00:00Previously on America's Next Top Model, it all started in New York City, where 12 women
00:09of various shapes, sizes, and backgrounds arrived from across the country.
00:13Hey, what's your name?
00:15Katie.
00:16It's Yamada.
00:19While friendships formed between some, conflict brewed between others.
00:26And trust me, I don't trust you.
00:28I will say that.
00:28I do not trust you.
00:30Can't wait for me.
00:32The girls had to prove they could work on difficult shoots.
00:35She looked like a walrus wearing chiffon.
00:38Act.
00:39But why did you have to leave me?
00:41Take criticism.
00:42Go down where the hookers hang out by the dots to see what they're wearing and then avoid it.
00:47And dance in my very own music video.
00:51Pack your bags, y'all.
00:53You're going to Milan.
00:54The girls then got to show their stuff in Milan, Italy, where the competition intensified.
00:59Oh, my God.
01:00I want to put it on my credit card.
01:02I want to leave.
01:04This is my signature walk, and this is what's going to make me famous.
01:07Camille, what were you thinking?
01:10And Shandy lost focus when she had a careless bling.
01:13You had sex?
01:14Yeah.
01:14The competition has been fierce, but nine very difficult cuts had to be made.
01:25Ciao.
01:29Tonight, it's down to three finals.
01:31From day one, Mercedes charmed the judges with her warm and bubbly personality.
01:36Sad prom, baby.
01:38I look good at my prom.
01:41Her enthusiasm and charm only hit the pain of her secret struggle with lupus, a chronic and painful illness.
01:48That's cute.
01:49Mercedes never gave in, and she found a way to shine on every shoot and in every challenge.
01:53But in the fashion industry, there is such a thing as being too cute.
01:58Oh, no, too cute.
01:59I'm too cute.
02:00To be America's next top model, Mercedes has to show the judges her edginess.
02:06Now, Ioana grew up with a passion for fashion.
02:08She knew that one day she wanted to be a high fashion model, but Ioana also knew that she had to shed nearly 50 pounds.
02:14After working with a trainer and eating healthy, Ioana got into peak modeling condition.
02:20Her self-confidence wavered from time to time, but her gorgeous looks wowed the judges.
02:25You have a classic face made for beauty.
02:28Despite her beautiful face, she was often inconsistent.
02:32Your walk is really as useless as a flashlight with no batteries in the dark.
02:35Tonight, Ioana's got to deliver a performance that is flawless.
02:39Now, top models can be born or they can be made.
02:43Hi.
02:43Shandy was a clerk at a Missouri Walgreens.
02:46Her life couldn't have been any more different than the life of a model, and she knew she had a lot of work ahead of her.
02:51So she lost the glasses, went blonde.
02:53I feel so pretty.
02:54And her walk finally improved.
02:58We've given her the tools she needs to be a top model.
03:01With her recent personal crisis, will she be able to pull herself together and focus to take it all the way?
03:07We'll see.
03:08It all begins now on the season finale of America's Next Top Model.
03:13For more, please.
03:14Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
03:44Oh, oh, oh.
03:51Big ass for me.
03:52I'm here in spirit.
03:53I wasn't expecting April to be eliminated.
03:55You know, I thought April would have been one of the top three.
03:57It's just like any given time someone could leave.
04:00Hi.
04:01Mommy.
04:02Hi, how are you?
04:03Everything's good.
04:04I'm feeling good.
04:06Good.
04:06What I've learned the most from being in this competition and dealing with lupus is that
04:12it's about maintaining my disease and just I'm mentally so strong that I'm not complaining
04:16at all.
04:17Hey, mama, I got a chance to talk.
04:18Hi, honey.
04:19How are you?
04:19I haven't talked to you in so long.
04:21Oh, my muskies.
04:23I guess I didn't realize how lonely you can actually get while you're, you know, doing
04:26this.
04:27I mean, I'm very close to my mom, so it's really been hard being away from her.
04:31I miss you, but.
04:32Okay, you're doing okay now?
04:34Uh-huh.
04:36Hi.
04:37Hi.
04:38I just wanted to say that, um, I really, I miss you a lot.
04:43Aw.
04:44I seriously thought that he would hate me forever for cheating.
04:48Can you sound happy?
04:49Yeah.
04:50Honey, I'm not mad, okay?
04:52Okay.
04:53I just care about you right now, okay?
04:55Even though it's a really horrible thing that I did, it seems like we're close enough
04:59and we care enough about each other that we're, we're willing to, to work through it
05:03and, like, discuss it so that we can, you know, continue to have a relationship.
05:06Don't give up, okay?
05:07I won't.
05:08I love you.
05:08I love you.
05:10I'm gonna fire a man, you guys.
05:12Now that there are, like, three of you, I'm cozy up in one room.
05:15Help you.
05:17Come upstairs, you want us?
05:18Oh, you're gonna come off and help me?
05:20No.
05:24Now that April's gone, I have to move all of my belongings upstairs and nobody wants
05:28to help.
05:28I just go straight to bed.
05:30What is this?
05:32These bucks in the room!
05:34What?
05:35I could get to sleep or people would help me!
05:37Well, don't bring so damn skinny clothes out!
05:39Where's the love?
05:44Tyra, my name.
05:47We get a Tyra mail and it reads that we're doing a beauty ad today.
05:51Be ready at 10.30 in the morning.
05:53Tyra.
05:53Today, it's supposed to be a beauty shoot, and I don't look good.
05:59I feel like right now, Ioana is my biggest competition.
06:02Like, she knows how to work her face.
06:04She knows everything about this business.
06:06She knows the photographer.
06:07She knows the clothes, and that's something that I don't have yet.
06:10Mercedes has got a pretty good shot at winning the competition.
06:13You know, she photographs well.
06:15She's got a great personality.
06:16I think she'd be a great role model and top model.
06:19I think Shandy would be my biggest competition.
06:22She's transformed so much from a caterpillar to a butterfly, and the judges see that, and she really works well in high fashion.
06:29This is it, you know, the last photo shoot.
06:33And it's kind of scary because there's no room for mistakes.
06:37Good morning, girls.
06:38Good morning.
06:39All three of you standing here look completely different, but you're all so beautiful in your own way.
06:45So today, each and every one of you will get a completely different look.
06:49Today's shoe is going to be high-end stylized beauty ads.
06:52Doing a beauty ad has been like my dream because any top model, like, once they get a cosmetic contract, like, your face becomes a household name.
06:59So your creative team today, obviously, evil Uncle Nolay Marin, will be styling you today.
07:04Gianluca Guaitoli will be doing your hair.
07:07And our photographer, Massimo Costoli, will be shooting these amazing beauty ads today.
07:13As a model, your smile is so important.
07:16I just want to give you your bright smile lightning pin.
07:20Just go up and down on all your teeth.
07:22So your look today is going to be this helmet.
07:25It's cool, right?
07:26It's gorgeous.
07:27And you're so strong in your face that I think you could totally carry this on.
07:32This photo shoot is going to determine a lot for me.
07:36I need to get out of that commercial look.
07:38Each one of us wants to win this competition, but I want it more than they do because I've came this far, you know?
07:43I'm Buckwheat from Little Rascals.
07:45It's going to be beautiful.
07:47I love Nolay's funkiness, but he put wire around me, and I'm like, you know, he's a stylist, knows what he's doing, you know?
07:52Just shut your mouth and be quiet.
07:57The pressure has increased, I think, especially with three of us just left.
08:02You have to really, you know, perform.
08:04I'm just, like, wanting everything perfect.
08:06My hair in the back of, like, my neck was itching and it was coming out of the helmet, but John Luka didn't have the time to do it.
08:11I have the scissors, I do it myself.
08:14I do it myself.
08:15Oh, no.
08:19Yoana, ugh.
08:21What did you do?
08:22Did I really butcher it?
08:23You butchered it.
08:24You cut a huge hole in the back of your head.
08:26Oh, my gosh.
08:28I cannot believe that Yoana chopped her hair, and it looks like there's a big chunk out of the back of her head.
08:33Yoana, you're so beautiful.
08:34Stop being anxious.
08:36You've ruined your hair.
08:37I think it must be the competition.
08:39Yoana might be breaking down inside.
08:41She needs to get it together.
08:46I think it's great.
08:47It looks like an Aztec, like, warrior, Zulu, African thing.
08:51I was feeling it.
08:52Hey.
08:53Mercedes, you really blow me away.
08:54I was picturing that the camera is the eyes of Yoana and Shandy and that they're not going to take me down.
08:59I'm invincible like Superwoman.
09:00When I see where Cindy's doing her photos, she's doing really good.
09:05Like, those poses are awesome.
09:07I finish.
09:08I got it.
09:11More strong with your eyes.
09:12The photo shoot is a tad bit difficult.
09:14More strong with your eyes.
09:15I have a lot of problems with, like, short intensity and, like, feeling in my eyes.
09:19I was watching Shandy, and she had, like, a rock star type of feminine appeal.
09:23But when I was looking into her face, she looked scared.
09:25And also, Shandy kept on looking at me in the background.
09:28I'm like, yes, destruction.
09:29Good, good.
09:31I like this.
09:33You're okay?
09:36Good, dude.
09:38Relax the nose.
09:39They say, don't push out the lips too much, because then you look like you're, it's too pouty.
09:44And then give the eyes, but don't make it too squinty.
09:46It's too much down.
09:48And then when you move, it's got to be a centimeter at a time.
09:50It can't be none of this or that.
09:52I mean, it is really complicated.
09:54I can barely hear anything with the helmet on.
09:55Bella.
09:56Bravo.
09:57I like this.
09:57Yeah, there you go.
09:58There you go.
09:59Watching Ioana, they're like, oh, she's beautiful, wonderful.
10:03They're liking her.
10:03And I'm like, oh, bitch, you ain't gonna go nowhere.
10:06Sorry.
10:08We got it.
10:09Finish.
10:10You know, it's down to the final three girls.
10:12And they're all very strong.
10:15Shandy is doing amazingly well.
10:18Mercedes just constantly surprises me.
10:20And Ioana wants to be America's Next Top Model so badly.
10:24Big chunk.
10:25You got gum back there?
10:25She'll do anything to win.
10:28Really, right now, in terms of the top three, it's really, really, really, really tight.
10:33Hi, are you?
10:44Hey, ladies.
10:46Have you really learned all the elements it takes to be a top model?
10:49This morning.
10:50You'll be meeting the brothers behind the major fashion house, D-squared.
10:53D-squared, they're really hip.
10:56They're clients for, like, Eve and Madonna.
10:59These are all people that I admire.
11:01D-squared are the newest, hottest, hippest fashion designers of the moment right now.
11:05And I'm sending the girls to do an audition to be in the D-squared final fashion show for America's Next Top Model.
11:15My kingdom come.
11:17And I will be done under the next episode.
11:19The pressure now is even higher, and I'm just trying to stay focused.
11:24My competition is so, it's fierce.
11:26You can see it in their eyes.
11:28We all want it, and it's coming down to the final count now.
11:30Hello.
11:39Hi.
11:40Hi, ladies.
11:42I'm Jean.
11:42I'm Dan.
11:44We have a line called D-squared.
11:45We've done a lot of castings and done a lot of things, and we're here today to see if you guys have what it takes.
11:50Dean and Dan kind of remind me of, like, little chipmunks a little bit.
11:54They're like Chip and Dale, and they're like, they complete each other's sentences.
11:57So, we're going to start with you, Mercedes.
12:01Park the car.
12:02All right.
12:03Why should we book you and not the others that are here today on our cast?
12:07You guys are fun and funky, and that's the type of person I am.
12:10And to find a designer that you can do that with is great.
12:13Mercedes, my personality, she's like a sweet girl, bubbly girl.
12:16Mercedes was getting it.
12:18Your clothing is real.
12:19Like, it brings inspiration from real life, and that can bring my realness and my originality.
12:24Shani is a palette.
12:25Yeah, she's a beautiful girl.
12:27Nice posture, nice lines.
12:29I've loved fashion all my life.
12:30I grew up watching Elsa Clinch at like six, and a forfeited Scooby-Doo.
12:34I had my first.
12:35Scooby-Doo.
12:35Yeah, I was like, I need Elsa.
12:37You want to seem very professional.
12:40You want to seem to love fashion, I think.
12:42You know what I mean?
12:42They had a little bit of culture and fashion.
12:45Naturally, we're going to ask you who's your favorite designer.
12:47Oh, Lamar Jacobs.
12:49I'm sorry.
12:50I love Betsy Johnson.
12:51Betsy!
12:52What?
12:53Betsy Johnson.
12:54If a designer ever asks you to do that.
12:57It's you.
12:57I love your clothes.
12:59Learn to lie.
12:59I thought you really wanted to know.
13:01No, I'm just kidding.
13:01Nobody really wants to know anything.
13:06Dean and Dan are going to fit you in some of their clothes for something that Nole and
13:11I are planning.
13:12See if you're really discreet things.
13:16A girl who always puts on her own clothes, who hangs them up by herself, she's better loved.
13:21I hate those bitches that throw it on the floor.
13:24I think the line looks better on me than on Johanna and Shani.
13:27Ooh, I didn't let them have it.
13:29I'm like, oh my God.
13:32Mercedes fits perfectly in the clothes.
13:34Mercedes is free on it.
13:35Yeah, she's got everything that D Squared, I think, is looking for.
13:38That'd be cute.
13:39Good walker, girl.
13:40I know the runaway.
13:40What are you going to give me?
13:41I'll say whatever you want me to say.
13:42I'll do whatever you want me to do.
13:44Just book me.
13:46Fabulous.
13:46It says, you have a very big day ahead of you.
13:56Today you will meet with the judges and only two of you will continue on with the hope of
14:00becoming America's next top model.
14:02One of you will be eliminated.
14:03I am nervous.
14:05I'm anxious.
14:06It's a whole bunch of emotion.
14:07I'm shocked because I didn't expect the elimination to come so soon.
14:11I think the reality is that there's three of us and there is only one prize.
14:24Hello, everybody.
14:26It's time to make our 10th cut, which will bring us one step closer towards determining
14:31who will become America's next top model.
14:34And of course, we have our judges.
14:36Janice Dickinson, Eric Nicholson, Nigel Barker.
14:40And last but not least, we have our guest judges, Dean and Dan of D Squared.
14:46They're the hot thing right now in Milano.
14:49They are the new and the next and the now.
14:51I mean, they've done everybody.
14:53I mean, thank you.
14:58Tonight's a very special elimination because when the night is up, only two of you will be
15:02left standing.
15:04And those two will be starring in a D Squared fashion show.
15:07And your performance in that D Squared fashion show will help determine who will become America's
15:12next top model.
15:13But now it's time for your individual evaluations.
15:16And then the judges will deliberate.
15:18And we'll determine which one of you should be eliminated.
15:20And Mercedes, you're first.
15:23Black press.
15:23With your walk, Mercedes, you glide really well, but it's like you have on roller skates.
15:34You need to pick up your feet a bit more and take bigger steps.
15:37We had a very edgy beauty shoot with Massimo.
15:40And here is your best shot.
15:43Bellissima.
15:43That's gorgeous.
15:44Bellissima.
15:45Never touch your face, girl, or I will come after you.
15:48You are beautiful.
15:50Not many models can, like, throw on some naps and some grease on their face and some
15:54wire and look at theirs.
15:55I think with this picture, you've actually nailed the beauty.
15:57I like the intensity of your stare.
16:00This is proving your chameleon qualities as a model, which is important qualities.
16:04Bravo.
16:05Okay, thank you.
16:06Next is Shandy.
16:07I love the way you look.
16:14Your attitude is so hip and cool.
16:17You've come light years.
16:20I think your walk still needs improvement.
16:22Feel it.
16:23Feel it.
16:23Believe yourself.
16:24Because I know that you have it in you.
16:26I didn't see it tonight.
16:26But it's not just about me knowing it.
16:28It's about, you know, everyone seeing that you have that.
16:32All righty, Shandy.
16:32So you had an edgy photo shoot with Massimo.
16:35And here's your best shot.
16:37It's a very Mary Quant.
16:39Very girl next door in mommy's paint.
16:42It's a very lovely picture.
16:44You are like a canvas and you can be transformed.
16:46And your face is, it takes makeup very well, as you can see here.
16:49I still see in this picture, though, that there's that question mark of, you know,
16:53Shandy, we're going to make you a star.
16:55And in your eyes, I think I still see that, like, are you going to make me a star?
17:00Next is Joanna.
17:02It's a block first, honey.
17:07Not good, not bad.
17:13I think definitely to focus on your style.
17:15The walk for me as well was a little stiff.
17:17This was sort of you doing a conventional walk.
17:19And here is your best shot.
17:23Moon rocket girl.
17:24Your eyes are amazing.
17:26Your lips are perfection.
17:27Well done.
17:28It looks like you're a villain in a movie and you're chasing the good guys on a motorcycle.
17:33Like you have an accent and you talk like this.
17:36I mean, your picture is beautiful, but do you know what it means if you're not a clutch athlete?
17:40Like a clutch player?
17:41What is it?
17:42When it's the championship and there's five seconds left, he screws up.
17:45And that's what I feel you are.
17:47You have the strongest walk to me.
17:48But then you get here down to the wire and fall to pieces.
17:51All right, so now it's time to deliberate.
17:57Wondertran power.
17:58I mean, I've been to the casting since I was here in Milan for something completely different.
18:02And any one of these girls would have been better than a lot of the girls who I saw here.
18:05So we're really on to the right thing, which is great.
18:09Joanna?
18:10That picture speaks a thousand words.
18:12This girl is giving you face.
18:14She can have a helmet on her head and look amazing.
18:16She's just an incredible beauty.
18:18But, you know, almost like this picture is, a head, you know, does she have the rest of the package?
18:23And I'm not sure.
18:24When I look at Joanna, I see someone that lives and breathes fashion.
18:29I really admire that desire.
18:31I'm not impressed by the fact that she's not consistent.
18:36Mercedes.
18:37Of the three girls, she won the walking competition this evening.
18:40Her body is amazing.
18:42For me, it's these life experiences that she's had.
18:46It's why she's making a photograph that says something more than, my face looks nice with makeup on it.
18:52Here you can see that she can do beauty and she can do the commercial catalog stuff.
18:55I mean, if this can walk around all the time and do interviews and do fashion shows and look like this.
19:01Shandy's my dress.
19:02Shandy is in for me.
19:03Because I think photographically, she has what it takes.
19:05There's something that's maybe stalled with her.
19:09Shandy is what models are about now.
19:10Up-and-coming models don't look like me.
19:13They have an edge that just confuses people a little bit.
19:17And I like her being there for that reason.
19:19But she should learn how to walk.
19:21Shandy has not been able to walk.
19:23Yes, Shandy looks great in clothes.
19:24Yeah, I mean, come on.
19:25We're talking about a fashion model.
19:26She's got to wear clothes.
19:28I mean, I don't understand.
19:30All right, you guys, come on.
19:31This is serious.
19:32Which one of these girls do you think should be sent home?
19:34Oh, my goodness, guys.
19:37This really is hard.
19:38It's really hard.
19:40My head.
19:41Ugh.
19:57There are three beautiful girls with three very different strengths standing in front of me.
20:04But I only have two photos in my hands.
20:06And these two photos represent the two beautiful women that will go head-to-head and compete in a D-squared fashion show to become America's next top model.
20:19Mercedes, you have come so far.
20:36You went from, oh, I'm a commercial girl to, yeah, I might look a little commercial in person, but I'll show you edge.
20:41And this picture right here, save your ass, girl.
20:45Because if you had a hint of a smile in your eye, probably would have been going home tonight.
20:50But this one picture just put the exclamation point on, I can be edgy, and I will be edgy.
20:57Congratulations.
20:58You are one of the finalists.
21:00Thank you very much.
21:03Well, Shandy and Ioana, please support.
21:09There are two of you standing in front of me, but I only have one photo in my hands.
21:14Both of you have done so well throughout this process.
21:18Ioana, you started off pretty strong and very knowledgeable.
21:21And were doing your thing and proving to us week to week how great you walked, how original you were, how gorgeous your pictures were.
21:28Shandy, you started off kind of weak, but then showed us that you can be edgy, that you can be beautiful.
21:34And then today, both of you fell apart in this room.
21:38What are you going to do when there's lights, camera, action, and people yelling your name and flash buffs going off on that runway.
21:44And the audience looking at you and scrutinizing you and the dressers pulling at you and the person is pushing you out on the runway and saying, Shandy, go.
21:50Ioana, go.
21:52If you can't handle these six people looking at you, how are you going to handle that?
21:58I will only call one name.
22:02And the name that I do not call must immediately return to your Italian apartment and pack your bags.
22:08And go home.
22:22Ioana, congratulations.
22:27Ioana, you are a finalist.
22:29Thanks, Shandy.
22:33Oh, my God.
22:34Like, at some points, I just look in the mirror.
22:36I don't even recognize myself.
22:38It's hard to even try to remember how I used to be.
22:41And I feel like I've grown so much.
22:44And it's like I've grown into a person that I like and I appreciate more.
22:47Now, when I get home, I won't feel so lost, you know.
22:51I won't feel so insecure about myself, which I think is the best thing I'm going to take out of this.
22:57And, like, I have a really good feeling that my boyfriend and I are still going to work and that we're going to make it work and that we're going to be together.
23:05Thank you for taking care of me during one of the roughest moments.
23:15I'm like, oh, I love you, too.
23:16It's bittersweet not having Shandy in the house.
23:18I love her dearly as a friend, but she's my competitor.
23:21And it's like, this just gets me one step closer to having my dream fulfilled.
23:24Love and best wishes, Shandy.
23:27A.K.A. the evil Shandar.
23:29It's hitting me now that it's just going to be Ioana and I fighting for that number one.
23:32And you know what?
23:33She ain't going to take my title.
23:36Ioana and I are going to a galleria with Tyra.
23:40Oh, my gosh.
23:41Oh, my gosh.
23:42This is where you guys are going to do your runway, your fashion show for D-squared.
23:48I'm like, oh, my God.
23:49I see, like, everybody setting up the runway.
23:52There's lights, there's people, and they're very serious.
23:55And I just started to get nervous.
23:58I'm so excited.
23:59I mean, to actually be doing a real runway show in Milan.
24:02I just feel like I'm almost there.
24:03And it's just like, this is the last obstacle.
24:05And it's like, I want to give it my all.
24:06And I'm eager to, you know, really get out there and kick some ass.
24:09Don't look at anybody except straight ahead.
24:11You'll feel all these flashes of photographers and feel that and take that in.
24:14This is a real fashion show.
24:16So you've got to realize now this is a real deal.
24:19It's not just the Mercedes and Ioana show.
24:21It's the D-squared show.
24:27Okay, 20 minutes, girls.
24:29It's fun and exciting being back there.
24:31It's like, oh, my gosh, the clothes are, like, phenomenal.
24:34There's a ton of people who've got girls who think they're just like the crème de la crème.
24:38It's your first show.
24:39But this is a show that really counts for me.
24:41And I asked them, have you done shows like this?
24:43And they're like, oh, yes, since I've been 12 or something.
24:46And I'm like, oh.
24:49Five minutes to show.
24:54I need you in your first outfit.
24:56The last couple times I've been nervous, especially in front of the judges and the walk.
24:59It has goofed me up.
25:00And I goofed up yesterday, so hopefully I'll make up for it today.
25:02So I'm looking in the audience and I'm saying, oh, my gosh, there's, like, 300 people here.
25:13Remember, at the end of the runway, take your time, give them a post.
25:18This is it.
25:18This is the runway, final end of the competition.
25:21My heart is pumping so fast, it's, I mean, it's incredible that I didn't have a panic attack.
25:25Five, four, three, two, one.
25:30Tonight is, like, a critical turning point of where the competition will go.
25:39I'm really nervous.
25:40I, like, I'm trembling.
25:41My stomach feels like throwing butterflies.
25:43This is the ultimate test for the girls.
25:46There's no room for I'm an amateur.
25:48Are you a top model or are you not?
25:50Tonight will prove who is.
25:51I'm not aware of the audience.
26:07I'm trying to look sexy.
26:08It's, like, a high, like an adrenaline rush.
26:17Everybody's pulling, tugging.
26:18People are clapping, and I'm like, ah!
26:20Oh, my God!
26:21This is too much!
26:30One more time.
26:31Do it again.
26:31One more time.
26:32All right.
26:33Do it again.
26:33Sit down.
26:34Can I have to do it?
26:34Get down.
26:35Come on.
26:35One more time.
26:36Do it again.
26:38Joanna.
26:39Joanna.
26:39I'm the one.
26:40Hey, bring it back here.
26:42Give me your work!
26:44Oh!
26:44Here I go, and I'm walking, and then I'm like, oh, oh, that's Joanna?
26:54Oh, that bitch.
26:55And then I do my pose, and I go, yeah, this one's for Joanna.
26:58Mm, mm, mm, mm.
27:01Woo!
27:02It's fucking hot!
27:03It is really dangerous.
27:04There's a ton of people back there.
27:06Woo!
27:06Woo!
27:07Woo!
27:07My heel broke.
27:08They had to go and find another shoe.
27:10One shoe did not fit.
27:11I think it was, like, four sizes too small.
27:13Build a chair.
27:14I need a model!
27:15Joanna.
27:16Knight or Mercedes.
27:17Mercedes, let's go.
27:19You gotta rock to the rhythm with them.
27:21Got to give it to them.
27:22Got to give a lot more than a win.
27:24No more.
27:24Rock to the rhythm with them.
27:26Got to give it to them.
27:27Got to give a lot more.
27:29Joanna, we need to go going.
27:30I know.
27:30He said, she's right.
27:31She's right.
27:32I just need to go on.
27:33Then they found Mercedes' old shoes, so they said, okay, you just have to work it.
27:36Yeah.
27:36Come on.
27:37Come on.
27:37Come on.
27:39So I just went out there, and I did the best that I could.
27:42Go, go, go, go!
27:42You gotta rock to the rhythm with them.
27:44Got to give it to them.
27:45Got to give a lot more than a win.
27:47You gotta rock to the rhythm with them.
27:49Got to give it to them.
27:50Got to give a lot more.
27:52Got to give a lot more.
27:53I have no idea who's going to win this competition.
27:55Both girls worked it.
27:57Both girls rocked it.
27:58Got to give it to them.
27:59Got to give a lot more.
28:04Great job, Joanna.
28:06Phenomenal job.
28:06Oh, my God.
28:09Hey, girls.
28:10You guys so rocked.
28:11I don't know how we did it.
28:12Shoes broke.
28:13I do a new one.
28:14I did make do with the shoes that I wore.
28:17It wasn't to swear.
28:18I was freaked out.
28:19Mercedes, let me just give you a hug.
28:21I'm just really happy to be here.
28:22I felt sexy, so hopefully when I see the video and the pictures, hopefully that's what it emotes.
28:32We have to tear a male.
28:34We do.
28:35We'll open it together.
28:36Okay, I'll tear one side and turn the other.
28:39Tomorrow, the judges will determine who will become America's next top model.
28:43Good luck, ladies.
28:44This whole experience has been phenomenal.
28:47I just feel so blessed.
28:48I never thought that God would give me this much.
28:52Have a good breakfast tomorrow, and then we'll get...
28:54What the hell were you thinking?
28:56When you were walking...
28:57You stupid girl!
28:59We were creating top models, not clowns.
29:02This is what I've been working towards my whole life.
29:04You know, and to even fathom that I can possibly get what I want.
29:09You know, going all the way and just feeling all that.
29:11I'm just titillated about the whole situation.
29:19It's so weird.
29:20This whole journey is over.
29:20I know.
29:21Is this really our last day?
29:22Seems like we're going to pack up and go somewhere else.
29:24I think Mercedes is a beautiful person, and I love her so much.
29:27But I would be really heartbroken if Mercedes won.
29:29Because I've wanted it for so long, since I was a little girl.
29:32So I'm going to be America's next top model.
29:35Did you get everything?
29:36Yeah.
29:37Just let me know when you're ready.
29:39Ioana is a great person.
29:41I mean, I've shared a lot with her.
29:42But if Ioana wins, I'm going to pull out her hair and say,
29:46it wasn't meant to be.
29:47I swear, it wasn't meant to be.
29:48I'll kill her.
29:50Take you out of this conversation, too.
29:52I'm ready.
29:53All right, then.
29:54Mercedes.
29:55Mercedes.
29:55Mercedes.
29:55Mercedes.
29:56Mercedes.
29:56Mercedes.
29:58Look out.
29:59Awesome.
30:04Onward, March.
30:16Hi, ladies.
30:17We've watched you transform from everyday little girls to real, bona fide models.
30:25And now it's time for only one of you to graduate to the real world of modeling as America's next top model.
30:33Among the prizes that the winner will receive are a contract with IMG Models, a fashion spread in Jane Magazine, and a cosmetics campaign with Sephora.
30:45And for the final time in this competition, I'm going to introduce our panel of judges.
30:51First is one of the world's first supermodels, Miss Janice Dickinson.
30:55We also have Eric Nicholson, who is the senior fashion editor of Jane Magazine.
30:59And last but not least, we have Mr. Nigel Barker, a noted fashion photographer, and he also photographed you all in your very first shoot.
31:07There is no guest judge tonight because we have seen you from week to week, whereas a guest judge only comes in for one week.
31:14So we feel like we know you better than anybody in the whole entire world right now when it comes to deciding who has what it takes to be a star.
31:23Now it's time for your individual evaluations.
31:25And then after that, the judges will deliberate and will determine which one of you all will become America's next top model.
31:33Now you guys know that you walked in a very, very important fashion show, and we have got that footage.
31:39That was so great.
31:40That was the attitude of a top model, baby.
31:42Mercedes, it's nice to see you taking your little signature walk that you seem to have, and you've just refined it enough.
31:47You were fierce last night, Mercedes.
31:49Yeah, you are. She's working it. A little booty there.
31:51Your ass is so cute.
31:56You were so good at the end, making a connection with the photographer.
32:01You guys mixed in with the experienced models?
32:03Absolutely.
32:04Well, how did you feel in the runway, Yohana?
32:06Oh, I've never done drugs, but I'm sure it would be like doing some sort of drug.
32:10It was nerve-wracking, too, because my shoe broke.
32:12Oh, my God.
32:13I had to borrow Mercedes shoes.
32:15Sometimes some of the girls aren't that generous with here.
32:17Borrow my shoes. No way.
32:19One thing I noticed, Yohana, that you did is you were on the rhythm, but too much.
32:24And then Mercedes in the end, remember I told you, do it at the most two poses?
32:28You did about five one time.
32:29Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:30So that was a bit much.
32:31All righty.
32:32Now we're going to take a look at the best of your photographs from all of your photo shoots.
32:35And here is the first.
32:40I love them, of course.
32:42You're both extremely professional on my sets.
32:44For your very first photo shoot, you all were really amazing.
32:47Your faces are flawless in the pictures.
32:49I mean, they both were striking.
32:51I think this is where we first were seeing potential.
32:54You both look gorgeous.
32:59You're like yin and yang.
33:00You're hard and soft, masculine, feminine.
33:03Yohana, I actually, you look fantastic here.
33:06I mean, this is your genre.
33:07Mercedes, I love this picture of you.
33:10I like how her little baby hair is just like smoothed down.
33:14That's the ghetto thing.
33:15Only little ghetto girls understand.
33:16Huh?
33:17It's the ghetto thing, Janice.
33:18These are the pictures where Yohana was Audrey Hepburn and Mercedes was Billie Holiday.
33:22I was coaching everyone on set, and I didn't have to give either of you a lot of input.
33:27You guys really nailed this.
33:28I have to say the sophistication in your eyes, Mercedes, is very good for Billie Holiday.
33:33These are beautiful.
33:34Really, these two are some of the best pictures you guys have taken.
33:36It's Vogue and Breakfast Activities.
33:40Mercedes, I love your hands.
33:41I like the warrior-like stance.
33:43One of you, Yohana, is a little commercial.
33:45It's a little sort of catalog.
33:46Catalog.
33:46I think face, Yohana, you're stronger in this picture than Mercedes, but full-length Mercedes are stronger than Yohana.
33:52It is the most difficult thing on the planet to take your clothes off and pose in front of people passing by, so well done.
34:03Yohana, previous weeks, I wasn't getting that sex appeal thing.
34:06I'm proud of you.
34:06You know?
34:07I'm glad she...
34:08That's what you were thinking about.
34:10I guess you never think so sexy.
34:13She just wants you to vote for her.
34:14Yohana, your face is incredibly symmetrical.
34:22Mercedes, I just, I'm crazy about your picture here.
34:26Crazy.
34:27Yohana's to me looks like a magazine cover, and Mercedes, yours is just like a beauty story.
34:32I think both of you guys really rocked this out.
34:33You've taken all your previous week's experience and put it together, and you've all grown, and here it is, your final photograph.
34:39And it's come together for both of you, which is brilliant.
34:42Okay.
34:43So now it's time for Nigel, and Eric, and Janice, and myself to deliberate.
34:49And when you come back, I will announce who will be America's next top model.
34:56Okay?
34:57Okay, thanks.
34:58Thanks.
35:29I think Yohana has the X factor in her, which is the, I'm not really sure what's going to come out of her mouth, or I'm not really sure what she's going to do in front of the camera, and that's exciting.
35:38Yeah, but Mercedes has that personality that is a top model personality, and she's fighting a disease.
35:43She has these things and these experiences that you look at this sweet girl and you go, wow, I didn't know that.
35:47That's why I love Mercedes.
35:49I think Mercedes is survivor.
35:51She's blowing me away.
35:52She really was one of the best girls on the runway yesterday.
35:55But the thing is, is does she have the face to sort of grab international markets, the whole of America?
36:01Who did you like better in the show last night?
36:02Oh, no doubt about it.
36:03I preferred watching Mercedes.
36:06Mercedes had that natural rhythm of a walker.
36:10I didn't see that so much with Yohana.
36:12You've hit the nail on the head.
36:13There you go.
36:14This is, it's very tough for me.
36:27Was the weight difficult while the judges deliberated?
36:30What was going through your mind, Yohana?
36:32Um, uncertainty.
36:33Mercedes?
36:34Insecurity.
36:35Well, you might have been uncertain and you might have been insecure, but you guys have come a long way.
36:42Hey, you look at that screen right there.
36:45We are about to find out who will be America's next top model.
36:54Yohana, you started off as the quirky kind of weird girl and you have transformed into this hip, stylish, gorgeous thing.
37:08A face like yours does not come around often.
37:13Mercedes, you started off as the cute girl in the mall and the judges were like, oh, she's so commercial, she's so commercial, but girl, you edgy right now.
37:22You have made that transformation.
37:23You have made that leap.
37:26Even though you guys have come very far, there's only one spot.
37:30America's next top model is...
37:37America's next top model is...
37:41Yohana.
37:46Yohana's America's next top model.
37:48Yohana lived and breathed fashion, style, and modeling since childhood.
37:58Yohana's dream has come true.
38:00And the fashion industry has better hold on tight.
38:03Because Yohana's about to rock your world.
38:05Yohana.
38:11Yohana.
38:12That went so bad.
38:15I'm in the dream of this moment happening, but it didn't go all the way.
38:19Yohana.
38:21I never was a cheerleader, never made the squad, never made homecoming or prom queen,
38:35nothing.
38:36I was always just there and I never won.
38:38And now I'm America's Next Top Model.
