Nijah Harris was cut on last week’s episode of America’s Next Top Model, essentially just for being a total bore. Here are highlights from an interview she did about her feelings on the last photo shoot, her future plans, and her beef with Sandra.

Could you just talk a little bit about the difficulties you had with that last photo shoot? You said that it was more difficult modeling with a partner than you thought it would be.
Nijah: Oh yes. When you’re working with a partner not only do you have to [if you are creating] a good group picture, but you also have to make sure you don’t get lost. You wanna make sure you connect with your partner. Me and my partner, we were fine, we got along. But at that particular moment in time we couldn’t quite click together and quite get something going at the same time.

And not only that, but for some reason I just wasn’t quite feeling it myself that day. I don’t know if it was because of the actual theme we got, or what it was, but yeah…

You were down to the final two where it was just you and [Allison, a 20-year-old artist from New Orleans, LA], did you have any sense about whether you were going home or not?
Nijah: I was not expecting to go home so early, but when I got down to the bottom two with Allison I wasn’t really sure how it was gonna go down, like wow. Because they really like Allison (unintelligible) and she has had her picture called out first before, so I was like “Oh, wow (Laughs).”

What are you up to now? Are you going to continue pursuing modeling?

Nijah: Oh most definitely! I love modeling, that is my passion. Just the runway itself, ooh it gives me the chills just every time I think about it. Yes, I’m going to pursue modeling, even though I’m not in school right now I want to enroll next semester. I figure if [Tyra Banks] can go to UCLA and become a supermodel. than I can do it to.

What are you going to study?
Nijah: Probably nursing, I’m not exactly sure but yeah, I’ll probably go into nursing school.

How did you feel about  [Sandra, a 19-year-old student from Rockville, MD]?
Nijah: (Laughs) Not my favorite girl in the house. We did have our own little [disagreements] in the house, but I guess they weren’t big enough to get shown on TV (Laughs). I don’t know, my whole deal with her was that I was gonna let her know how I feel, and then after that I was not gonna keep discussing her. What is said is said and I don’t think I need to keep going on and on about it.

Best wishes to Nijah in her future endeavors. She seems like a really sweet girl.
