The Reality Show You Didn't Know Stephen Amell's Wife Was On

In "America's Next Top Model" Cycle 5, which debuted in 2005, one of the many beautiful hopefuls was Cassandra Jean Amell, who at that point went by the last name Whitehead, via IMDb. Though it gave her an opportunity to become a star, Amell became at odds with the show's direction. One of the hardest adjustments was changing her look. During Cassandra's time in the competition, the long-locked beauty queen had the unfortunate luck to receive an extreme "ANTM" makeover in the form of a pixie cut.

"They wanted me to act edgy and punk and to stop being so classy. They told me that I needed to hunch and slouch and give attitude ... I think it's important that you act like a lady," she said in an interview for TV Guide at the time. As a result, Cassandra quit the show after her chop and planned to continue participating in beauty pageants.
