I HAVE WATCHED BRITAIN'S MISSING TOP MODEL SINCE IT BEGAN AND I THINK THAT, THE WAY THAT JESSICA AND KELLIE WAS NOT VERY SERIOUS ABOUT THERE DEAF AND I THINK THAT JESSICA IS NOT SERIOUS ABOUT WINNING OR BEING SERIOUS ABOUT THIS COMPETITION.
THE WAY THAT THE LAST THREE CONTEST HAVE BEEN MODELING ARE NOT VERY SERIOUS ABOUT IT APART FROM SOPHIE. I THINK SHE IS GREAT AND I WOULD LOVE HER TO WIN...
I LOVE YOU SOPHIE YOU HAVE A GREAT PERSONALITY AND YOU ARE HE BEST MODEL TO BE THERE.
X!X!X!X!X

This program shows an increasing distinction between visible and invisible disability, with Sophie in particular having strong feelings that the girls with invisible disabilities (Jessica,Kellie and Lilli)being pointless in the context of the competition. To me that showed a lack of understanding of the nature of disability as a whole more than anything else. I find it very hard and somewhat saddening to watch as she seems to have the opinion that if your not in a wheelchair or have a limb missing that you dont have the right to call your self disabled and shouldnt be in the competition.
