Alexandra Agro of ANTM20

 

by Gina Scarpa and Thea Napolitano

 

No sooner did we say goodbye to Alexandra Agro that she was right back in it on America's Next Top Model. It was no surprise to see Tyra bring her back either, given her social media scores throughout the season. Last week, though, Alexandra's time in the competition was cut short yet again after a rocky photo shoot where models were asked to highlight a flaw. We caught back up with the model to find out how she's feeling after being sick at elimination, who she's rooting for, and her message to her fans.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: What was more disappointing, the first or second time you were sent home?
A. Alexandra: Probably the first time. The second time I was just proud of myself, disappointed in having to leave, but still so excited and appreciative the fans brought me back. I have so much more for them, and am so excited for everyone to see everything coming up for me.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: We saw how sick you got when it came time for elimination, how are you feeling now?
A. Alexandra: My doctor is incredible, I am so much better. I am excited to be standing for this condition (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). I have received the most touching tweets and emails, this is sort of an invisible illness. I don't blame people for not knowing really, but its time POTs patients have a voice. I can't imagine how many kids out there are misdiagnosed because so many doctors do not even know what this is!

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: What did you think about highlighting your flaws for this photo shoot?
A. Alexandra: I should be able to work anything I am given, so really there's nothing to say but obviously the huge hips was a little odd for me. Tyra has lived with her forehead for her entire life, she has learned how to work it, its a part of her. Kate Upton was born curvy, she's killed it modeling, knows all her angles and takes incredible shots. I have never had big hips so it was foreign to me.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: What are your plans now that you've been eliminated for good?
A. Alexandra: I have so much planned! I am currently living in NYC, I just booked my first cover of a magazine, about to find the agency I want to work with, and working as hard as I possibly can!

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Who are you rooting for to win?
A. Alexandra: I have so many people in the competition I adore, but NINA is my new roomie so I would say I hope she kicks some major butt and wins this!

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: What do you want to say to the fans who supported you and gave you a second chance on ANTM?
A. Alexandra: Thank you so much for still sticking by my side. I have so much more for us in store, and I am so excited to bring you all along with me.
