00:00To be in the top model, ain't no picnic.
00:08Sure, there's the glamour.
00:09But on the road to the top, there's cutthroat competition.
00:15Cat fights.
00:17I'm not finished.
00:18You're asking for massages while we're cleaning up instead of cleaning the tub like you said you were going to do.
00:22Beauty.
00:25And tears.
00:30Last season, Ioana went from being a babysitter to becoming America's next top model.
00:36Now a new group is auditioning.
00:39Thousands of girls apply.
00:41But only one can become America's next top model.
00:45We're back.
00:47My name's Amanda.
01:03I just got in from Hendersonville, North Carolina.
01:05And hopefully, I will be America's next top model.
01:08My expectations for being here in L.A. is to do my best and to be great, because I am great.
01:15I'm fabulous.
01:18I am very overwhelmed.
01:19Very excited.
01:20A little stressed out, a little nervous, but very happy to be here.
01:23My travel companion is Baby.
01:26And I take him everywhere I travel.
01:29Come on.
01:29Welcome to L.A.
01:32It's going to be a fun week.
01:37I just kind of sizing everybody up.
01:38It's definitely going to be a tough competition.
01:40Everybody's gorgeous.
01:42I like competition.
01:43Like, I love competing with people.
01:45It's just so exciting.
01:47I mean, there's so many girls.
01:48And I'm looking around, I'm like, damn.
01:50These are all my competition.
01:52Okay.
01:53Okay.
01:53Welcome to L.A.
02:05I'm Jay Manuel, and I'm the art director of all the photoshoots.
02:11So, you're going to meet a panel of judges, and they're going to judge you not only on
02:15your face, your body, but your total package, and most importantly, your potential to be
02:19America's next top model.
02:20And we are going to have a cut later on in the week, and then some of you are going to
02:25have to go home, unfortunately.
02:27So, tonight, enjoy the food.
02:29Enjoy the pool party.
02:31Get to know each other.
02:32Enjoy each other.
02:32Because tomorrow, the real competition begins.
02:43I mean, I was raised in Oklahoma, so I was, like, around cows, like, literally every
02:47single day.
02:48Wow.
02:48My grandpa bought me one for, like, for my birthday.
02:50No.
02:51You got a cow for your birthday.
02:52Shit.
02:53It was cool.
02:54Toasted a tattoo.
02:55It's going to be between me and you.
02:57Better done.
02:58Ann and I.
02:59That's like my sister from another mother.
03:00She's just white and I'm black.
03:02She is perfect.
03:03Sit down before you drink, but it's bad though.
03:05Eva, we click.
03:06It's the weirdest thing.
03:07The first dinner, I was just really nervous.
03:10I didn't know any of the girls yet.
03:11I didn't know what to say.
03:12You know, so I'm just eating my food.
03:13And then all of a sudden I hear, hello, guys.
03:15How are you guys doing?
03:18How are you guys doing?
03:24Oh, my God.
03:25Tyra Banks walks in.
03:26I thought it was a hologram.
03:27Like, she did not look real.
03:31Look at you guys up there.
03:34You guys excited?
03:35Yes!
03:37You guys ready to be stars?
03:38Yes!
03:39Yeah!
03:40Who's going to win?
03:41Yes!
03:42It was one of those moments where I felt like I was living in a dream.
03:45I should be pinched.
03:47You'll never have that feeling again.
03:49And the reason why I wanted to do this is because I'm from L.A.
03:52This is my town.
03:53This is my hometown.
03:54All right, L.A.
03:55L.A.
03:56And I was very lucky to be able to have the opportunity to be within reach of modeling
04:03agencies.
04:03But I know not everybody has that opportunity and is not that lucky.
04:06A lot of y'all come from Bluegrass, Ohio.
04:09And I feel like I've been really blessed.
04:10You know, I've had a lot of success.
04:12And, you know, time to pass the torch.
04:15When it comes to top models, there's not a lot of stars anymore.
04:17If you notice, Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Aniston on the covers of our magazines.
04:22And it's time to bring the supermodel back to the covers of the magazines.
04:24But there will only be one true superstar.
04:29There will only be one.
04:31America's Next Time Model.
04:31And she is in this room somewhere.
04:34This is going to be a crazy week, okay?
04:36We're going to put you through so many tests and so many questions.
04:38And I'm going to be firing questions at you.
04:40All right, crazy.
04:41You ready?
04:42All right, I'm ready, too.
04:44All right, you guys.
04:45I'm out of here.
04:45All right.
04:46This is so freaking awesome.
04:50This is a dope experience.
04:52Tyra Banks.
04:53Tyra Banks is standing right there.
04:54Tyra's the reason I'm here.
04:55She saw my tape.
04:56Tyra wants me.
04:57Tyra wants me.
04:58I like the competition.
05:01I'm excited.
05:01But I'm ready for it to get, like, real down and dirty.
05:04We're all having fun, like, okay, what?
05:17You don't want to get your hair wet?
05:18Like, I got in.
05:19My makeup was running down my face.
05:20I don't care.
05:21Everyone has their bathing suit on.
05:23Why not get in the water instead of standing next to it, you dumbasses?
05:26Some of the girls in the pool were very disrespectful to the other girls.
05:38Everyone hates us, though, and we think it's hysterical.
05:40They're all intimidated by us, which is good.
05:42I don't care.
05:44Are you ready, girl?
05:45Right?
05:46Get in the water.
05:47They're two plus-size models, and we were talking about our boob sizes.
05:51They're like, oh, we're the same boob size.
05:52You got more here.
05:53Mine are just, like, here.
05:54Mine are everywhere.
05:56You know, Mary, I don't believe that she's really plus-size.
05:59I think she's, like, 160.
06:01You know, if you're looking for a real woman with something juicy, then here I am.
06:04I'm 180 pounds, and I'm carrying it well, and I'm loving it.
06:07You know, she's beautiful in her own right, and I'm me.
06:11They shouldn't be scared.
06:12Don't be scared, America.
06:21I'm really nervous about the competition.
06:23Like, I just don't know if I, like, do everything right or, like, I'll mess up.
06:28I don't know.
06:29Let's see the city of dreams.
06:31Elijah is my son.
06:33He's going to be, too.
06:34It will be stressful for me being away from my son, but it's for his future.
06:39Jay Alexander is a runway trainer diva extraordinaire, and Jay Manuel is a top makeup artist, and he's an art director, too.
06:53And I have some nicknames for them.
06:54Jay Manuel is Mr. Jay, and Jay Alexander is Mrs. Jay.
06:58Hi, I'm Anne.
07:02I'm 21 years old, and I'm a six-time All-American athlete.
07:06Four times for water polo and twice for swimming.
07:08So how do you guys tread water so long, Anne?
07:10I have strong legs.
07:11I got some muscles here.
07:13Your legs look just as gorgeous as mine.
07:15My mom always had me in sports, so I became, like, this tough girl.
07:20I actually quit swimming because I was losing.
07:22I don't, I don't like losing.
07:24Can you balance it, please?
07:25Balance it, please.
07:26I love competing, and I don't lose, so I want to go to New York.
07:29Either way, it's been a good experience.
07:32No, I'm, who am I kidding?
07:33It's not.
07:34If I don't get in the house, I'm going to be pissed.
07:39Hi.
07:40I'm Cassie.
07:40I'm 19 years old.
07:41I'm from Oklahoma, and I'm going to put it right to you.
07:43I'm going to win this thing.
07:44I might look like the all-American girl, but I don't have the all-American job because
07:47I'm a stripper.
07:49That's an all-American job to me.
07:51It's not.
07:52I refuse to be a trashy stripper.
07:53I try to keep it classy, and when people come in there, they're like, why don't you
07:55model?
07:56And that's the best feeling in the world.
07:57I'd strip because my dad won't help me.
07:59He won't pay for anything.
08:00He's like, Dad, can you please send me just $20?
08:02He says, you can starve to death, and then hung up on me, and so we don't really talk anymore.
08:08Does your father, oh, he doesn't know that you strip?
08:09No.
08:10No.
08:10No one knows that I strip.
08:11I refuse to drop out of college.
08:13I'm going to make some money, and I'm going to pay for school, and I'm going to pay my
08:15bills, and I'm going to do it by myself.
08:16And back.
08:21I'm kind of concerned whether or not she would be looking like a stripper when she
08:24walks.
08:24I was surprised she looked more like a model.
08:26Like a little girl.
08:27Almost.
08:27Like, when I was looking at her eyes, I see, like, a Disney character.
08:29I see a bright girl.
08:30I think I'm a good example of what an Indian woman is.
08:36Pride, of beauty, and of intelligence.
08:39My whole family was like, oh, my God, don't let her go out there to the modeling world.
08:42And I told them, I was like, I'm representing Indian women.
08:44I was like, they don't have to be nurses or, like, working convenience store.
08:47You dream of choreographing a Bollywood film dance?
08:50Yeah.
08:51Can you show us some?
08:51I'm definitely the black sheep of the Indian community.
09:00My name is Magdalena Maria, and I'm from Weston, Massachusetts, and I'm going to be
09:06America's Next Top Model.
09:08I'm in school at the University of Massachusetts.
09:11I'm a junior in the nursing program, and I'm giving that up for this.
09:14On the other hand, I'm like, well, damn, this is what I've always, always wanted to do.
09:20What's up?
09:21I just want to tell you, I'm happy to be here.
09:23I know I may seem a little ghetto.
09:25I would have never thought I would be...
09:27You're beautiful.
09:29Oh, my God.
09:30Yeah, yeah.
09:31I turned into the devil when I got in the eighth grade.
09:33I got kicked out of my high school for fighting.
09:35My grandmother likes to say that this is who I turned into Satan, but I would just like
09:39to say that this is why I became a woman.
09:41To be honest, I got out of control because my family was trying to lock me down because they
09:46saw I was going in the wrong direction.
09:48Why do you want to be a model?
09:49Everybody thinks that I'm just, and I am, but you know, I want to show people that just
09:54because I've done all kinds of things, you know, I could be somebody.
09:57I'm not just living for myself.
09:59I have my family to think about.
10:00I've disappointed them my whole life.
10:03And when I told my grandmother that I was coming here, she was like, hallelujah, you
10:06know, my prayers have been answered.
10:08I think this contest will help you do some of the bad habits that you already had.
10:12If I was moving to the house in New York, it would be great.
10:15You know, I could soften up a little bit, you know?
10:17Sometimes I'm being tough.
10:18I don't want to fight no more.
10:19Everyone's like, I would just want to go out.
10:25We want to start getting our party on.
10:34You know, we're all dancing, having a good time.
10:37And if it's these other girls sitting on, like, the side of us, and they're just looking,
10:43and they're like, who are these Bs?
10:45Are they famous?
10:45Like, who do they think they are?
10:50And I'm looking like, are you serious?
10:58So we decided there was going to be a dance competition, so Tiffany starts dancing, home
11:02girl starts dancing.
11:07Bitch, pour beer on my weave.
11:10So I'm thinking, don't fight, do it.
11:11You know, everything was, I had the evil twin and the good one.
11:15So as we all know, the evil one won.
11:20As soon as I turn around, I hear glasses breaking.
11:24Oh, no, she did not.
11:26Unbelievable.
11:37All you start hearing is, like, bottles crashing.
11:46You see beer flying around.
11:48It was glass, and everything just going everywhere.
11:52I've never been in a bar fight before, and I was the best.
11:55It was fun.
11:55All I know is violence, because that's all I've seen.
12:08Nobody ever taught me not to handle my problems without fighting.
12:11I kind of stunk, because we were looking forward to a night out.
12:17I mean, so that cut the party a little short.
12:20Do you think that you didn't provoke her?
12:22Do you not think that I shouldn't have threw my drink back at her if somebody throws something
12:25on you?
12:25I was raised in a home where we had discipline, and I'm not that big on fighting.
12:31I'm not saying, don't fight back.
12:32Okay, so how did I provoke her?
12:33All I saw was you bending over in her face.
12:36But at least you didn't hit her.
12:37At least you didn't hit her.
12:38I'm saying, if somebody is confronting you, you just basically blow them off for you back
12:42there.
12:43Like I said, I'm not trying to disrespect you, but I don't know where you're from.
12:46I just took her from violence.
12:48Okay, and that's great, Martin Luther King.
12:49But hey, I'm with Malcolm.
12:52You know?
12:53Like the Bible said, do on to others, and I'm the one to you.
12:57And that's just how I go.
12:57I'm changing.
12:58I'm changing.
13:00I'm trying to change for the better.
13:02My grandmother and them helps me out a lot, and you know, I hurt them so much.
13:06I'm going to change.
13:07I'm going to change.
13:08No, I'm not, all right.
13:10Because I'm not going back to no hood.
13:11I can't.
13:12I'm not going back to that hood.
13:14Tired of fighting.
13:15I'm sick of fighting.
13:15I've been fighting forever.
13:17I'm sick of this.
13:30Hello.
13:31How are you?
13:32I'm good.
13:32Every girl here's skinny.
13:33Every girl here's tall.
13:34I'm the only one with braces.
13:36I'm the only one with the bling bling on my grill.
13:38Okay.
13:39You said that you lived the life of a real, like a real life Cinderella with a bad stepmom.
13:43Okay.
13:44So I was living with my dad, my stepmonster.
13:48I didn't even meet my real mom that I live with now until I was 13 in eighth grade.
13:53And now our relationship is awesome.
13:55Do you ever play model?
13:56Like at home?
13:57Yeah.
13:58In my room, I play Paris Hilton.
14:00I pretend like I'm Paris Hilton.
14:01I love Paris Hilton.
14:04Cool.
14:06I see a little Paris Hilton in that turn, right?
14:07Hi.
14:13Hello.
14:13What's about me?
14:14My name is Kelly.
14:15I am 19 years old and I'm from New York.
14:17I grew up in a place called Seagate, which is like the last gated community in New York.
14:21All my friends, they used to say, Kelly's just a white girl with a really good tan.
14:25I'm used to being the only black girl, which is fine for me.
14:27You know what I love about you?
14:28What?
14:29That little white girl.
14:30A little like, you know?
14:31Wait till I get a weave and I'm like, oh.
14:34Yeah.
14:37You can teach me something with that walk.
14:39I think some of these girls instinctively have okay walks.
14:43It's the technical, the posing, where they place their eyes, their heads, their hands, and their clothes.
14:48People think I'm a miracle worker.
14:52Sometimes you can't create miracles.
14:57All right, and walk back.
15:10My name is Mary.
15:11I'm 22 and I'm from Portland, Oregon.
15:13The competition, skinny girls and one big girl.
15:16It's like, what is a competition in that?
15:18I wish there was that one other plus girl there.
15:20Do you know what would be great?
15:21If they picked both of us because then we could go at it.
15:23Hey!
15:24Hi!
15:25I'm here!
15:25I'm here!
15:26I'm Sikara.
15:27I'm big, black, beautiful, and loving it.
15:29I thought that was Jay Alexander walking through the door.
15:31All right, Miss Sikara.
15:34I love my skin and I'm working it.
15:36I'm hitting 200 in the butt.
15:38What?
15:38I want to encourage full-figure women to appreciate their body and to know that they're beautiful and that skinny women are evil.
15:44I'm sorry.
15:45I kind of had to be tough all my life.
15:47My whole immediate family has been involved in just a crazy life.
15:50So I had to be tough and I had to be the mama.
15:54I'm the mama.
15:59Oh, I had no idea.
16:00I thought she was taller than me.
16:00Baby, when she released those puppies, they were full-grown dogs.
16:06Hello.
16:07Hi, Amy.
16:07Hi, Amy.
16:08How tall are you exactly?
16:095'11 and a half.
16:10Really?
16:11Yeah.
16:11And how much do you weigh?
16:13115 right now.
16:14So it says here that you say you're frustrated because most people assume that you have an eating disorder because you're so thin.
16:19I'm on weight gainers right now and everything, but it's genetic.
16:23So when you look in the mirror and you're nude, what do you think?
16:25I feel healthy.
16:26I feel great.
16:27You know, it doesn't affect me.
16:28I've been working on it for months, but it's just, it's easier to lose weight than it is to gain weight.
16:38I do feel like you are too thin.
16:40Of course, people know that fashion models are slender, but your body, I think, does send a little negative image to women.
16:47I do this 3,000 calorie shakes three times a day.
16:49I don't eat those shakes, girl.
16:50I eat barbecue ribs and potato salad, and that's what gave me this ass.
16:53So you need some food.
16:55It's all really good constructive criticism.
16:58Hey, y'all.
17:01This is Baby.
17:02He just really wanted to meet Tyra.
17:04I want to be a model or a dancer, actually.
17:06Why do you want to be a model?
17:07People tell me I'm beautiful on a daily basis.
17:09I have the spirit and the spunk.
17:10I don't have boobs, unfortunately.
17:12I'm used to being, like, the prettiest one at my school.
17:14I'm a whip-ass, awesome, bitchy dominatrix.
17:17I like to have a wild, fun time.
17:19Look at me.
17:20I'm your classy girl, and I'm a model like butter.
17:23They call me supermodel by because of the way I talk and the way I present myself.
17:27I love my nose.
17:27My nose is big and beautiful.
17:29I can smell things that people cannot smell.
17:31I don't know.
17:32I just don't think this is, like, great for me.
17:34I don't want to do it.
17:35I want to go home.
17:36Like, I can't take the pressure of it.
17:38Don't you think any job interview...
17:39Wait.
17:40Hi, Leah.
17:47Hi.
17:48How are you?
17:49I'm great.
17:49My name is Leah.
17:50I'm 24, and I was born and raised in Oklahoma.
17:53Holy crap, I'm here.
17:54I'm like this farm girl.
17:56I built fences with my dad on tractors.
17:58Leah is a genuine article.
18:00What you see is what you get.
18:01I was born Catholic.
18:02I'm a famous Catholic.
18:04I want to be Catholic.
18:04Would you have an issue posing with the illusion of nudity?
18:09No, not a problem whatsoever.
18:10Nude me up.
18:11Nude you up.
18:13Hello.
18:15I'm here to be America's Next Top Model because whatever that it is, I got it.
18:20I've wanted to model since I was three years old.
18:23What kind of a person do you think you would be in the house?
18:25I'm the mama.
18:26You know, I've got a two-year-old son.
18:27He's going to be two June 7th.
18:29All the girls here already know, like, you're a mama.
18:31If you become America's Next Top Model, you're instantly whisked off into, like, a crazy schedule.
18:37You can't really take a child along with you through that ride in the beginning stages.
18:40I will definitely be sad, you know, like, I've been looking at the pictures every morning of him.
18:45My fiancé is enjoying the time he's getting to spend with our son by himself.
18:49You know what?
18:49My child is so wonderful.
18:51He will blossom.
18:52It's like a rose growing through a concrete crack.
18:54It will benefit him and the longer he might miss me, but it'll be okay.
18:58What I'm trying to do is work so hard at conveying an art with your eyes.
19:03I feel my best feature is my eyes, but I've not told anybody about my problem with them.
19:10And just look above my head.
19:12A little chin, a little bit lower.
19:13And look above my head.
19:15Beautiful eyes.
19:16Thank you, Amanda.
19:19Your eyes are breathtaking.
19:21So beautiful.
19:25Amy, she won't say she has a problem.
19:27She's like, you know, I'm on weight gainers.
19:28No, you're not.
19:29There's no way in hell.
19:30No, you're not.
19:31Why lie?
19:32It can't be helpful.
19:33But if someone can help it.
19:34It's way too bad.
19:35I honestly just don't believe it would be a second.
19:37I mean, just like to see every bone of disgust and it makes me gag.
19:40My cousin's like that, but she's definitely a billionaire.
19:43Eva's just really outspoken.
19:44She has no shame.
19:45But it's like a health thing with her, that girl.
19:47Like, you need, like, you should be in the hospital.
19:49Did she disappear?
19:50I'm 111.
19:51There's no way as hell she's 115.
19:52Eva, she's a flat-out bitch.
19:55And I can't stand her.
19:56They're making themselves look extremely bad right now.
19:59She has, like, her bones are popping out.
20:01It's like she's gonna break.
20:01Like, no man will ever sleep.
20:03You can never bear kids.
20:04It's like, that's not sexy.
20:06She comes out of the room.
20:07Please wear a sweatshirt.
20:08Don't do that.
20:09It's not fair.
20:10All right.
20:10I'm letting it roll off my back.
20:13It's a competition.
20:14This is what we're here for.
20:15So talk all you want.
20:16I know that J.E. Manuel said that we're gonna have a cut.
20:20So I'm just hoping that they pick the right one.
20:35Hey, bud, you look like you're scheming over there.
20:39What are you doing?
20:40Ew.
20:41I'm laughing on my video.
20:44Wow.
20:45Nice to see you guys.
20:47My name is Yaya.
20:48I'm so happy to be here.
20:49I can't believe I'm really here in front of you guys.
20:52I noticed, like, reading about you that you're extremely educated,
20:54and I was really impressed with your application.
20:56I go to school at Brown University.
20:59It's a nice little Ivy League school.
21:01I speak Portuguese fluently.
21:03I just started learning French.
21:07My father is a priest in the Yoruba tradition.
21:13It's one of these ancient African traditions,
21:14and I'm here to represent a beauty that is black.
21:18So what part of your canvas needs work?
21:21I'm over puberty, and I still get breakouts.
21:25It just comes, and I'm like, yo, looking in the mirror, what's going on?
21:28Okay.
21:31Work it out.
21:32No cellulite.
21:33She's very beautiful.
21:37But is that skin that you could put in a beauty campaign?
21:40Hi, guys.
21:41Hi.
21:42Hi, my name's Jennifer.
21:43I'm 22 years old, and I'm from Pocatello, Idaho.
21:45I went to college in Pocatello.
21:47I was raised in Pocatello.
21:49This is Pocatello style.
21:51We're not the classiest people, and that's why I need to get out of here.
21:55Let's check that out.
21:56Why do you want to be a model?
22:00Let it out.
22:00It's okay.
22:01I just kind of want to get out of where I am, and I know that I can't.
22:04Once I do something like this, it's never going to get me out of there
22:07because I'm not going to be some Pocatello girl that's going to get knocked up and stay there.
22:12So I just want to do this to show everybody that I can.
22:15Do one.
22:16And it gets all the tears back.
22:18I know that's not how I planned it.
22:20Hello.
22:21I'm loving the look, honey.
22:23I'm loving the look.
22:24I'm Rachel, and I'm 19.
22:26I'm from Huntsville, Alabama.
22:27And now I'm living in New York.
22:28And I originally moved there to model.
22:31I've been in Seventeen magazine, but I haven't been given the chance on a big opportunity.
22:38I do feel like I have a heads up above the rest of the girls because I have experience.
22:44Hi.
22:44My name is Christy.
22:45I'm 20 years old, and I think my most powerful asset is my blonde hair.
22:49So you describe yourself as a Republican.
22:51Well, I go to school in New York, and it's like I'm the only Republican in the state.
22:55My prom dress senior year was an American flag,
22:58so I was being patriotic, I guess.
23:00Ta-da!
23:04Yeah, here it is.
23:06I would have done a red sparkle shoe.
23:09This competition really was like,
23:11I could do that.
23:12That's so glamorous.
23:13That's so fabulous.
23:13You say that you have to watch your drinking because when you drink, you love everyone?
23:16I do.
23:17I get very friendly.
23:18I'm very trusting.
23:19I'm very open, and I love you.
23:21So is that men and women?
23:24Yeah, I don't discriminate, really.
23:25So you're an equal opportunity employee?
23:27Yeah, definitely.
23:28I feel like sexuality shouldn't be limited.
23:31Oh.
23:31Hey, my name's Marius.
23:33I'm 24 years old, and I am ready to rock and roll and let you guys make me America's next top model.
23:39If I can speak right when you practice it, and it's not natural, you mess up.
23:43No, but I'm so nervous.
23:44When I tried out for last season of Top Model, I got into the semifinalist, and it was very, very exciting.
23:49I can't believe that I'm getting a second chance.
23:52I'm a little confused.
23:53Uh-oh.
23:53You said that you don't have a favorite model or a least favorite model.
23:56No, I don't.
23:57So why do you want to be a model?
23:58What inspires you?
23:59To me, I look at it as a job, and that's it.
24:01So then why not do something else?
24:03Like, go, yeah, exactly.
24:04I don't know how to, like, redeem myself.
24:06Um, and I get really nervous.
24:08Sometimes I lose my train of thought.
24:11I like her body.
24:12I mean...
24:13I loved her body.
24:13What do I look for when these girls walk through the door?
24:16Good DNA.
24:16I look for a girl that can come in and just deliver.
24:22Work it out.
24:23I love it.
24:24How do you compare yourself to the other girls out there?
24:26I don't compare myself to other girls.
24:27I, I'm Eva.
24:28I'm, I'm no comparison to anyone else.
24:30About 80% of the girls that come in here have something negative to say about you.
24:36Eva, she's saying this about me and saying that about me.
24:39Eva, she's always mean to me.
24:41Eva, excessively abrasive and hostile.
24:43Eva, she's out of control.
24:45Diva, Eva.
24:46A lot of these women are ultra sensitive.
24:48How are you going to want to become a model and take criticism?
24:50But do you feel there's a need to be nasty?
24:52Do you feel there's a need to be negative?
24:53I'm not nasty and I'm not negative.
24:55Well, I vocally said Amy looks nasty.
24:57That was very mean, but Amy looks nasty.
25:00The first two seasons of America's Next Top Model, we had girls that were bitches.
25:03They didn't walk in as bitches, but they get to the house and they're considered a bitch.
25:06I don't want to cast another black bitch.
25:08Instead of me being fake and acting like I like you, acting one way or the other, I'm going to act exactly how I feel.
25:13And I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but I think it hurts even.
25:15I think you do.
25:16I do want to hurt people's feelings.
25:17I don't.
25:18You're a smart girl, Eva, and you know what you're doing.
25:21You know how to hurt people because you've been hurt before.
25:24I mean, but that's everyone.
25:25Everyone has gone through things in their lives.
25:26You know, I've been independent for a very long time.
25:28I don't have anyone I can run to and say this.
25:30If I get hurt, I run to myself.
25:32I can't run to mom.
25:33I can't run to dad.
25:34I live by myself.
25:35I'm just not a sensitive person, and I try not to be.
25:37But you are a sensitive person because you're tearing up right now, and that is the most beautiful part of you I've seen.
25:42Who in your life said negative things to you that you weren't good enough that...
25:47Who?
25:47Give me some of the strongest people.
25:50I mean, my parents and my father and my brothers, classmates, everyone.
25:54Just remember how it felt when your daddy said horrible things to you.
26:02You don't want anybody else to feel like that.
26:06You want to come give me a hug?
26:22Excuse me.
26:23I guess the whole reason I'm standing here and I want to say something is because I know I have been rude to a lot of people.
26:30I've said hurtful things, and so I'm apologizing.
26:33I'm sorry for anything that I've said to hurt your feelings, because I don't want you to leave here with a negative impression of me.
26:39I do want to apologize to each and every one of you because you are our exceptionally beautiful.
26:48That's a perfect round.
26:49I'll give her an applause.
26:50She's smart.
26:51She's intelligent.
26:52She got games.
26:53Maybe it was hard for help.
26:54Maybe it wasn't.
26:55But it's like, I feel like it was totally provoked because we all know people are getting cut.
26:59So she wants to make as good of an impression as possible when she should have done that from day one.
27:04I guess you guys know what I'm here to tell you.
27:10We've got to make a cut.
27:13So tomorrow morning, there'll be a list posted of the girls who are going to stay and move on to the next level.
27:18Now, those who stay are going to do a little photo shoot with me.
27:21And those who go, unfortunately, have to pack their bags and they got to go home.
27:26Good luck, but we got a difficult decision ahead of us, okay?
27:29There's going to be elimination this morning.
27:43I don't know what's going to happen.
27:45It was really crazy.
27:47Waking up this morning, you know, you're really anxious, wanting to know, you know, who's going to get cut.
27:52When I first came, I was beyond confident.
27:54But after speaking to the panel, I didn't feel like I deserved it.
27:57Being rude and bitchy to the girls.
27:58I just need to breathe.
28:07I have to let you know that the panel was really impressed and they had a hard time.
28:11But through careful deliberation, they have chosen only to advance 20 to the next round.
28:18A lot of girls can say, oh, if I don't make it here, I could go back to doing this.
28:21I don't want to go back.
28:22I'm not going back.
28:24If I don't make it, I will have to go back to stripping.
28:26I don't want to, but I have to pay my bills.
28:31My whole body feels weak.
28:33I've been waiting for this moment all my life.
28:35You guys, the names on this list are the next girls that are on their way to hopefully becoming America's next top model.
28:41Good luck.
28:53It's like, it's overwhelming, Joy.
28:55I definitely think I could win this.
28:57Words cannot describe the joy that I feel right now.
29:09Going through this process again, actually, it was more exciting.
29:13But I know how all the girls that did not make it, I know how they feel.
29:26I started crying before I went up there because if you're meant to go, you're meant to go.
29:30Exactly.
29:30And I'm not meant to go.
29:31This would have been a big jump for me, but they chose who they chose.
29:34And I hope whoever wins deserves it.
29:37I'm cool.
29:37You know, I'm tough.
29:38I can't believe I'm crying right now.
29:41Yeah.
29:45Some people never change.
29:46I mean, it would have been a big change from hustling to being a glamour girl anyway.
29:52I just hate to go back to people who are going to look at me and say, I told you so.
29:58It's cool.
29:58You know, I'm used to failing.
30:00Somebody got to fail, right?
30:01They eliminated 14 people.
30:07I was happy to see that both plus-size girls were still here.
30:09But there's still going to be another cut.
30:11My anxiety is not over at all.
30:14I'm working so hard to seem normal.
30:17I would feel more comfortable if the girls knew about my problem.
30:21You guys, hang on.
30:24First of all, I'm sorry for those who haven't made it.
30:27I'm so happy for those that have.
30:29But I haven't been completely honest with everybody.
30:34There's something that I didn't want to let y'all know.
30:37I didn't want it to affect everybody.
30:40I'm legally blind.
30:43And I'm going to be about 30 when I go completely blind.
30:59It's a disease called retinitis pigmentosa.
31:02It's a degenerative peripheral disease.
31:05It's like, I can't see right here, but I can see right here.
31:23And I just wanted y'all to know, I will always see your face.
31:26Please don't cry.
31:27I've had 10 years to get used to this.
31:30I've seen my son smile.
31:32And that's all I ever wanted.
31:34If we're all playing the same game, but I'm on a different field,
31:37I'm not going to let anything get in my way,
31:40even what sets me back a couple of steps.
31:43That means I've just got to take bigger, stronger steps.
31:54Somebody here is going to win the competition.
31:58So what we're going to do is we're going to do a little photo shoot.
32:00It's going to be very, very simple.
32:02I'm going to use my little digital camera.
32:03There's going to be no hair and makeup and clothes.
32:05It's just going to be all about the direction that you get from me.
32:07And can you really take that direction?
32:09Talk to me here.
32:13Okay.
32:13Think of right here.
32:14Pretend like there's a little thread pulling you long.
32:19You were like this.
32:19Your shoulder was raised kind of.
32:21It's kind of older than I thought.
32:24Give me one more sexy this time.
32:26I wouldn't call it sexy.
32:27I'd call it like little girl.
32:29But that's okay.
32:30Give me strong.
32:31Don't be afraid of the camera.
32:39All right, you guys.
32:42We got 20 girls.
32:44And we have to narrow it down to 14.
32:46Someone like Cassie.
32:47She really turned it out here.
32:48But in her interview, she made me nervous.
32:49Because of her whole background with the stripper.
32:51All right, let's see.
32:52Amanda.
32:53Her eyes are like spellbinding.
32:54I love what Julie represents.
32:55I would love to see an Indian model.
32:57Flag girl.
32:58My country tis of thee.
33:00Challenging me would be giving her a neck.
33:01Anyway, Narelle.
33:02I think Narelle has really big, beautiful puppy dog eyes.
33:05What about the braces?
33:05You can't book jobs with braces, but you can be trained with braces.
33:10But her braces are about to come off.
33:11And?
33:12In this picture, I see like beat you up.
33:14Magdalena, I think she'd be great to do those hair campaigns.
33:16Yeah, yeah.
33:17I liked her Afrocentric vibe.
33:19Her skin, though, might be an issue.
33:21Nargis has such a good like, hey, what's up kind of quality.
33:24I just wish she wanted to model more.
33:25Eva, when she first walked in to meet us, didn't she just walk in and serve it?
33:28Yes, she did.
33:29Because she does have a big ego.
33:31But look how insecure she is in here.
33:33Takara and Mary.
33:34I like Mary.
33:35I think Mary is more beautiful and her body is incredible.
33:38Proportion is great.
33:39Takara, I liked her personality.
33:42But I agree with you, she really isn't proportional at all.
33:44But I would take her personality over her body.
33:46All right, you guys, we got 20 girls.
33:48I want to know which six of these girls you think should be sent home.
33:51Already we're having another elimination.
34:00There's 20 girls that are just looking and wondering and thinking.
34:04And like everything's on the line.
34:05So it's freaking me out.
34:06Like I just want to know.
34:07I'm just making my picks.
34:10I got some people that's going to be eliminated.
34:14I want this as though it was something that was planned out for me already.
34:19That's how I feel about this.
34:20We the booty girls.
34:21There's two plus size girls.
34:22So hopefully they pick both of us and we have nothing to worry about.
34:38Hello.
34:39I want to congratulate you guys for getting this far.
34:43I have 14 names on this list in front of me.
34:47And these 14 names represent the 14 of you that will continue on this journey towards becoming America's next top model.
34:55But for six of you, this will be the end.
34:59The first name that I'm going to call.
35:01And the next name that I'm going to call.
35:11Leah.
35:14You're in shock.
35:18Kelly.
35:20Cassie.
35:22Can I get a ya ya?
35:23Sister.
35:35Julie.
35:38Maddalena.
35:41The next name I'm going to call.
35:44Nicole.
35:53Amanda.
35:57I have four names left.
36:04No rail.
36:06Oh my God.
36:18It's a car.
36:19Oh my God.
36:23I have two names left.
36:39The next name I'm going to call.
36:42Jennifer.
36:50I have one name left.
36:53This one girl will be the last of the 14.
37:01The last name I'm going to call.
37:07Eva.
37:16Oh my God.
37:17This is all my haters.
37:18All my haters.
37:19Everyone.
37:20It's my second time and I got played out for the second time.
37:23So I'm kind of hurt.
37:24I kind of thought I was going to get it.
37:27Rachel.
37:28It's Tyrone.
37:31Hey.
37:32Oh my God.
37:33You're here.
37:36Being a part of something that I love so much since I was a little kid.
37:41I just thought that God was like, okay, we're going to give you a break.
37:45Like, we're just going to make things happen for you.
37:49Give me a hug.
37:50You know how they say if it ain't broke, don't fix it?
37:52Yeah.
37:52This ain't working, right?
37:53No.
37:53So we need to fix it and try something else.
37:55I haven't found anything that does work.
37:56You should try it.
37:57Red.
37:57Maybe this might work.
37:59This ain't natural.
38:00We all know that.
38:00It's on now.
38:05It's on.
38:06I'm big and beautiful and there's no other plus-size girls.
38:09I have to go in and work it.
38:10So it's going to be hard, especially like me having the disability.
38:13But you can do anything you want if you work through it.
38:17This is definitely a second chance and I'm going to make everybody proud and try to take
38:22it all.
38:22Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
38:43Here's what's coming up on America's Next Top Model.
38:46The Final Four team, fly to New York.
38:49I want you to win this more than I want me to win this.
38:52Some girls grow closer.
38:53I love you.
38:54Some don't fit in.
38:55People ask me, what pants are you wearing?
38:58Your Gucci.
38:58I can't help that.
39:00And a surprise photo shoot puts them all to the test.
39:03Woo!
39:04One of you, at the end of this photo shoot, will be going home.
