America's Next Top Model[]
Jones was perhaps most known for her bubbly personality. As the show progressed, Tyra Banks commented that Jones resembles Cheryl Tiegs. Her photographs were generally praised by the judges, and she appeared in the bottom two only once during the competition. Jones earned a spot among the final two models along with fellow contestant Saleisha Stowers. During the final runway challenge in Beijing, China, she faced difficulty when a performer on stilts tripped on the train of her dress, which caused her to temporarily lose her composure. At the final deliberation, the judges noted Jones's high-fashion appeal, but were also impressed by Stowers' command of the final runway and her fluidity. Eventually because of her girl-next-door appeal and good looks, Stowers won the competition making Jones runner-up. Jones was featured on the September 24, 2008 broadcasting of America's Next Top Model, Cycle 11 as one of the "Top Models in Action". She also guest-starred in an episode of America's Next Top Model, Cycle 12, along with fellow Top Model contestant Bianca Golden in a runway teach.
