Tessa Rebecca Carlson was a contestant on cycle 1 of ANTM in 2003, where she was the first girl to be eliminated.

Early Life

Before the show, Tessa appeared in the movie "A-Game" in 2002.

She born in Saint Louis, MO.

ANTM

After eight girls were selected to be in the penthouse, Tessa was brought in with Giselle as 2 surprise contestants. Her main moment in the house was bonding with Adrianne about being the only two smokers in the cast. When they both smoke in a corner, Robin confronts them and asks them to take it outside, to which Tessa responds "Great, this is all I need".

At the first photoshoot, Tessa was visibly uncomfortable with the bikini she was wearing and later told the judges at panel she didn't like wearing revealing clothing. Janice Dickinson questioned this, asking why she was here because models often wear that type of clothing. She was sent home over Shannon.
