She's Got the Look Models

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since my friend sent me a link to the TV Land website and told me to apply for She's Got the Look. Now it's your turn.

From the first audition to the final episode of She's Got the Look it was very intense. My emotions were like a roller coaster. There were times when I felt so confident that I had what it took to win the title to moments when I would question whether or not the judges noticed my beauty. The judges challenged us in every aspect to see if we could take direction and criticism -- and ultimately win.

I know that the final decision was a tough call to make for the judges, but I'm so glad I was the last person standing. I can vividly remember when supermodel Kim Alexis announced, "TANYA, YOU'VE GOT THE LOOK!" I was exhausted and elated all at the same time. It's a moment when all the wrong I had done was now made right. It didn't matter that I never won a "leg up challenge," it didn't matter that my nude photo shoot looked horrible or that my acting skills left a little to be desired. All that mattered to me at that moment was that I had taken a chance -- and the odds worked in my favor!

The most intriguing part about the show is the suspense of not knowing what's going to happen next. Everything was kept a secret and the contestants were constantly guessing as to what would unfold next. There is lots of suspense and drama each step of the way. Celebrity guests magically appear and share a beauty tip or challenge the models in the competition.

I went from dreading the elimination process to wishing it would never end. The competition became a game and the object was to be the last person standing and be the final face on the She's Got the Look Model Board.

I'm so glad that I took the time to fill out the questionnaire, submit photos and stand in the hot sun for hours. The most challenging part of being on the show was the long hours that we worked and filmed. The best part about being on the show is making guest appearances on talk shows and doing press interviews on behalf of TV Land. Meeting all the ladies and getting to know their personal accomplishments was rewarding, too. They are all unique and will always have a special place in my heart. I also connected with lots of ladies while standing in line at the casting.
