well i still think girls who look like models who can't model are > girls who can model but don't look like models
or in Tyra's words nouns > verbs... Kendall > Chris.
I think Kendall possibly could have worked it out with some more coaching, but in all honestly she got kicked out for being unable to portray a 60 year old asian woman.
I disagree. Raquel Zimmerman did not stand out when she first started, she wasn't as beautiful as a lot of other top models (or even Brazilian models, compare her to Isabeli) but she could MODEL. That's how she went so far to being the #1 model in the world, not just based upon her looks alone.
Now... Kendal vs. Chris, well yeah... I'd rather have a beautiful mediocre model over a regular slightly above mediocre model...
