For the moment let's have this one thread to discuss any of the upcoming contestants.  If one or more of them ends up needing a separate thread, we'll do that later.

 

Up first--This lovely bit about contestant Adam Smith (no, not that one) who is appears to be a homophobe and has been ID'd as the Emory student who committed a hate crime against a gay student in 2010.  It will be interesting to see if Tyra uses this as part of his "story" or glosses it over.  Although the latter seems unlikely to me given this show's support for LGBT people.  Will be interesting.

 

And here's more about Chantelle Young, the contestant with the skin depigmentation condition called "vitiligo."  I think it makes her look like a walking piece of art and can't wait to see how she fares.  But when your real name is "Winnie Harlow" why on earth would you change it to something as bland as "Chantelle Young"?

I agree with this.  I think Tyra will do her darnedest to have a male winner.  The thing is though, none of these guys is all that great.  I don't understand why Tyra couldn't have cast guys that were ideally 6' - 6'2" instead of the likes of Will and Matt who are 6'6" and 6'5" respectively (too tall).  Then you have Denzel who's 5'10" (too short) and Keith who looks like a Tyson-clone.  Adam who can't pose to save his life and Ben who is also hopeless.

If she has to crown a male, I'd settle for Will even though all he'll be good for is niche modeling at best.  I prefer Matt looks-wise but his height would keep him from doing too much work probably and Ben who's about right height-wise just doesn't seem to not always look derpy.
