Allison Kuehn, a hostess from Waunakee, Wisconsin, was a contestant on
America's Next Top Model cycle 10.
During the second episode of the season, Allison fell flat in her homeless photo, but spared from the bottom two. On the third episode, Allison, a previous sufferer of anorexia, was offended by fellow contestant
Fatima 's comment about her larger body, and she responded by making crude comments about Fatima using a dark-skinned doll. At elimination, Allison's conceited attitude and lackluster photographs landed her in the bottom two, and became the third model eliminated.
Allison started modeling when she was 16 and had been in and out of Asia since then because of her work. She was one of the more experienced models on the show.
Allison described meeting
Tyra Banks as a very surreal experience and even saw Tyra as a big human Barbie doll hologram. She also believed that
Paulina Porizkova 's criticisms were all constructive.
Allison can be remembered for answering “I Know!” when she was complimented for looking so soft and pretty instead of thanking Tyra for her comment. Allison didn't acknowledge Tyra even after Tyra asked for a thanks.
Allison agreed with the fact that the season she was in was the most competitive cycle ever. She said that not only did the girls look good but everyone had that competitive attitude. “It really brought out an ugly side in most of the girls, and that's why there seems to be a lot of fighting. All the girls, and myself included, want it so bad,” she shared.
After ANTM, Allison worked with Ford Models in Milwaukee, Vue Model Management and I Model and Talent in Los Angeles. She also appeared in Wedding More, Jessica Code and Pop magazine.
