What did you learn from the competition?
I've learned to have a thicker skin. Tyra and the judges really try to break you down all the time. It was almost overwhelming because at every single panel you'd have Miss Jay making fun of you for some reason, and you'd have Tyra saying that everything you're doing is wrong and everything she does is right, and you always have Nigel nitpicking everything about the shot. The show is more of a like, do the photo shoot and we'll judge you. It was just like do what you can do and we'll judge you. It wasn't really a hands-on learning experience.
