at the top of the previous page that I'd like to see actually fit and healthy women on runways. |

so Tyra is now promoting the new health crisis in America, being overweight
does she not know that promoting anorexia or bulemia is just as bad as saying "I can eat whatever I want and look good...where are my ribs and fast food?" - hello diabetes and heart attacks/disease oh well, thank god this bullshit body image thing only occurs in America |

The modeling industry, as a whole, doesn't want "fit" body types unless they're modeling for fitness magazines. They want stick-thin, boyish
figures that look emaciated and can fit into an unreasonable size. There are very few famous models with a "fit" body type and most of them are
doing Victoria's Secret ads.
I think Whitney is fine for that size. She isn't fat, she's "soft" and a little flabby. I'm not sure it's any more repulsive than seeing some of these super-thin models who's ribcage is poking through their skin because they weigh 90 pounds. |
