Ann Elaine Markley (born April 11, 1983), also known as Annalaina Marks, was a contestant on cycle 3 of ANTM in 2004. She was the eleventh girl eliminated and placed fourth.
Early life[]
Ann studied at Mercyhurst College. She was an NCAA water polo player while attending.[1] She worked as a Pharmacy Technician before auditioning for the show.
ANTM[]
On the show, Ann was mostly known for having some of the strongest modeling potential in the cast according to the judges, but was often criticized for her lack of ability in pictures. She constantly escaped elimination thanks to this potential.
She was also known for her complicated friendship with Eva. When the finalists first got to the house, Ann started sobbing to Eva about not sharing a room together. In episode four, Amanda accused Eva of stealing her healing crystals, with Ann butting in, leading to Jennipher arguing with her, until Jennipher pushed Ann into the hallway. In a later episode, Ann and Eva try to pull a prank on Cassie by writing "Clean your shit" in the brownies she made, to Cassie's anger.
She was in the bottom two the very first week, and saved over Leah. She was in the bottom two again in episode six, and again saved over Kelle. Her third bottom two was in episode eight with Toccara. She was saved again to the shock of the other girls and the anger of Tyra. She was bottom two for the fourth time with Norelle, and finally eliminated against Eva in episode twelve. When she said her goodbye's, she only hugged Yaya and Amanda and walked right by Eva.
