Erin Wagner was a contestant and runner up during Cycle 13 of ANTM.
A native of Kenosha, Wisconsin, this 18-year-old was a student who resided in Spring Grove, Illinois during her time on America’s Next Top Model. Taking a break from her education, she decided to pursue her modeling career by becoming one of the contestants for America’s Next Top Model’s, Cycle 13.
Erin is a self confessed “total nerd” who enjoys playing video games such as Pokemon. She also loves the Internet and the online culture. In interviews, she’s said, “No matter whether I win, I’ll leave the contest with a lot of contacts in the industry.” Prior to the competition a nervous Erin has stated “I’m gonna play the game, and I’m gonna win the game. Because I’m good at games, games are easy.”
Erin was a strong front runner during her time on the show, being consistently called in the top six with the best photos. She also won two reward challenges toward the end of the series. Her performance began declining after episode 6 and she fell to the bottom two four times in a row before she was eliminated with Jennifer An during episode 11.
Many viewers in ANTM forums commented that they began to look at Erin differently after the models arrived in Hawaii, due to her increased arrogance and slight ungrateful nature. After winning a reward challenge, she wasn’t happy with her prize, a helicopter tour of the island, because she wanted a tangible prize like jewelry.
Since the show, Erin has signed with Wilhelmina Models, and has done some test shots. She can be seen in an ad for Editor’s Closet for sunglasses, as well.

I love Erin! She is so talented!
January 15, 2011 at 1:15 am
Erin was awful. She wasn’t a nice person at all; and with that attitude, she won’t get far. In all of her pics, she looks miserable; like a spoiled brat.
October 23, 2011 at 8:57 pm
Hi I’m a relative of Erin. And to be honest, you are a bitch. You need to check yourself before you go trolling all over someone you don’t even know. Erin was portrayed as a completely different person on the show than the person she is in real life. You would know that if you were even remotely talented enough to get on a show like ANTM. But boo…you’re not, so get over yourself.
November 30, 2011 at 3:16 pm
YES!
April 14, 2012 at 1:13 am
when i watched erin i thought she was amazing she should have won i loved everything about erin in this cycle she is so pretty aswell wish i was her.
July 18, 2012 at 6:05 am
Gosh then only time she was a little bad is when she said she wanted a stuff not a plane ride I loved her!!! She was awsome and beautiful!
August 12, 2012 at 1:25 am
erin was one of the prettiest girls on antm along with allison harvard and brittani kline and jessica serfaty so dont dis these girls
March 12, 2011 at 2:52 am
Yes! I think one day she will be a brain surgeon!
August 9, 2010 at 7:46 pm
She was a cutthroat competitor. When she pulled Sundai in Walmart, that was wrong. It showed her diminished confidence. I didn’t much care for her after than whole excercise.
October 9, 2010 at 1:31 am
Doesn’t she look like Mena Suvari!
January 2, 2011 at 7:52 am
Mena was the first person I thought of when I saw Erin for the first time. Deadringer!
October 30, 2010 at 6:22 am
She’s so beautiful. She does look like Mena Suvari, i loved her even more when they changed her hair color. It just totally suits her look.
November 4, 2010 at 4:09 am
I think she should have gone home instead of Sundai because Sundai’s photo was a whole lot better.
June 19, 2011 at 11:57 am
In reality, she was the most versatile and high fashion model. The only thing she would have really sucked at is catalog/commercial type of stuff, and even then she wouldn’t have been that bad. Yes, she had a bad personality, but that doesn’t meant she was a bad model, just that she’s a bad person. Go read up on Naomi Campbell, she’s notorious for being a complete bitch, but even then she’s still a rich supermodel.
November 4, 2010 at 10:05 am
In my opinion, Erin was the best of the whole lot. What she did was wrong in Walmart and her confidence went down after she did the Cover Girl commercial. But she brought it back up when it was final 4 and it was too late.
December 4, 2010 at 2:59 pm
Erin was the best. I think so. Her photos is amazing, her face is very beautiful.
December 27, 2010 at 1:13 am
Really beautiful girl. Erin was always my fave from this cycle along with the gorgeous Nicole!
December 28, 2010 at 4:53 am
I’m surprised Erin has so many fans. Usually the person who complains the most, has fits, and is generally ungrateful aren’t the most like. She complained about everything, and the first challenge she won she was like “I wish I would have gotten a better prize” What?!
Also I don’t think her look is that original. She sort of reminds me of a blonde Selena Gomez and of course Mena Suvari. However, I always did like Erin’s shots.
January 16, 2011 at 11:21 am
I Pearsonally loved Erin. She was the strongest girl in the house. Yes, she was a feirce competitor, but that showed me how much she wanted it. If you stand back and be to nice you won’t get anywhere. Erin inspired me. She took the most beautiful pictures in the house. She is memorable and she taught me just beacuse im short doesn’t mean i can’t get anywhere in life. Thank you, Erin!!
September 23, 2013 at 10:02 pm
“if you stand back and be nice you won’t get anywhere?” That’s total bull. For an example, just look at Nicole and Laura. Neither of them were whiny or complained about ‘bad prizes’ or dissed other girls in the house and they were final two and Nicole won! They were the sweetest girls in the house. It proves you don’t have to be a brat or bitch to get ahead in life.
January 18, 2011 at 4:35 pm
She look like Selena Gomez with platinum blonde hair.
January 19, 2011 at 4:01 am
I liked her, but she was a little bit cocky. But she did take better photos.
January 25, 2011 at 12:40 am
I really wanted to see Erin in a CoverGirl ad.
January 27, 2011 at 4:58 pm
I LOVE ERIN !! She’s so beautiful and takes amazing pictures. She was my favorite in this cycle .
February 8, 2011 at 6:59 pm
Erin was the best! I really wanted her to win. And yes, it was wrong what she did in Walmart, but we don’t have to forget that it was a game and everyone wanted to win. So Erin, I’m from the Netherlands and you are also famous here! 😉
March 3, 2011 at 5:20 pm
She is a blonde Selena Gomez. 🙂 I think that she is a pretty girl, but I think that she is not a good person.
March 4, 2011 at 12:13 am
Sorry, I hate to see my hometown of Kenosha mention in connection to this nasty little whiner.
March 5, 2011 at 4:30 am
Yes, she was a brat, but as a competitor, she was amazing. Beautiful, unique face and took beautiful pictures. She wasn’t there to make friends, she was there to win. Hopefully shes matured since the show.
March 19, 2011 at 10:32 pm
One of my all time favs.
March 24, 2011 at 8:56 am
I do agree Erin is quite a whiner and a b*tch sometimes, but she really is amazing throughout the entire challenge. She looks really fabulous in all her photos.
March 26, 2011 at 7:37 am
Somehow she resembles Selena Gomez. ❤
April 2, 2011 at 10:50 pm
She is very beautiful. She had to win.
May 10, 2011 at 12:14 am
Erin is very pretty, but the BITCH in her erases the beauty completely!
June 13, 2011 at 6:04 am
I couldve sworn she was on the advertisement for Frederick Fekkai or maybe its just a girl who looks just like her.
July 17, 2011 at 7:01 pm
I love erin! I saw a bonus clip on laura’s b-day, she was the one who did most of the preparations! And, she’s gorgeous. She was just edited to look like a bad girl.
July 30, 2011 at 6:46 pm
Erin is just young at the time of ANTM cycle 13… and part of being young is committing mistakes… but i think she’s not as bad as many critics commented about her… and i believe when she would become more mature someday… she would be a very good model.. i believe in Erin Wagner 🙂
August 18, 2011 at 5:05 am
Erin is a good model, but she hasn’t a good personality. I don’t like her and for me she has be eliminated before than she really was!!!
September 4, 2011 at 11:59 pm
yes erin’s a bitch…ok, what else? she’s fierce and SOOO editorial. and in the real world of modeling there’s no flowers and rainbows. everyone is cut throat, u have to be that way when u’re in such a competitive industry. as long as she knows how to hide her bitchiness in front of clients ect then she’s all good.
September 23, 2011 at 12:05 am
She takes great pictures, but her personality needed improvement when she was on ANTM.
November 26, 2011 at 7:46 pm
she’s like allison! :))
December 3, 2011 at 8:29 am
you look like selena gomez
February 24, 2012 at 3:39 am
ummm i think erin was great and so what if she complained? everyone does get over it! Erin was great!
February 25, 2012 at 2:19 pm
I met erin today and she was really sweet to me even though I sounded like a dork and accidentally called her short. She just smiled and seemed really laid back. Don’t believe everything you see on tv. Not to mention she was 18 at the time, I mean what 18 year old away from home for the first time isn’t bratty?
March 16, 2012 at 2:55 am
I think Erin looks a lot better with the natural look pre-makeover. The white blonde look makes her look odd.
Not a fan of her personality. She came across as way too entitled and arrogant so I couldn’t like her no matter how good her photos were.
March 30, 2012 at 10:10 pm
Yawn, what was with this cycle and immature teenage brats? Foul temper, the way she behaved at the Covergirl shoot actually had me in shock. That’s what she got for not spending time on the task, if it was real life she would have been sent home and never picked up from that client ever again.
I don’t get how on Earth she was saved from the bottom 2 like 3 times in a row. That’s a mess.
July 18, 2012 at 6:06 am
Haha she is awsome! Haha I loved her and she was just a little young amazing model haha
September 14, 2012 at 7:59 pm
I think she was a pretty model, but immature when it came to the walmart challenge, and then whining about her prize when she won the challenge..I can see being competitive, but to pull on someone during the challenge was inexcusable..
March 9, 2013 at 10:53 am
oh god erin stunning love you soooooo much your pretty beautiful i love you do you have a website ?
March 25, 2013 at 3:54 pm
erin just so pretty and i love her so much she always make me smile so fab and so innocent face love her…..
March 26, 2013 at 11:43 pm
This girl has such a big talent!!! When the changed her hair and eyebrows, she became a high fashion model 🙂 Love you girl, you were and you will always be one of my favorites !!! ❤
October 31, 2013 at 6:49 am
To me, she’s not model material. Her look is kinda ugly to me. I honestly don’t understand the hype.
November 3, 2013 at 10:46 am
i really love erin’s portfolio….shes a high fashion model 🙂
January 24, 2014 at 8:16 pm
Erin was awful. Yuck. I agree, what a brat. And her family members response, just as nasty. Must run in the family!
January 25, 2014 at 3:26 pm
I somehow missed cycle 13. Erin was just 18 in 2008. She has had 5 years to grow, to mature, to see just how unimportant pidley jewelry, etc. is compared to meaningful life experiences. It is such a shame you did not allow yourself to enjoy the helicopter ride in Hawaii. I lived there for a few years, and I treasured every day. Like everyone else, it takes awhile to gain perspective. I look back at my “I am all grown up, this and that is not fair” self and just chuckle. Best of luck to you Erin!
August 17, 2015 at 5:00 pm
I think Erin models for Nasty Gal…perfect eh! She should have won…she’ll go far…IMO…
