America's Next Top Model
Evans was thought by the judges to be one of the front-runners in the competition, noted for her striking face. It was not until the second half of the contest that she came under criticism for her heavy southern accent, which the judges felt was problematic, as the competition winner would shoot commercials for Covergirl; however, they acknowledged that she could work with a speech coach to eradicate her accent. In the finale, the judges were torn, with some of the judges preferring fellow finalist Joanie Dodds's versatile portfolio, while others (notably judge Nigel Barker) preferring Evans's "signature look." However, they felt Evans had the stronger in-person presence and commanded the final catwalk as well as having a stunning portfolio. Evans's charisma and charm edged out Dodds, and she was crowned the winner of the sixth cycle of America's Next Top Model.
“ I am the winner of America's Next Top Model, my life has officially changed. My mother's going to be so happy right now... right now it kinda doesn't seem real to me because I've had so many struggles and I've had a hard knock life... we don't have to struggle anymore. I'm a CoverGirl, Mommy! ” She has been voted by Top Model Obsessed viewers as their favorite contestant ever.
