Kortnie Coles was the “plus-sized” model contestant and comedian on this cycle of America’s Next Top Model, but her dreams ended this week when she was cut from the competition. Here are some highlights from an interview the Houston native did in which she reveals her future plans, who she’s rooting for now, and what she thinks about her red hair!

Earlier in that episode you described yourself as a “old male comedian stuffed in a curvy chicks body,” which I’m sure isn’t exactly what [Toccara Jones] was expecting to hear from anyone. Could you go into a little more details about why you describe yourself that way?
Kortnie: I really do think of myself as that way. I’m just kind of like always joking around and make really inappropriate comments. I think when people see curvy girls they don’t always think that’s what’s going to be coming out of their mouths. (Laughs) So I guess it’s just like a mix of Ron Burgundy and George Carlin inside of two boobs and some hips. Some child birthin’ hips.

How did you feel about Sandra’s comments that were shown right after that in which she said you didn’t take the competition seriously?
Kortnie: Well obviously taking the competition too seriously is getting her nowhere, it’s also getting her no friendships. So, to me I’d rather be successful in my own right and have some friends along the way than be all alone at the top where everybody thinks you’re a jerk. So I think the way that I do it’s just fine and Sandra, obviously she’s okay being a loner. So she can live the rest of her life with no jokes and no friends and we’ll all be laughing.

Are you still planning on pursuing modeling as a career?
Kortnie: Oh yeah, definitely. What I’m definitely going to do after the show, I have some nice things that I’m working on now: modeling, spokes modeling. I think that goes hand-in-hand with other forms of entertainment, so anywhere I’m wanted I’ll be there.

Have you kept your makeover?
Kortnie: Yeah I did actually. I think that the red hair looks super fun and it was nice to have a change. I trust Tyra’s opinion on what looks good on me more than my own mirror. Before the show I just had long curly brown hair and that’s the way it is when it dries and I was lazy. So it’s kinda fun to have red hair now.

Who are you rooting for now that you’re out?
Kortnie: I’m definitely rooting for Allison, not only because I think she has a really interesting face, but I know her personally and she’s a great girl. She’s very humble and respectful and fun and quirky. So I’m definitely rooting for her on all levels.

Seems like Sandra is the least popular girl in the house, and with good reason. Despite being the bottom two twice already, she still thinks she’s the best model there. Um, ok? Delusional…. Good luck to Kortnie!!
