Season 7: CariDee English is just getting started after winning season seven, and so far she’s guest starred on The CW’s “One Tree Hill.” But her journey to fame was far from glamorous. During the modeling competition, CariDee admitted to being suicidal. After floating in icy water for one of the challenges, she suffered hypothermia symptoms. The judges weren’t sure if they wanted her to represent Top Model because she was “too unpredictable and unstable.”
