America's Next Top Model

edit

America's Next Top Model Cycle 5

edit

In fall 2005, Scullark was the fifth girl (after Cassandra Jean, Nik Pace, Kyle Kavanagh and Ashley Black) to be selected to participate on the fifth cycle of the UPN reality television show America's Next Top Model. She is perhaps best known for her raspy, sultry voice and spunky personality. Over her stay, she won two challenges, was voted Covergirl of the Week twice in a row and received one first call-out before going to London. Scullark was involved in a memorable argument with fellow contestant Nicole Linkletter when she accused Linkletter of stealing her granola bar, and retaliated by disposing of all of Linkletter's Red Bull energy drinks down the drain in the bathroom which Kim Stolz mediated and questioned Scullark if she was going to replace whatever she had taken away. Scullark refused to talk civilly until they reconciled during a day out in London when they were paired together, originally to their dismay. In 2011, Lisa D'Amato confessed that she had stolen the granola bar despite claiming nine years later her confession was all a hoax for humor. Scullark was placed in the bottom two four times for (on each occasion) her inability to handle the cutthroat modelling industry, her potential to be high fashion rather than doing great at commercial, her unprofessional behavior at the photo-shoot and at panel (despite a very strong photo) and for not elongating her height in the Bollywood photo-shoot however she had survived over Diane Hernandez, Kyle Kavanagh, Kim Stolz and Jayla Rubinelli, respectively. Despite her strong improvement, the judges eliminated Scullark tenth (finishing third in overall rank since fellow contestant Cassandra Jean quit the competition in episode four) during her fifth collective (also her third consecutive in London) bottom two appearance as she was seen weaker than the other two competitors Nik Pace (who was the first selected finalist) and Nicole Linkletter who survived over Scullark and eventually won.

America's Next Top Model Cycle 7

edit

Scullark appeared in episode four of Cycle 7 to critique the models on their walks which led to A.J. Stewart winning the runway challenge and chose Megg Morales and eventual winner CariDee English to share the prize.

America's Next Top Model Cycle 8

edit

Scullark appeared in a Cycle 8 episode posing in a photograph with eventual winner Jaslene Gonzalez in regards to her missing granola bar. Fellow Cycle 5 competitor Kim Stolz was also present for this shoot.

America's Next Top Model Cycle 17: All-Stars

edit

She was selected to return to America's Next Top Model along with former fellow contestant Lisa D'Amato to both represent their Cycle together on the first All-Star edition of the show along with twelve other returning models. Scullark became the fifth eliminated overall in the competition after she was eliminated in her only bottom two appearance on the All-Star cycle which former Cycle 16 contestant Alexandria Everett had survived for the second time.[4]
