America's Next Top Model

Rozova was the thirteenth (initially the last until Dominique Reighard was added to the cast) girl to be selected. The judges often praised Rozova's bubbly personality and high fashion appeal for the tenth cycle of America's Next Top Model . Rozova started off strong in the beginning of the competition, receiving the first call-out, which would be her first of five. In the third episode, Rozova received a makeover that changed her naturally brown, wavy hair to platinum blonde. Rozova won three challenges, including a nude photoshoot photographed by Nigel Barker and also won the opportunity to appear in a 7Up advertisement with an "Au Naturale" theme, receiving $10,000 from 7Up. Rozova received a dress by Gai Mattiolo as her third challenge prize. Series viewers voted Rozova "Covergirl of the Week" for week 10.

Chosen as a finalist, Rozova participated in a mock Versace fashion show in Rome against fellow competitor Whitney Thompson. She was also the third contestant to never be in the bottom two. During the final judging, the judges criticized Rozova for being too restrained in the fashion show and she lost to Thompson thus making her the twelfth girl eliminated (finishing as the runner-up and second in overall rank since fellow contestant Kimberly Rydzewski quit the competition in episode two making Atalya Slater the first girl to be eliminated).
