ANTM Cycle 11 Contestants: Isis
August 13, 2008 by Erin Balser
Isis, the 22 year-old transgendered contestant competing in Cycle 11 has already cuased quite an internet buzz! Interestingly, Isis was one of the “homeless” girls in the homeless shoot early on in Cycle 10. Several theories are circulating about this, but Isis did report her occupation as non-profit receptionist. Maybe that’s how she got involved in the show? Via her work?
Regardless, here are two pre-show videos of Isis working it. I think she’s going to be a great contestant and fun to watch.
What do you think? Does Isis have what it takes?
cute until he opens his mouth…yeesh
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! I KNEW I recognized her and her name from somewhere! She was the one people talked about working it!!!! That makes me kinda mad though!
She’s hot! Did someone say she was homeless at one time?
Connection to last cycle + possibility of first ever transgendered top model….
soooo obviously going to win. :/ I hate how predictable this “reality” show has become.
She was on ANTM last season. The show focused on homeless youth. I found this video about it:

The walk is good but those turns are horrible. She’s about to twist her ankle any minute now. My apologies but she does look like a man.
Now I’m like any Isis fan out there, but to be honest, I think she over does it. Because she’s sitting here stomping and like twirling every five seconds. I bet Ms. Jay will freak when he sees her walk.
Waaaay too over the top! Tone it down, girl! All that sashaying and posing made my head spin.
TOTALLY DOESNT LOOK LIKE A GIRL!!!!!!
REALLY3 A DRAG QUEEN!! ARH, REALLY LOOK LIKE A BOY. DO YOU KNOW SAIFUL APEK FROM MALAYSIA, THE FAMOUS COMEDIAN MAN? ISIS TOTALLY LOOK LIKE HIM! OH SOOO JERK SISSY!!!!!!!!!!
No need to shout.
I can’t believe how rude some of these comments are. She is beautiful and so strong. Lots of women are tall, lots of women have low voices, most women do not know how to walk like models. Everyone needs to get over it – especially the person who said she was “mad”. Isis rocks and I hope she blows the rest of the girls out of the water.
isis….hmmm live your dreams!! im also like you, trap in a man’s body… im also dreaming to be a model like you….but girl no matter how harsh the words they throw on to you…stand up and be tough to face them , we have the right to live our dreams……
Is this not a womans competion ? if so last play fair and choose a girl. CATCH THE PASS!!!
no matter what people say or think..just be true to urself…im a sissy too..but not yet a transgender…be urself,be brave…dont care what people say to u coz its not them who raise u up…who cares??..muuuaahhh…x.o.x.o..laja..
Isis is not a girl and should not be on a show for females. Case closed
Perhaps the people saying Isis is not a girl and should not be in this competition should read the eligibility requirements. Nowhere does it say that a ANTM has to be a biological woman. She has every right to be in this competition just as long as she’s FIERCE!!!

Clearly if there was an issue with Isis not being a full woman Tara or any of the Executive producers would have told her better luck else where but it is because she is very Couture and have what it takes to be a model and that is what matters not that she is pre op or a dude or any of that. I think she has style and grace and I like about 5 of the girls and understand that Isis is as good as any of them.
I feel that it is wrong for Tyra to try to exploit a person for ratings. I feel that is what all of this is about.
America’s Next Top Model…where does that say female only…jus to think abt it….
She/he is alredi on d show…
so do ur thing girl!!!
look yall need to quit being so mean. i thing isis looks more beautiful then some real women. i have seen real women who look like men and wish they looked liked her so stop hateing.also it not her fault that she had a hormonal imbalance, if she was ment to be a girl then let her be it no different then someone one being born with an extra arm, leg, or finger. some people just have extra things that doknt belong and isis is one of them. LOVE YOU GIRL
Isis SHOULD be on this show. Who ever said that ANTM was a woman’s show? She IS a woman anyway, just because she was born as a male doesn’t mean she IS a male. Sexual identity is just that AN IDENTITY. Just because opening it up to transgender scares y’all because it gives more competition doesn’t mean that she shouldn’t be there. She should be judged just like any other girl in the competition. Work it Isis, you have more talent than all of the Clark’s and Sharaun’s in this world.
I think Isis looks like a girl, acts like a girl, therefore is a girl. Good luck Isis.
I am all for the ability for TG/TV etc people to get their fair opportunity at jobs, etc., but having him on a show for female models (doesn’t have to be in the name for it to be a fact) is a pure and simple ratings grab. It’s even worse than the conflict they introduce each year with the models with little talent but lots of attitude.
He won’t win, and if he does, CoverGirl won’t use him as a spokesman.
isis=ratings it won’t win but it’ll most likely be part of the show quite some time
what happens when there is a nude shoot? EEEWWWWWWWW!!! THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK OUT!!! he is NOT a girl!!!
Who cares if there´s a nude shoot? Isis is skinny and breastless enough as any editorial model.
I do think, objectively, that her body is not curvaceous enough to be a model though. But we’ll have to see how she can pull it off. Who knows and maybe she’s as good as it´s expected of her.
(I support her though, very honest and brave).
By the way, if the fashion industry is always looking for something unique and mold breaking, well… Isis is pretty much it, isn´t she?
(And she reminded me of Jaslene Gonzalez. Maybe that´s why she´s grown on me jejeje).
ISIS, ISIS, ISIS! YOU GO BABY! MAYBE FOLKS WANT YOU TO PUT ON SOME HATER BLOCKERS, AND SOME GOLD GRILL LIKE CREEPA DID. OH MY BAD THAT’S RIGHT… THEY CHANGE THAT GOON INTO A GENTLEMAN. SO YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD AND BE AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL! LAND OF THE FREE DARLING!
First of all ISIS IS a woman NOT a man. Nothing about her is male (except for that little bit extra).
Transgender means even though you are born physically one gender but the mind is totally another. it is to do with a the wrong amount of hormones in the womb. it is not something that can be chosen but just “happens” do you honestly think trans people choose to be so? dont you think they would rather have their gender in sync with both the mind and body?
all those of you referring to Isis as HE, Man, It are just being very insulting Isis is a SHE, a WOMAN. which also means that Isis has all the rights to participate in AMNT as all those other girls. Go Isis WOOOO
first of all, i think its rude to use “he/him”. (woops, lena just sad that… kudos lena!)
second of all, she’s hotter than i am so stop being jealous and get over this “tyra’s doing it for ratings” thing.
when will all learn to stop being so judgemental.
I loved you on the show Isis!!! You were fierce, i just hate that you let your features become a hinderance..I will miss u so much, and I hope you continue doing runway and doing more work!! Kisses!
I was upset when ISIS got sent home — when she was an extra on last season she was a force to be reckon with but we all have to remember that the world didn’t know her secret but now that she is in the spotlight and everyone knows i think she let her nerves get in the way — i really wish she could have went farther — but anyway do you ISIS and good luck
Haha ruth, in your face. This cycle is a little more then you’ve expected…
To the poster who referred to her as a him that’s extremly offensive to all trans and gender queers who looked up to Isis in this show.
It’s just airing in Australia at the moment on Fox8 and personally I think it’s a wonderful step forward, although I know she doesn’t win I think it’s a massive step forward
