Latest evidence: Last night’s episode of America’s Next Top Model, which featured the four remaining models on the second week of their visit to South Africa.

The highlight: The girls’ diplomat-guided tour of a prison, where one lucky model was given the key to unlock the ACTUAL CELL that held Nelson Mandela for most of his adult life.

Even better, while in the cell, the models got into an argument, which carried on for the rest of the episode, with Nelson Mandela’s jail cell cast a key point of reference in the endless whine-battles, i.e. “Yeah, but when we were in Nelson Mandela’s jail cell, you called me fat!”
