I don't understand how they're suddenly going to get a good bunch of girls this season, I mean the people who audition aren't going to change drastically. I think it will be the same type of mediocre models this show has had for the past 14 seasons. Perhaps, the producers are getting models from the top agencies... If they are, the agencies won't give them girls with any real potential.
And, the auditions had already finished before all this Vogue Italia, Meisel and Demarchelier news came out, so, no real models (with the sole intention of the V.I cover) would have auditioned because they didn't know anything about it.
For me, I'm not expecting any thing different on the model side of this show but the all these changes are definetely exciting and I'll be watching this cycle.
