Note–my recap will be late, but it’s coming!

Full interview below the jump!

You kept saying that you had modelling experience, what were you doing before you tried out for ANTM?

I was working in the Asian market (silence for a long time, lol). Wasn’t busy at the time right before she tried out. She was working as a hostess while she waited for the show to start.

Why did you have to try out for top model if you had all those connections?

To gain experience

It seemed like you were always out to get Fatima.

I wasn’t but she seemed to have it out for some of the girls and I was one of them. It wasn’t as crazy and intense as it was portrayed on the show

Do you feel you were fairly portrayed?

I didn’t watch it for the most part but I did watch myself get eliminated

TVGuide.ca surprised to see her go. What did you think of the makeover you got?

I was happy. My hairstyle before was bland.

Did you get a chance to talk to Elle McPherson? Did she have advice?

She was nurturing and very nice. She told me to be more natural, relaxed and to not overanalyze things.

Fatima made that comment about your butt…Did you talk to your anorexia with the girls?

Yes, off-camera. I wasn’t waving it around but it wasn’t an unknown fact.

What did you see in yourself that you thought was Top Model material?

That’s a good question. I have good height and a good look. Unique enough but marketable and versatile.

Have you maintained the new hairstyle?

I am back to my natural hair color now and I have fringe bangs

What did you learn from your experience on the show?

To be more relaxed and to not overdo it.

Who do you plan on keeping in touch with?

We’ll see. Maybe there will be a reunion. I’d like to keep in touch with as many as possible.

Who would you like to see win?

I would like to see Lauren or Whitney win. Lauren because she is alternative and Whitney because we have yet to see a plus-size girl win.

Want to ask about the doll on the bed incident.

I’m kind of disgusted. It was really immature.

Was there any kind of trigger to make you make those comments?

It was a retaliation because of what Fatima said. I acted on impulse and it was one of those things that you really regret doing and I do.

Do you think being from Wisconsin caused friction?

No, I don’t think so

Who else didn’t you like in the house?

I really don’t dislike anybody. I’m not trying to be fake but the ones I didn’t really care for I’m really indifferent about since I don’t have to see them again.

Do you think Tyra’s critiques were accurate?

The judges have their own opinion and are allowed to pick who they want

Would you do anything different?

I would say thank you. I was so intimidated by being in front of them that I forgot to say that

What’s next?

Right now I’m working on my portfolio and hopefully I will get signed sooner than later.

Do you have a MySpace page?

No, but I’m working on a website right now.

Did you pick up any tips that you are going to take with you?

I think I really overanalyze the entire thing so I’m probably just gonna be more fluid and natural.

What was your favorite part about being on the show?

When they weren’t showing all the drama, we actually had a good time playing charades, popping popcorn and playing with the runway. Marvita did a card game and we used candies instead of chips.

What would you say was your favorite part of the house?

I loved all the pictures on the walls.

What would you like to say to everyone who was a fan and supporter?

I thank you for sticking by me since I know there were times when I was portrayed as not being the nicest person on the show
