America’s Next Top Model – Cycle 5
I was just trying to get the scoop on America’s Next Top Model – Cycle 5 to win some brownie points with my girlfriend and came across the application, so out of curiosity I was reading the eligibility requirements and was dissappointed to see:
7. You must be at least five feet and seven inches (5′7″) in height
I thought that was a bit discriminating as that would probably rule out the majority of girls, I know I’ve certainly seen girls shorter than that who deserve to be models. 
Although luckily my girlfriend does qualify but I don’t think I’d be able to encourage her to apply even though she really does belong there. 
Unfortunately however, casting is only being conducted during July & August so you are going to have to wait until October some time, which is when the filming starts so it could well be later than that.
