    That's pretty neat. I think it's good to mix up the competition a little bit.

    That's awesome! I didn't know a full figured gal won last year. Good for her!

    By "full-figured", they mean above a size 4. Here's a picture of the winner:

    ...and she looks pretty normal-sized to me.

    Well she's not a bean pole like the rest. Fox news is already in trouble with GLAAD for a news story they ran on this.

    Really? I'm not surprised. Do you have a link?

    EDIT: Never mind, I found the story on GLAAD's website. Here's the link to Fox's segment for anyone who wants to watch:

    What a disgrace.

    thank God. finally some one who isnt a 6 foot, size 0, epitome of "perfection" is on.

    i am pretty proud and happy about the "plus-size" girl :slight_smile: even though shes a size 10.

    Even though I'm glad a plus-sized girl one, I'm not so happy it was Whitney that won. I watch ANTM religiously and if you followed through the whole cycle, Anya (the runner-up) deserved to win.

    I think it's nice that there's a transgendered girl on the next cycle. She looks really pretty and seems to have a shot at winning from the few photos I've seen of her. What makes me angry is when the Fox broadcaster refers to Isis as a 'he'. She clearly stated to be treated and called a woman, even if she is pre-op. You don't have to agree with her life, but you should at least respect her statements.

    Thing is, Fox has a problem with respect. Just count the number of times Bill O'Reilly has told a black, homosexual, atheist, Muslim, or democrat to shut up. It's ridiculous how slanted the network is. If you're not a white heterosexual Christian male, you might as well not go on Fox News at all.

    fox news really needs to respecr her wishes and call someone the name they wish. we dont call them arrogant, ignorant, racisit, homophobic assholes(to their faces at least), they should at least be able to switch one word.

    actually, they probably wont be able to that, so they should just shut the fuck up.

    hehe...rant.



    shes really pretty. i CANNOT wait

    Her runway walk might kill her (Wiki links to a news article with 2 youtube videos in it, one of which is her on the runway) She snarls at the end, and turns very fast o.o She's gonna get a lot of criticism if she didn't fix it~
