America's Next Top Model Is?



I am shocked and amazed!!! And oddly, it felt right. Anja was horrid in her covergirl pic and her catwalk...this was her competition to loose and she did.

And Whitney rocked it!!!

I can't believe either one of these broads made it to the final 2 falloff I gotta admit toward the end of judging I was slightly rooting for Anja's ugly ass disbelief

Whitney is gorgeous BUT many of her pics were wack imo & her runway walk was too bouncy for me... & did they use enough hair spray on her in the show?? Her hair DID NOT MOVE no no no!

Anja SUCKED on the runway!! & they must have put a metric ton of makeup on her b/c her face didn't horrify me as much as usual during the runway show (unlike that dreadful walk!!).

Honestly, neither was deserving of the title. But this was an awful batch of girls this year (though Fatima was drop dead gorgeous she never really delivered throughout the competition). I really think they caught flack for never letting the "plus size" girls get far (not to mention sabotaging them on shoots) & wanted to make up for it by letting Whitney win. She just wasn't THAT strong, but none of them were really... & they practically did a PSA for plus sized models @ the end, & they all sounded like some fake asses.

This is the first year that I kinda didn't care who won confused I'd have bad things to say either way shrug

Nooooo!!!! I didn't watch it!!!!!

Oh well. I wanted Anja to win. I know her voice was horrible but she took amazing pictures. I liked Whitney but she was soooo staged and phony when she posed. She is gorgeous though.

The first plus size won! Woo hoo!!! She's not that big though.

too many lames this season.


I think they wanted the plus size chick to win to prove some point.


Personally, I think they should do an all-star top model with past folks...I'd love to see Jade and Camille in the same room. lol

Every cycle since Tyra demanded that we kiss her fat ass, I've predicted that the plus-sized girl (fuck the nouveau lingo) will take it. I refrained this time and whadda ya know: the plus-sized girl took it! How do you like them buxom apples?

I'd call this a symbolic victory, but this is ANTM: if it's not symbolic, it's as good as symbolic. However, earlier this week, I received an email from a source that would like to remain nameless (and, clearly, close to my heart) that suggests this victory is super-symbolic The mystery woman writes:

I debated on whether to share this given my source and you may have heard this already...The source is this wonderfully chatty boy in one of my classes...who says he went to high school with Whitney. The claim is that Whitney did not try out for top model but was approached on a plane by someone from the show. She was already doing modeling as a size 2 or 4 but because she was closer to a 4 she was a little too big for the show as a regular model. They told her that if she went and gained 10-20 pounds they would definitely put her on the show as "the plus-size model". She's about a 6 or 8 on the show. He even showed us this picture of her when she was smaller which was from a year ago.

He also said that she was going to make the top 3. That's why I held out from saying anything for 3 weeks. I wasn't sure if anything was credible. But since the "top 3" thing came through...

This email arrived, mind you, before the pre-ANTM shots of a much slimmer Whitney hit ONTD:

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it were true (knowing nothing about women's sizes, I'd guess close to a 4 is about right in those shots). At the very least, the pictures tend to refute Whitney's sob stories (heard most recently in the final moments of the show) about being teased for being curvaceous. Of course, given that it's at least third-hand information,this could merely be one of those things that make you go hmmm.

In any event, none of this is to diminish Whitney's hard work standing around and being fierce. Having the plus-sized girl win is a nice touch, and I'm never mad at a good plot point, no matter how contrived.

It's an interesting idea. If she's that thin in relatively recent pics, it really has more bearing than some pic of a chunky 10-year-old.

A poor crop of girls this year, no doubt.

why? she won as a plus size model...the only reason I address her being chunky as a child is because the author of that article insinuated that she was lying about her ordeal.

take it from someone whose weight fluctuates easily, having a picture of you thin is not proof that someone is manipulating the program.

She's probably someone who goes up and down, maybe she has to bust her ass and starve herself to stay thin.

No it's not. Some people are naturally very thin, others they eat a popsicle and gain 5lbs.

Models are, for the most part, unnaturally thin. Thirty years ago this wasn't the norm.

She was bigger on the show, but not that much bigger. She was thick and beautiful.
