Okay, that seems a little ridiculous. I would say she is at least a solid 25+ over that. Seriously, 130? Are you like 400 pounds or something, that you think Whitney looks like she weighs 130? She must weigh 150ish at least.

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.

It's not like she's gonna be competeing with real models. So she needs to be judge accordingly. I think she is somewhere in the middle so she may even be too small to be plus-size. Just like they said that Fatima as a size zero was too small to be a regular model.

The relevance of either of those criteria to a modeling show eludes me. I want girls who are gorgeous (Whitney is - so is Fatima, but Anya, not so much) or at least really interesting-looking and who can model well (unfortunately, Whitney can't - Anya can, but Fatima's even worse than Whit). By those criteria, Whitney winning isn't such a travesty... This attitude you guys have [I guess] explains why you enjoyed that mushy-faced fugly mouth-breather Natasha. Sorry, but I'd rather see somebody win who actually does a good job...

That's the angle Tyra was going for, at least make it someone INTERESTING or inspiring enough to want to root for. Or did you miss all the "inspirational" talk after Whitney was crowned the winner?

And none of us really think any of these winners will amount to anything. BUT people watching this show outside of Sucksland really do buy into all of Tyra's crap. The only one of these franchises that really IS about finding the next best model is Australia's version. They manage to make an interesting show AND produce models that find success.

We have no control over what they give us (shitty models, shitty photoshoots, etc.). All we can do is evaluate what we see and hear. Given that, and out of the pool of finalists this year, I think Whitney/Fatima/Anya was the right final three and that a decent argument can be made for any of them winning...

Where can I see this pics? I tried looking on the CW site, but had no luck finding them...

All I can think of when I see that photo is horse teeth and schnoz. Nobody said Jenah was fugly, they said it was a bad picture, which I agree it is.

Even with granny hair and horse teeth exposed to the max, she pwned those two who can't take a good picture half the time for shit.
