==''America's Next Top Model''==
Joseph was the sixth contestant to be selected to participate on [[America's Next Top Model, Cycle 7|the seventh cycle]] of ''[[America's Next Top Model]]'' and was told at casting by host [[Tyra Banks]] that she was one of the most physically beautiful contestants to ever participate in the competition. While she was often praised for the quality of her portfolio, her lack of self-confidence was often noted by the judging panel. Over her stay, Joseph was voted CoverGirl of the Week by the viewers twice in a row. After refusing to fully participate in a challenge that required her to perform a task while portraying a random emotion (dance aggressively), the judges eliminated Joseph seventh (finishing seventh in overall rank) in [[Los Angeles]] during her only ever bottom two appearance which Michelle Babin had survived for the first time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tvguide.com/news/americas-model-anchal-41185.aspx |title=America's Next Top Model: Anchal Plays the Blame Game - Today's News: Our Take |publisher=TVGuide.com |date=2006-11-15 |access-date=2012-11-27}}</ref> Joseph stirred some controversy when she made comments about the fact that people with lighter hair, skin or eyes were perceived as better looking in India, when asked about her blue contacts by [[Tyra Banks]], and that she wanted to persevere through those stereotypes.<ref name=":1" />
