Skinny Versus Curvy Battle Time! America’s Next Top Model Winners: Jaslene Gonzales or Whitney Thompson?
If you are not familiar with these two faces, then here’s the news: the left one is the skinniest girl that ever won America’s Next Top Model and the right one is the curviest one to take home the same title. Just how different are they? For starters, Jaslene is a US size 0 (even though she usually looks looks like a 00) and the recent winner, Whitney, is a US size 10 and sometimes an 8.
In addition, Jaslene’s 110 lbs and 5′8” height reflect a BMI of 16.7, which is substantially below the healthy range that begins with a BMI of 18.5 and ends with 24.9. Whitney’s stats? Being around 165 lbs and 5′10”, Whitney’s BMI is 23.7. However, Whitney is the (wrongly) called plus size model or the full figured one, while Jaslene represents the stereotypical model figure.
Now would be the right time to ask you: Which one do you prefer: the skinny Jaslene Gonzales or the curvy Whitney Thompson?, but let’s be more serious for a change and think about a few things before choosing sides. Facts are that while one girl clearly looks and is emaciated and underweight, the other is a healthy and average-sized girl. Moreover, since when did “average” and “plus size” become such compatible terms? Since when is “healthy” understood as “full figured”?

Sorry, but that Whitney girl doesn’t have it - for a modelling career, I mean. Sure, she might be attractive in bed or on the street. As for the skinny one, not attractive on the runway, bed, street… wherever. She looks like a dude.

I think both of these girls are beautiful in different ways. I think it’s about time ANTM has awarded a “Full Figured” model the title. Althought she’s not the least bit “Full Figured”, Whitney is beautiful and Jaslene is beautiful, I just wish people would stop saying Whitney is fat and the show was rigged, can’t people just accept the fact that someone besides a size 0 or someone that has the body of a little boy could win. Good Luck Whitney!

Just goes to show you how distorted the American public has become. We used to idolize women who looked like Whitney, now we idolize unheathly skinniest women. As for the girl on the right, she looks like she belongs in a coffin. I cannot for the life of me figure out how this looks good, and then to be proud of it! American fashion industry needs an enema!

Whitney looks pretty but they had obviously planned that she would win before the season even started, just as a publicity stunt.

I definitely prefer Whitney and her body type. It’s much more attractive than Jaslene’s.

damn, that Whitney is incredibly beautiful. she looks like a juicy, plump woman, I bet she is very sensual…

Whitney was my vote for this last season from day one. I think she is beautiful and it is ridiculous that people can say that a size 8-10 is plus size. That is what most women wear!! The modeling industry needs to change…it is making young girls minds warped. Jaslene is not someone I find remotely pretty and I would much rather look like Whitney!

Actually, Whitney has said (on the show & in Seventeen magazine) that she is a size 12, not 8-10.
I don’t find either extremely attractive, and although Whitney does have a way prettier face, I don’t think she’s cut out to be a model, at least not high-fashion. She’s got more of a girl-next-door vibe.

its crazy, but whitney gotta lose weight and jaslene gotta gain some. i dont think its healthy to be any of them. but who is hotter??? hmm, definately jaslene. she has sex appeal, drive and that mystery, while whitney holds her weight as her only achievement and talent.
