DNTM: BEYOND THE RUNWAY EP 4 Guest: Tjamal9106 (Season 4 – 10th) #DNTM4 The lights dim as the iconic **DNTM: Beyond The Runway** set comes into view. Kali sits center stage, smiling toward the camera. Welcome back to DNTM: Beyond The Runway. Every season introduces contestants who bring something uniquely their own to the competition. Tonight's guest was someone who wasn't afraid to be creative, take inspiration from fashion, and always put thought into every submission. Although his journey has come to an end, he leaves as a Top 10 finisher with plenty of memorable moments. Please welcome our eliminated model... Tjamal! Tjamal enters the stage to applause and takes his seat beside Kali. When your name was called for elimination, what was going through your mind? Tjamal: My first thought was, *this was fun*, but it was definitely stressful. And making the Top 10 is something I'm really proud of. Looking back, is there anything you would have done differently during your time in the competition? Tjamal: I'd definitely take more risks and stop overthinking so much. There were so many moments where I'd get into my own head, but honestly, I don't regret a thing. What was the biggest challenge you faced during the photoshoots or judging process? Tjamal: Like I said, overthinking was my biggest enemy. I'd have a shot I really liked, then convince myself to change it. There were also times I'd avoid something because I thought it was too risky or that the judges wouldn't understand my vision. Who do you think has the strongest potential to win this season, and why? Tjamal: The two biggest contenders right now are LequishaQ and Marilise. They've been the most consistent, and the judges have been loving their work week after week. That kind of consistency comes naturally when you're made for this. Would you play again in a future season? Tjamal: Absolutely! This was so much fun, and a redemption arc sounds pretty amazing. Lastly... who's sitting in this chair next? Tjamal: At this point, it could honestly be anyone. But if I had to guess, I'd say Zee_ That said, she's really been stepping it up lately, so I hope she proves me wrong. Tjamal, thank you for sharing your journey with us. One thing that stood out throughout your time in DNTM was your willingness to push yourself creatively. Even when you questioned your own ideas, you consistently brought personality and ambition to your photos. Finishing in the Top 10 is an achievement to be proud of, and your journey showed just how much passion you brought to the competition. We have no doubt you'll come back even stronger if a future All-Star or redemption season comes around. Tjamal: Thank you! I had an amazing time competing, and I'm grateful to everyone who supported me throughout the season. I'll definitely be watching to see who takes home the crown. And with that, we say goodbye to **Tjamal**. Thank you all for joining us for another episode of **DNTM: Beyond The Runway**. We'll be back next time with another exclusive interview as the competition continues and the battle for the crown gets even tougher. Until then... Keep serving, keep slaying, and keep your eyes on the runway. Dimitra Jane Torimarie
