Tash Lee Wells was a contestant on cycle 23 of ANTM in 2016. She was originally the fourth girl eliminated, placing twelfth. She was later brought back as the comeback contestant in episode nine. She was eliminated again two episodes later and placed sixth.

Early Life[]

Before the show, Tash worked as a waitress at the Woodland restaurant. She attended San Jose City College where she majored in sociology.

ANTM[]

In auditions, the twins stated that Tash was the girlier one while Cody was the tomboy. Tash was the fifth girl called to the final cast, while Cody was the very last. They were best known for their hatred of Courtney. In episode three, she asked them if they could leave the room for peace and quiet, since she was sick. This led to them yelling at her with Marissa joining them.

Later, Tash was upset at makeovers for having a fade while Cody got a weave, since they're both a direct contrast to their styles. In episode four, she did the worst job at the Instagram Paper magazine story, with the judges thinking her photos looked cheap. She was eliminated over CoryAnne. In episode nine, which was the comeback week, Tash won the dancing challenge among the already eliminated girls. She later was deemed the best at the music video shoot and won a spot back into the competition, replacing Marissa.

The next episode, she tied for first call-out with India at the celebrity impersonations photoshoot. This sparked anger with Cody, who always thought Tash got more praise than her throughout their lives. In the following episode, she vented to Rita Ora when she visited the house, with Tash defending herself saying she thought the same about Cody. All the other girls were mad that they made the chat with Rita all about them. Later, Tash struggled during the Paper magazine cover shoot, and was eliminated again over Courtney.[1]
