CariDee English (born September 23, 1984[2][3]) is an American fashion model and TV personality who won Cycle 7 of America's Next Top Model in December 2006. Her prize was a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl Cosmetics, a modeling contract with Elite Models, and a six-page fashion editorial and cover for Seventeen magazine. She is the second ANTM winner from North Dakota, the first being Nicole Linkletter of Cycle 5.[4] English was also the host of Oxygen's biggest-premiering show to date, Pretty Wicked.

Early life

[edit]

English was born in Fargo, North Dakota, to Pam Flesness and Tony English.

Before modeling

[edit]

Before appearing on America's Next Top Model, English worked as a photographer, and also was an actor in the sketch comedy group known as The 4th Option, which performed weekly in the old East Gate Lounge in Moorhead, Minnesota. On December 13, 2004, she sang with the Willy Waldman Project. She was a listed model with the Academie Agencie in Fargo, North Dakota, in 2001. She entered the Millie Lewis Actors Models and Talent Competition in 2002 and was placed with Mega Models in Miami, Florida, for the summer of 2003.

Winning America's Next Top Model

[edit]

English was the eleventh finalist selected (just before Amanda Babin and Monique Calhoun filled the final two places) for the seventh cycle of America's Next Top Model. From the start, she was noted for her similarity to Rebecca Romijn and Karolína Kurková, and in the early stages of the cycle her personality was considered fun and outgoing. Throughout the competition, English was selected to participate in challenge prizes won by Eugena Washington (alongside Jaeda Young), A.J. Stewart (alongside Megg Morales), Michelle Babin (alongside Melrose Bickerstaff and Amanda Babin) and Melrose Bickerstaff. She also had close friendships with Megan Morris and Anchal Joseph.

English received five consecutive Covergirl of the week awards, three first call-outs for her outstanding performances in photoshoots and won the acting challenge. As the acting challenge winner, English had an opportunity to guest-star in an episode of the CW series One Tree Hill (which aired immediately following Top Model at the time), appearing in multiple scenes. In the same episode, English was criticized for not being able to deliver a commercial properly, even thought it was in Spanish, however due to showing more potential, she survived her first-ever bottom two appearance over Jaeda Young who was eliminated in her fourth bottom two appearance.

Later, in Episode eleven, English was criticized for making an impulsive, crude joke to fashion photographer and ANTM judge Nigel Barker during the bullfighting photo shoot in Barcelona, asking him "Did you just remove that (referring to a large stick Barker was holding) from your ass from the last panel?" which Melrose Bickerstaff could not believe English said. English stated that Barker "actually joked back", and was never really mad, yet during panel she apologized to Barker and received the third call-out that week placing both the twins in the bottom two where Michelle Babin was eliminated. The next week, English was placed in the bottom two again for her doubtful strength to work in tough circumstances (i.e. photoshoot in cold water). Once more, she survived her second bottom two appearance over the remaining twin, Amanda, who was eliminated in her second consecutive bottom two appearance.[5]

English was shown speaking to her boyfriend on the phone in one episode, and then passionately kissing one of the male models the girls worked with in the next, when the girls were overseas in Barcelona. When interviewed about it, English said that up to that point, she and her boyfriend were seeing other people, and that they had since gotten back together.

As the competition progressed, the judges began to express concern that, due to her behavior, English might be too unpredictable to be awarded the Top Model prize. Ultimately though, she was crowned the winner over runner-up Melrose Bickerstaff. The judges said they felt she had the much sought-after "X-Factor"—an intangible quality that made her a standout.

In early 2008, English was voted as one of the most memorable contestants on Top Model by AOL Entertainment Canada, which said she was the first contestant everybody knew would win from the first episode.[6]
