America’s Next Top Model: Brittany Markert Was Shocked After Elimination
November 01, 2009 11:51 AM by Britteny Elrick
Brittany Markert, 21, was the ninth model eliminated from America’s Next Top Model last week. Although she took some risks that pleased the judges, in the end it just wasn’t enough. Brittany recently discussed her mysterious elimination, the criticisms she faced on the show, and her plans for the future. Keep reading for more details…
Last Thursday, Brittany spoke with Reality TV World about her unfortunate news.
Reality TV World: Have you come to terms with the reason for your elimination or is still a mystery to you?
Brittany: Now watching it on TV, they portray it a certain way. I think at the time and weeks after it was done, I just felt like it wasn’t my time to leave yet — I truly thought I would have made it into the Top 3. I’m really hard on myself, so it was really hard not to make it that far. For a while, I was just still really confused and — now looking back on it — I understand the critiques. But I still don’t think it was my time to be eliminated.
Reality TV World: Tyra criticized your photo shoot poses for being “formulaic.” Is that a problem you had been aware of before she pointed it out?
Brittany: I feel like I had worked with her in the scarf shoot, which I won that. During that whole footage I was moving around, doing a whole bunch of different poses, giving her a lot — and I think that’s why I ended up winning that challenge. Every photo shoot you do is completely different. There’s different creatives. For this creative, I decided to be very stoic and poised and elegant.
Reality TV World: Last night was your first and only time in the bottom two while it was Erin’s second in a row. Do you think that should have played a role in the judges’ decision?
Brittany: I think she definitely was very lucky because the prior week, she was in the bottom two and it was because of her complaining and it was because of her personality. So she was given a second chance.
Reality TV World: Do you feel you were portrayed accurately on the show?
Brittany: It’s definitely hard to watch the show and see how your edited and what’s shown and what’s not shown. I think looking back on it, they had to portray me in a certain way because I was going to get eliminated. I wasn’t overly bitchy or anything, but the last three weeks before I got eliminated they just didn’t give me airtime. That was kind of the lead in to me being eliminated. So I think that my edit was very neutral and it didn’t really touch on the different spontaneous and silly sides of my personality. But it just kind of shows the neutral hanging out, “There’s Brittany.”
Reality TV World: What’s next for you? Are you going to pursue a career in modeling?
Brittany: I have one class left to get my math degree, which I’m going to do in the spring. But right now I am just giving my heart to modeling. I’m going to shoot and go to agencies and try to get work because it’s what I love doing. I’ve got to strike while the iron’s hot and I’m going to give everything to modeling and see if it works out.
