Lisa D'Amato dressed for success
Over-the-top model D'Amato booted
By -- Calgary Sun


Lisa D'Amato is dazed and confused.

The 24-year-old wardrobe stylist from Los Angeles was considered the front-runner on this season's America's Next Top Model until she was eliminated in last week's episode.

"I truly believe the best one was me in every respect of the competition because I nailed everything," she says, adding the five remaining finalists are all less qualified.

"I think they all should have been eliminated instead of me."

While it's true Lisa's photographs were always among the best, some of the judges were put off by her outrageous personality.

Host Tyra Banks called Lisa (who, in a previous episode, was seen putting on diapers and urinating in them) "cocky" and said her spunkyness was "too much," before sending her home.

"I'm crazy and I love to have fun, but I asked in the beginning if the judges judged just on the pictures and challenges and they said yes. If that's not the case, I was misled."

Lisa also feels the judges teamed up against her on the last challenge.

She claims after her final photo shoot, which took place in a London phone booth, photo-shoot stylist Jay Manuel praised her and used her poses as examples of what the other girls should be doing.

He then gave each of the models, except her, a second chance to get it right.

But, what bothered Lisa even more was learning that her Top Model roommates had been backstabbing her in front of the camera.

"I can't even believe it -- I thought they were all my friends.

"Obviously, I was more experienced and I knew what I was taking about, so me trying to help them was seen as arrogance. That's not the case at all -- I was really just trying to lend a helping hand."

So who does Lisa think should win ANTM?

She says either Nicole because "it seems like her life would be going nowhere else," or Bree because she "doesn't complain all day long."

As for herself, Lisa says she's just finished acting in an independent film called The Insignificant Search for Significance and is pursuing a modelling career.

"My book's insane right now. I'm on my way, man. I'm like a race car -- watch out for me."

America's Next Top Model airs on Ciytv at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
