All gender issues aside, does anyone know if there are "personal character" stipulations to apply/appear on the show? What do you think about that? In any other situation, it would be pretty difficult, I imagine, for a former prostitute and a person with a felony to be considered high fashion model material.

Really? I saw that episode when it first aired and I didn't even recognize Isis this time around. I don't know about personal character, but you have to be in "good physical and mental health" whatever that means. I think I saw something about having physical/psychological evaluations before you go on the show. I remember that from Cyle 5 because of how...."special" Lisa was.
I remember her going on the Tyra Show and talking about how much she seemed to drink on the show and she said it was because of anxiety problems and how she was on meds for it. I didn't get why a) she was allowed to be on the show if the problems were that bad and b) why she would drink so much if she was on meds. I understand now that anxiety doesn't exactly equal a "mental problem" but I sure was perplexed about it then.
