Washington was the fourth (after Melrose Bickerstaff, Jaeda Young and Michelle Babin) girl to be selected for the seventh cycle of America's Next Top Model. Over her stay, Washington received one first call-out and survived the bottom two twice over Monique Calhoun and Brooke Miller who were both eliminated in their only ever bottom two appearance upon Washington's stay. She also won three challenges where two of them Washington selected CariDee English and Jaeda Young after winning the Covergirl challenge and Amanda Babin after winning the flamenco dancing challenge. The judges eliminated Washington eleventh (finishing third in overall rank) in Barcelona during her third collective bottom two appearance which Melrose Bickerstaff had survived for the second time round (the first being over Christian Evans who was the first eliminee) after CariDee English was selected to be the first finalist and eventually won.
