Jaslene was a 20-year-old from Chicago when she tried out for America’s Next Top Model. She originally tried out for the seventh Cycle, and made it to the semi-finals, but was cut before she could make it into the house. She returned the following cycle, which proved successful when she was crowned the first Latina winner. Throughout her season, Jaslene took expectational strong photographs, but the judges were concerned about her confidence and her speaking voice. At 5′8′, she is one of the shorter winners of the show.
Here is the video of Jaslene being crowned America’s Next Top Model:

Julie Titus was a 20-year-old student at Bellevue Community College when she tried out for Top Model. She’s originally from Kent, Washington, and can thank her Indian heritage for her exotic good looks. She’s 5′10″ and showed a lot of promise on the show. However, it was quickly revealed that Julie only tried out for Top Model to gain further exposure in the fashion world than to be a model. Her true passion was fashion design and merchandising.
Julie was eliminated in the third episode of the third season.
Here is a video of her elimination:
Jaslene, no question!
Jaslene had the drive and determination. She’s very good at what she does, even if people say she looks tranny-ish.
