Latest Supermodel Sendoff Doesn't Understand You Voters!

Although it wasn€™t much of a shock, it was truly a disappointment to see Shannon get the boot on Make Me A Supermodel. She demonstrated iron will, fierce determination, and bulletproof confidence from beginning to end- all of which served her well in establishing her as a consistent favorite amongst the judges. Blame it on cockiness or the mounting stress, or maybe just bad luck, but after failing to deliver in last week€™s goth-themed challenge, Shannon was put up for elimination against Ronnie and his loyal army of fans who have helped him persevere by saving him from elimination week after week- and as expected, she was the one to get the boot.

Stylehive just spoke to the 6 foot tells-it-like-it-is stunner to get the scoop on her elimination, the truth about her feud with Perry, and more.

Stylehive: How would you sum up your experience on the show?
Shannon: It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and I feel really fortunate to have been a part of it. How many people can say that they got to be on a TV show like that? It was incredible; I wouldn€™t trade it for anything in the world.

Stylehive: What were your thoughts on being in the bottom two?
Shannon: I was really optimistic about it. I felt like there were and there are viewers who saw that potential in me and that I could do well and that in a lot of ways I deserved to come back, so I was really optimistic about it. But at the same time it€™s like this thing is just a popularity contest- I don€™t know why people are voting, or what is motivating them to vote for the people that they€™re voting for. Are they really judging how good of models they are? Or is it just €˜I like her face, I like his face€™ kind of thing? You have absolutely no idea what€™s going through the viewers mind with their voting. I was really optimistic about it, and just really curious and really anxious to get up there and find out because not knowing- sitting around and waiting to find out, is a pain!

Stylehive: Do you think America made the right choice?
Shannon: Well like I said before, and like I said a lot of times, I felt that because I was always very consistent throughout the show, it should have been rewarded and Ronnie was never as consistent as me, so I just felt a little confused as to why people were voting for someone who fluctuates so much. But at the same time I don€™t think it€™s unfair or anything- of course I was disappointed when it happened, but I got over that pretty quickly. And honestly I€™m just ready to get out there and start doing something else.

Stylehive: This competition really turned into a battle of the sexes almost- especially when it came to you and Perry- what was going on with that?
Shannon: Actually I think it was all very exaggerated, editing had a lot to do with it I€™m sure. There were definitely positive times too between Perry and I and between everybody in the house. I think it was a little bit more exaggerated than it needed to be. It wasn€™t like we were all scratching each other€™s eyes out all the time- it wasn€™t like that at all.

Stylehive: What is your best style advice?
Shannon: Well the best advice I€™d gotten is the advice I€™ve been giving myself for my entire life which is basically to be yourself. You shouldn€™t wear something just because you think it€™s going to please somebody else. When you€™re dressing yourself, when you€™re putting your makeup on in the morning, you do what works best for you or what you like. Just keep in mind that you€™re never trying to please anyone other than yourself. That€™s what the makeup artists would say, the stylists would say, this is what anybody would say when you€™re trying to create a personal style for yourself- you have to just do what makes you happy.

Stylehive: What€™s next for you?
Shannon: It€™s a surprise- I can€™t tell you, but you€™ll find out.
