yeah, there were a couple of plus size models in previous seasons too. i was sick in bed all weekend and got sucked into watching a marathon of an older season. a plus size model made it pretty far, but of course she was eliminated eventually. what pissed me off more though was the horrible things the judges and designers said to her and about her. i know it's MODELING, so it is all about looks and it is superficial, but it still bothered me.
