Maybe this (Teyona winning) is the real reason behind Paulina's firing. Maybe Paulina was the "oddball" who didn't want Teyona to win and she fought for Allison.
I do think you are right though AlphaFrog (as un "PC" as that sounds). Teyona's picture and commercial were far weaker than Allison. If she was "sooooo" strong, she would have been called first but Allison was.
Although, I'm glad to hear that Allison received a contract.
What's sad though is that we rarely see models gracing the covers of magazines anymore, mostly its "stars". Models really only do the shoots for the outfits (that normal people can't afford) inside the mag.
