Abbey: So how did you come to be on Make Me A Supermodel?
Branden: Well, I went to IMTA. It's the International Modeling and Talent Association. It's a place in New York. It takes place every year, and a whole bunch of aspiring models come from around the world to go and walk in front of a bunch of agencies from around the world. And Bravo's Make Me A Supermodel was there doing a casting call, and my agency wanted me to do it, so I did it. And as soon as I walked out, I heard Jim Buff, a producer of the show, say, "Yeah, I think he's perfect for the show." So immediately then I knew that I had something going for me, and I had something to turn to, and I did it right after that. And I told them, "I'm down for it."

I don't give up and I have a competitive nature, I know what I want."
