The 21 year old model was strong throughout the season, winning three challenges and only landing in the bottom two twice. Host and judge Tyra Banks said this of Saleisha after her victory: “Saleisha, I feel, is CoverGirl when it comes to who she is, what she stands for and how she portrays herself." Controversy has surrounded Saleisha since she previously knew Tyra, attending her TZone camp as a teenager. She also appeared on her talk show as a model and was in a national commercial for Wendy's.
