America's Next Top Model useless facts!

I thought Shandi was a dj in NYC?

no, i believe thats kahlen

[Wiest]

Which contestants have been bilingual?

Gina with Korean? Both of her parents are Korean (and have very broken English according to her pre-show interview) and she works as a translator.

Diane was fluent in Spanish. So was Leslie. I think Yoanna has said once that she is too. I want to say Lluvy is because she was born in Mexico but I do not want to make that assumption.

I think April said she understands Japanese, but I'm not sure of her speaking skills.

Oh and we can't forget Brita with Latvian.

And I've heard that Yaya is fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, and French.

Any others?

Maybe Julie was.

I have another fact! Um, even though we think that Julie was the only girl of Indian descent to be on the show, Jenascia was, too, which was mentioned in her chat transcript on the UPN ANTM C2 website.

EDIT: On Yoanna's IMG Bio, it says that she's fluent in Spanish and speaks a bit of Japanese.

I think it's funny that almost everyone in the first promo looks better than in the one that ran.

Also, in the recap show Tyra said Nicole was from SD. She's actually from ND.

Joanie and Kahlen (Both runners-up) were called 2nd-to last at the 2nd elimination.

Gotta add YaYa to that list! And Elyse was in the bottom three at the second elimination and still made top three.

No, it's Shandi. She's not still working at Walgreens, she's a DJ in NYC now. Check out her myspace for dates and such.

OMG! I just noticed this! In the cycle 6 opening, the first few are:

Joanie
Jade
Sara
Furonda

Hm....anbody see anything in that? I do!
Joanie: 2nd place
Jade: 3rd place
Sara: 4th place
Furonda: 5th place

^that's really interesting! I always thought there was some sort of clue in the openings...

[ANTM Mega Fan]

In seasons 4 & 5, the girl featured first in the opening comes in seventh (Tati & Kyle.)

[mayukhers112]

Another fact!

In the openings for Cycles 1 and 6, the second place girl is shown first! Shannon and Joanie.

Cycle 4 featured the "Flower of Death", a cheap pink plastic flower necklace that just would not go away.

Tyra wore that in her pre-judging picture African dance week!

Also, I believe Jayla's post-elimination speech was the shortest (It got cut off by the top three reflecting on making it to the end of the competition.)

Also they didn't start showing eliminated contestants portfolios until S3.

Jayla, Shandi & Cassandra are the only girls to not have their pictures fade from the collage directly after they leave.
