I only watched part of one episode this year - and really only stoped on it becuase I noticed one not stick thin competetor. I saw on People that she ended up winning!

The sad part... they are making such a big deal about her being "full-sized" ... she is a size 8-10!!! (Though I had guessed a much higher size standing next to all the other "oh my 00 pants are too big" models.) Size 8's are killer I think...

Anyway... I hate those stick thin models. I watched probably 3 episodes of Top Model ever and whenever I see runway models etc I think... they are really ugly girls. Not pretty faces ... unhealthy hair usually ... It's just that they are super skinny.

    you know whats funny? That her being a plus-size model was all just a publicity stunt. A year before top model, she was as thin as the other girls are. She was asked to gain weight (20lbs I think) and promised the prize in advance because of the stereotypes that top model had (all very skinny girls have won in the past.) I read some articles about it, and saw photots but I can't' seem to find any online now. go figure. Anyway, she was gorgeous and everything... but come on, making someone gain weight to prove a point... kind of lame.
