America's Next Top Model: Short People Got No Reason
Traffic is a nightmare. Celia's first Go-See thinks she's hot but too old. Allison's first believes she's too shy and her "walk" is atrocious. So true -- absolutely painful to watch! A designer wants Fo to be taller...um...that’ll be tough. Aminat is more suited for a fashion show than a campaign. Teyona keeps jumping around, refusing to wait for another girl to finish and rather than do all her Go-Sees, she decides be on time to meet Paulo.
Paulo isn't there but a helicopter is.
Celia and Fo were late so they are disqualified and don't get to take the helicopter. It's back into a cab for those two. The designers loved everything about Teyona. She wins the challenge AND clothing from each Go-See designer--even if she didn’t meet with all of them.
How did the Go-Sees go?
- Teyona booked 3 out of 3.
- Celia booked 3 out of 4.
- Aminat booked 2 out of 3
- Allison booked 1 out of 4
- Fo booked 0 out of 5
Wow...kind of telling.
The photo shoot for the week involves high fashion swimwear -- and the gorgeous Nigel Barker. Time to throw the inhibitions to the wind and really impress. Nigel is a judge, after all. The suits are so darn tiny that the producers even had to blur out the girl's booties in order to film the shoot. Hey -- this is Puritanical America people!
Nigel is impressed with Aminat. Neither Jay nor Nigel think Fo can pose -- unless she's trying to appear like a creature from "Lord of the Rings." She also gets negatives for not using her extras or her background. Allison uses her full scene and Nigel likes it. He also thinks she's coming out of her little shell. Though he didn't think she has the best bathing suit body, Teyona knows how to move. Celia doesn't connect with the scenery or characters and Nigel had to actually show her what to do. Awkward!
In the end the judges thought it was a real Fo-pah (we couldn’t resist!) that Fo couldn't book a Go-See AND she had a terrible photo shoot. Hard to argue with that logic, but we're sad to see her go. As Fo prepares to split Tyra reminds her to keep the hair short. We couldn't agree more -- she's cute as a little pixie with that do!
So far we've seen models get eliminated for being busty, chubby, awkward and short. But every model who continues in the running has some shortcoming to overcome. Is there anything that prospective models just can't get away with? What do you think? Tell us here!

personally, shortness seems to be the really big thing that automattically rules people out as models. I want to be a model very much but because I am only 4'10" i cannot because they hardly ever want short people. I am sorry but short people can do it just as well if not better than tall people. It isn't fair to condemn the ones who can't help it that they are short. If you ask me that is nothing but stereotyping someone because of their height. height isn't everytihng in the modeling industry and I just wish people had an agency for those who are short. But i can see that isn't going to happen. That, is what I think is the biggest issue when it comes to those who are voted off, unfairly, but i have gotten my say.
