20-year-old Danielle Evans is proof that dreams really come true. Come on in here, Danielle. This Arkansas native beat out some pretty stiff competition to become America's Next Top Model.

And before she hits the runway, she's stopped by our buzzer¹. How are you and congratulations!

Thank you. I'm great, I mean, I'm the new face of CoverGirl. What can I say, my life has completely changed. Just amazing.

Now, you were watching the past 5 seasons before you ever(Right.) got on this show.(Right.) Did you ever imagine that this would be you? And you've overcome some pretty amazing obstacles. You were dehydrated, you were sick in Thailand; you've changed your look a little bit. Tell us what Tyra has done for you.

Um, Tyra has done a lot for me. She's like a mentor² to me, you know, she's giving me advice personally as well as, you know, modeling advice and I mean the experience was amazing. NO, I never thought in a million years, I would be standing³ here talking with you, you know, being the winner of America's Next Top Model, but it is great.

Now you had a thick Arkansas beautiful southern drawl. That's changed. Tell me about that. You guys had a pretty heated discussion over that and, and your teeth. Yeah, Talk us, talk to us about that.

Well, I'm from the south, and I'll never change who I am, I'll never deny my roots. I'll always be from the south, but I realize that to be in this industry you have to know when to turn it on and when to turn it off.(Danielle, I love you!) You know, so, it's all about compromise. Um, I didn't close the gap all the way. I still have some other which is my signature trademark⁴, so, you know.

You look beautiful (Thank you), congratulations, a 100,000-dollar contract with CoverGirl, a Ford⁵ model, you are gonna be in Elle magazine.
