Stylehive Interviews the "Make Me a Supermodel" Loser Boys! Awww! - Stylehive

It was really anyone€™s guess who would take the cake on Make Me A Supermodel. There was gorgeous Perry, the obvious front-runner, whose confidence and sense of humor won everyone over; Ben, the former prison guard who stepped it up and silenced the judges when they began doubting his potential; Ronnie, the most adorable creature on the face of the planet who proved he could expand far beyond the confines of catalog work; and Holly, the strikingly beautiful farm girl who wanted this more than anything in the world.

All contestants did an amazing job throughout the competition and pushed themselves to the absolute limit despite many obstacles along the way both professional and personal - especially for poor Perry who had to stay focused while reports about his girlfriend hooking up with Britney Spears' paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib were being splashed all over the tabloids. We all know how the story ends, America voted, and Holly was declared a Supermodel. The show may be over, but the questions remain. How did they feel about coming so close to winning it all? Do they think the right person won? Will Perry forgive Amanda? Why was Ben being so shady with his wife? What's next for everyone??

Don€™t worry, Stylehive has you covered. We spoke to all three boys to find out everything you're dying to know.

Stylehive: How would you describe your overall experience on the show?
Perry: A once in a lifetime opportunity. It sounds clich̩, but it really has changed my life. It۪s allowed me to grow as a young man and to really find myself and to trust myself more. I۪ve been with the best in the business for the past 12 weeks- and it۪s been good, it۪s been bad, they۪ve critiqued me and they۪ve really helped me with my life and with my career that way. I۪m truly blessed to have been a part of this.
Ben: It was a roller coaster ride pretty much, a lot of up and downs. But I think I learned a lot about the industry, I learned a lot about myself. When you get everything taken away from you, you realize what you took for granted. Looking back, I€™m glad to see that I had the support of my wife, and my family, and my friends, behind me this entire time, it made the journey worthwhile because now everybody€™s closer
Ronnie: The best part was being able to see the growth process- physically and emotionally, from day one to just finishing the show a week ago now. It was incredible, I feel like I€™m a different model, I€™ve changed in so many ways, and at the end of each day, after doing all the challenges and all the difficult obstacles we had to overcome on and off the catwalk, it was such a good tired, it was a feeling of accomplishment, just of actually doing something and having purpose. It€™s just such an incredible feeling to be so exhausted from doing something that you love and to pursue this dream, that was definitely the best part of it for me. The worst part was probably being away and sequestered from people that I really care about.

Stylehive: What was it like being up there in front of the panel waiting for the results for the last time?
Perry: I was very confident in myself. I was the first person to say that this show is not just about becoming a great model, it€™s about being able to do everything, whether it€™s acting or whatever the case is- and I felt like I brought that to the table I think more than everybody else. Was I shocked that I didn€™t win? Yeah, I was a little shocked I guess, I mean I felt like I was gonna win, I felt like I was deserving. Whether America thought I should win or not was up to them. But in the same sense, everything does happen for a reason. and I€™m just gonna take this opportunity and run with it
Ben I had a lot of confidence that I was in good standing, but in the end Holly won, and I€™m happy for her, she had a lot of passion in it. It€™s good for her and it doesn€™t mean that I€™m gone, it just means that I€™m not tied down at the moment and I can pursue all kinds of different options now.

Stylehive: Did America make the right choice?
Perry: Well I thought I was the right choice, but I think that America saw that Holly has been doing this for a long time and that it€™s a passion of hers- like it€™s been a passion of hers for 10 years, this particular thing has only been an interest of mine for the past year and half- and I think maybe they saw that she wants this so bad and that she€™s dedicated her whole life to it. And maybe that€™s what they voted on, maybe it was because she was the last girl, maybe because she was deserving- whatever the case is. I mean I feel like had America chosen me, I would have made them so proud, I would have made them happy that they picked me to be in that position. But again, I€™m happy for Holly, I hope she does great things with her life and I know she will, so it€™s all good.

Ronnie: To be up there on the stage with Holly was an honor in and of itself, and if not me then Holly. I think that was the right choice because she, just like me, struggled for 10 years to make it in this industry and we€™ve gotten the door slammed in our face and we€™ve been wanting this for so long, so if it wasn€™t gonna be me, I was very proud of Holly, I was very glad that it was her. I mean America made the decision that they wanted and you can€™t question that. I think they€™ve supported me on this journey and I€™ve come so far and they€™ve noticed the growth and I€™m gonna continue to pursue it.

Stylehive: What's the next step in your careers and what do you think you'll bring to the modeling industry?
Perry: I€™m gonna take this opportunity and run as fast and as far as I can with it and I€™m not gonna stop until I can€™t do it anymore. I€™m definitely gonna be pursuing acting and modeling 100 times harder than I ever was because I€™ve gotta use this opportunity while I have it. So you€™re definitely gonna be seeing a lot of me and I just hope nobody gets sick of my face. I don€™t know if people got a chance to see that I have this creative side- I wanna direct, I wanna write, I don€™t want to ever limit myself, I want to be able to do everything there is in this entire business.

Ben: My everything, my heart. I€™m just gonna hit it full force like a hurricane. I wanna do it all, I don€™t want to do just modeling, I want to dedicate several years to modeling and modeling alone and then break off into acting and stuff and then when the career slows down, start a family.

Ronnie: I think Niki said it best, it€™s that I want to be an ambassador of the fashion industry. I think what I€™d bring to the table is just the ability to communicate and kind of be a fresh face and someone who kind of dances to his own beat. And I wanna do it not only because I have my own interest of being in this career, but I feel like when you do become a celebrity or you get noticed for your hard work, you can bring attention to important causes. I feel like there€™s a lot of people that abuse things and make fools of themselves and I think there are people that really lend their voice, their popularity, and the attention to important causes. I think I€™m a humanitarian at heart and that€™s what I want to bring forward into this industry that can be tough and cruel at times, but I wanna bring that heart into the industry.

Stylehive: Ben and Perry, you both have struggled with some personal issues which really came to a head in last night's episode. I'm sure a lot of people are wondering how that all worked out.
Perry: Amanda and I have gone through a lot together, we€™ve been through the ups and downs and I support her, she supports me and we€™re there for each other. The whole outside world, they can say what they want, but we both know what the deal is and we€™re both happy with that. I€™ve had a chance to speak with her and everything€™s great right now. So as far as that€™s concerned, it€™s pretty much me and her and that€™s something special that we wanna share together and we don€™t want the whole world to know everything that€™s going on with our lives, but I can tell you right now that everything is great.

Ben: Imagine if you will you€™re separated from someone that you love and you see every day for 3 months, which feels like 3 years, you€™re gonna be a little standoffish, but it€™s just because you haven€™t had the opportunity to talk to them or see them in 3 months. And so there€™s nothing there, we€™re very much in love. And the whole thing that I said about Jessica Stam and inviting her over for drinks, that was just a joke, and a lot of people took it as something that it wasn€™t and that€™s fine, people can perceive it however they want to. But it€™s my life and I know what happened and what didn€™t happen and I know what€™s true and what€™s not true and that€™s all that I really care about. People can say whatever they want to about me, it doesn€™t matter to me.
