The show is pretty much a joke if you want to work as a high fashion model - about 80% are too short or too old to work as it is. I think if most of the ANTM contestants walked into a real agency, they would be turned down faster than hell.

I am not sure if the actual intent is to create high fashion models -- but I also don't think the show makes it clear. They should, because there's no shame in commercial/catalog work. It pays bills.
