Rep Power: 0 | | I'm a big fan of ANTM and BNTM and often read up on the online forums about the shows. Obviously a lot of rumors and untruths grace the internet about the contestants, but these photos of Whitney have been posted on numerous sites, and I think you can see it's definitely her. Apparently, she was told that at the size she is in these photos, as a size 4, she was too fat to be a normal model, and either had to lose weight or gain weight and become what is considered 'plus size' if she had any chance of succeeding in the industry.

Rep Power: 30529 | | | She's not a size 8. She wouldn't have qualified to be a plus size model if she had been. Remember last season a plus size model made it quite far, but she more or less got elimated because she lost weight and was then a "normal" size. Plus Size Model is size 12-14 I believe..(or was it 12-16).

Rep Power: 27339 | | | Very interesting about how sizes have changed through the years. Mal thanks for the tip from Gunn's book about taking in the 3 sizes to the dressing room...I will do that next time. It really is weird how a body can range from a 5 to a 12, depending upon the garment and which company makes it. For myself, I think the winning gal looks absolutely lovely, and find it refreshing to see a lady with some meat on her bones in the modeling industry! She certainly looks more "real" than most of the models do.

I remember reading somewhere that the producers of America's Next Top Model told Whitney that if she gained weight and became a plus size that she was guarenteed to win Americas Next Top Model... Who wouldn't take that deal? Especially to boost your career.
Which does make sence, considering all of Tyra's talk shows deal with self image issues and how women of each size are beautiful. Plus, all the crap she's getting for not being as thin as she was before.
However, eventhough they put a plus size label of her, it's false advertizing because her being a plus size model is suppose to make us plus-size gals feel better about ourselves... but I know for sure that once I get to a size 12 or 8 (or even other people) I'm going to be compairing myself to this 'plus size' model and wondering why I dont look like that and feel worse about myself.
That could possibly be why the picture of her in that white toilet paper looking bathing suit of her looks quite fit instead of flabby. I mean, if you are skinny and fit to begin with, wouldn't it be possible for her to gain weight evenly? I mean, that's what body builders do... right?
