5. An openly islamophobic, homophobic and racist contestant was given airtime in Cycle 6.
Boy, were we in for a treat with wannabe Cycle 6 model Dani. Her audition tape was all we really needed to see. It started off fine, if annoying – “I cheer at football games, I have so many friends,” she gushed. Then, she made a comment about her casting that was “95% black girls, I didn’t realise it was gonna be like that.” Warning signs began to flash. Oh boy, it gets worse. “I am the most uber conservative, republican, hard core baptist you could ever imagine in your whole life. I don’t like gay people, I don’t like muslims. I don’t like anything liberal. But other than that, I really like to get along with people.” Yes, she said that. She then goes on and on about how affirmative action is “the biggest load of crap she’s heard in her whole life.” Thank god she didn’t hang around for long.
