I finally got to watch last week's episode of "America's Next Top Model" (for pleasure!), and was sorry to see street preacher London go -- she of the "permanently smiling eyes" that Tyra was so impressed by. Poor London put on 10-15 pounds over the course of the competition, but trusted her physique to God: "He's definitely testing me," she said.
Of course weight is a huge consideration in the modeling industry, but on "ANTM" they often tiptoe around the topic, and even let a plus-size model win (Whitney Thompson, Cycle 10). Sorry, but it felt like tokenism to me.
Considering that Tyra's weight fluctuates famously, what did you think of the way the London's weight gain was handled?
