My only beef with this show is that in alot of ways, it's not representative of what the world of modeling is really like. SOME (not all) of the contestants are considerably older, shorter, etc, than what an agency might look for in a RUNWAY model. The average "in demand" runway model is 5'11 and 16-18. Some of the girls this season are 25 and like 5'8. For a model, 25 is ancient (of course there are a FEW exceptions) and 5'8 is a dwarf.

I do like Kari though. She reminds me of Kate Moss. She has a GREAT face that might make judges overlook her lack of height. Kate Moss' face was what launched her career. She was short, for a model, but she was so beautiful, agencies took a gamble.
Maybe they should rename the show "America's Top Catalog Model" or "America's Top Fit Model," since the girls are, as you said, "older" and "shorter."
