Samantha Potter is an American fashion model, most notable as the runner-up during Cycle 11 of America’s Next Top Model.
During the fifth episode, Samantha landed in the bottom two and was almost eliminated after offending Jeremy Scott, a designer, for lifting her skirt during his runway show. The following week, Samantha received a first call out for her natural disasters shot, and received another first callout for her simplistic and dramatic shots in the eleventh episode. In the previous week, Samantha won two reward challenges consecutively in the same episode. Throughout the competition, she was part of various feuds in the Top Model house, specifically with Elina Ivanova. She ultimately became runner-up to winner McKey Sullivan.
Since the show, Potter appeared in The Big Bang Theory in the episode “The Panty Piñata Polarization,” along with contestant Analeigh Tipton, but her role was a non-speaking one.
Samantha has walked for designers Individuals by AMFI, EиD by Eva and Delia, Ready to Fish by ilja and Addy van de Krommenacker at Amsterdam International Fashion Week 2009 as part her prize in episode 10. She has also appeared as one of the “Top Models in Action” during Cycle 12.
Samantha is currently signed with L.A. Model Management.

December 5, 2011 at 5:52 am
tottally BUMMER!!! I knew she wasn’t top model material…look what other contestants acomplished and she (being so “aclaimed” by the judges) is doing almost nothing!…ANALEIGH SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST THE RUNNER UP FOR THIS SEASON!!!

I want more pictures.
November 6, 2010 at 9:47 am
Are there more pictures of her?
November 13, 2010 at 1:16 pm
She is stupid.
(а по русски – она тупая)
November 17, 2010 at 10:53 pm
YOU are stupid!!
(а по-русски – сама ты тупая!!)
January 10, 2011 at 9:27 pm
Действительно… Сама ты тупая lena in Russia. А она просто весёлая.
November 16, 2010 at 3:55 pm
She is very stupid. I would say, she is a typical dumb blonde. It’s the truth.
March 20, 2011 at 4:37 am
I BET YOU are the DUMB one!!
November 19, 2010 at 7:02 pm
NO! Tyra said that short hair only was for THE BEST!! She is NOT STUPID! You are just envious.
November 20, 2010 at 8:09 pm
I love Sam!
November 28, 2010 at 12:13 pm
I love Sam, too. She was my bet for Cycle 11.
December 13, 2010 at 8:49 am
I didn’t like Sam at all. She was so mean to Marjorie because Marjorie was different to Sam. Plus, she was such a ham. She can take a beautiful picture but she hates people who are different and I don’t like that at all.
October 30, 2011 at 4:52 pm
If you are going to say that about Sam, the same could be said about Marjorie and Elina! Just because they weren’t born in the states, they seem to think they are better then anyone else!
January 4, 2011 at 1:08 am
She does not look like a model at all.
January 19, 2011 at 3:20 am
She wasn’t mean to Marjorie; Marjorie was just boring and annoying and cried too much. She chose to play the pity-victim-sad-nervous card and that’s why she was annoying. Love Sam. She was cool, funny, and relaxed on the show.

Sam was clearly xenophobic, not to mention a complete bore, which is exemplified by the fact that she hasn’t had any REAL work in her exposure on ANTM.
March 6, 2011 at 4:31 pm
I’m sorry, but i think she is the most forgettable runner-up in top model history. Annaleigh should’ve been in the final two.

Sam looked like a mall girl at the beginning of the competition, but once Tyra cut her hair, she turned into someone completely different! She was absolutely beautiful and she should NEVER grow her hair. To me, most blonds that model these days (especially couture models) tend to look a lot alike, as if they’d been cut from the same cookie cutter. But Sam definitely has her own look and it’s really fresh and natural. She also has a retro quality about her that’s very 60′s. She REALLY looks like those models from the 1960′s mod-era like Twiggy who waaayy over-posed but made it look good. Sam’s black & white warehouse pic is a killer. It’s very Austin Powers. And her Calvin Klein pic is stunning.

Samantha Potter was the best runner-up in top model history. She is very pretty, smart and competitive as well. I wish her all the best.
December 12, 2011 at 9:00 pm
Smart? The girl is bigoted and judgmental–how can that translate to smart? Such ignorance coupled by her assertiveness only makes her seem intelligent to people who don’t know any better… AKA, people like you.
April 10, 2011 at 11:28 pm
Very pretty girl, but a lot of the things she said made me dislike her. I wouldn’t have said she was stupid, but certainly ignorant.
April 22, 2011 at 10:56 pm
She’s not a natural infact looking at her images she’s trying tooooo hard that it looks fake.
May 14, 2011 at 12:40 am
Is that her body of work???????? :O
June 13, 2011 at 12:55 am
I couldn’t stand her!! She was such a b****!!! Very insensitive and cocky, and didn’t look like a model at all. I couldn’t believe she made it to the top 2.
June 25, 2011 at 12:46 pm
“I’m sorry, but i think she is the most forgettable runner-up in top model history. Annaleigh should’ve been in the final two.” x2
I couldn’t agree more. Nothing special about this girl.
August 3, 2011 at 3:19 am
I think that she should not have been in the final two it should have been annaleigh.
September 12, 2011 at 11:42 am
I LOVED SAM!! Her black and white photos are STELLAR! Plus, she was so positive and funny, which is why I think she clashed with Marjorie so much, because Marjorie’s also funny,, but she handled everything with a negative attitude. I love them both though.I love Sam!!
November 17, 2011 at 4:49 am
Samantha is a very smart girl. She’s really sweet and she can have her moments but she’s honest and she’s very encouraging of others. She is not a “typical” blond chic. She’s a goofball but she’s awesome not to mention beautiful and talented.
January 29, 2012 at 10:12 pm
The photo where she is covering her eye… I’ve got that picture hanging on my wall hahahaha : D
