Mikaela was one of my early picks to go all the way on America's Next Top Model cycle 16, but signs pointed the other way early on in the season: Her look was flawless, but the results were not showing up in her final shots. And when she wasn't on a photo shoot she just seemed so ... relaxed. So relaxed, in fact, that it seemed we didn't get to hear much from her at all, as she kept herself out of the big drama between the other girls. A great strategy for being a human being, but not the best for making soundbites on a reality TV show.
So when it came down to the choice between Brittani, who has put up beautiful photos and also had a major blowout at this week's panel, or Mikaela, who was showing promise but not results, the judges voted to keep Brittani. And while I didn't agree with Tyra's choice to tell Brittani that she wished Mikaela had stayed instead (harsh!), I did agree when she told Mikaela she saw a bright future for the 21-year-old Floridan student, who's also studying theater.
I got the chance to chat with Mikaela yesterday about her Top Model experience. Here's what she had to say:
