Whitney Lee Thompson Forrester is an American fashion model. She was the winner of cycle 10 of ANTM in 2008.

Early Life

Before the show, Whitney worked at Chets Creek Elementary School in the before-and-after-school day care programs and studied at Duncan U. Fletcher High School, and the University of North Florida.

Thompson had been on the cover of Jacksonville magazine three times.

ANTM

Whitney was the ninth girl to be selected as one of the finalists to enter the house. She received a blonde hair weave for her makeover. Thompson received the first call-out during the music-themed photo shoot. She also won one CoverGirl of the Week title, the last of her cycle. She won three challenges, two of which with a team, during the competition.

Half of the judging panel often criticized her performances and personality as being 'too pageant' and 'fake'. Despite being featured in the bottom two a total of four times, she won the season.

She later made guest appearances in some episodes of cycle 11, and in episode six of cycle 22.
