Last night on America’s Next Top Model, 19-year-old Sundai Love from Bakerfield, California was eliminated. Sundai just missed making the top four. She talked about her best friends in the house, why she had such a hard time with the underwater photo shoot and more!

Full Q&A below the jump!

How did you get involved in Top Model?

I watched the show, but I never thought I’d have a chance to be on it! My sister tried out every year and when they announced it was a short cycle, she went rushing down to the auditions. I went with her, tried out, and made it on the show.

Were you surprised by your elimination?

I was so surprised! It was shocking! I wasn’t suspecting it at all, even when I was in the bottom two. That’s why I was so sad when they called Erin’s name and not mine. I didn’t take it very well.

Why do you think they saved Erin three times in a row?

The judges think Erin has something special. Maybe they’re hoping she can get back to the place where she was at the beginning of the show. She had some beautiful photos then.

Now that you’re eliminated, who would you like to see win?

Definitely Laura. She as my best friend in the house and she’s the sweetest girl in the world. She wants it so bad. Plus, she has a bad background, like me.

Who else were you close to in the house?

I was close to everyone, in a way. We all got along so well, we were like a big family. But Nicole was probably my other closest friend in the house. I mean, she even picked me to get the extra frames. We got a long well.

Why did you struggle so much throughout last night’s episode?

That photo shoot was a challenge! All that water, it was tough. After jumping off the cliff, it was over! I got water in my ear and that was painful. I can’t breathe with a regulator, so that was tough. My asthma is really bad. I was having real problems and was trying to fix them. I wasn’t complaining, but it looked that way.

Why were the judges so dismissive about your asthma?

They kept saying divers have asthma and go underwater all the time. Sure they do! But they choose to! I didn’t choose to, I was made to. It’s a lot of pressure to dive off a cliff and to do a photo shoot underwater and still look pretty or cute. It was a lot to handle.

What would you have done differently?

I wouldn’t have shown my fear. I wouldn’t have told them about the asthma until after the shoot was over. I shouldn’t have looked like I was complaining so much.

What was Marisa Miller like?

No one believed it was her! We all like “nah, it can’t be!” But it was! She was so nice and helpful and gave us great advice.

Which guest judge was your favorite?

Chanel Iman. She was the sweetest person. She gave us great advice and listened to us and paid attention to us. She’s Chanel Iman, she doesn’t have to care about us, but she did! She’s one of my favorite models too, so it was great to meet her.

Which photo shoot was your favorite?

My favorite picture was the beauty shoot, but my favorite shoot was the horse shot. I love animals and that whole shoot was just so cool.

Which photo shoot was your least favorite?

The underwater one. Everyone was so tense and worried. It was crazy.

Did you keep your makeover?

No, not at all! It’s long again, like it was at the beginning of the show. I liked the idea of short hair, but the cut didn’t work. I didn’t like the style and it made me look younger.

What are your future plans?

I definitely want to keep modeling, it’s my passion. I know I’m short, but I can still do face work and beauty work and stuff.
