The good news: The reboot of the show is adding Ashley Graham to the cast as a judge.
The bad news: There are no plus-size contestants on this particular season.

A curvy judge but no curvy contestants?," she wrote on her Instagram.
They could’ve also highlighted the struggles that come with being plus."
This isn’t the first time Brooks has spoken up about the lack of visibility for plus-size models.
Earlier this year, she teamed up with Refinery29 and Getty Images forThe 67% Project.
“We are worth these incredible opportunities.
We deserve to be seen,” Brooks continued in her Instagram message.
ANTM has been around since 2003, and there have been a number of plus-size models on the show.
However, there has only been one plus-size winner.
Whitney Thompson took home the title in Cycle 10, which was back in 2008.
“Unfortunately, it didn’t happen for this round, but that’s alright,” Graham toldE!
“Hopefully for season twoI’m looking for the woman who wins to be plus size.
I think it would be so epic.”
We’ll keep our fingers crossed on that one, too.
