C12第一位go home的賽後訪談 - 超級名模生死鬥

英文好的來翻一翻吧~
我只看我有興趣的部份XDD

How did you get involved with Top Model?

I decided to try by sending in audition video. I tried out for cycle 11 as
well. I got a call back for New York, but I did not make it to semifinals
casting week in Los Angeles. For Cycle 12, I sent in another video and made
it to casting week in Vegas. After waiting a month and half, I got the
midnight phone call! I was very excited! I got to go to Vegas and I got on
the show. I enjoyed the entire process.

原來他也有參加C11徵選

What qualities did you have that made you think you could be a top model?

I felt my personality would be a strength coming into the show. It turns out,
it didn’t help me! I thought being friendly and positive in the entire
competition would help get me through the tough times and emotional part of
show. Plus, I’m tall and attractive, or well, I’ve been told that and I’d
like to think so! I’ve been pursuing modeling since I was fifteen. Having
long legs and a strong, healthy body is a great thing to have. Also necessary
for modeling is a great smile and a great attitude. Had I continued, my
friendliness, easy going attitude and positive outlook would have helped me
get further.


On the show, you were really concerned that the strobe lights would trigger a
seizure. What precautions did you take to make sure that didn’t happen?

Everybody on the cast and crew was aware of my disorder. It’s part of
signing up for the show. A very significant part. You fill out those long,
detailed forms, you can’t hide something like this. At the show, I realized
there were strobe lights and it caught me off guard. I said to a few people,
“There’s strobe lights, I’m nervous. It could cause a seizure.” But I
thought I could handle it. It’s about focusing on the task at hand and not
on my epilepsy. It’s about getting your emotions under control and focusing
on my runway walk. I tried to do the best I could, I tried not focusing on
having a seizure and focus on performance. It was rough, but I did it and I
think I did a good job!


What would you like to say to your fans and supporters?

I really appreciate everyone who supported me! Thank you for believing in me!
I like to think that girls like me can come into competition and pursue their
dreams with all their heart and if they have a kind personality, they can
make it in whatever they do. Thank you, and continue to look for me in the
future. I’m not going anywhere yet.


Tell me about your photo shoot and the judges’ criticism.

I was surprised by the comments at panel. During the photo shoot, I got good
feedback from Jay. He was surprised at how graceful I was. He said he didn’t
expect it, but we didn’t see that on the show. At panel, I went in feeling
fairly confident. I was blindsided by the criticisms, but I took it in
stride. I thought maybe it would be okay. But after criticisms of the other
girls, I knew I was the girl going home. I felt it was obvious before they
judges deliberated. I was disappointed in how it turned out.

看來是有被陰的樣子...不然就是他的認知錯誤@@"


Do you think epilepsy will affect your modeling career?

It could. There are challenges in modeling, like shows with strobe lights. I
don’t want epilepsy to hold me back. I want to take risks and put myself out
there. Epilepsy shouldn’t be a hindrance. I’ve lived with it since I was
fifteen, every day, through all kinds of experiences. As long as I believe
nothing can get in my way, epilepsy won’t change that.


Can you explain the whole Sandra-sleeping incident?

Sandra was a controversial force in the house. I felt she could have handled
herself better. There are ways to assert yourself without yelling. She was
over the top. I hope she’ll learn to bring herself to a lower level and
learn to communicate better. There were times she sought me out as a
companion, as I was so easygoing. I don’t know if she was recruiting me to
her side or what. I always tried to play the neutral ground. I thought I’d
be honest and get her to approach people in a calm manner. Hopefully she’ll
see the error or her ways and learn from it.

Sandra對伊莎貝拉算不錯,他不知道三抓是要拉攏他還是怎樣
總之伊莎貝拉希望三抓可以知道自己的錯誤並從中學習沉著的態度
她覺得Sandra不是很會控制自己的情緒就是了

Where do you see your modeling career going?

Before I got on the show, I did very small stuff here in Virginia. I got my
foot slightly in the door. Now, I hope to start talking to agencies and move
to the city. Now is a good time to take my career to a different place. I’m
going to move to New York, where something is happening and make my presence
known.

她之前在維吉尼亞就有從事模特兒事業
現在他希望可以在紐約找到經紀公司繼續發展下去

What was moving to your loft in New York like?

It was a lot of fun to adjust. The energy in Virginia is different. The city
is fast paced and fun. I don’t think I’ll ever call it home. I love
Virginia and the country. It’s my hometown. New York has a way of life that I
’m not familiar with, but I would love to introduce it as part of who I am.



Which girls in the house did you get along best with? Worst with?

I really clicked with Celia. She’s a sweetheart. At her age, she was one of
the oldest girls and, thus, one of the most mature girls. I think I’m mature
for my age, and that’s why we got along. She’s so sweet and had no problems
with simple conversation. She easy to get along with.

Sandra, obviously, was not the easiest person to get along with. I tried my
hardest, but it was difficult. “I’m not here to make friends” is hard to
hear. Hopefully she learns from this and maybe, one day, we’ll get along
better and be friends.

誰跟伊莎貝拉最好~Celia
雖然他是年紀最大的但也是最成熟的一個
伊莎貝拉認為自己也很成熟所以兩個才會湊在一起

最相處不來的~Sandra
(這段沒啥單字...自己看看唄)
