Sorry this took so long to post, everyone! This weekend, I chatted with Kara Vincent, the most recent eliminee from America’s Next Top Model. We talked about her favorite photo shoots, her conflict with Nicole and her future plans!
Full Q&A is below the jump!
How did you get involved with Top Model?
I loved the showed and have watched it for a long time. When I heard they were casting girls 5’7″ and under, I really wanted to see if I could do it. I auditioned in Chicago and made it into the house.
What were your favorite and least favorite photo shoots?
My favorite was the baby picture photo shoot. It was the first one and all the girls were there. We could watch everyone else’s performance in the studio and that was a great experience. But all the photo shoots were fun. My least favorite was the ninja warrior shoot. That was not a fun experience at all. The weapons were difficult and confusing and there were so many elements. I couldn’t put it together and was so overwhelmed by the whole thing.
How did you feel about the go-see challenge?
It was fun! I think I did okay. I felt confident throughout the day. I didn’t realize the clients had so many negative things to say about my appearance until I watched the episode. Brittany and I actually did four go-sees and everyone else only did three, so I thought that would help us. But it didn’t.
Do you feel you were portrayed accurately?
I said everything I said and did everything I did, but it wasn’t accurate….no…it’s like, they chose to highlight certain parts of my personality that aren’t necessarily dominant parts and highlight certain things about me that everyone was doing. Everyone was gossipy and everyone was saying things about everyone else, but they really focused on me and what I said about Nicole as opposed to showing a more balanced view of what goes on in the house and who says what.
Were you surprised by your elimination?
Not really. I felt like it was my time to go and I knew I hadn’t performed well during the photo shoot. I was shocked and upset, but it wasn’t surprising. I was hoping it would go another way, but my time had come. When it came down to me and Sundai, I knew it was me. While I think I had some photos that were stronger, her ninja photo was better than mine and that’s what mattered.
Who were you closet to in the house?
Definitely Jen. She was my best friend in the house. I was also close to Sundai, Laura and Lisa. I keep in touch with almost all the girls.
Tell us about your conflict with Nicole.
It wasn’t really a conflict! It’s not like we didn’t get along. She just said a lot of things that were off and we like like “whoa, what?” Plus, it’s a competition and she was doing really well. Of course I want to do better than her! I wasn’t as upset about her winning the go-sees as they showed me. It was just a few comments during confessional. I’m upset I didn’t win, but it’s a competition. Who wouldn’t be?
Are you still planning to pursue modeling?
Yes. Now that the show is over, I’m going to find and agency and see where that takes me. Hopefully the show will give me exposure and I can use that to get some jobs.
Who would you like to see win?
I’m rooting for Jen. She’s got a different look and has what it takes. If Jen doesn’t win, I’d like to see Laura take it. Her personality is wonderful, she’s the sweetest most positive girl you’ll ever meet and her photos are stunning.
