Marjorie Faked Her Nerves?!?!

July 13, 2009 ι Jarett Wieselman

OK, so at first she annoyed me with her constant nerves and endless crying, but as this cycle of "America's Next Top Model" wore on, it was impossible not to notice that Marjorie was one talented poser. I mean that in a nice way. Swear.

Pop Wrap: You were one of "ANTM's" most polarizing contestants ever -- what kinds of reactions have you been getting?

Marjorie: Um, it's a mixed bag because of my overexposure and awkward nervous personae on the show, but I have a lot of fans and I really appreciate the support.

PW: Last night you were very subdued. Which is the real Marjorie?

Marjorie: My personality is closer to the facet I showed in the final judging rather than the extreme nervousness. I didn't show that side as much because I was often called boring when I was controlled, so I overemphasized my reactions and thoughts out of fear of being eliminated for a lack of a personality.

PW: What did you think about how you came off in the last episode?

Marjorie: I was really happy the whole time, I also wasn't drunk the whole time -- let it be known. I'm just sipping the same glass.

PW: Do you think Annaleigh made a big deal out of nothing when you were in the bathtub with Bernard?

Marjorie: She'll never admit this, but yeah, I think she kinda made a huge deal out of it. I could've taken care of myself -- it was just a bath! Bernard is the one who needed to be taken care of. Annaleigh is very maternal and protective -- but I just wanted to let loose.

PW: Maybe she was just mad you found another bathtub buddy?

Marjorie: Maybe [laughs]. If Elina was there, she would have definitely joined me in the tub -- she would have been a great bath buddy! PW You, Annaleigh and Elina bathed together frequently, were you just being environmentally conscious?

Marjorie: Annaleigh and Elina were just the only ones to break down the competition wall in me so we just formed more of a bond. And in Amsterdam there wasn't much to do but sleep, eat and bathe - and eating and sleeping don't make for great television.

PW: One thing that never made it to air was that you never unpacked your suitcase, why not?

Marjorie: I just didn't want to deal with a super long packing session if I did go home. Everyone just threw their stuff out in the middle of the room and I didn't want to make more clutter. Maybe it was also a bit of superstition, like, "as soon as I settle in, that's when they'll get me." But, I didn't keep my toothbrush in there or anything, it wasn't that extreme.

PW: Who are you rooting for to win?

Marjorie: Obviously I'm biased but I want Annaleigh to win.
