In the finale, the judges were torn, with some of the judges preferring fellow finalist Joanie Dodds's versatile portfolio, while others (notably judge Nigel Barker) preferring Evans's ' signature look.' However, they felt Evans had the stronger in-person presence and commanded the final catwalk as well as having a stunning portfolio. Evans had two consecutive bottom two appearances in Bangkok where she survived both over Sara Albert and Jade Cole. It was not until the second half of the contest that she came under criticism for her heavy southern accent, which the judges felt was problematic, as the competition winner would shoot commercials for Covergirl however, they acknowledged that she could work with a speech coach to eradicate her accent. Over her stay, Evans was voted Covergirl of the Week twice, received one first call-out and would have won the Go-See challenge had the final four been on time. She never placed below sixth and was thought by the judges to be one of the front-runners in the competition, noted for her striking face. She currently resides in New York City, where she founded Monrowe, a unisex line of ready-to-wear hats.Īmerica's Next Top Model Winning America's Next Top Model Cycle 6 Įvans was the ninth finalist selected (just before Kathy Hoxit, Furonda Brasfield, Gina Choe and Wendy Wiltz filled the final four places) for the top thirteen to compete on the UPN reality television show America's Next Top Model Cycle 6.
