00:00Previously on America's Next Top Model, Shandy and her boyfriend tried to deal with the distance
00:08between them.
00:09I miss my boyfriend, but then I thought, I'm here, I'm gonna have a good time, I don't
00:12care.
00:13Pack your bags, y'all.
00:14You're going to Milan!
00:15The girls check some Milan and get tested right away.
00:18Quickly, please.
00:19I do have experience.
00:20No.
00:21Okay.
00:22Bye.
00:23Harsh Italian criticism rattle Ioana.
00:25They said you have to work on your body.
00:27I'm gonna leave.
00:28And in the last elimination.
00:30She wants to know why you walk like this.
00:31This is my signature walk and this is what's going to make me famous.
00:34It was Camille who was sent home.
00:37Only four girls remain who will be eliminated tonight.
00:41They said you have to work on your body.
00:42They said you have to work on your body.
00:43They said you have to work on your body.
00:44They said you have to work on your body.
00:45They said you have to work on your body.
00:46They said you have to work on your body.
00:47They said you have to work on your body.
00:48They said you have to work on your body.
00:49They said you have to work on your body.
00:50They said you have to work on your body.
00:51They said you have to work on your body.
00:52They said you have to work on your body.
00:53They said you have to work on your body.
00:54They said you have to work on your body.
00:55They said you have to work on your body.
00:56They said you have to work on your body.
00:57They said you have to work on your body.
00:58They said you have to work on your body.
00:59I'm tired, but every day that passes by here is another day that we're closer to our dreams.
01:27Every day is more intimidating, a little bit more stressful.
01:32Sensualita, belleza y eleganza. Find out what these words mean today. Be ready to leave at 12.15.
01:41The witch is gone. Camille left home. Just kidding.
01:45So it's down to four. Iwana, April, me, and Shandy.
01:50Where the hell are my boots? Have you seen my boots?
01:54The elimination last night.
01:55Mercedes, congratulations.
01:57To be handed this picture, I'm like, oh my god, I gotta stop up the pace.
02:01St. Patrick, please protect me.
02:03You should pray to St. Anthony, too. He's the...
02:05He's really fine.
02:06My challenge is to tone my tummy. I haven't really been keeping up with it as much as I should.
02:11But would it be bad luck to create him before I've lost something?
02:13I want this so bad. I want to be a model.
02:16But I overanalyze. I know that's my weakness.
02:18If I pushed you, would you fall over?
02:20I miss being home and seeing my boyfriend.
02:23But then at the same time, a huge part of me wants to become America's next top model.
02:27Let's go, chicas!
02:29This is a real competition.
02:31You know, no matter how much you like that girl standing next to you, she's trying to beat you.
02:34Hello?
02:47Hello.
02:48Hello.
02:49I'm here.
02:50I'm Stephen Fairchild. I'm going to give you a kiss.
02:53Stephen Fairchild is an incredible designer.
02:56We go into the showroom and there's luscious fabrics.
02:58Hello?
02:59Stephen Fairchild. I'm like, oh god, wait, I think I know this one.
03:02Inside, his showroom is beautiful. It's my style if I, you know, could dress polka-toe or whatever.
03:08What I'm really going to do is teach you Italian fashion.
03:11The sensuality of it, the sexuality of it, it's going to be determined on what are your good assets.
03:17And let's bring those out.
03:18And what are your bad assets? Let's try the hodl.
03:21Go through this showroom, pick one outfit that you guys think is sexy.
03:26Let's go.
03:30It's really tight.
03:31All right, April.
03:33Yeah.
03:34So let's open up the jacket.
03:36Oh, that's beautiful.
03:38I think the raincoat was completely wrong.
03:40I think you have great shoulders.
03:41I do think you have very, very nice legs, and I don't think you're showing your legs.
03:45Shandy.
03:46Right.
03:49Maybe you tend to pick too large of a pants.
03:52I don't like my legs.
03:54You have much better legs than you give yourself credit for.
03:57Mercedes, you're next on the lineup.
03:58I think we've got to elongate you.
03:59I need to lengthen your legs.
04:01That's my turn.
04:02Yeah.
04:03I was going to come back.
04:04Take your jacket off.
04:06Okay, I want to see you're back.
04:07Ioana has one problem, and it's the midriff.
04:14There's ways of hiding that, but you've got to work, and I'm trying to get rid of that
04:17also.
04:18Aw, that was rough, man.
04:20But she's going to hear it.
04:21It's true that I have to get toned up, but Tyra said every woman has some sort of flaw.
04:25Mr. Fairtown let us know what we did wrong or what we did right, and then he went ahead
04:30and corrected all of our mistakes.
04:37I think you reflect to me not American models now.
04:42The way I've dressed you, I think, is more of a reflection of Italian sensuality.
04:47Now I know what they're talking about when they say Italian sensuality.
04:50It's about clothes fitting to your body properly and having a little pizzazz.
04:55I love it.
04:55I love the style.
04:57Tomorrow, I'm going to give you each 200 euro to go to the flea market.
05:02What I want you to try to remember is to depict Italian sensuality.
05:07The winner is going to come and spend a great, cool evening with me at my villa.
05:13The winner is going to have an amazing night.
05:14So, just to remember, bye.
05:22Hello, yes.
05:23Is Andrea in?
05:24Last week, we met some guys on the Vespa that took us around Milan.
05:28This evening, you're going to be joining us at the Milan apartment.
05:31Ioana calls the really cute one, and he says he'll come and bring some friends.
05:35I've been so testosterone-deprived.
05:36It's so not fair.
05:39Okay, wonderful.
05:41I'm not dating anyone right now, so I definitely want to get some smooches on.
05:43It's about time.
05:44Everybody knows I'm single.
05:47I want to meet some guys to have a good time.
05:49I miss my boyfriend.
05:51I do.
05:51I really wish he could have experienced this with me.
05:54I have no doubts in my mind that I want to be with him.
05:56Oh, that's pretty cute.
06:05Oh, you brought a spoon.
06:19I'm going to talk to this wonderful company.
06:21To you.
06:22To Lani.
06:23To Lani.
06:23They're very good looking, and the great thing about Italian men, you can shop with
06:31them, but you can sleep with them, too.
06:32But of course, I'm taken, so.
06:34It's Italian wine.
06:35Italian wine.
06:36I'm like, okay, I see a couple of cuties in the crowd.
06:38I start drinking a little vino, and I start, you know, getting in a good mood.
06:42You know Brittany's here?
06:43Thank you, thank you.
06:43Yeah.
06:45We are retired.
06:45We don't live on the business right now.
06:47It feels good to just hang out and just chill out at the house, but my boyfriend's not here.
06:51What am I going to do?
06:52Do you want any more wine?
06:53So, we're in Italy.
06:54Shanley, Shanley.
06:56We're a very passionate person.
06:58We are.
07:03When I saw Nicola, I could tell there was something special about him.
07:06He seemed really sweet and sincere out of the guys.
07:08Do you have an MP3 for you?
07:10Wait, you know what those are?
07:11Not really.
07:12I have one.
07:13You have one?
07:13Can you see one?
07:15These?
07:16Here.
07:17Discs?
07:17Have you seen them before?
07:19Your daddy buys them for you?
07:20No.
07:21That's the top bet.
07:23I like your thoughts on the last.
07:25We went into my room and we started talking about our interest in music.
07:29It's okay.
07:30Crazy.
07:33I don't know.
07:34It was just something clicked.
07:40You won.
07:40It was making up.
07:41You won.
07:42Nicola has wonderful assets in the bank as well as the Himes.
07:49I'm hiding, like, around a corner as I hear screams of, April, where's April, blah, blah, blah, blah.
08:15And then I just decide, like, I can't hide forever.
08:23These girls, self-included, have been, like, monkeys in a cage and you drop big bananas inside.
08:30Of course they're going to tear the peels off.
08:32Shandy's in the hot tub with one of the other guys and he's sitting behind her with his arms around her.
08:39So they haven't kissed yet, but it's clear that they're going to hook up, probably.
08:43I think, like, a part of me just, like, got caught up in everything.
08:46I just caught up in, like, the sexual tension.
08:48Having really good-looking guys come over and then I'll get in a jacuzzi.
08:52Ding!
08:53Hold on a second, Shandy.
08:54You've got a boyfriend.
09:04So we're in the jacuzzi and I know Shandy has a boyfriend.
09:08Shandy's been under a lot of stress and she's just having fun.
09:12Guess I just am letting Shandy do her own thing.
09:15I'm not really thinking about, you know, that she's a boyfriend, but I was kind of like, oh, why is she going this far?
09:23I just couldn't control myself.
09:43Like, I really couldn't.
09:44He was there and I had all this tension and let it go.
09:50I just let it happen.
09:53Immediately after the fact for Shandy, she's feeling extreme guilt about the fact that she's cheated on her boyfriend, Eric.
10:04I want to die.
10:07It's over.
10:09But it's not, it's not.
10:12It's over.
10:16It's over.
10:17Don't let this take away your spirit, okay?
10:19I know, please don't.
10:19It's going to break your spirit.
10:21Shandy, we got to go.
10:31Now that the blood is starting to return to the brain and the wine is starting to drain, she's realizing that what she did was extremely hurtful.
10:43After everything, like, I just want to go home.
10:46Did you get to fall asleep after me?
10:48No one, like, tried to pull me aside and say, like, hey, what are you doing?
10:52But you know what?
10:52Like, I don't expect them to because I should be able to take care of myself.
10:55I did this isn't my fault.
10:58It's all my fault.
10:59Our challenge is to go to the flea market with $200 in our pocket and only one hour to pick out a style that represents Italian sensuality.
11:14At the same time, picking up on the feedback Stephen Fairchild gave each one of us.
11:19I've only won one challenge so far, and it's like, I had to get this other challenge.
11:22I wanted to have a great night at that villa.
11:27I really wanted to go for the pants because I really want to make sure that he knows that I took in all the information that he gave me.
11:33Gracias.
11:33Gracias.
11:34Chao, villa.
11:34Chao.
11:35I'm just thinking, show leg, be sexy, white on top and black on bottom, and don't run over anyone's toes.
11:43The jacket was key because he had told me about my shoulders, and I wanted to find something that would fit.
11:48I really don't know where I'm going to start.
11:58My mind is pretty much all tangled up with the previous night.
12:03I think it's too big.
12:06Thank you, though.
12:06It's too big.
12:18After the flea market, we find out we're going to a place called Lake Como.
12:25Lake Como is about 30 to 45 minutes outside of Milan.
12:27I was trying to sleep in Italian while bargaining so bad.
12:32I was like, uh, pantaloni, stretchy.
12:37Shandy's feeling down on herself.
12:39Girl's cheap.
12:40It happens.
12:41American girl, I kissed you too, Italian boy.
12:43I finally have someone that's, like, proud of me for once.
12:47And then look what I go and do, you know?
12:49And that makes me think, like, is this how I'm always going to be?
12:53Once I find someone, am I going to mess it up?
12:56Oh, you've got to make a wish when we go under the tunnel.
12:59And you have to hold your breath.
13:00Oh, you're so beautiful.
13:09Oh, my God.
13:12We're driving up the driveway of Mr. Fairchild's vanilla.
13:17It's like, wow, this trip is getting better and better.
13:20How are you?
13:20Good.
13:21I'd like to introduce you to my wife.
13:23This is the nicest bedroom in the house because it has the view.
13:31Oh, it's so beautiful.
13:34The winner of the challenge will stay in this room.
13:40The losers will stay in this room.
13:47Welcome to our house.
13:48What we're going to do now is a challenge.
13:50I want to put the things that you bought on each one of you.
13:54Let's see how you did.
13:57It's kind of like a job.
13:58You gave me something to put in, like, the foreground.
14:00And I think that's kind of what helped me focus.
14:02Was it like, oh, I need to do this, I need to find this,
14:04instead of thinking, oh, what did I just do the other day?
14:09So you guys have been working.
14:11We'll start with you, April.
14:14So why did you pick what you have?
14:17I picked the bottom part because I wanted to show off my legs.
14:20Ioana.
14:20Do you think you are bringing out your better attributes and hiding your...
14:26Um, yes, but I don't think I did 100% as good as I should.
14:29Mercedes.
14:31I was looking for pants to elongate my legs like we talked about.
14:34Candy.
14:35I picked a skirt because I wanted to show my legs.
14:37You know, you mentioned that that was a good asset for me.
14:40And can you walk for me, too, please?
14:46I really think it's great she's showing her legs.
14:49Mercedes, you have such great shoulders, and all of a sudden you're covering your shoulders up again.
14:53Ioana.
14:53I do like the proportion of the jacket that you picked.
14:55It's the pants that are throwing it all off kilter.
14:57April, you showed the perfect part of skin.
15:01What I don't like is that I find that the miniskirt that you picked, it's too much conflicting with the scarf.
15:09Well, I'm going to pick a winner right now, and I'm going to pick Shandy.
15:12What?
15:13I can't believe that I actually won this one, because mine is somewhere else.
15:18I'm thinking, oh, jeez, Louise, Shandy's won another something.
15:22I don't know, I was feeling a little disappointed.
15:23Like, I thought maybe I would have nailed the style part.
15:25The reason why I picked Shandy right away is because I think she really listened to me yesterday.
15:30I want you to pick somebody who's going to join you this evening to spend in the winter suite.
15:34You want to.
15:35Okay.
15:36All right.
15:37All these girls help me out a lot, but I feel the closest to you, Juana.
15:40Seven o'clock, I would like to all meet downstairs for dinner with good Italian friends of mine.
15:49Are you hungry?
15:50Yeah.
15:55Okay.
15:57Shandy, Juana, I'm going to have you sit here.
16:00April, you're going to say, because of the challenge, I'm going to have you both sit over here.
16:05Aw, it's going to be so inconvenient.
16:08How much of a status can change your mode.
16:11Buon appetito.
16:12Ah, good idea.
16:14Shandy and I have the privileged table.
16:16Most of the people work for Valentino and Calvin Klein.
16:19The modeling.
16:21The modeling.
16:23Mercedes are definitely at a disadvantage at our table.
16:25I'm sorry, I have like a bug in my eye or something.
16:27It sucks.
16:28It sucks so hard.
16:31Who's your niece?
16:33Kate Moss.
16:34Kate Moss.
16:34My favorite model is Christy Tellington.
16:40What's going on?
16:41There's what?
16:42There's a bug?
16:43It's gone.
16:44I'm gone.
16:46I'm seeing Kate Moss.
16:47Kate Moss, too?
16:48Yeah.
16:49And what?
16:50Hmm.
16:51I think Shandy being stressed about her situation with her boyfriend has sucked a lot of her energy.
16:56Dinner is really hard.
16:58I have to talk to Derek on the phone later tonight.
17:00Good luck.
17:01Good luck.
17:04Hi.
17:07Shandy, I have a message for you.
17:09You've gotten to know each other very well.
17:12Tomorrow you'll get to know each other even better.
17:14Be ready to leave at 7.30 a.m.
17:16Do you think she knows what went on last night and that's why you've gotten to know each other very well?
17:20Kyra does everything.
17:21This is probably, like, the most overwhelming, like, stressful thing I've ever, ever had to do.
17:32Oh, God.
17:34In, like, the next minute or so, I could completely lose, like, everything.
17:39Hey.
17:39Hey.
17:40Hi.
17:41How are you doing?
17:42Not so good.
17:43What's wrong?
17:44I don't know how to start this.
17:48What'd you do?
17:49I just want to let my boyfriend know what happened, but I'm so scared.
17:54Just please tell me what you did.
17:57Just tell me.
17:58This is the worst puzzle thing I can do.
18:01You had sex?
18:03Yeah.
18:03Oh, my God, honey.
18:05Oh, my God.
18:07Oh, my God.
18:09Just please tell me what you did.
18:15Okay.
18:16Just tell me.
18:17This is the worst puzzle thing I can do.
18:20You had sex?
18:22Yeah.
18:23I don't expect him to want to continue, like, to want to work it out.
18:27I don't think he's going to be willing.
18:31Why did you do it?
18:31I don't know.
18:34Were you that lonely?
18:35Yeah.
18:36I don't know either.
18:38It happened last night.
18:39Yeah.
18:39Oh, you've changed.
18:43You're not Shandy.
18:45To cheat on someone you've known for four years.
18:49I never thought you could do that.
18:50I can't be with someone that cheated on me.
18:54Oh, God.
18:56What do you want me to do?
18:57What can I say to this?
18:59How can I hug you?
19:00Oh, God.
19:00Oh, God.
19:01Oh, God.
19:02Oh, God.
19:03Oh, God.
19:03Oh, God.
19:04Oh, God.
19:04Oh, God.
19:04Oh, God.
19:04Oh, God.
19:04Oh, God.
19:04Oh, God.
19:04Oh, God.
19:05Oh, God.
19:05Oh, God.
19:06Oh, God.
19:06Oh, God.
19:07Oh, God.
19:08Oh, God.
19:09Think about how we wanted to be together forever.
19:12And then he'd throw it away.
19:14You stupid bitch.
19:19What were you thinking?
19:24I'm hanging up.
19:27I just want to see Eric and just, like, look him in the eye and just, like, let him know,
19:31you know, that I care about him.
19:34It's going to be a beautiful backdrop for our photo shoot today.
19:43We're going to divide you into two teams.
19:59And actually, you're standing in pairs.
20:00And actually, you're standing in pairs right now.
20:02And actually, you're standing in pairs right now.
20:02It's going to be April and Mercedes together.
20:04You want to be in Shandy together.
20:06And this is no piece of cake, girls.
20:08It's difficult because you can't outshine the other.
20:11You have two photographers today.
20:13Alex Martinego and Milka Reyn Calza.
20:17They'll be shooting you from two totally different angles.
20:20And, of course, last but not least, we have the fabulous Nole Marin here from New York City,
20:26who is going to style you girls, okay?
20:29We're going to do very long Italian straight weaves on all of you girls.
20:35All right, so let's go see Nole.
20:44Welcome, Jay.
20:45If you're familiar with a lot of Italian ads like Versace or Dolce Gabbana, their ads can
20:52often use two women together.
20:54And they're doing something very kind of sexy and sensual.
20:58You know, to create that Italian fashion magazine style, you're going to be nude.
21:04I thought we were going to be having accessories, but surprise, surprise, the only accessory was
21:07our hair.
21:08So what you guys are wearing are shoes and accessories.
21:12Yes.
21:13Yes.
21:14That's it.
21:15That's it.
21:16I love it.
21:17Wow.
21:18I think it's awesome.
21:19I'd rather pose nude than with clothing on.
21:20Like a Mercedes.
21:21Just like, okay.
21:22Modeling is art, but I wasn't ready for this type of art, especially with April.
21:25We're not nervous about posing with each other because we're confident in our sexuality.
21:31It's going to be kind of cool if we have some kind of way to make it sexy.
21:34We might not be as high fashion as them, but when I think of the boys back home, they'd
21:39rather see naked on top of each other.
21:41I have a feeling it might be us.
21:43Mm-hmm.
21:44Are you ready?
21:45Yes, we are.
21:46Ready to go?
21:47Remember, sensual, not sleazy.
21:49You guys have to get closer.
21:50Yeah, there you go.
21:51Beautiful.
21:52Like that.
21:53Gorgeous.
21:54I need to hide certain things.
22:06So I just have to work around Shandi and kind of like sculpt my body into her body.
22:11That's good, Ioana, for a pose.
22:13Ioana is definitely paying attention.
22:15Oh, Shandi, that leg has to move forward.
22:17Don't think about posing.
22:18Now just do.
22:19And just turn your face out to the camera.
22:22I put my boyfriend last night on the phone.
22:24It made me mentally and like physically exhausted.
22:26I'm trying to deal with it and just trying to stay focused.
22:29Shandi, your head's up a little too high.
22:31Shandi is really not paying attention.
22:33Just don't make us look up your nose.
22:35The very first time I worked with Shandi, she had boiled chicken in a fish tank.
22:39Today, she completely drowned.
22:41What's wrong now?
22:42You're passive female.
22:43Right.
22:44No, I'm the buck.
22:45This photo shoot is going to determine who's going home.
22:48I don't want that to be me, and I don't want it to be Mercedes.
22:51I forgot.
22:52I'm sure that's animal instinct.
22:54I'm not comfortable with posing with April.
22:56You ready?
22:57Let's go.
22:58Yes.
22:59Bella.
23:00You're like...
23:01Okay.
23:02Come together.
23:03No, April, too much pose.
23:04This.
23:05Naturale.
23:06Always treat your faces a little, but look at each other.
23:08You know what I mean?
23:09Yeah.
23:10Here, I'm going to put my chin on your head.
23:11April over-directed each photograph, trying to art-direct.
23:15April is almost trying to take over my job.
23:17Can we, can we like, I don't know, move the floor or something?
23:20I don't know.
23:21Come on.
23:22Mercedes seemed a little lost, and she actually allowed April to boss her around the shoot.
23:26I was just trying to, to help.
23:28Relax.
23:29Just relax.
23:30Yeah.
23:31I'm like, when is this going to be over?
23:32When is this going to be over?
23:33When is this going to be over?
23:34When is this going to be over?
23:35No spring.
23:36Yes.
23:37Cool.
23:38Great girl.
23:39Finally, it's over.
23:40Huh.
23:49How are you?
23:50Good.
23:51Buena sera.
23:52Ciao, Kayla.
23:53After our big photo shoot, we meet up with Tyra for some cappuccinos at a really cute cafe.
23:58Well, I had to do a girl-on-girl shoot in Milano, like what you guys did.
24:03Every shoot that you guys do, I've done.
24:04What?
24:05With Tyra Banks, what did we not talk about that evening?
24:08I'll tell you what, Tyra, you know how you guys think I'm tense in that room?
24:11That's sexual tension.
24:12You're tense because you want to.
24:13Yes.
24:14Oh!
24:15No!
24:16No!
24:17You guys don't do this.
24:19You guys want any advice for very technical?
24:22Please.
24:23Like a physician.
24:24Great.
24:25Have you ever cheated on anyone?
24:27I've never cheated on a boyfriend.
24:29Or anyone cheated on you?
24:30I've never, oh gosh, yeah.
24:32I had one guy that cheated on me in Milano.
24:34He was a male model, child.
24:36And that just hurt me so much.
24:39But now I always tell my man, like don't cheat.
24:42Flirt so much with the girl and then come home and do me.
24:45Don't answer your question, Ms. Shandy.
24:48Mm-hmm.
24:49You sound like a tear, you look like a tear it up person.
24:51Yeah?
24:52You okay?
24:56Did your boyfriend cheat on you?
25:00You cheated on him?
25:01Oh, really?
25:02Everybody's messed up, Shandy.
25:04Mm-hmm.
25:05I'm not judging you.
25:07But I think that we have to fight against our carnal desires.
25:11And sometimes they slip, but I don't see it as the end of the world.
25:15I understand that people do become attracted to other people, you know, in the moment.
25:20And it's all about your relationship and how open your relationship is and how honest you
25:24can be with one another.
25:26Did you tell him?
25:27You did tell him?
25:28Yeah.
25:29Did he forgive you?
25:30For about 10 minutes, it was just him crying and saying, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
25:36Then it goes to, I can't be with somebody that cheated on me.
25:39I hate you, you stupid bitch.
25:40How could you do that?
25:41That's just normal.
25:42Oh, he loves you.
25:43You know that when Tyra's telling you something, that it's truly coming from, like, her heart.
25:47He's gonna have to face it and then whatever happens, happens.
25:50And, you know, I've changed so much.
25:53I think you'll be okay, though.
25:57How have you changed?
25:58I feel like the past year I worked in business, I was, like, conditioned.
26:02Emotions leave him at the door.
26:04And for some reason, coming to Europe reminded me of that time in my life when I wasn't like
26:08that.
26:09That's good, though.
26:10Yeah, it's helping me.
26:11As far as modeling, I thought modeling was a lot easier.
26:13I was so wrong, you know?
26:15It's like you have to look at it as a business, as how you style yourself, how your personality
26:20is.
26:21And it's like, I never knew that.
26:22Have you changed being in fashion instead of just worshiping it?
26:25There's so much I've learned that I never knew.
26:27It's just seemed like, okay, I found my niche.
26:29This is always where I'm meant to be.
26:30Like, I mean, I don't know.
26:32It just kind of feels like home.
26:34Well, can we just say something now?
26:36And I think we've all felt this, that if it's our turn to go home tomorrow, just to say,
26:39actually, thank you for everything that you've blessed us with on this trip.
26:41Oh, yeah, you're welcome.
26:42I mean, it's a dream.
26:43It really is.
26:44It is a dream.
26:45Good job.
26:46Oh, we got a fire today, you guys.
26:47The tire mail said tomorrow is another election.
26:48It's a dream.
26:51I love you.
26:52It's a dream.
26:53I love you.
26:54Good job.
26:55All we got fire today guys.
26:56The tire mail said tomorrow is another election.
26:57Yeah.
26:58Well, we got the tire mail.
26:59Good job.
27:10Oh, we got fire in the end, guys.
27:12The tire rail said tomorrow is another elimination,
27:16and I don't know what to expect.
27:18Are you ready to use the phone?
27:20When are you coming home?
27:23Soon.
27:24Do you want to stay in this relationship?
27:25Yes.
27:27Okay.
27:27I just wanted to hear that.
27:28My boyfriend's been with me before all this even started,
27:31so I have no doubts in my mind that I still want to be with him.
27:35You still have to bust your ass to try and get a contract, okay?
27:38Okay.
27:39I know elimination is tomorrow,
27:40but I just don't feel like I have the strength to do this.
27:43It almost feels like I don't even want to try.
27:47I'm mad at you, but it's subsiding, okay?
27:49I don't want you to give up, okay?
27:51Okay.
27:52Just be good.
27:54I miss you.
27:58Hello, everybody.
28:13Hello.
28:14Now it is time to make our ninth cut towards determining who will become America's next top model.
28:19Among the prizes will be a contract with the modeling agency that I so happen to be with, IMG Models,
28:25and a fashion spread in Jane Magazine, and a cosmetics campaign with Sephora.
28:30And now let me introduce our judges.
28:32Now everybody knows, first is Miss Janice Deacon-Synier.
28:35But thank you, Miss Tyra.
28:36You say the best things about the world's first supermodel.
28:39Yes, she said it herself.
28:40And next we have Eric Nicholson.
28:42Eric is the senior fashion editor of Jane Magazine.
28:45We also have Nigel Barker, a very sexy and noted fashion photographer.
28:49And last but not least, over here we see our guest judge, Stephen Fairchild,
28:54who is a very renowned Milan-based fashion designer.
28:58So now it's time for your individual evaluations, and Stephen is going to put you to the test.
29:02What we'd like to do is pretend that you just got off a plane in Italy.
29:05All you have is the pants you're wearing, some shoes, and a t-shirt.
29:10From the plane, immediately you're going to go to a wicked party.
29:14Along with the t-shirts, you have a pair of scissors, ribbon, safety pins, and you got some pens.
29:21You can do whatever you want with the t-shirt.
29:24The objective is to look sexy.
29:26Are you ready?
29:28You said?
29:28Get here.
29:29Go!
29:35The blue girls!
29:46So, Shandi, tell us about your outfit.
29:48Since I'm not showing legs, I wanted to show a little bit of skin,
29:50and so that's why I did the off-the-shoulder,
29:52so you could see a little bit of the back and a little bit of the front.
29:54I feel like you could totally walk down the red carpet with that,
29:57and the paparazzi would be yelling,
29:58Shandi, who did your shirt?
29:59Shandi, I think you are really inspirational,
30:02and I think it's really important for the fashion industry to have a muse,
30:04and you are definitely becoming that for me.
30:06Shandi, I never realized what lovely shoulders you do have,
30:09so that was an excellent choice to whack it up.
30:12I think you've done a great job.
30:13I'm really proud of you.
30:15All right, Yolana's next.
30:16Tell us about your outfit.
30:17Well, I wanted to keep it simple and classic,
30:19and I thought the bow kind of set it off.
30:21Yolana, I think it looks a little bit like a straitjacket.
30:23What I would like to see from you is to sort of change it up.
30:26We know that you're that classic beauty.
30:28Take our imagination somewhere else.
30:29A little sexier, a little more unusual.
30:31It does have, like, a hint of 20s, which is sort of very current right now.
30:36I just don't think it cuts it.
30:37You have to show that sexiness a little bit more that we discussed.
30:41All right, April.
30:42I wanted to listen to Steven and show off the legs.
30:45It doesn't look very model-y to me.
30:46I think it's the perfect look for a nightclub.
30:49Is this too much skin showing?
30:51I agree with Eric.
30:52I think you're showing too much skin.
30:53I like the underwear.
30:54Yeah.
30:55Too much.
30:56You would, nice.
30:57All righty, Mercedes.
30:58Okay, I definitely wanted to show off my shoulders and had a plunging neckline.
31:02I love the fact that you didn't take it too low.
31:05I think it's A+.
31:06It looks like a designer really took a long time to really sketch that, and it was his vision.
31:11It really looks like a top.
31:12It doesn't look like a cut-up T-shirt.
31:14I think you've done an extraordinary job, and you definitely got to come work with me if you can cut that way that quickly.
31:20I'll tell you.
31:21Gracias.
31:21All righty, you all did some very gorgeous pictures on the Lake Como.
31:27And first, I need Shandy and Joanna to please step forward.
31:31Here is the best picture.
31:34Wow.
31:35Really great.
31:36You guys are fantastic.
31:38Barry Helmut Newton-esque.
31:39This is a serious girl-on-girl shot.
31:41I like the shot.
31:42Because Shandy's thought of as so thin and so frail, and she's showing a little put-out.
31:46Maybe you can do some Sports Illustrated or some Victoria's Secret.
31:50You can make a lot of money and not just be a poor fashion girl.
31:52Joanna, you look fantastic.
31:53Can we see a close-up?
31:55It's amazing to see that you can be completely versatile.
31:59Shandy, your face kind of looks a bit pained here.
32:02Shandy, your legs rock this picture.
32:05Your face doesn't quite work as much as I like Joanna's in this particular shot.
32:09All righty, April and Mercedes, here's your best shot.
32:14Wow, you look like sisters in this picture.
32:16It's great.
32:17It's completely different to the other girl's shot.
32:18Yeah.
32:19It's much softer.
32:20Because this is more about the womanly curves of a woman's body.
32:23This photograph absolutely could be for any perfume ad.
32:26You know what, when I first shot you, you were sexy and you had a great lot of sex appeal.
32:30And since then, I've stopped saying that.
32:32And I was saying, where did that sex appeal go?
32:34And here you are again nude, and you've brought back to that sex appeal.
32:36You need to remember this.
32:37There's also two different types of sexy.
32:39There's Maxim FHM stuff sexy.
32:41And then there's high fashion sexy.
32:42And this is way more high fashion sexy.
32:44Today, I felt that you tried to control the shoot and that you over-directed it.
32:47You know, I was talking a lot to Mercedes.
32:50I thought, like, we worked well.
32:51And so she was like, oh, if you put it here, maybe.
32:53And then I'm like, yeah, you know, that works.
32:55Sometimes it's really, really important not to overstep your boundaries with the photographer
33:00because they don't like it.
33:03Thanks, ladies.
33:06Yoana.
33:07Yoana certainly amazes me.
33:09She's got rolls of skin that hang over her jeans.
33:12And in this nude, I don't see it.
33:14She looks like she's got a butt, which is a miracle because, quite frankly, I've never
33:16seen it before.
33:17I think it's that she's a good model and she knows how to pose.
33:20Shandy.
33:21Her legs are amazing.
33:23She's really falling into a top model look.
33:25Shandy really is the wild card.
33:27She's come from being this Walgreens girl to this extraordinary sort of Helmut Newton-esque
33:32lady in this picture.
33:33My problem with Shandy is her ability of being a spokesperson.
33:37For me, Shandy seems like a follower, not a leader.
33:40I think this girl has a huge potential.
33:42I think that she has to grow into herself and understand the industry better.
33:46It's just, it's so different from the girl that was, you know, in glasses all the time
33:50and just got contacts and didn't really know how to focus without her glasses on.
33:53Now she's totally connecting.
33:55April.
33:56Here she's doing an advertisement for like mummies because, you know, there's no life in her.
34:00Tonight, the way she chopped up the t-shirt, she should have been, you know, the queen of
34:03the disco.
34:04She thinks too much.
34:05She's trying to depict a model, how she's seen it in a movie or something.
34:09I think April, over the past few weeks, has gone from strength to strength.
34:13You just like that ass.
34:14I do.
34:16Mercedes.
34:17Really, in this picture, she just reflects erotic to me.
34:21I think she has one fault, though.
34:22I think she's got really short legs.
34:24Mercedes shocks me from week to week to week.
34:26She usually looks like straight off the mall.
34:28Finally, she came in here looking more high fashion.
34:30You know how I feel about Mercedes.
34:32I want to see her on the pages of Jane, Vogue, and the other magazines.
34:37My problem is, as a spokesperson, she's really good, and in your music video, she was really
34:41good, but the fashion industry's not going to get it.
34:43You're crazy, Nigel.
34:51There are four girls standing in front of me.
34:53Four beautiful girls.
34:55But I only have three pictures in my hands.
34:57And these three pictures represent the three of you that will continue on your journey towards
35:02becoming America's next top model.
35:06Ioana.
35:07In this picture, you are so beautiful, so erotic.
35:13The epitome of Italian sexiness.
35:15But there's a sex appeal in person that the judges don't feel you have that you really
35:18need to work on.
35:19Congratulations.
35:21You're still in the running towards becoming America's next top model.
35:23Well, Shandi.
35:29Shandi.
35:30What I love about you is that you give hope to young girls that are hiding behind glasses,
35:35that people may be calling her a geek, may be calling her nerdy, and she may be the most
35:38beautiful girl in the world.
35:40And you right now, standing here, you are telling her that she is beautiful.
35:45But we're wondering, does she really want this, or is she just here along for the ride?
35:49I want the girl that wins this competition to rule the world with a smile on her face like
35:54God.
35:54I wanted this, and I beat everyone.
35:57Congratulations.
36:03From Mercedes in April, please step four.
36:10I have one photo in my hands.
36:12And this one photo represents the girl that is still in the running towards becoming America's
36:16next top model.
36:17The name that I do not call must immediately return to your Italian apartment, pack your
36:24belongings, and leave.
36:28Mercedes, this is the first day that the judges saw you actually looking more high-fashioned
36:34and less commercial.
36:36The judges think maybe she is a little commercial, and maybe cutting up that shirt showed us a little
36:40something else.
36:41But we're not sure yet.
36:42April, in your pictures we feel like, you pose better than all the girls here.
36:48But modeling isn't about being mechanical, it's about emotionally connecting with the camera.
36:59Mercedes, congratulations.
37:00I don't understand.
37:09I always win everything.
37:12I'm not prepared.
37:29I'm not mentally prepared for this.
37:30I'm really shocked.
37:31Every moment that I spend here, not in front of that camera, all I was doing was waiting
37:36to get back in front of the camera.
37:39But I can't go back to doing what I was doing.
37:41It was killing me.
37:43I can't go back.
37:46I'm going to be a top model anyway, because it's my calling, and I'll do whatever it takes.
37:51I guess this is just not my way.
38:07Stay tuned for scenes from the season finale.
38:12Here's what's coming up on the season finale of America's Next Top Model.
38:16After nine difficult cuts, only Shandy, Joanna, and Mercedes are left standing.
38:23Our finalists are faced with the ultimate challenge, and our judges are left with the
38:27ultimate decision.
38:29Who will be America's Next Top Model?
38:32This really is hard.
38:32It's really hard.
38:34My head.
38:34Ugh.
