Augh. Still dreading this stupid cycle. I wouldn't mind this "let the short girls try!" mantra so much if they treated it more like they treated plus size contestants. Let 1 or 2 into each cycle... and then bullshit one of them to win ala Whitney C10.

I actually agree with you there. Why not integrate the petite girls with the rest of them? :/

Because they'd get stepped on or stuck in the dryer's lint trap or something.

Don't you mean like Eva (C3)? It's already been done. Because I'm pretty sure Tyra geared her towards winning because she's short and defended short models by repeatedly mentioning Kate Moss.

Sorry, but I *still* don't see Eva as a real model. Or actress for that matter either.

I actually think Eva is kinda pretty. She deserved the win a whole lot more than effing Whitney.

I didn't say Eva was ugly. She is undeniably pretty. However, pretty alone doesn't make a model... as Whitney and Saleisha also prove.

Anyways, for short girls it's all that much harder to get work in modeling. Kate Moss was an exception to the rule, not the rule. They either have to appeal to a lot of photographers and designers or have some sort of fame or be from a rich or prestigious family to get a boost. Eva had neither and far as I can see, she didn't get very far as a model.
