Interview Transcript:
Nyle: Thank you, Jasmine, for having me.
Jasmine: Hello Nyle! First of all, Congratulations on making it to the top 22! Will you also make it top 14?
Nyle: I am hoping to make it to top 14. We shall see.
Jasmine: I am very certain that you were overwhelmed with a lot of support from the both world. What was the positive outcome of first show premiere party at Red Rock in Washington, DC?
Nyle: Wow. I remembered the first day when I spoke with the manager of the restaurant at Red Rocks. We were discussing about the number of people we predicted would attend to the event. I thought maybe between 50-75 people would show up. But it turned out it was over 250 people came and I was truly inspired!
Jasmine: I am pretty certain that many people are wondering about this. When did you started shooting for America Next Top Model and how long did you have to wait until it was released?
Nyle: ANTM started shooting approximately 2 months starting last March to May. Yeah, I had to wait almost 3 months since May for this show to finally release.
Jasmine: Did you have to sign a contract to keep it confidential?
Nyle: Yes. I had to sign the confidentiality contract and agreed not to share anything related to the show. I am only allowed to share weekly episodes after they air.
Jasmine: Wow. You had to wait three months to finally share with the public. I am sure it is a difficult position to be in. Now, your name has been released all over the world now. How do you handle keeping up with social media like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, emails, and more?
Nyle: It is absolutely different than how I handled it before the TV show. I had to spend a lot more time on social media. As for Instagram account its mainly focused on business related such as posting modeling photos as much as I could. As for emails, many different ways of receiving emails either through regular emails, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and many more. I tried my best to answer as much as I could. Yes, it is time is consuming. I want to make an influence on this world, and it is through social media especially Twitter and Facebook that I can do that. This is my goal right now.

[@hal8238]

subtitle plz

[@machinedrum17]

+Sam AG its not their job to translate for you. maybe you shuold just learn their language instead?

[@hal8238]

+machinedrum17 yeah,but you know what,if i learned i still need subtitle to correct and to remember what they say, it can't be understood 100% ,if you learn French, you watch a French movie , i think English subtiele is important espacially for beginners. oh, yeah It's a myth French people never speak English, because they don't want to

[@HaunaMyKiki]

+machinedrum17 But on the other side, there are deaf/HoH people that don't know ASL (say for instance, they were mainstreamed at a young age and never had access to learning the language), so CCs would helpful to them as well.
