Unbelievably, the plus-size girl won “America’s Next Top Model.” Even more unbelievably, winner Whitney Cunningham is “plus size” at size 10! As Tyra Banks told “Miss J.” earlier in the episode, “She’s not big. Only in modeling is she big. On the street, she’s just a hot girl.”
Actually, the most damning slam against Whitney (who’s from West Palm Beach, Fla.) throughout was that she was, if possible, too pretty — and too “pageanty.” The judges often told her she came off as fake, but they were easier on some of the other women who seemed equally fake to me, especially when trying (and failing) to act. But two things made Whitney the winner (in addition to the fact that Tyra Banks is worried about eating disorders in too-skinny models): She peaked at the right time, taking direction well and improving, and the sponsor is Cover Girl. If I’ve ever seen a Cover Girl model, it’s Whitney. I was pretty sure she had it in the bag as soon as Fatima, who seemed to have been anointed the winner early on despite being really, really annoying, was eliminated third from last.
I liked the way judge Paulina Porizkova summed Whitney up: ”This should not be called plus size or full-figured. This should just be called beautiful.”
