The show is actually rigged. Tyra just decided to push a plus sized model through to win the competition. It was evident that Anya had much better Covergirl pictures, but they only decided to choose a mediocre one as her “best” shot. From all of Anya’s past shots and just from watching her pictures being taken, it was evident that Anya would have had a much better shot. They purposely picked bad pictures of both Anya and Fatima (both with their eyes “happening” to look upward). It was just an excuse to get Whitney some recognition. Then for the runway, Anya was forced into skinny little dresses, which would limit her movement on the runway, (similar to Chantal in Cycle 9) and thus would have a weaker runway. Another factor was the photo portfolio comparisons at the end of the episode, which Tyra conveniently chose Whitney’s stronger shots. Whitney had several bad shots throughout the competition, but these were not discussed at the final judging. She was in the bottom two, 4 times, while Anya had never appeared in the final two.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Whitney is very pretty and actually wanted her to win in the beginning, but Anya is much more deserving of the title. Anya too has her flaws, but she would make a much stronger high fashion model than Whitney. Though Whitney’s runway was stronger than Anya’s (given the unfair dress accommodations) she still didn’t fit in with the other models in the show. She was doubtless to say stunning, but she completely clashed with the high fashion image of the show and ultimately of the title of America’s Next Top Model.

hey you, y’know what ur stupid. Ur just jealous cuz u didn’t win yourself. maybe next time go and see actual magazines. Whitney is high fashion, HOE. And secondly, you need to know that ANTM is about IMPROVING and WANTING the title. Back then, I didn’t think some people deserved the title, but they won anyways. SO STFU And go suck it. Whitney is the winner and its not cuz shes plus sized bitch!

And being a size 8 doesn’t make you plus sized. Its normal, HOE! Now SUCK IT! The industry just wants anorexic people these days.

Grow up, M. Seriously. Investigage fashion and the english language before calling people ‘hoe’ (which is a garden impliment) and calling all models anorexic. Genes play a part in weight as well as amount you eat and exercise. It’s called metabolism rate.

And no, Whitney is not ‘high fashion’. She is mainstream through and through. ANTM is about the best model and personality combined, not who ‘wants it the most’. That’s ridiculous. If you’ve watched past seasons girls have wanted it, but because they can’t model they are eliminated. Simple as. You need drive AND talent not just ‘oh I want this but I’m a crap model, pleassseee let me win Tyra!’

I think Whitney was by far the best model. First of all Fatima looked exactly like Iman, who was a model in the early 80’s, and fashion is forward nor backward, second, I think the biggest reason that Anya lost was because of that pidgeon talk from Hawaii(that is what it is called). Her accent was too strong, a Top Model has to represent companies and I’m sure Cover Girl wouldn’t have wanted that (I’m sure they get a say since they are paying someone 100k). Third, Whitney had the best walk, by far, and even Tyra and Paulina said that they had been in shows where they had to where tight dresses but were able to make it work, Anya had NO stage personality on the catwalk. In my opinion, she actually was the worst catwalk finalist in the history of ANTM.
Finally, throughout the show Whitney’s strongest pictures were MUCH stronger than those of Anya. Don’t get me wrong, Anya took some beautiful pic’s, but Whitney’s STRONGEST were much better.

i really wanted fatima to win. i thought she was the prettiest, and overcame a lot. i was really sad when she got kicked off. i thought anya would win after that. I didnt like whitney. she was pretty, but her personality was annoying in my opinion.

For all the people on this forum who just keep badmouthing Whitney, SHUT UP!
I mean, I wanted to Domenique to win, until she got eliminated, so then I went for Anya. But when Whitney won, I didn’t start saying retarded things about her. I mean honestly, do you think Tyra is going to change the result, just because of what some douchebags said on an internet forum?

whitney is a pretty girl. but she desperately needs loose some weights. when Tyra called out her name as a winner, i was so happy but her body is totally not suitable as a model. anyhow, i still proud of whitney that really confidence about herself. i remember at the first episode of ANTM when all the judges interviewed her, she claimed “i got a butt, heaps and boobs” that was really showing her confident. she always thinks she is special and has positive thinking towards herself, those thoughts brought her into an American top model. so good luck Whitney!! and important advice for you, please try to loose weights!!!

Just seen the show in th UK and Whit was by far the best! she isn’t false and says it how it is!!! who wants a model that complains about everything being ‘new to her’ or a model that can not break out of her accent, even when she is ‘acting very poorly’!! Whit,s the best, she showed how much she loved every shoot and opportunity she had and deserved to win. the fact she is plus size is just a bonus. everyone who ‘thinks’ she won just because of her wieght should just get a life and realise that america’s next top model is about being different and bold and likeable. yes, it has been changing the view of what people portray to be ‘high fashion’ it just makes you realise that there are still some narrow minded people that need to realise that the average size (in the uk) is a 12 borderline 14!!! plus size is more frequent than size zero!!! so get over it!!! whit shined through the girls and i’m happy for her and wish her all the best!!!

being plus size myself, i am proud of her acomplisments. she did a wonderful job! i believe that she is not really plus size a plus size is 12 and up (which i am) and that is not what defines who i am. my degree and ambition defines who i am. i put in hard work in what i do and i save lives. so who cares if i am plus size or not “i do what i do and i do it DAMN well” just like whitney and she made it to the top by being ambitious and hard working not to mention pretty hot. thats what i think and for thoes who dont like what i say or agree thats ok that is why it is called a opinion and that is something no one can take away. you are only what you answer to and i answer to Dr. Soliel, M.D.(OB)

you guys are just haters. the show is amazing and isn’t rigged. whitney is plus sized and a spectacular model. she is like one of my heros because she is showing that just because you’re not a size 0 doesn’t mean you can’t make your dreams come true. So you all just chill with the Americas Next Top Model hating. I mean come on you’re being so immature.

Pretty or not pretty, fat or not fat, Whitney was just a typical overconfident bitch. She hardly spoke nicely of anyone. Her shots were never as good as some of the others, and right up until the end no judge but Tyra thought she was all that great. They said she was fake. I believe Tyra did want her to win and hey, shes the boss.
Smells of Scandaleisha to me!!

It’s definitely commendable that Whitney did the whole ‘role model for fat girls’ thing, but the thing that put me off her is her attitude. She was such a bitch, lack of grace etc. I didn’t find her attractive, I thought she was generic (can’t put it nicer?) but I think her personality is what really made her ugly.
