Okay now don’t get me wrong I love the Tyra Banks Show ((the model Show))... But its seems to me just a couple of months ago Banks put on some extra pounds and started promoting how shall I say more thicker models. However, on this new session of ANTM WHAT HAPPEN TO THE PLUS SIZE MODELS now that her extra weight is gone. Makes me just wanna go hmmmm... So what the real definition of a model... Looks or Size. What do you think? Should a model be “Normal size” a size zero, or any man or women who are 5’8 and higher, you are the judge….

Well, I am a fan of ANTM, but some of the girls they have on there....Well, needless to say, I don't find them to be model material. We see all these girls and just because they are ten pounds, they are considered good enough to be a model. Not so. Don't get me wrong, I think beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, etc. But I think a petite girl who is a size zero looks better than say, a 6 foot girl who starves herself to be a size zero. If it comes natural, that is fine. I think that models should be all sizes, not just limited to the tiny sizes, but unfortunatley, especially with runway, designers only make clothes in the itty-bitty sizes. In the modeling industry, I believe a size 6 is considered plus size! A SIZE 6! That is a far cry from plus size. There is an epidemic of eating disorders and it is because so many girls are always having teeny tiny girls thrown in their faces! As I said, all sizes should be models....It's one thing to see the perfect dress on a so-called "perfect" model body. Then when you put it on your own body, it seems to fall flat.
And as for looks, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I look in magazines and think "Hmmm...shes not much of a looker", yet the next person could think she is absolutely breathtaking. Everyone has a different opinion on beauty. I just don't think that weight should play such a huge role in it.

I just don't think as many "plus size" models tried out. Tyra can't let just anyone be on the show you know. I am plus size, and I think curves are beautiful. People should be working with what they got, and there is this one model on this season that is kinda on the "Plus Side" in Tyra's terms. I don;t think she is trying to discriminate at all. Tyra knows that beauty is in how you carry yourself, but she also knows the rules connected with high fashion. Sometimes, people won't accept a model if they are plus size...it just doesn't work that way.

I think looks are better than size. I know the camera adds on some pounds either way, so being slimmer might be an advantage. But I think if you're unable to pose or walk, no touch-ups are going to help you. Most of the complaints these models get are "your eyes look dead," rather than "your *** is flabby and needed an extra hour of touch-up." How do you think all these old celebrities end up shooting commercials and on ad campaigns? Touch-ups.

Unfortunately in the modeling industry, there are so many definitions of "beauty" it's hard to keep up. I love the show too, but there are inconsistencies. They said no to a girl with a metabolic disorder that made her too skinny, but the girl that won that year was skinnier than anyone I've ever seen on that show before.
Personally, they go harder on the "big girls" for reasons I haven't figured out yet. I still think Tocarra should've won.

A model has to have both looks and the size. High-Fashion fashion designers design their clothes for runway shoes for smaller sized women. Ideally we would all like to see more "average size" models but that is a far way off from catching on.

Stop watching the show and enpowering these people that want to tell us you have to be a certain size or look a certain way to be beautiful or handsome.
It's a good thing we don't rate these people on intelligence as there would be a lot less of them....
