America's Next Top Model
Linkletter appeared in Cycle 5 of the show after auditioning for the show at the Mall of America. In the final judging, the judges selected Linkletter over the runner-up Nik Pace.
Tyra said of Linkletter, "...she has the model 'thing' more than any of our other winners – the body type, the face type and the attitude,...... She reminds me of the girls I modeled with when I was in Europe when I was 17 years old." Fellow judges Twiggy and Nigel Barker likened Linkletter's look to that of an "English rose". Although she had some of the best photos of the whole competition, she often did not receive as much recognition as some of the other contestants because of her seemingly "sour" facade and not breaking from pretty to beautiful in her photos.

Famous quotes containing the word top:
“She isn’t harassed. She’s busy, and it’s glamorous to be busy. Indeed, the image of the on- the-go working mother is very like the glamorous image of the busy top executive. The scarcity of the working mother’s time seems like the scarcity of the top executive’s time.... The analogy between the busy working mother and the busy top executive obscures the wage gap between them at work, and their different amounts of backstage support at home.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
