ANTM Experience

As a finalist on America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 6, Furonda started as a strong competitor. She won the challenge wherein the girls had to use, with young comedian Nick Cannon, what they learned from an improvisation workshop at The Groundlings. Her prize was a guest appearance on the popular CW series, Veronica Mars and the chance to be on a public service announcement about HIV prevention. Despite doing very well on the photo and video shoots, Furonda fell to the bottom two after the “Venus Razor” photo shoot in Bangkok, Thailand, and was ultimately eliminated because she could not follow instructions well. She was the ninth finalist to be sent home.

After being eliminated from the show, Furonda received a contract from LA Models. She has walked the runway for the Absolut Fashion Show 2006.
