Have you ever watched America’s Next Top Model? Who was your favorite contestant?
The funny thing about ANTM is that most of its contestants rarely had a career in the fashion world. Some have switched to commercial modeling while some on television. Some even opted out of the spotlight to live a normal life although there are a number who have made their way to into a modeling success. So, where are they now?

Many of us may have probably thought that Katarzyna Dolinska had the potential of winning the whole competition because of her extraordinary beauty. But no, she didn’t. She didn’t even reach the final three spots of Cycle 10 and that’s due to her lack of personality. But that doesn’t matter now, does it? Katarzyna, also named as “Kat Doll”, became one of the most successful ANTM contestants with appearances in Vogue Australia, Cosmopolitan Greece, Italian Glamour, Women’s Wear Daily.
