Last night on America's Next Top Model, Marjorie was eliminated from the competition after weeks of being warned by Tyra that her lack of confidence was getting the best of her. Marjorie started out the season strong, as a frontrunner even, but couldn't seem to keep her strong photos going as the weeks wore on. She landed in the bottom two twice in a row and this week proved to be her last. Today, Marjorie spoke to BuddyTV in an exclusive interview and said that confidence was not a problem for her at all. Read on to find out what she has to say about her favorite photo, how she felt about the way she was portrayed, and how she feels about her experience on America's Next Top Model.
Below, you will find the transcript and the mp3 of the interview.

Last night on Cycle 11 of America's Next Top Model, the inevitable happened. Though Marjorie seemed to be able to effortlessly nail high fashion shots, she couldn't tamp down her nerves in a way that won over the judges. I'm glad, though, that she went home after another win and, it would seem, a bit of fun with some lads. At least go out on a high note.
As to her final photo, was it also a high note? Let's see who landed in the top and bottom this week on America's Next Top Model.

If America’s Next Top Model was a competition that was strictly about modeling, then Elina, McKey, and Marjorie would most likely be the final three. Unfortunately for two of them at least, that is not the case. When Tyra Banks and her panel of judges are deliberating, they take all kinds of things into consideration, from being a good speaker to a level of ego or arrogance to having the ability to take direction. For Elina, her refusal to let go of control was her ultimate downfall. For Marjorie, her lack of confidence is what got her eliminated from the competition. I think I basically understood Elina’s issues but a model with no faith in herself always leaves me scratching my head.

A word of advice to the contestants of America's Next Top Model. Be careful how you act when the cameras are rolling because any little thing can come back to bite you in panel. In the preview for tonight's episode, Marjorie consumes a bit too much alcohol and gets a bit friendly with a local. Why can't she be so free and forward when she's in front of the judges? Give this girl a shot next time! For the next hour, I'll be here live and the final four girls are narrowed down to three. The season finale is fast approaching - take some bets on who's going to be the final two!

I missed the mark pretty wide a couple weeks ago when I predicted Sheena would continue to be safe on America's Next Top Model the very week she was eliminated. I am glad to brag, then, that I haven't completely lost my ability to read the waxing and waning of Tyra's weave (all the secrets of the universe can be found there!). I was correct that the “scream at the judges” advertised last week was, boringly, just Elina being pushed to show emotion. I still have some America's Next Top Model mojo!
Can I maintain it this week? Who could be on the chopping block to not make it to the final three

There’s a reason that people call Tyra Banks the next Oprah. The reality and talk show host is clearly looking to start an empire. This year, she announced a spinoff of her hit show, America’s Next Top Model, called Operation Fabulous. Top Model photo coach Jay Manuel and runway coach Miss J. Alexander will travel around the country, transforming women from drab to fab. Her newest reality show, Stylista, the search for the next great fashion editor, is currently airing on the CW network. She is the executive producer of both Operation Fabulous and Stylista. Banks recently teamed up with Ashton Kutcher (That 70s Show, Punk’d) for her latest project, True Beauty. Details surrounding the show have been kept quiet – until now.

Our America's Next Top Model Cycle 11 final five were whittled down to a final four last night after the usual go-see shenanigans and a Very Special Photoshoot with none other than Ms. Tyra Banks.
The girls had to give us not one but two kinds of good face: clean-scrubbed and totally done-up. Which girls were able to work the looks the best on last night's episode of America's Next Top Model?

Ashton Kutcher and Tyra Banks have long been familiar with the quest for beauty in the world of reality TV. Kutcher served as the creator and executive producer of Beauty and the Geek while Banks is the creator and star of America's Next Top Model and The Tyra Banks Show. While both have their own ideas of what makes a person truly beautiful, they've decided to combine their expertise to re-define the concept of beauty on a new show called True Beauty.
Premiering on ABC on Monday, January 5 at 10pm ET/PT, True Beauty features six stunning females and four handsome males who will live together in a spectacular Los Angeles mansion as they undergo a series of challenges to determine who is truly the most beautiful. The show will be hosted and judged by Vanessa Minnillo, who previously hosted TRL and ET, along with judges Cheryl Tiegs, author and designer, and Nol Marin, fashion expert for E! and The Tyra Banks Show.
