Aftermath
After winning the competition, Muizelaar appeared on the cover of Canadian wedding magazine SPOSA, which also included a spread. She appeared in CoverGirl campaign ads and also did a publicity mall tour after the show's finale, mostly at Sears stores, but four months after the winning, Muizelaar announced she was leaving the modeling world.
Muizelaar initially stated that modeling was "not the best thing out there".[7] It was eventually revealed that it was due to her struggles with anorexia, noting that there was pressure to remain skinny, as she was often told "how good [she] looked at [her] skinniest". Ever since leaving modeling, she started to gain back the weight she lost during her eating disorder days.[8] Additionally, although she initially stated that she booked most of the jobs she went for,[7] she then stated that winning the show actually brought her few opportunities,[9] and also noted that the winnings were subject to income tax.[8][9][10]
