Q) Do you feel you were portrayed accurately on the show?

A) I'm a confident girl, not cocky thought. A lot of people will mistake confidence with cockiness, unfortunately. It's almost looked down upon when someone knows that they're good at it and I know the parts I'm not good at and that's just constructive criticism on myself.

Q) Why were you shocked by your elimination?

A) Having the best photo the previous week kind of gives you an immunity, which obviously was completely wrong. I mean, I kind of felt safe. I was really confused about my elimination because when we were in the bottom two Tyra [Banks] said Joslyn started off really strong and had become weaker and weaker. I was the opposite. I started out weak and got really, really strong. I mean for Pete's sake, I had the number one photo last week. So, I really didn't expect to be eliminated. You know, you think that in the competitions the judges are looking for advancing and just getting better and better and keep on progressing and that's what I was doing.

Q) Do you regret anything you said about Isis?

A) Everyone was thinking it. Everybody was uncomfortable with it, but no one was actually going to say it because it's too politically incorrect. But, you know what? I didn't care. It's how you feel and that was weird to me so I said it. Isis and I got along, other than the fact that I was really uncomfortable with the fact that Isis is a boy. I'm just not used to that. I've only heard of people like that in my psychology class in case studies and stuff. I never thought that I would ever come into contact with a "he-she" and it just totally threw me for a loop. It, I don't know, freaked me out. I mean, there were a lot of mornings I would shower and would be throwing something away (like a tissue or whatever) and there would be a roll of like balled up duct tape in the trash can. It just creeped me out. I, honestly, don't see Isis going anywhere in modeling. It's not just because of her condition. She just...her body just isn't like the rest of ours. Isis still has a man's body. A woman's waist contours in while Isis' is manly and just goes straight down.

Q) What did you write in the letter you left for the other models?

A) I told everybody to have no regrets and to just go for it, especially for Marjorie because she was being very hesitant about everything. I wrote a little not to every girl. I told Lauren Brie, "You're my best friend here. I can't wait for us to hang out after this." I wrote everybody something except for Sheena because I had nothing to say to her. I don't really care for Sheena. Everything that they portrayed her on TV to be is exactly right, trashy. SHe's got words of wisdom, but that's about the only thing going for her. I think we were both raised completely differently. I'm a gold ol' Southern girl that knows class and she is probably the most classless girl of the bunch. She is probably one of the least classy people I've ever met in my life.

Q) Who would you like to see win the competition?

A) She's an amazingly cute girl and she's got one of the best pictures in "Top Model" history. I think she's going to be great.

Q) What did you think of Elina's crush on you?

A) I was like oh really? Seriously? That's kind of weird. But, it was so funny! After I found out, it was like a joke for everybody. When ever we would sit down coming to or going from some place on the bus. It was like, "Uh oh, everybody clear a spot beside Elina, Clark wants to sit there." It was just kind of like a big joke between us.
