CHAT Magadelna-r�l :

ANTM Host: Hey everyone! Thanks for joining our weekly AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL chat for Cycle 3. Magdalena, welcome to the chat. Are you ready to answer some questions from the fans?
Magdalena: Yes I am!

curegirl: Magdalena, since you left the show early, are you going back to the schooling that you gave up to be on the show?
Magdalena: Yes. Right now I am in my final year of the nursing program. When I am done in May I will pursue my modeling career.

Chris: Was it as stressful as it looked on the show?
Magdalena: YES! It was very stressful! With all the elements from lack of sleep, pressure to make a good impression, a lasting impression as well as a great photo shoot--it was all very stressful.

TweetyBird: Where are all the models living this year?
Magdalena: They put us up in a very nice resort hotel.

TweetyBird: What were some of the most common mistakes the applicants made, that caused them to be cut from the competition?
Magdalena: That's a good question! I would say lack of personality and maybe too much arrogance. You have to have an entire package, not just looking good. I feel they were trying to break the stereotype of the "stupid model" which is important. There are a lot of models out there that are not only beautiful but intelligent and have a lot going for them.

silverj: Mag, I thought it was nice for Tyra to come to the house and chat with you all. How did you feel about that?
Magdalena: I didn't move into the house but it was nice of her to go talk to the other girls.

silverj: Magdalena, what is the one thing (experience) you will take with you?
Magdalena: Always be true to yourself and no matter what happens you always have to stay motivated. Everything does happen for a reason and you need to be content with that--I truly am.

Dave: If you HAD to choose one thing you could have done differently what would it be?
Magdalena: I don't think there is anything I would have done differently. I was myself and wasn't in the drama. If I had a second chance I wouldn't want to be in the drama. I may have been more outspoken after I got eliminated so I could have found out why I was eliminated instead of leaving without an answer.

FaceTime: Were the judges helpful or just critical?
Magdalena: I would say neither in my case. I didn't get any feedback.

Chris: Magdalena, how do you feel about your dream now?
Magdalena: I feel my dream is still very possible--even more than it was before the show because of the exposure the show has given me. It doesn't stop here! This is not the end. It is just the end of the beginning.

Chrissy247: Magdalena, What was going through your mind when Leah was about to open the envelope?
Magdalena: If it is me, how am I going to walk out of here? I hope I don't fall! I didn't think it was going to be me but I had to prepare myself.

QueenBee_21: Did you like Tyra?
Magdalena: I thought Tyra was very down to earth and very hands-on with the entire process. She was great.

tycutee: What do you eat in a typical day?
Magdalena: Oatmeal or cereal in the morning (Honeycombs is my favorite). For lunch I have a vegetable noodle bowl at school. For dinner I will have chicken and veggies. About 2-3 times a week I have pizza. I have to have pizza. I am obsessed with it but I can't have it every day--my metabolism is slowing down!

tycutee: What is the most interesting fact about you?
Magdalena: I love to work out.

silverj: Mag, looking back what would you have done differently during the photo shoot?
Magdalena: I wouldn't have done anything differently because nobody told me to do anything differently. Maybe if I had more direction during the shoot I could have tried to nail what they wanted.

silverj: Mag, was it really hard to pose the way Jay wanted you and the other models to?
Magdalena: I was hard to pose because my bathing suit was a bit complicated. On one hand, I had the stylist telling me to make sure I pose with my back straight and even more of an arch. On the other hand I had J. and Jay Manuel telling me to bend down. And the bathing suit would bunch up so I was having a hard time getting everything figured out.

IN_THE_BAG: How was Jamaica, Magdalena?
Magdalena: Exciting and rewarding.

IN_THE_BAG: Are you upset you couldn't take photos with male models?
Magdalena: No. My boyfriend is a male model and I can take photos with him!

tycutee: What is the one thing you are most proud of in your life?
Magdalena: That I am finishing up my last year of school and as of yet, I have made my mom very proud. She is someone who has worked very hard to make sure I have accomplished all I can. Education is very important to my family.

Chris: Who was the nicest contestant, Magdalena?
Magdalena: In general most of the girls were very nice. I have a great relationship with Leah and Julie.

Tisha: What do you have to say to anyone who wants to try out for next season?
Magdalena: I would say to be yourself, bring your energy, and keep it light. If you don't make it, it is not the end of the world. I was very nonchalant for the entire audition process. Make sure you have other things going for you. And believe in yourself because that will come through!

ANTM Host: Our time with Magdalena is up. Magdalena, thanks again for being here with us today. Do you have any final words for the ANTM Fans?
Magdalena: Thank you everybody for the support. This is not the end of the world for me. I am so excited to begin my new adventure in the modeling world.

ANTM Host: Thanks for joining us everyone!! Don't miss an exciting new episode of AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL next Wednesday at 8:00PM ET/PT.
