ANTM

Cycle 11

Sheena was known for being deemed too hoochie by the judges. In episode three, there was a posing challenge were the girls had to sell a purse. Sheena put one of her legs over her head and placed the purse in between her crotch. Later, she was ridiculed by Mr. Jay for using only her buttocks to hold onto the ladder of the hot air balloon photoshoot. At panel, she was asked if her breasts were real, to which she denied. She then asked to come back forward to admit her lying. Tyra commended her honesty. She was put in the bottom two in episode eight for her overt sexiness, but was saved over Lauren Brie for her vibrant personality.

She was also known for butting heads with Elina and Marjorie. She thought that they, as European immigrants, were using this as an excuse to complain about the American girls. In episode nine, Elina won a challenge with the prize being a holiday spread in Seventeen. Sheena thought it was hypocritical for Elina, an atheist, to appear in this.

She was eliminated in episode ten because she had trouble controlling her face and body together, as well as inconsistency.

Cycle 17

In episode two, she was given the word "Unexpected" for her brand. Later, at makeovers, she was worried that she was going to get one, but Miss Jay was kidding. At the Pink's hot dog photoshoot, she tried to incorporate flower petals in her hot dog, but it did not work and put her in the bottom two with Kayla. She was eliminated because the judges saw more potential in Kayla than her.
