Giselle Linette Samson was a contestant on cycle 1 of ANTM in 2003. She was the fifth girl eliminated and placed sixth.
ANTM[]
Giselle was best known for her confidence issues on the show. After eight girls were selected to move into the penthouse, Giselle and Tessa were brought in as surprise contestants by Tyra. In episode two, Giselle was the winner of the runway challenge.
Giselle frequently clashed with Ebony in the house. In episode four, she asked Ebony to stop using so much skin moisturizer as she was getting oil everywhere and making all the doorknobs slippery. Later, the girls who didn't win the acting challenge were asked to clean the house while those who did were given massages. Ebony said Giselle didn't do as much work as the others, and even asked one of the workers to give her a quick shoulder rub.
Ebony and Giselle were in the bottom two that episode, with Giselle's lack of confidence being a problem. She was saved over Ebony. Next episode, Giselle told Tyra during the Reebok shoot that she didn't think she did a good job. Tyra put her in the bottom two again with Elyse, and eliminated Giselle for still having no confidence.
