America's Next Top Model

On the show, Lisa was portrayed as the girl with the most outrageous personality. Lisa was shown by cameras to be a heavy drinker, and performed several odd things, including talking to a shrub she named "Cousin It" and urinating in an adult diaper in front of the other contestants.

She was considered the front-runner on this season's America's Next Top Model until she was eliminated

The Top Model judges eliminated D'Amato seventh, as they perceived her spitfire confidence as arrogance, although her pictures and personality had always been considered some of the strongest of the contestants.It is speculated that Lisa was eliminated because her face was "not right for modeling, not even catalog modeling".

Lisa has shown discontent with her elimination and the show in general, having written so in a blog . "I didn't want anyone to win! I wanted them to run after me and say they made a mistake. Truly, I knew I was the best one all around. And the one photo shoot that I got eliminated on proved to me in my heart that it was rigged, and just bull-shit and I'll tell you why.... For the photo shoot, it was the phone booth. I was the last girl to shoot, when I was done J Manuel lined all the girls up and said Lisa did the best, she was so playful. (He then) told the girls that we were the final 6 and they needed to pick up the pace like Lisa's doing. Then proceeds to show them the poses I was doing with the facial expressions(mine you they couldn't see because they were behind me) and then said "YOU ALL GET MORE FRAMES EXCEPT FOR YOU LISA!!! and that was the one I was eliminated on.......? And with the paparazzi photo.... the one they showed while actually taping in London was good. The one they showed on TV-BAD! They switched it out so it would make more sense to viewers. But, actually I took a good picture. So, the girls got to shoot again where as I didn't. Unfair. So, you see I don't know what to think about the whole thing. Also, if I was eliminated because of my big personality, why did they tell me everytime I asked we are only judged on our pictures and the challenges- not our character!!! Thats what they told me over and over and over and over!!!!! What would you think about this If it were you in my shoes? I mmeeeaaannn..... right!"

"I know that if they knew that I wasn't going to win, they had to not let me get to top 3 because they knew that my performance would've been awesome especially because they knew that I excelled under pressure! And then it would of [sic] been more of a contraversy [sic] because I wouldn't of [sic] won. Thats [sic] the fucking truth! Sucks huh? Thats why I was eliminated so early!"

D'Amato won an award from "The Reality Remix Really Awards" for "Favorite Altered State".
