00:00The search for America's Next Top Model started with 14 starry-eyed girls.
00:14And the competition proved to be the toughest yet.
00:18More unpredictable photo shoots.
00:20I believe.
00:21Hold on.
00:22Amazing makeup.
00:24More drama.
00:25I don't feel it now, boy.
00:27I'm sad.
00:30And more difficult cuts.
00:33But the competition ends tonight, when one girl will become America's Next Top Model.
00:38Will it be Amanda who captivated the judges from the beginning with her hypnotic ice blue eyes?
00:44Her eyes are breathtaking.
00:46So beautiful.
00:47But nobody knew that her most striking feature was also her most tragic.
00:51I'm legally blind.
00:53And I'm going to be about 30 when I go completely blind.
00:57Amanda never let her disability hold her back, delivering gorgeous photo after gorgeous photo.
01:03But a top model has to look the part in person as well as on film.
01:07Tonight, Amanda has to prove her style can go beyond quirky.
01:11Will it be Eva?
01:14During casting in L.A., nobody served it quite like little Miss Eva the Diva.
01:18How do you compare yourself to the other girls out there?
01:20I don't compare myself to other girls.
01:22I am Eva.
01:23Eighty percent of the girls have something negative to say about you.
01:26But when she found out her attitude was causing controversy, her tough facade melted away.
01:31But you are a sensitive person because you're tearing up right now.
01:33And that is the most beautiful part of you I've seen.
01:36Eva's struggle has been mixing her natural spunk with the kind of high fashion grace a top model needs.
01:42Tonight, the shortest of the bunch needs to deliver a big performance to prove she can rise above the rest.
01:47Will it be Yaya, the Ivy League grad who's road to become a top model had more than a few bumps on it?
01:52Yaya, what is your biggest insecurity?
01:55My skin.
01:55You never know when I'm going to wake up with more pimples and bumps.
01:58I found one of the best dermatologists in New York City.
02:01With her skin trouble behind her, it was Yaya's natural beauty that started to break out.
02:08Yaya's intelligence and graceful physique have made her stand out in the competition.
02:12But sometimes, she seems cold in person.
02:15Will Yaya prove that she can be relatable and regal at the same time?
02:19From L.A. to New York, Jamaica to Japan, these three finalists have battled it out.
02:26Tonight, the season finale.
02:27Who will be America's next top model?

02:48Who will be America's next top model?
02:49Who will be America's next top model?
02:50Who will be America's next top model?
02:51it was 14 and then there were three oh my god only a couple eliminations left and then someone's
03:19gonna be America's Next Top Model for real for real it could be me it could be Amanda it could be Yaya
03:24there's a third of a chance at this point that I could be are you serious like
03:31after the last elimination when Anne had to leave she only hugged me and Yaya and then walked right
03:39by Eva on the way out and then for her not even to say goodbye that was just a little crushing
03:46Eva had been treating Anne like poo for like a really long time and even just like me me me me
03:52me me me me me me me me I mean there are always consequences and repercussions for the things
03:57you do when I met you I totally thought you were a different person I don't know if I like what I
04:01see now after the whole thing went down with Anne I understand the part that I played I take this as
04:06a huge life learning experience being offensive and being defensive is not showing strength
04:12I'm trying and I'm trying to be this better person but no one's even seeing it it's so easy to just
04:19put a label on somebody and she's that if there were anything that Amanda and I could do to make
04:27Eva feel more included or comfortable I don't think we would
04:30actresses have recently been racing the covers of all the top magazines but it's time for them to
04:41step aside and make room for a real cover girl you ready to leave at 8 15 in the morning
04:46the number three is always hard three people I don't feel like exuding any extra energy to make
05:01Eva feel included all my energy right now really needs to be focused on why I'm here
05:06after last judging Tyra says there are four beautiful girls standing in front of me but
05:12the judges can find not one of you that they think could be America's next top model I think it's a
05:18good thing because it just doesn't give us any sense of identity or where we stand in this competition
05:23none of us are strong in every aspect rather than just look like a model in my pictures and I need
05:28to be striking in person and then there were three well today really is the day it's the cover girl
05:36photo shoot for wet slicks crystals this is a brand new moisturizing lip gloss that comes out this
05:42Christmas so the winner of America's next top model is going to have the ad that we shoot today
05:49in a national magazine and we'll kick off her cover girl contract it's such an important shoot because
05:56it's one of our very last chances to show up the other two we've got this water pool here with
06:03these Zen rocks there's a very specific layout the lip is the hero today I'm gonna do my best no matter
06:09what you know hopefully my best will be good enough this is the lip gloss with lasting crystal shine
06:19it's not sticky and it acts more like a bomb on your lips
06:22it's got the crystal crystal finish when you a little girl thinking about like wanting to model
06:30you say oh I want to do that someday but to be on the precipice of doing it is just it's insane
06:38I want you on the front most part of the rock like closest to the water edge as possible okay
06:48Amanda smile but it's that energy that brightness that approachable energy that's what we even that's
06:55smile you're giving me right now with those eyes okay that's shitty I was really trying to utilize my inner joy you know my really strong personality and my appreciation for bunny rabbits in France
07:12she's just got camera ready smile oh my gosh she's a cover girl I was serving up a python hot plate of
07:18smile Amanda out of 40 frames you're giving me like 36 perfect ones Amanda just gets it she feels it inside
07:26of herself and she just exudes the look that you ask her for great that's it that's it for you
07:30I'm so excited to just make it this far I am about to be a star be careful and you're gonna have to try
07:39and bring your other arm and your face closer to the edge of the water exactly that's pretty
07:44knowing that it's only three of us I have no room for mess ups I can't twitch wrong look bro nothing
07:51could be messed up right now pretty remember I want to keep this friendly and happy and it's about an inner
07:59smile chin up a bit I caught a little glimpse Eva had a really pretty face but I didn't feel the the energy
08:07coming out yes I like that I like that when I think of when I met Eva at the casting there was
08:13this tough girl who came out to serve and be strong and I think slowly through this competition she's
08:18let that wall come down yeah that's it okay okay my darling final wet slick of the day every time I
08:26get my hair and makeup done they talk about this elegant thing this regal thing so I was trying to
08:30pull from all these different places like how can I be that kind of person lower is a little better
08:37yaya if you want to position yourself because then I get more water I was finding some mental
08:43thing to connect with you know I'm reciting poetry or I'm seeing little ways in which my education's
08:49keeping me positive through this experience keep your energy up yaya remember think approachable and
08:56friendly nice pretty oh pretty in yaya's case Matthew did a beautiful job on her makeup today she looks
09:04fresh natural and beautiful without even retouching last frame that was it it's so great
09:11before today I didn't think any of the three girls left had it in them but today the girls just all
09:19stepped up to the plate I think it's the fact that they're realizing that they are shooting a real ad if
09:25they win America's Next Top Model
09:35so that's its photo shoot our challenge is to do and go see for Noriko Fukushima
09:41go

09:55and Noriko has been a fixture on the fashion scene for the past 20 years
10:03so she knows what she's doing
10:04I'm excited to put some clothes on and just see something different
10:09I'm 5'7 but I don't have to be tall to be great
10:14to know that that just all the norms can be knocked down
10:17this skirt looks great on you
10:23this skirt was kind of see-through and I didn't want to be disrespectful but if that idea had been done in the States
10:30it could look very hoochie
10:32this is her version of wedding dress a very modern wedding dress

14:20well before I send you away
14:22I just want to applaud all three of you
14:25y'all are the three shortest girls
14:27I said that
14:28I said that
14:29now there are people in the fashion world that might be gagging going
14:32oh this is blasphemous
14:33and I think you all are giving girls hope that they're like
14:37I ain't 5'9 but it just may be okay
14:40last week
14:41when I said we didn't think that you guys were really ready
14:43those pictures proved us very wrong
14:45thanks guys
14:47sayonara
14:52now it's time to decide
14:54which one of these three girls should go home
14:58oh god
14:59Amanda
15:00Amanda
15:01her skin is extremely translucent and her hair is beautiful
15:06the ice queen has completely melted away
15:08and a beautiful woman came out
15:10this photo of her is absolutely beautiful
15:13Amanda still needs to work in person to look like this
15:16when I'm looking at her
15:17she's off on one leg
15:18and she seems like her body is slightly off at an angle all the time
15:21Amanda in this photograph nails it
15:23hands down bar none
15:25Eva
15:26she is this little tomboy
15:27she's not the girl that you necessarily think
15:28is going to pull out a picture like this
15:30this is great beautiful warm picture
15:33this is the girl
15:34that every girl in America wants to know
15:36and wants to be
15:37she's universal
15:38Eva has come light years
15:39she's left
15:40and she's learned
15:41but I still want to see chic
15:44and I don't get any
15:45I don't get the essence of chic about her
15:46Yaya
15:47she's absolutely beautiful
15:48Yaya has incredible bone structure
15:50Yaya is really one of the most beautiful girls
15:52I think we've had
15:53she's stunning
15:54and when she stands in front of you
15:56she's elegant
15:57she's regal
15:58but those things are also her down point sometimes
16:00she definitely has that slight arrogant
16:02sort of snobbish thing about her
16:03what's your opinion
16:04well it is my opinion
16:05isn't that what this is about
16:06so that deters the way she walks
16:09the way she looks
16:10that she has an air about her
16:12photographically
16:13it's hard to criticize this
16:14she's had consistent beautiful pictures
16:16as has Amanda
16:17I just have all three girls I think
16:19but
16:20this picture crosses all borders
16:22yeah I think Yaya's got the cover girl look
16:24this is like the hardest judging that ever
16:25it's so hard
16:26all these girls can do pretty well photographically
16:28so it's a difficult one for me to decide on
16:30I'm shaking you guys
16:33I have three lovely ladies standing in front of me
16:49but I only have two photos in my hands
16:53these two photos represent the two finalists
16:57these two finalists will compete in a Noriko Fukushima fashion show
17:02and will walk and sashay to the death
17:05to see who can be America's next top model
17:08first name that I'm going to call
17:14Yaya
17:19Yaya you walked in here a beautiful girl with great stature
17:23but a little bit too much stature because you were the dancer
17:26but these judges honed that in
17:29and now you're a model
17:31Yaya you are a finalist
17:33there is a 50-50 chance
17:36that you will be America's next top model
17:39will Eva and Amanda please step forward?
17:41I only have one photo in my hands
17:43and this one photo represents
17:45the girl that will be a dancer
17:47but these judges honed that in
17:48and now you're a model
17:50Yaya you are a finalist
17:51there is a 50-50 chance
17:53and this one photo represents
17:55the girl that will continue on
17:57in the running towards becoming America's next top model
18:00I will only call one name
18:02the girl that I do not call
18:03must immediately return
18:04to your Japanese homestay
18:06pack your belongings
18:08and leave
18:09you two are a very interesting
18:12duo here
18:15you guys both have what the other needs
18:20Amanda you have edgy fierce high fashion amazingness
18:26Eva you have approachable relatable
18:30but to be a top model you have to have both
18:33so you guys are incomplete packages
18:37there is one of you that the judges think
18:40in this short time might be able to pull it together
18:50Eva
18:55congratulations
18:56you're a finalist
18:58next time
18:59you thought she was going home tonight didn't you?
19:10love you
19:14love you
19:15thank God
19:16I got to go last day
19:17I'm pretty surprised
19:20I thought I was going to be final two
19:23I wanted to win so I could get that $100,000 contract
19:27and buy a house
19:28at least I got to do this
19:31I want to inspire people that have disabilities
19:35or you know shortcomings
19:37to just like work through it
19:39and to find joy in everything
19:54America's Next Top Model is like one of us
19:56either the tomboy
19:58or the afrocentric one
20:00is going to be America's Next Top Model
20:02Yaya and I are final two now
20:04never in a million years
20:05do we think
20:06that we will be the last two
20:08did you notice that we are each other's competition?
20:10it just blows me
20:11that it's no two black girls right here
20:12we are each other's competition
20:15Eva and I up until this point
20:17haven't felt comfortable around each other
20:20we just didn't find that connection
20:22and so now it's just her and me
20:24we just let our guards down
20:26like what made me different
20:27than the other girls sitting right next to me
20:29that is equally as beautiful
20:31and taller
20:32you know what I'm saying?
20:34straight teeth
20:35and
20:36glow your skin
20:38clear skin
20:40that's the crunch bar
20:41and yeah she's cute but
20:43what I'm learning about Yaya
20:44is that she has her defenses up
20:46but that there's a sweet person
20:49underneath all of that
20:50and this whole time
20:52I was unable to see that
20:53there's no one else that walked into LA
20:55like
20:56I got
20:57nobody walked in like that
20:58it just makes me happy that the person that's gonna win
21:01is going to be
21:02a black woman
21:03who has flaws
21:04whose head is on her shoulders
21:06and who is a positive person
21:07this is so retarded
21:09it's so refreshing to be able to finally see a little bit of her for who she is
21:15and I'm like I couldn't have been this way the whole time
21:17I wake up in the morning and it's time for our one on one with Tyra before our final challenge
21:28so have a seat Miss Eva
21:30so how are you feeling right now?
21:32never in a million years that I have imagined
21:35I mean modeling
21:36becoming a supermodel
21:37is just
21:38it's just
21:39just a dream
21:40nothing that I ever thought was obtainable
21:41you know
21:42two people left and they're black
21:44get that like
21:45what?
21:46it's not about
21:47us thinking
21:48oh a black girl needs to win this year
21:50it's just
21:51two best were black girls
21:53I know you told me that you were kinda alienated
21:55you know from the other girls
21:56how do you think it's gonna be now that there's two?
21:58it's weird because Yaya and I have never
22:00taken it upon ourselves to get to know each other
22:03but we went through this together
22:04and we both know
22:05and to be enemies here and now is so pointless
22:09was there anything you wanna ask me?
22:11what do you see in me that shows you that I have so much potential?
22:14a girl that is very troubled
22:17but is dealing with that and is trying to be better
22:21so it's not about perfection
22:23but it's about striving to improve ourselves
22:26I'm about to cry
22:28you know
22:29it is so amazing because if I look at my past
22:32what I've gone through
22:33to try to predict my future
22:34and say in five years where would I be?
22:37I don't wanna go somewhere to sleep
22:38or someone to hold me
22:39or someone to love me
22:40and
22:41I have admired so many people in my time
22:45I could possibly be someone that everybody admires
22:47and
22:48what?
22:49you know there's never a testimony without a test
22:51hello
22:52hi Tyra
22:56how are you?
22:57hyperventilating
22:58oh my gosh
22:59I'm just coming back down from like to reality
23:02I wasn't expecting you to call me first or at all
23:04I don't know
23:05I was just
23:06why were you questioning your belonging here?
23:07because
23:08because
23:09I'm usually very
23:10and I don't like the word
23:13afrocentric
23:14but
23:15it's just very

29:18right now
29:19it's just from the fashion show straight to panel
29:21Eva kind of collapsed into my bosom
29:23she's my competitor
29:24but at that moment I felt like
29:25alright here we go
29:27this whole competition stuff is over
29:29it's time to go to panel
29:30and one girl is about to become
29:33America's Next Time model
29:40beautiful
29:41well you guys this is it
29:43we've watched both of you transform from
29:46little girl from New York
29:48little girl from LA
29:50into beautiful world class models
29:53but only one of you can be America's next top model

30:21now of course our judges
30:24Janice Dickinson one of the world's first supermodels
30:28Nigel Barker a noted fashion photographer
30:30Nolay Marin prominent fashion editor and stylist
30:33and that's it tonight
30:34as you guys can see there is no guest judge
30:37that's because we know you best
30:40we know your strengths
30:42and we know your weaknesses
30:44so now it's time for your evaluations
30:47and then after that the judges will deliberate
30:49and we'll determine which one of you will become America's Next Top Model
30:53both of you walked in a very important fashion show for designer Noriko Fukushima
31:00now let's take a look at your footage
31:02yeah yeah when you walk down that runway
31:05I was breathless
31:06you looked beautiful
31:07you were so technical
31:08it was actually very impressive
31:10but I felt that it lacked a little bit of a personality
31:13yeah yeah you fit right in
31:15but the look on your face was that of the zombie
31:18it was glacial
31:19I think you'll get it the next time you have a fashion show
31:23my mama made a comment
31:24she was like look at our booty
31:25oh she's got a great body
31:27Eva I really liked your walk
31:29you had the zen
31:30fill that little bit of Eva sort of swagger to it
31:33one thing that I noticed that you do
31:35especially on the profile
31:36is you do this
31:38a little egret
31:39it was like propelling you forward
31:41yeah yeah
31:42you were doing too much heel toe
31:44you have to put that pressure more on the balls
31:47to make it a little bit more elegant
31:48you've been here for 12 weeks
31:51and you've taken some beautiful pictures
31:54here's your first week here
31:57seems like a long time ago
31:58I think this is when I first noticed you Yaya
32:00you nailed this look I think better than any of the girls
32:03Eva you've got it in the eyes
32:05but everything else has collapsed
32:06Eva yours is a little common
32:08you weren't super comfortable modeling yet
32:10so you went to the comfy just chilling out pose
32:13it's like a pose that we all do in the fifth or sixth grade
32:16hey
32:17in the schoolyard
32:18hi
32:19they both are just incredible incredible shots
32:21I think you both stepped it up a notch here
32:23Eva this is when I really started taking notice of you as a beauty girl
32:26Yaya it was for me it was obvious that you were beautiful straight away
32:29in this picture you nailed it
32:31this was your alter ego week
32:33Eva gorgeous
32:34drop dead knockout pill
32:36Betty Grable
32:37Rita Hayworth
32:38just gorgeous
32:39this is when the competition really got tough
32:40Eva you nailed this shot both
32:42Yaya the one shot when you're on the car is very couture
32:47but I don't like the natural shot
32:50it doesn't say enough
32:52that's crazy
32:53Yaya's picture came up and I was like what's my picture doing up there
32:56Eva you were the one who was petrified of the spider
33:00but in the passion of your eyes I don't see it at all
33:03Yaya for me it's the most unbelievable shot I've seen of you
33:07I think it's the best shot you've taken so far
33:09gorgeous picture
33:10I did a little demo for you with this shoot
33:13I was very impressed with Yaya because you were taking notes in your head when I was posing
33:18Eva I must say that I like your body language in this shot
33:22you took advantage of the fact that you're not particularly tall and you've angled your leg nicely
33:26Eva Diva this is Eva Diva extraordinaire
33:31you're slamming in this photograph
33:33Yaya there's no arrogance in this picture
33:35just very approachable
33:36Eva you're so friendly
33:38it's so warm and inviting
33:40I know covergirl's motto is like a good girl with a wink
33:43and I think both of you have that
33:45and I think both of you would make really great covergirls
33:48wedding looks
33:49yeah
33:50so now it is time to deliberate
33:52and when I call you back I will announce
33:55we will become America's Next Top Model
34:00both Yaya and Eva are striking in different ways
34:02Eva has an unusual look that I see more of right now
34:05Yaya has a very old-fashioned look for me
34:07and so it's not that I prefer one over the other
34:10I'm sort of going back and forth
34:12interesting that Yaya doesn't have modeling experience
34:15but very early on was moving kind of like a pro
34:18today I almost fell down when I saw how incredible Eva looked
34:24she looked like a superstar
34:26I see a beautiful woman in Eva
34:28I see yes she's she's grown incredibly
34:31but I'm more prone to Yaya's refinement
34:35I watch both the girls painstakingly in the fashion show
34:38and Yaya is the more versatile model
34:41Eva needs to understand who she is a little bit more as a model
34:44I find her amusing she makes me smile and she's in front of me
34:46and it's not something that you can really learn that easily
34:49you either have that or you don't
34:51well they both have it
34:52they both have it
34:53they both have it
34:54but in a different way
34:55in a different way
34:56Yaya her body is crazy amazing
34:59bodies like this don't come around often
35:01but Eva she's like a Cinderella
35:03she comes in like a little tough boy
35:05and she turned into this incredibly gorgeous beautiful woman
35:08and I'm very torn because I have instincts which say Yaya
35:12but then I have another side of me which says Eva
35:14this is horrible
35:24in a moment I'm going to announce America's Next Top Model
35:28you guys have had quite a journey
35:30how are you feeling right now?
35:32China stays on my feet
35:34I feel like the last thing
35:36I'll cry because we guys felt win or lose
35:38this feeling is so overwhelming
35:40it's...
35:43I'm speechless
35:44this decision was very hard tonight
35:46it was so hard because you two are so different
35:51both of you have strengths and weaknesses
35:53both of you represent beauty from two different aspects
35:57Yaya you went from the girl that the judges were like
35:59great pictures but
36:01to someone that was likeable
36:04someone that was relatable
36:06someone that finally came in the room and smiled
36:08someone that kicked that chip up off of her shoulder
36:12but we talked about that
36:13and now you stand before me
36:15radiant
36:16and a true model
36:19from the inside out
36:21Eva
36:22when you walked into the room auditioning in Los Angeles
36:25I saw a pretty girl
36:27but a girl that was like
36:28I'm gonna hate on you before you can hate on me
36:31but we had our tops
36:32and now a real model
36:34stands before me
36:36but I have to announce a winner
