Mary auditioned again this season. She was Tocarra's "rival" for the plus-sized model spot last season. Mary was hoping that both of them would be selected so that they could have a competition within the competiton. However, she was cut and Tocarra was kept. Mary was cut again this year because they didn't want to do the plus-sized model thing again.
In a way, I can understand because they are not on the same playing field as the other models. Tocarra was clearly at a disadvantage during some competitons because of the lack of clothing in her size. Then, with some of the comments made by the designers, Tocarra's spirit was broken. By not picking any plus-sized models, that particular model won't have to suffer through the drama.
