"People Got To Learn Nothing About Me" -- An Interview with America's Next Top Model 4's Sarah

RNO: Do you think it was fair that Rebecca got to pick five girls to share in her reward, when some of those that had the best walks weren't rewarded?

Sarah:It was absolutely fair. It's a reality TV show, and they are all about the drama. Progress should be rewarded, I agree, but Rebecca could have chosen any five girls, so I didn't feel bad.

RNO: Knowing what you do now, when it comes to modeling and the industry, do you still have a desire to be involved with it?

Sarah: Absolutely. I moved to NYC from Baltimore a few years ago in order to follow my dream, so my goal is to use the show as a stepping stone into a modeling career.

RNO: What was the reason the judges gave you for your elimination? On TV, it was very unclear as to why you were being let go.

Sarah: They told me it was a confidence issue. I mean, I had a bad walk, that was pretty apparent, but we were getting no feedback. I doubt that Tyra Banks was born onto a runway. She had to practice, and she got feedback. When it came to telling us what was wrong, they had no problem doing it. However, there was no advice on how to get better!

RNO: Was it a shock to you that Brita was the first girl eliminated, especially since Brandy was so hard to work with on the first shoot?

Sarah:Oh, I was shocked! As were most of the other girls. Brita was a beautiful girl, and how Brandy got to stay before her I'll never know. They told Brita she wasn't photogenic, which is crap. I've seen Brita's portfolio and the girl is amazing. Her body is rock solid muscle. Her clothes, makeup and pose in her photograph should all be blamed on the crew. They knew they were setting her up for failure. That girl is VERY photogenic, and to compare to someone as mediocre and bitchy as Brandy is just wrong.

RNO:Who is your pick to win the competition now that you have been eliminated?

Sarah: You know, I have no clue. The judges confuse me all the time with what they are looking for. Brita going home first and me leaving second proves that. I have no clue who will be eliminated next.

RNO: Do you feel that you were edited fairly, or was there another side of Sarah that the viewer didn't get to see?

Sarah: America didn't even really get to know me! I feel like I was only shown for like two seconds. I mean, I can't say that I was edited poorly, but it wasn't accurate either. There is only so much you can show or portray on TV, and I just feel like enough of me wasn't shown.

RNO: What are your plans now? Do you want to continue on the modeling path or are your ready to pursue something new?

Sarah: Well, like I said, I do plan on using the show as a stepping stone. A few people have asked me about acting, and I love being in front of the camera, so I guess we'll see where it all leads to!

RNO:Thanks again, Sarah!
