Sara Albert was a 22-year-old full scholar at Georgetown University when she was discovered in a mall and asked to be on ANTM. The 6′1″ Californian beauty did very well on the show, consistently bringing in strong picture after strong picture. However, the judges were worried about her height (the typical model is 5′9″-5′11″, but there are exceptions!) and her dedication to the industry. The elephant incident, where she “copied” Joanie’s pose instead of trying her own thing only causes the judges to further question her desire to be a model and her commitment to the industry. In the end, she was sent home because the judges thought the other girls wanted to win more. Since appearing on the show, Sara finished school and has done some work as a model.

Xiomara Frans came into ANTM a junior Olympic fencer and was a finalist in the 1999 Ford Supermodel Search. The 25-year-old from New York initially impressed the judges with her poise and potential, but eventually her weak walk, poor skin and her dead eyes caused the judges to eliminate her in the 5th episode of cycle 2. After the show, she modeled for Hugo Boss, but I don’t know what she is doing now.
