I agree completely. Jade performed the best, but for the judges and the show to make a statement about her weight during the final three was stupid.
As I say, I think she was the best model ... but she
was far too thin. Her body didn't often photograph well, unless it was sort of camouflaged. I think they should have rejected her at the beginning on that basis, told her to gain some weight and come back next year. But they shouldn't have let her compete, praised her every week, and then dumped her for being too thin.
Having said all that, I'm glad Mecia beat out Sophie at the end. As much as I abhor Tyra Banks, I do sort of like that they're harsher on the models than the BNTM judges are. I can't help but think that Tyra & Co. would have had a few things to say about Sophie's complexion and all the time/money it would take to retouch all her shots. The girl had the worst crater face! And they probably also would have beaten that awful accent out of Mecia so she could do commercials.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who watched!
