“The Whitney and Fatima Show” – An Interview with America’s Next Top Model 10’s Katarzyna

Katarzyna: The funny thing is that I saw the whole thing with Fatima talking about me, and it’s just weird that they always showed whatever she or Whitney had to say. I’ve read post-show interviews with Lauren, Claire, Marvita, and Amis, and they all said they found me funny and thought I had a personality. I didn’t hang out with Fatima, since I wasn’t her friend, so she didn’t even get to know me, and that’s what irritated me about the comment she made with me not having any personality.

RNO: In your opinion, is this a fair competition where the girls are evaluated each week, or do you think the judges have a pretty good idea on who is going home each time?

Katarzyna: I really can’t say. I think the judges have their favorites, but I don’t think I could ever… ever since Claire went home, I could never predict who was going. It was a shock to me that she went home so early, while other girls got to stick around.

RNO: What did you think was your biggest strength in the competition and what was your biggest weakness?

Katarzyna: The week I won the challenge for runway – I guess that was my biggest strength. I loved doing runway. My weakness was that… well, I mean, I thought I had personality, but I don’t think it showed on TV. I don’t think it was anything against me, and the more I watch the show, the more I think this season should have been called The Fatima and Whitney Show. We all did the same interviews, but they always showed the two of them in the confessional. They were being shown more than everyone else, despite the fact that we all did the same interviews.

RNO: Looking back, is there anything you regret, or is there anything you could have done differently to stick around longer?

Katarzyna: The only think that I would have liked to change was to let us see all our photos from each shoot. Not so much to see if they are really picking the best photo, but so that we can learn what works for our bodies, what doesn’t work, and just get more experience. We only got to see one photo, and that was it.

RNO: If you had to make a prediction on the final four, who do you think is going next and who has the best chances of winning?

Katarzyna: I think Anya has the best chance of winning because she has done great and has been very consistent. When you watch her, she’s a natural and has a lot of talent. Dominique has talent, too. Either Fatima or Whitney should be eliminated next.

RNO: Now that things have been said and done, do you still plan on continuing to pursue a career in modeling?

Katarzyna: Definitely. I mean, from what you could see, I wasn’t the crazy girl or the girl that started drama. I wasn’t there to be on a reality show – I was there to model. I don’t know what the motives were of the other girls, and some really did want to become models, but everyone was there for their own reasons.

RNO: So what are your immediate plans? Do you have anything in the works or is there anywhere we can expect to see you in the near future?

Katarzyna: I don’t have a website, but you might be able to find me on Facebook soon. I’m going back to New York City shortly, and hopefully I’ll be able to get signed with an agency, and then take it from there!

RNO: Is there anything you would like to add or say to fans of the show?

Katarzyna: Looking at the CW website, there are a lot of people that have shown so much support for me, even though I wasn’t the crazy girl! They supported me, and I appreciate it! To go from nobody really knowing anything about you to being in your corner is a great thing, and it meant so much to get that support.

RNO: Thanks, Katarzyna!
