Top Model Bigger Than Ever?

Tyra Banks
"America's Next Top Model" is huge -- and so are the contestants! The gals of next season's ANTM are not your usual model-size negative 1. Although the girls would definitely not be labeled as plus-sized, insiders say they're far from the stick figures we're used to seeing on the runway. Our source joked that the hair and makeup peeps have their work cut out for them.

It is unclear whether or not it's a strategic move, or if the producers are slightly off in their choices, but we applaud taking the more natural-looking woman and trying to doll her up. On a 'lighter' note, the girls are said to be some of the most humble and grateful girls the show has ever seen. Say it isn't so! Top Model is nothing without the bitchfights!

16. Just stating the probable facts, Jennifer.

17. Some models are just thin and can't gain weight whatever they eat. Most girls trying to be models live on diet coke and cigarettes. They will pay for that later on in life!

18. Well of course they are bigger now. Hasn't anybody noticed that Tyra has put on a few pounds? And I'm sure she dosn't want any of the girls to look better than her.
Or it's a way to show you can be a little heavier and still be gorgeous. I noticed the other day watching her talk show, that when she is sitting shes got a little pudge that hangs over her pants. I still think she looks great.

19. Hey Erika read post #17, Whatever's second sentence. She must be a fatso, too, because she doesn't agree with your line of thinking. Ah yes, Erika, you're always right and everyone else is always wrong. "Cripes!!!"

20. jennifer, reading your posts, you seem so defensive. Nobody called anyone fatso. Everyone has their own "line of thinking" and has a right to post it. Get real. And at any rate, I don't read where "Whatever" is disagreeing with Erika.

21. Yes, dork, a fourteen is average. Look it up. Unless you don't know how to do research. I didn't say if it was big or not, that's personal opinion. So, anyone else care to be an ass?

22. Yeah I'll be one. A 14 is Fat. PERIOD.

23. Janelle #20, (or is it you, Erika, double-posting???) Wouldn't be the first time here at TMZ. Re-read Erika's #11 post, professor. I'm trying to instill a healthy view on eating, exercise and living with my daughters. Too many girls do what poster #17 stated. A size -1 is not normal or healthy in any intelligent person's eyes. Maybe in yours and Erika's.

24. Yay, I'm excited about the "nice and grateful" part because I love ANTM but sometimes it's hard to find more than one or two to LIKE. I bet they edit it to make the contestants seem totally bitchy or totally annoying, but still. A season with semi-curvy, grateful girls would be a pleasure to watch.

25. Good....now maybe they put Trya's head on her REAL body in ads for the Show .

26. okay, anything above a size 6 is considered fat everywhere except America. There is nothing unrealistic about being a size 0, 2 or 4. If you go to any country in Europe [and even in some parts of asia], the standard size for women is size 2, 4 maximum. In America, it's 14. You all must feel so proud! why, you ask? Because people outside of America lead healthy lifestyles. So as a size 2, 5'10", 108 pound European woman who is TOTALLY HEALTHY, I am offended by these comments about skinny being disgusting. If you want disgusting, look in the mirror.

Ciao.

27. What's wrong with skinny women?!

Posted at 9:49PM on Nov 10th 2006 by Bebe

28. The average female size in the U.S. is a 14-16. The average model size is a 0-2. Depending of course on height, neither of those size ranges are healthy. However, at say 5'3'' which is the average height of the American woman, a size 14 would be far healthier than a size 0. I'm pre-med. I'd be far more concerned for a patient at size 0 than I would be at size 14.

29. To Erika and jennifer...

Girls, girls, girls...you're both correct, smart and attractive. Now hows about you strip down to bras and panties and have a tickle fight!

30. A man hasn't lived until he's doing it doggy with a BIG ol' size 14+ girl: it's like driving a steam locomotive.
WHOOWHOO!
Skinny girls are mean spirited and they all want to ride up on top!
