Curvy Gal Wins America’s Next Top Model

with one comment

OK Tyra–

You finally let the “full-figured” gal stay for more than three shoots. Not only that, she actually won! Whitney Thompson, pictured left won the most recent round of America’s Next Top Model.

And as great as I think a non-emaciated girl winning is, I can’t help but suspect it to be a ploy.

As Tyra’s waistline has trimmed, I think Thompson’s win was more crafted than coincidence.

Take for example the small focus group of my buddies and me, none of us watch the show anymore. For a variety of reasons: obnoxious attitudes, scripted results, Tyra’s idiocy; I suspect we’re not the only ones.

Back in 2006 (circa Caridee) the Nielsen ratings were at their highest. This season, ratings are undeniably down. With such facts and figures, I can’t help but speculate that Thompson’s win was scripted before a single photo was ever snapped.

It would be a clever ploy to bring viewers back.

Let’s face it, Tyra always goes on a spiel about how much curvy chicks rule and then plops them in world’s most unflattering outfit next to a broom stick and they have a pose off.

I hate to be a Negative Nancy, but Thompson’s win as the curvy gal was long over-due. Now they just need a lesbian & an asian and ANTM will have met the quota.

See Whitney’s win.

  1. I thought it was hilarious that that woman is always described as plus-sized; she’s not plus-sized, she’s regular sized. And hot.

    PS: bonus points for “Negative Nancy”.
