Whitney Thompson Wins ‘America’s Next Top Model’
Whitney Thompson was crowned the winner last night after a face off with Anya on Cycle 10 of America’s Top Model. I think that she was the best of the group this year, and she was a ‘plus size model’ too.
“No matter what, I want to be a role model,” Thompson, 20, told PEOPLE at a New York City viewing of the season finale. “I hear my 13-year-old cousins say, ‘I’m so fat.’ But they’re perfect. They’re beautiful. And they’re too young to think like that.”
But getting to the top wasn’t easy for the confident beauty, who is a size 8 to 10.
“Right before I left for the show, one of my best friends said to me, ‘You’re not going to go that far. You’re fat,’” Thompson told reporters at the event, noting that the two are no longer friends. “Every week I would remember her saying that. And every week I was like, ‘In your face!’”
I’m glad that they finally have someone that looks different being the winner. But, since seeing this article I found a post that says that Whitney’s win might have been fixed. A woman wrote to this blog saying that she had proof that the show was rigged for a plus size model to make it far on the show.
The claim is that Whitney did not try out for top model but was approached on a plane by someone from the show. She was already doing modeling as a size 2 or 4 but because she was closer to a 4 she was a little too big for the show as a regular model. They told her that if she went and gained 10-20 pounds they would definitely put her on the show as “the plus-size model”. She’s about a 6 or 8 on the show. He even showed us this picture of her when she was smaller which was from a year ago.
He also said that she was going to make the top 3. That’s why I held out from saying anything for 3 weeks. I wasn’t sure if anything was credible. But since the “top 3″ thing came through…
Whether it is true or not will never be known but accepting that reality shows may be rigged is a possibility. I think that Whitney deserved it and she was my favorite. Go Whitney go!

wow - if a 6 or 8 is plus sized then I guess I’m SOL!

I really liked Whitney too. Good for her. Still, you have to feel a little sorry for Anya. She was good. I hope she does well for herself.
