Will Tyra Banks finally put her money where her mouth is and crown Whitney Thompson America’s Next Top Model first “plus-size” winner? Find out when Anya Kop, Fatima Siad and Whitney compete in their final challenge and the winner is announced on this cycle’s finale of America’s Next Top Model, screening on Friday, March 6th at 7:30pm on 3.

Whitney began her modelling career five years ago; however the aspiring model was unlucky in landing much work. That was until her family and friends convinced the 20-year-old to join the television reality search for aspiring models. Whitney auditioned for America’s Next Top Model and fate stepped in and the model landed a spot in this cycle’s final 14.

Although it hasn’t been an easy road for Whitney prior to joining America’s Next Top Model, the Florida native recently admitted to Reality TV World that things were even more challenging inside the Top Model house.

"I anticipated the worst at every challenge and photo shoot, like when they handed me a size 2 skirt and said 'Put this on' and the stylist was cutting it and sewing it on.  It's embarrassing," reveals Whitney.

"That is difficult, but I anticipated the worst. I was prepared mentally for that. Thank God, because that could really drag you down."

However it wasn’t only the clothes that made the experience difficult for Whitney, there were also issues with her competitors. In fact, she recalls that Stacy Ann called her “fat” and Whitney retorted by saying that she was “phat,” as she described her personality.

"I think the girls were a little jealous that they had to diet and they had to do this work to be super skinny, and I was like 'Well, I don't, and my pictures still came out better than yours.'"

One thing is sure about Whitney - she certainly does not lack confidence, but will that be enough to get her through this week’s cosmetics commercial and print ad? Find out when America’s Next Top Model crowns its next winner on Friday, March 6th at 7:30pm on 3.
