The show is pretty much a joke if you want to work as a high fashion model - about 80% are too short or too old to work as it is. I think if most of the ANTM contestants walked into a real agency, they would be turned down faster than hell.

What's weird is they why do they keep picking the older girls to compete? They always end up dropping them before the end.
Adrienne was like 20 when she won. I'm not sure how old Yoanna or Eva was. Niama I think was around 20 and I'm pretty sure Nicole is 18. But because of the whole reality show part of it the girls have to be at least 18. If they did younger they would have to pull an AI (American Idol) and have one of the parents living with the girl in the house. Which you know they wouldn't want to do because you might not get all the drama (unless it's a total stage mom living there and encouraging the drama.
)
