On last night's episode of Make Me A Supermodel, Chris received a makeover from Tabitha Coffey (of Bravo's Tabitha's Salon Takeover), participated in a photo shoot that was candy-themed, and was given the opportunity to show the panel what he could do on the runway.  Unfortunately, he failed to impress them and found himself in the bottom for the second week in a row.  Up against CJ and Gabriel for elimination, the judges ultimately decided that it was his turn to go, which most definitely surprised him.  Today, he spoke to RealityWanted in an exclusive interview about his experiences on Make Me A Supermodel and what his next step will be.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Has modeling been a dream of yours for a long time?  What made you want to try out for the second season of Make Me A Supermodel?
A. Chris: I've had aspirations to be a model since I was very young.  I would imagine myself in the pages of magazines.  I started pursuing modeling recently and it was the first thing that I pursued, as a career, that I was comfortable with.  I followed the first season of Make Me A Supermodel and watched pretty much every episode.  It was so relatable.  After each episode, I would say, "I have to be on this!"  I found out about the casting call for season 2 online and I went for it.  I figured, what did I have to lose?  I got a callback the next day.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Being a fan of the first season, were you surprised by some of the changes that were made to the show for season 2?
A. Chris: I was definitely surprised by a lot of the changes this season.  I was happy that Tyson was our mentor because it was great to have him there.  I wasn't completely thrilled with the panel this year just because I really liked the panel from last season.  I was also disappointed that Nikki wasn't back this season.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: When you watch the show back, what do you think went wrong for you?
A. Chris: The first week, I had things that I needed to work on.  Being in the bottom, I was able to get some 1-on-1 time with the judges which was actually a good thing because it gave me insight.  I didn't argue with anything they said.  Going into the second week, I tried to improve and I thought I was improving.  I loved my candy picture.  I had never done anything like that before and it was so much fun.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: The show brought in Bravo star Tabitha Coffey to do your makeovers this week.  She is obviously a strong personality.  What did you think of her, when you met her in person and did you like your makeover?
A. Chris: I loved Tabitha!  She does have a strong personality but I feel like I identified with her.  She's not afraid to say what's on her mind and I admire that.  I liked my makeover.  The cut and color were great.  My hair was really long and blonde before and I liked it at the time but the makeover just made it better.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Were you surprised that you were eliminated so early on in the competition?
A. Chris: Of course I was surprised.  There was no way I could not have been.  Watching the show, I thought I had made improvements.  There were other people that made me say, "Why are they keeping these guys?"  Some of the girls just looked like a million other girls.  I thought I brought something unique to the table.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Do you plan to continue modeling and will you do so in L.A. or New York?
A. Chris: I'm going to New York.  Once we were there for the show, I realized that that's where I want to be.  I'm a city boy and New York is the ultimate city.
