Q) There was a big argument between most of the girls and Elina and Marjorie. When did the tension begin between the girls begin?

A) I think that there was definitely a divide from the get go. It's like high school, everyone sort of fluctuates to their own cliques or whatever. The division obviously got a lot more noticeable as more girls were cut because it got smaller. So, you got to really get to know each other and every person a little bit more personally. That's when our differences started clashing.

Q) Who are you going to keep in touch with from the show?

A) I have a lot of love for Joslyn, McKey, Isis and Samantha.

Q) Who did you get along with the best on the show and the worst?

A) I don't really have a favorite or a least favorite girl on the show. I think everybody is who they are. In terms of our disagreements, that's the only thing that was shown. But, that's no reason to dislike anybody. If you get along with them, you get along with them. If you don't, you don't.

Q) How did you feel about Mr. Jay's comments about how you posed with the pole on the ship?

A) The photographer was suggesting that I straddle it. He was suggesting that I try different things and I was just really following instructions. So, it came off looking like it was "hootchie," but I was trying to turn it around. I mean, he told me to go straddle the pole. What am I going to say? "Um, No. I don't think that's a good idea?" Mr. Jay didn't like it, but overall (as a model) you need to execute what is needed of you. So, that's what I felt like I was doing and they made it look like it was something else.

Q) What did you think each time the judges kept referring to your poses as "hootchie?"

A) Immediately, my reaction was, "Really?" I was kind of appalled and surprised at the same time. But, once I took a closer look at my progress I was like, "Okay, I understand where it's coming from." I think a part of me, or a component of me, does have a lot of sexual charisma.

Q) What did you learn from your experience on the show?

A) I learned I am definitely a glamour model, hands down. I kind of knew that once I got into the show. Being that Tyra Banks has done Sports Illustrated and stuff, I felt that, "Okay, well, she picked me because I have a good chance in the avenue of a career." In terms of modeling, I'm definitely more for Maxim or a men's magazine, from a marketing standpoint.

Q) What are you going to do now?

A) I definitely see myself in entertainment, in television as a personality, an actress or as a performer overall. I definitely love to entertain. I'm definitely a singer or a dancer, that kind of person. My passion is to be an entertainer, to make people laugh and to make people smile. Those things that uplift the spirit are definitely what I strive for.
