Television work ''America's Next Top Model'' Siad was the second (after Allison Kuehn) girl to be selected for the
tenth cycle of ''
America's Next Top Model''. The judges eliminated Siad twelfth (since fellow contestant Kimberly Rydzewski quit the competition in episode two making Atalya Slater the first girl to be eliminated) in
Rome during her fourth bottom two appearance which
Whitney Thompson had survived for the fourth time and eventually won. Over her stay, Siad received three first call-outs and won one challenge, in which she received 50 extra frames for her photo shoot. Siad was criticized for not being able to take direction well. She was given long, chestnut brown extensions as part of her makeover. Siad missed a photo shoot, unable to get travel documents which she allegedly lost in
Atlanta. That almost cost her the competition, as she landed in the bottom two along with Stacy-Ann Fequiere, but a stronger, improving portfolio saved her. Siad also survived the bottom two over Amis Jenkins and Dominique Reighard. In one interview, Siad stated that she felt that the show was a joke and thought Claire Unabia, Lauren Utter, Katarzyna Dolinska or Anya Rozova should have won or at least not have been eliminated as early as they were. She also stated that the show may be based on politics. Siad was the last girl featured in the
Top Models in Action segment that aired during
Cycle 12.
