The thing with Heather though, she is a role model to all young women with disabilities.
Jaslene would be "Cover Girl needs to make some inroads in the Latina market." She should not have won and her commercials prove it.

I don't think Heather's pictures are special or pretty at all and I don't believe the judges do either. She keeps winning Cover Girl of the week, for whatever reason, so they're keeping her on. I don't to think she's a "role model" - a role model should be someone who does things WELL, not who just DOES them.

Now if Amanda from season 3 won - I wouldn't have thought at all that it was because of her disability (she was legally blind on her way to being totally blind by age 30) - it was because she took fantastic, kickass pictures. I just simply haven't seen that with Heather.
