Whitney Wins America's Next Top Model

Wednesday May 14, 2008

It's a Top Model first.  A "plus sized" model is the season's big winner! 

Whitney, a 20-year-old student from Atlantic Beach, Florida, topped finalists Fatima and Anya during a TV commercial challenge and high-fashion runway show.

"You're the first girl with some booty to win America's Next Top Model," Tyra told Whitney (who we still can't believe is considered plus sized, but whatev!).

Check out Whitney's Top Model photos here.  And here's a recap of the finale showdown.

(1) It Was Rigged says:

Q: How can someone who was criticized repeatedly by judges and guest judges alike, who never took a great, let alone good, photo, who won only a single challenge, who came in bottom two what must be a record FOUR times be declared the winner over a girl who won multiple challenges, was selected first several times, was praised highly by both judges and guest judges alike, and basically dominated the competition?

A: America’s Next Top is as fake as Whitney!

I had my doubts. I said even if Whitney was in the top two surely they would give it to Anya and or Fatima…but I stuck my foot in my mouth(literally) when she was announced the winner. I cant say why Whitney won although she is worthy of being named ANTM. Then I got to thinking about the bookings she will actually get…but I told myself I was being close minded. I wish her well in the industry.
