Britain's Next Top Model

Why did they pick this photo? It wasn't the best shot.

Musayeroh's is Eliminated from BNTM

Supermodel Lisa Snowdon is putting another 14 girls to the test, and it's all in the hope of becoming Britain's Next Top Model. 20-year-old Musayeroh Barrie was the second girl to be eliminated in the "ultra-bitchy and uber-glamorous" cycle 4 BNTM competition, but she's not hanging up her high fashion hat quite yet. Here, she explains the ugly reality of reality TV.

I don't think the shot they picked was my best shot. When you're on the shoot, you have a feeling about how well you did and what shot you think they're going to pick. I was really disappointed to get into that elimination room and see that picture because I was just warming up when they took that picture. I didn't think it was my best shot at all.

When you watch the show at home, it looks like a fairy tale or a dream. I didn't expect it to be the way it was. You're with cameras 24/7 and you're always self-critical. I thought it would be a more natural process than what it actually was.

When I first got in the house, I wasn't really bothered by being the only black girl there. I thought it gave me an advantage because my look was completely different - whether I worked hard or not on the shoot, they weren't going to tell me that I looked the same. But the more we went through the shoots - maybe because I was getting a lot of criticism - I started thinking that what I have is not what they were looking for.

I think I have a model in me, I just feel it. It's a passion. It's not something that goes away because you got negative comments or had a bad experience. I'm still going for it and I'm looking for anyone who is willing to mentor me; someone who sees some potential in me and thinks, 'this girl can work.'

Predictions: Top Model

Personality matters in the sense that you need to have the confidence and you have to have the strength to actually physically be in that house.

You've got to have personality in the sense that you've got to take criticism on the chin, don't be too down about it, accept it and move on and I think that's what they're looking for in terms of personality.

If I had to pick the winner, I'd say Catherine because she was my best friend in the house.
