That's probably because most girls with ACTUAL TRUE (notice the emphasis on those words. I don't just mean any randomly pretty girl) high-fashion modeling potential are smart enough to know that ANTM won't do much for their career as models. Sure, you get a contract with Covergirl and an agency, but then that's the last we see of them.
Remember Saleisha? It seemed like she was getting more work before she won ANTM than she is now.
I have a friend who is absolutely gorgeeous... she could easily fit in with the VS models. She said she was going to try out for ANTM, I told her not to. If she's serious about it, she should do it on her own. She'll be more successful.
That's just the way I see it.
And when it comes to Celia, age does play a major factor in modeling if you're just starting out. The biggest name models start out in their teens, not in their mid twenties. Yeah, we have big name models who are even older than her, but they started at a young age, grew into successful models, got big contracts, became spokesmodels for several campaigns, and proved their staying power. Celia is just a beginner on a modeling competition that the fashion industry doesn't seem to take seriously (unless the show pays them)
So yeah, she's a great model but she doesn't have the face that will attract the average customer to buy products.
Sorry for my rabbling brain shart.
