00:00My mama thinks I was born to be a top model, and somehow I got from this, to this.
00:13Are top models born or made?
00:17You're not born a top model, I can tell you that.
00:20You have to work for it.
00:22Our last three winners studied, struggled, are not finished, and went all out, evil, to achieve their dreams.
00:35Now thousands more sent me their tapes, hoping I might see their top model potential.
00:40Who will go from an unknown to a top model?
00:43These girls better work it, starting right now.
00:46My name's Noelle, and I'm way excited.
00:56I'm ready to compete against the most gorgeous girls I've probably ever seen in my life.
01:00I'm Kaylin, and I just landed in L.A.
01:03It's a little weird, I've never been here before.
01:05I'm a small-town girl, so it's crazy.
01:09My name is Brittany, and I'm from Tallahassee, Florida.
01:12This is what I want to do since day one of my life.
01:14Whatever it takes to win, baby, I'm in.
01:16I'm Brandi, this is my first time riding a plane.
01:21This is just, like, totally tripping me out.
01:23Kaylin, you, Kaylin.
01:24I'm Yubi, I was born in Mexico.
01:27Now, I'm just a California girl.
01:31My name is Tiffany, I'm from Miami, Florida, and I am so excited to be here for a second chance.
01:36What's up?
01:37It's the first time I came here, and I got in the fight.
01:39I'm not going to say a different person, but in a lot of ways, I'm a better person.
01:55I know I have to do it this time.
02:05I'm only five days.
02:06I'll just tell y'all right now.
02:08Well, you know what?
02:09You don't have to worry about me because I'm plus, and you only pick one.
02:11I auditioned for the last competition, and I didn't make it to Carl.
02:18It ripped my heart out.
02:20I tried out again.
02:22This is my second chance, and I am not wasting anything with this one.
02:25The first time I saw everyone all together was when we all met in a big room.
02:33Everyone's kind of checking each other out and trying to figure out who's their competition.
02:37Hello.
02:41So, welcome to L.A., and welcome to the Westin Century Plaza Hotel.
02:46Take a look around this room.
02:48Someone here is America's next top...
02:52You guys got to get your game on and bring it, okay?
02:55Get a space in this house.
02:57So, what do you think Tyra's looking for?
02:59I think she's looking for someone really unique.
03:01Somebody that's real.
03:02Somebody that can bring something new.
03:03I think she's looking for me.
03:05All right.
03:06I know what I'm looking for.
03:17I saw every single girl's tape in here.
03:19I remember there's a girl in here who feels like she once was a cat.
03:23Is it not reincarnated as a woman?
03:26Rare?
03:28Is it your nickname Lady Cat or something?
03:30Oh, my God!
03:32I'm looking for girls with pizzazz.
03:34I'm looking for girls that are beautiful on the outside.
03:36But, duh, most models are beautiful on the outside.
03:38But I'm looking for the beauty on the inside.
03:40Something that is rare.
03:41Something that is extra special.
03:43Just be on, but be yourselves.
03:44Don't fake it.
03:45I can see through the fake, okay?
03:46So just be real.
03:50She really cared.
03:51She came.
03:52It totally pumped us up.
03:56With so many girls to choose from, I'm relying on the help of my very opinionated colleagues.
04:02Mr. J. Manuel, the creative director of all of our photo shoots.
04:05I love where it's going, but it's looking a little hoochie.
04:08And Miss J. Alexander.
04:10Oh, show balance.
04:11Our runway coach and diva extraordinaire.
04:14It's about to fall, but you're not letting it happen.
04:16It's not gonna fall.
04:17Uh-oh!
04:19Come on in, Rebecca.
04:21My name is Rebecca.
04:22I'm 21, and I'm from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
04:25I love this girl so much.
04:26I'm actually on my way to being married and having a kid.
04:29But before I do that, I want to have fun.
04:31You have a very all-American and slightly California look.
04:34How do you see yourself being able to transform?
04:36Sweet Innocent's kind of my cover-up.
04:38I can kind of do some things and slip it away with it.
04:40I applied and cheated and, you know, got in my way.
04:45But I want people to see me as a good, sweet, innocent person
04:49because it's always worked in my favor.
04:52I was very impressed with her.
04:54Like, she's a very sweet girl, but she's got some grit.
04:56Hi, everybody.
04:58Hi.
04:58My name is Kenya.
04:59I am studying biology at the University of California, Riverside.
05:02Okay, well, this is my street.
05:04I live with my family during the summertime in Compton.
05:07Yay!
05:07The media represents Compton to be this place where you walk outside, you get shot.
05:12So if somebody were to see me anywhere and say, oh, she's from Compton.
05:15Oh, I didn't know that this can come from Compton.
05:18Well, remember, you represent you.
05:19You can inspire people and say that you came from there, but you represent who you are.
05:24So remember that.
05:24If it came between modeling and being a doctor, I would absolutely choose modeling.
05:30The way you can represent yourself without saying a word, I think that is so excellent.
05:35Hey, y'all.
05:36I'm Kaylin.
05:37I'm from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
05:38You've never seen America's Next Top Model?
05:41No.
05:42I don't watch a lot of TV.
05:43We only have, like, three channels, and I work 50 hours a week.
05:46I don't know much about the fashion and how to walk or how to pose for pictures.
05:50I wasn't sure if I could actually do it.
05:52Walk toward us and...
05:53Thank you, Kaylin.
06:02She's watching every episode of America's Next Top Model is now, Paul.
06:07You know what?
06:08That was Carmen Cash.
06:09And that was wind in your hair.
06:10Eli.
06:11My name is Lindsey.
06:13I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and I'm 21.
06:15My family was Mormon.
06:16Big Mormon family, very close-knit, but I don't believe in God at this point in my life.
06:21I told my mother that I was atheist, and she said that she would rather have heard that I was pregnant or lesbian.
06:27Well, I'm flabbergasted.
06:30After parting ways with the Mormon religion, I did change the way that I saw myself.
06:37I kind of started to go out a little bit more, started to care a little bit more about hair and makeup.
06:43Love legs, love the strut, needs a haircut.
06:45Her hair looks like a wig that you bought in a store for $19.99, and it's called a Nancy.
06:50You know how they've only got a name?
06:52Her wig.
06:52I know there's a Tyra wig out there.
06:53She should have gone and bought the Tyra.
06:56Hi.
06:56Your forehead is gorgeous.
06:58I know.
06:59It's a big forehead.
06:59I know.
07:00My name is Jennifer, and I'm from Richmond, California.
07:04When I was younger, I really didn't have a lot of self-confidence, but over the years,
07:09I really found a personal relationship with God, and that's made me a very strong person.
07:15If you believe in something, especially if you believe in yourself, you can be anything.
07:20Hello.
07:20How are all you fabulous people doing today?
07:24Because I know I'm doing very well.
07:27I'm Brittany.
07:28I'm 22 years old.
07:29Hi.
07:30Did you have Red Bull this morning?
07:31No.
07:31I'm always like this.
07:33I'm like, woo!
07:34I'm at it.
07:34Ding, ding, ding!
07:35I'm a winner.
07:36I love being outgoing.
07:37I'm extremely outspoken.
07:39I want to be the center of attention.
07:40I need to entertain.
07:43I must have been a drag queen in a formal life.
07:45I love big hair.
07:45I'm all about some big hair.
07:47Wow.
07:47Maybe I'll get a sex change.
07:48She's not going to be a dude, so I can do drag.
07:50I already have the voice.
07:51Hello.
07:52I'm Manly Stanley.
07:54I would love to put her and Janice in a room together and just shut the door.
08:00I think Brittany might come out alive.
08:05Somebody's back.
08:06Hey.
08:06I'm back.
08:07I'm Tiffany.
08:08I'm from Miami, Florida, and I'm 21 years old.
08:10Last time I came here, I tried out.
08:13I didn't get in.
08:15It would have been a big change from hustling to being a glamour girl anyway.
08:19It's cool.
08:20You know, I'm used to failing.
08:21Somebody got to fail, right?
08:23The last time I was there.
08:24I knew I had to be changing my life.
08:26I don't jump on people and throw glasses and stuff like that anymore.
08:32I'm just not like that anymore.
08:34I'm just not.
08:35And I'm glad I'm not.
08:36I went back home and I went to my anger management class.
08:39That helped a lot.
08:40Everything in my life is happy.
08:42I have a lot of help with my baby now.
08:43My boyfriend's wonderful.
08:45He's great.
08:46I'm happy.
08:46I'm a happy person.
08:49Go on and cry, baby.
08:50Go on and cry.
08:50Why are you tearing up?
08:51I'm strong because I was thinking of...
08:53I was laying in the bed and I'm like, I'm laying in Beverly Hills again.
08:57And I sleep at home with my baby in a twin-sized bed.
09:00I was just wishing my baby my grandmother.
09:03I really wish she could see it because she ain't got no money.
09:05She, um...
09:06The last time I was here, they said that I needed two bathing suits.
09:09And she went and she brought me bathing suits.
09:11The day before I left, I was like, grandma, well, you know, why the lights went off or whatever?
09:16And she was like, cuz, bruh, somebody ain't getting paid because you're going.
09:19My grandmother let the lights go off.
09:21They'd buy me a bathing suit.
09:22I love her so much.
09:23I just want to show my son and my family as well that I can do better.
09:28Tiffany grabbed her problems by the reins.
09:31She got it together.
09:32She came back.
09:33And I truly believe that that girl wants to change her life.
09:39But can she be a mom?
09:40That night, I did the pool thing.
09:55I'm gonna get to know some of these girls.
09:57Like, now I'm gonna get to know who's competitive.
10:02We got in a hot tub, played some Truth or Dare.
10:05Some people got a little crazy.
10:06I want a dare.
10:07You too.
10:07I want to be out there.
10:09Switch some music and come back.
10:10People were so surprised because they thought, I don't know, just because I was blessed,
10:14I'd be shy about my body.
10:16But I was just ripping off my clothes.
10:21I'm just gonna be exactly who I am.
10:26Me and a few of the girls were just like, pole dances?
10:29Like, guys, that is not the way to go.
10:34I wasn't just sitting there talking and people going, yeah, I'm from Tallahassee.
10:38Woo!
10:38I don't think it was a big deal, but yeah, I like to see people do crazy stuff.
10:44I don't feel like I need to take my clothes off.
10:46I don't know if that's who these girls really are.
10:48I'm really interested to see what's gonna happen from here on out.
10:50Woo!
10:50Woo!
10:51We're all gonna go out.
10:56Woo!
10:56I'm just totally fine.
10:59You're 21 and over.
11:00You're one of the two hottest clubs in L.A.
11:02If you're under 21, it's a surprise.
11:06It's a surprise!
11:07Oh, yeah!
11:10I didn't even know where we were.
11:11I was looking at the street signs.
11:12I saw Santa Monica and I saw sunsets.
11:14That was really exciting.
11:17We went to the White Lotus.
11:18It was a lot of fun, especially to get out and just have fresh air.
11:21We're praying, like, let us go to the club.
11:27Let us go to the club.
11:28Look at her, Mark.
11:31Huh?
11:32Bowling?
11:33Oh, no, no, no.
11:34I was like, I can't even bowl.
11:36Woo!
11:36We ended up having a blast.
11:58Woo!
11:59Woo!
12:00Woo!
12:01Woo!
12:02Woo!
12:04Woo!
12:05Turns out we got to stay later at the bowling alley
12:07than they got to stay at the club.
12:08Neenor, neenor, neenor.
12:13Just all over the place.
12:14Oh, my God!
12:15Oh, my God!
12:16Oh, my God.
12:17You walk over here like you're nuts.
12:19My name is Jessica.
12:20I'm from Houston, Texas, and I'm 21,
12:22and I'm known as Lady Cat.
12:24Ram.
12:25Why do you call yourself Lady Cat?
12:27I have long nails and I was scratched.
12:29Your face looks kind of cat-like to me.
12:31You want to take a catwalk?
12:33Oh, hug.
12:34Here, work it out.
12:35I'm training.
12:36Mmm.
12:37Give me that, sir.
12:39Because I'll taste good.
12:40Oh, I'm going to get a box of chocolate.
12:44I'm aggressive, and I am, I don't want to say arrogant,
12:47but it's this passionate individual.
12:48How tall are you?
12:49I actually, I don't know.
12:50Stand up, Chara.
12:51Take your shoes off.
12:52I can tell you how tall you are.
12:53I'm 5'10".
12:54I think you're 5'9".
12:54Oh, my God.
12:55I was standing up to you.
12:56I'll cut you.
12:57Woo!
12:57Oh, my God.
12:58Woo!
12:59Woo!
12:59Bye.
13:00Bye.
13:00Bye.
13:00Bye.
13:01Bye.
13:01Do you know what's so funny?
13:03I didn't realize how beautiful her skin is when she walked.
13:05She's gorgeous.
13:06I like her.
13:07Hi, I'm Sarah.
13:09Growing up, I was a tomboy.
13:10My older sister used to tell me that I wasn't really pretty or anything like that.
13:14You're not good enough.
13:14You're not pretty enough.
13:15You're not tall enough.
13:15You know, like, that sucks, but you just move on.
13:18Skinny, straight, no boob, nothing, not until I was, like, 16 years old, 17 years old,
13:23and I finally grew up in my chest at all.
13:25I just kind of blossomed.
13:26I guess it just took me a little while.
13:27What does that say?
13:28Holla back, girl.
13:29Woo!
13:29Holla back.
13:30Woo!
13:30She had a nice waist.
13:31I think she has great skin.
13:32Really big personality.
13:33Fun, fun, fun.
13:34I just didn't holla back.
13:37Hi, everybody.
13:39I'm Yubi.
13:40Sorry, I'm really nervous.
13:41Yubi, is that your dress?
13:42Mm-mm.
13:43I tell you what I love.
13:43Echis, my sister's.
13:44I knew it.
13:45I knew it wasn't yours.
13:46No?
13:47Yeah.
13:47I'm a jeans and a t-shirt.
13:48I know.
13:49Do you have jeans and a t-shirt here?
13:50Mm-hmm.
13:50Can you go back and put those on?
13:52Yeah.
13:52Yeah, because I can tell that's not you.
13:54I love you.
13:57There she is.
13:58You're yourself right now.
13:59Yeah.
14:00Thank you guys so much.
14:01I appreciate that.
14:02When I was a kid, I went through basically every stage that you could think of.
14:07Yubi, on your application, it says you used to be in a gang.
14:10Oh, goodness me.
14:11Being in a gang and doing all that stuff, I think it's the worst.
14:14It's the worst stage of my life.
14:15I was just an angry kid.
14:17It's sad.
14:17I hate talking about it.
14:18It gets me kind of all loopy.
14:21But I just had a lot of resentment against a lot of people, especially not having a dad
14:25and stuff.
14:26My dad passed away when I was three.
14:28The one thing that I clearly remember growing up is my mom always telling me, your dad always
14:32wanted you to be a model.
14:34So I just knew, I'm like, okay, I have to be a model.
14:36I think she's great.
14:37I love her.
14:41Hi, my name is Michelle.
14:42I'm 18 and I'm from Indiana.
14:44I'm part of this wrestling federation in Indiana.
14:47This is what happens.
14:48And usually when I get up on the side of the ring, I do a backflip into it off the rope.
14:56Like the girls I wrestle are like 125 pounds and I like have to be able to like pick them
15:00up and kind of like pulling them around.
15:01I go out there and I'll just like do my little pose and everyone's like, boo, boo.
15:05I love wrestling a lot, but I will sacrifice the wrestling to become a model.
15:12I want to be the next Tyra Banks, damn it.
15:15Lost my shoe.
15:16Hold on a second.
15:24Walk out.
15:25Oh, no.
15:26Oh, no, you did.
15:27Be like an inspirational speech, but I'm not a virgin anymore.
15:31You aren't either.
15:32Boom.
15:32I do the Beyonce.
15:35Oh, oh, you got three.
15:37Boom, wait the fuck.
15:40Woo!
15:48I love the villlas.
15:51How do you know your name?
15:52Naima.
15:53My parents are musicians and John Coltrane is a jazz musician.
15:57They names me after a composition of his name's Naima.
16:00Tell me about this Mohawk.
16:02I had long hair and there was just so many things.
16:05that I was carrying around with me from my past and my childhood and just craziness in my head
16:10and I just wanted to get rid of it. I just kind of wanted to become a monk, so I just shaved my head
16:14and I decided a mohawk would be ideal so I could censor my thoughts.
16:18Hey, my fellow redhead sister.
16:22I'm proud of the people.
16:23I'm Brandy. I'm 19. I'm from Houston, Texas.
16:27Can I just say something? I'm so jealous of your hair because it was just like bouncing left and right.
16:32It's beautiful.
16:33Thank you. Yours is beautiful too. It's just natural.
16:35I bet your hair is straightened. It'd be like way down in here.
16:38No, girl. It's not real.
16:39It's not real?
16:41Not real.
16:42What is it?
16:43It's sewn in. My mother did it.
16:45Tell your mama I ain't mad at her.
16:47This is Brandy. If you don't like it, you ain't got to like it, but I love it and I like it, so that's me.
16:51It's competition. That's the biggest word in my head right now, and I'm going to be about winning.
16:56You need a shirt, you should have brought your own.
17:02Bye.
17:03Walk. It's like she didn't try.
17:04Yeah, well, I mean.
17:05It was like she's walking down the grocery line, and I'm going to get some canned peaches.
17:10Like, I didn't feel like.
17:11Some canned peaches.
17:11Seriously.
17:13Hi.
17:14Hi.
17:14My name's Tatiana. I'm from Maui, Hawaii, and I'm 18.
17:17Aloha.
17:19Mahalo.
17:20I was driving, and I heard it on the radio. There's top model auditions in Oahu, and I, like, went to the airport, spent all my rent money on a plane ticket.
17:30If I want something, I will make it happen.
17:32You said that you left high school.
17:33I like to learn by myself by making my own mistakes. I'm going to go get my GED, and I'm going to pursue what I want to do, which is modeling.
17:40Thanks.
17:40Thank you, guys.
17:41Bye-bye.
17:41Bye.
17:42I like it.
17:42And she's got personality.
17:43That was it.
17:45Hi. My name is Estella. I'm 22 years old, and I'm from the Bronx.
17:50This whole competition is inside me right now. I just want it so bad, I taste it.
17:55This is what's going to give me a better life for me and my baby girls.
17:59How old is your daughter?
18:00She's going to be three years old. I got buried at 18, and we were very much in love, planned pregnancy and all, and then, um, he didn't want us no more.
18:09It's hard for me because I did everything by the book. Our baby was wanted, and then my husband put me and my daughter out in February in cold weather.
18:21My daughter and I were homeless and living in a shelter. You're in a room with no sheets where the first warning you get is watch out with the bed bugs, and you have no sheets, so you have to stay sleeping on a chair and holding your child.
18:33And then my daughter cried for milk, and I didn't have any money.
18:36When you can't feed your own kid, and they're looking up at you and crying because they're hungry, and you're like, I don't have the money, you know, like, wait, you gotta wait.
18:44I think that was the hardest.
18:45Better meet the strong person, didn't you?
18:47You know what? Stronger and stronger every day.
18:51Thank you, Stella.
18:52Maybe she's a diamond in the rough.
18:57This competition is a fight to me.
19:00I have my daughter to win this for my daughter's life.
19:02All it takes is to get my foot in that door.
19:05I know you're not going to get out.
19:08Happy birthday!
19:09It was the birthday party, you know, for two girls.
19:13Hold up!
19:14I'm talking.
19:15Ding, ding, ding. Lady Cat's got something to say.
19:17Hold up! Hold up! Hold up! Hold up! Hold up!
19:20Quiet down! Quiet down! Quiet down!
19:22Redhead over there, I don't know your name.
19:24I thought that was rude!
19:26I'm going to have to say.
19:27Say whatever you want to say.
19:29It's crazy.
19:31Lady Cat.
19:32She is a handful.
19:33Crazy freak. I swear to God, she needs to stay the way from me because I will slap her.
19:37But she'll tell me what's not right or wrong about my personality.
19:40Yeah, is she a man?
19:41You know, I'm just looking at her and I'm like, damn, that's the way I used to act?
19:44Two, three.
19:48I'm, like, ready to go out, ready to get, like, stress off of my, off of my back.
19:54We get to Griffith Park.
19:56We're, like, all excited.
19:57We're, like, happy little girls about it.
19:59I love that we're outside right now.
20:01Is it in the hotel?
20:01Great.
20:02You have the dirty knees almost?
20:05Bye!
20:05I was walking through the cracks and it's, like, bees just flying up from everywhere
20:12and I'm not used to bees just flying and touching me.
20:14You need to move, girl.
20:15You need to move.
20:16You walk this way.
20:17But it's crazy.
20:17I want to tell you, be cool.
20:20Don't tell somebody, what the fuck do you know, I'm cool.
20:22Be cool.
20:22During the birthday celebration, Lady Cat cussed everybody out of me.
20:25Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot.
20:26She's a little like me.
20:28I used to be like her.
20:29Be on your best pair because it's not worth it.
20:31You have for one reason, not to beat up on everybody.
20:32I felt like that was my place to step in and give her the most advice that I can.
20:36You know, just chill.
20:37But I'm still competing against her.
20:39These bees are crazy.
20:41And I've reached out.
20:41Okay, that's it!
20:43Wait a minute!
20:45Come on, baby!
20:50Hello!
20:50My name is Mary, and this is my second chance.
20:54Good seeing you again!
20:57I'm not going to pull back.
20:58I'm not going to not show my emotion when I should have, so they really know who I am.
21:02What was one through your mind when you didn't make it last time?
21:04I felt like something had just been freaked out.
21:06This is the first time in my life I felt like I'd been alive.
21:08Like, I was like, wow, I'm doing what I want to do, and I'm so excited, and I'm so confident.
21:11And then, I don't know, that's horrible.
21:14I hope this can happen for me.
21:15So, Rachel, why are you here?
21:18Why am I here?
21:19Why not?
21:20You'd be representing more of a plus size.
21:22I'm down with that.
21:22My competition is everybody.
21:25Whether they're skinny and tall, or voluptuous and larger than me.
21:31Anything that I can do, I'll do it.
21:34As long as I ain't showing a nipple, I'm good to go.
21:36My grandparents are dead.
21:38I have no one to disgrace.
21:39Hi!
21:40My name is Alexandria.
21:41I am 19, and I am from Fort Collins, Colorado.
21:46Growing up, they kind of wanted me in special ed, just because I had a really bad speech impediment.
21:51They actually had me on the short bus, oh, the special bus is waiting for you.
21:54Well, a lot of actors and models and a lot of musicians rode the short bus to school.
21:59I don't know if you know that, but it's true.
22:01No big deal.
22:02I see myself doing something extraordinary with my life, having people see me for who I am.
22:07Bye!
22:07Bye!
22:08My name's Christina, I'm 24, and I live in Tallahassee and go to Florida State.
22:13Do you tan?
22:14I do lay out sometimes, yes.
22:16Okay.
22:16You're looking like my cousin.
22:17You're looking a little negro over there.
22:19I'm from Florida, sorry.
22:20You seem to have, like, a really tough exterior.
22:22I mean, I do have confidence, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm not cocky, but I do, like, carry
22:26myself well, I always have.
22:27When people first meet me, they're like, oh, she's stuck up.
22:29You know what?
22:30It really doesn't even faze me anymore.
22:33Brita.
22:34Brita.
22:35Hi, how are you guys?
22:36Did your mom and daddy talk like this?
22:38Yes.
22:38My parents are from Latvia.
22:40Where is that?
22:41It's next to Lithuania, which more people have heard of.
22:44Growing up, I might have been traveling the world.
22:48This is my front door.
22:49We had a nice house, we had decent cars.
22:52So you grew up really wealthy.
22:53Pretty wealthy, compared to most people.
22:55Now you're a waitress.
22:56My dad broke his back, so he couldn't support our family.
23:00Pretty much, I've just been kind of on my own.
23:02I pay my own bills.
23:02People talk down to me because I'm a waitress.
23:05That's fine.
23:05I'm trying to strive for something else.
23:08That's why I'm here, trying to pursue my dream.
23:11My name's Noelle, and I represent Marino, Nevada.
23:15This is a picture of me and my son.
23:17I had a baby kind of young, not that I regret it at all.
23:20Tell me your experience about being young and being pregnant, the guy.
23:24Well, I'm still with him.
23:24We've been together for three and a half years.
23:26We didn't know I was pregnant until I was five months.
23:28I have endometriosis really severely.
23:31I mean, I'm not supposed to be able to have kids.
23:33Endometriosis has to do with your reproductive system, and it's not curable.
23:36It's something that you're born with.
23:37It's not something that you have control over.
23:38It's very painful.
23:40I gave birth, and he changed my life.
23:42He is my miracle baby.
23:44I mean, I have a kid.
23:45I'm not supposed to be able to.
23:46I've gained a sense of self-confidence and a feeling of self-worth that is just...
23:49You can't replace it.
23:50Thank you very much.
23:54Now that we've met each girl individually,
23:56we wanted to compare them next to each other in a lingerie walk-off
23:59to see if they could serve it.
24:02All righty, it's a walk-off.
24:03Your last chance for your last impression.
24:06Fierce!
24:07Work in!
24:14Fierce!
24:15So how was this whole process?
24:28Awesome.
24:30Scary?
24:31This is the kind of scary that can change your life.
24:34That's right.
24:35So bye-bye!
24:36Bye!
24:45Have you guys been having fun?
24:47Yeah!
24:49Yeah, but we know what I have to say, right?
24:51Yeah!
24:52Tomorrow morning, we're having our big elimination.
24:55First thing in the morning, a large portion of you girls are going to have to go home.
24:59Unfortunately, I've got to leave you with that tonight.
25:01Good luck to all of you, though.
25:05I do have that nervousness inside of me that hopes that I'm not going home.
25:09We asked you to come into our careers, God.
25:11This is my dream.
25:13But at the same time, I believe what God has for me is for me.
25:16So if this is for me, I'm going to get it.
25:18Amen.
25:18God, I'm so nervous.
25:23I am petrified.
25:25Aww.
25:26It's okay.
25:28We were all in there crying like we was on Oprah.
25:30Hey, you guys.
25:30All that makeup is gone.
25:33Y'all are some ugly bitches.
25:35It'll be hard getting cut.
25:37Well, them getting cut.
25:38It's going to be hard.
25:39I don't know how many they're going to cut now.
25:49Hopefully, I'm not one of them.
25:50We now have to do our first cut.
25:53We're going to go down from 35 to 20.
25:57In the room behind me, there are 20 portfolios on the table.
26:01Each portfolio has the photograph of one girl inside.
26:04And those photographs represent the 20 women
26:09that will be moving on to the next level of competition
26:11on America's Next Top Model.
26:15I've never had to go through anything like this.
26:17It's the most nervous I've ever been.
26:20Are you ready?
26:20Yeah!
26:22One, two, three.
26:25I guess I'm going to go through it.
26:27I guess I'm going to go through it.
26:29As soon as you walk into that room,
26:30doubt freaking knocks you right in the back of the head.
26:33Really, am I going to make this?
26:34Oh, my God, thank you so much.
26:43Life is looking up.
26:45I've got a portfolio, so I'm loving it right now.
26:48I love it.
26:53Michelle, where are you? Michelle!
26:54Oh, hell yeah!
26:58I'm feeling total tears of joy right now.
27:01They didn't pick any other personalized girls
27:03for me to even compete with
27:04if I can be America's next top plus-size model.
27:08I wasn't crying when I saw my book,
27:12but I cried when I saw them not having a book.
27:14And just to see these girls,
27:20so hard, so hard.
27:25I didn't make the cat
27:26something so big that you've wanted for so long.
27:31It's officially over now.
27:35Stop crying.
27:36Crying.
27:37It's elusive.
27:37I feel great, because I'm still living F-9 lives.
27:40I will win this sucker.
27:42Thank you, G.
27:43Being able to be here and actually see the dream and process coming true is so amazing.
27:51It works.
27:53All the girls are incredible.
27:56I'm seriously impressed.
27:57I don't know how they're going to narrow it down.
27:58The competition, you know, it's a little hard,
28:00and that's why I know I have to put my best to the board.
28:02I've been too far with this to go back.
28:04Who will make the final 14?
28:06Don't go away.
28:07There's more top models coming up.
28:17The remaining 20 girls walked downstairs after the first cut,
28:21and walked into a room.
28:23This is your first picture assignment,
28:26so get in the photo booth and take your own pictures.
28:28I'm trying to take a photo from this studio.
28:30I know, me too.
28:31I can take one.
28:32I definitely think the judges are looking for, you know,
28:34us to get in this photo booth,
28:35and basically just show our personality.
28:36Just look at your eyelashes.
28:37I'm not nervous about the photo shoot.
28:40Just nervous, because I know they're going to be judging it.
28:44Oh.
28:51Oh, this is not working.
28:55I was, like, trying to catch the camera.
28:58Then I'm like, you know, I forget it.
29:00I'm just going to look at the camera,
29:01so my pictures came out pretty messed up.
29:03Screw this thing, you know?
29:05That was, like, the first opportunity
29:07to size up the rest of my competition,
29:09and I totally wanted to give something dynamic.
29:12That's it.
29:15I am going to be myself.
29:17So have you learned things from other girls?
29:19Certain poses and certain bones.
29:21Wow, that looks good.
29:22Let me try it out on me.
29:23Hello.
29:31This little machine takes good picture.
29:32Yeah.
29:35Hello, my fierce Mr. J.
29:37Miss J.
29:38Hey.
29:39We have 20 girls here.
29:41We have to narrow it down to 14,
29:43and they'll be moving into the house.
29:45Okay, so Kenya.
29:46Kenya, she's a little flat.
29:47You don't need everybody to be crazy.
29:49I'm not crazy.
29:50All right.
29:52Tatiana.
29:53She may get a little rough around the edges.
29:55Any girl that can look this fierce in a photo booth
29:58is worth taking a second look at.
30:00Jennifer Bean.
30:01I love a girl that has a horrible runway walk
30:02because it gives you so much to work with.
30:04Kaylin.
30:05There's something I like about a girl
30:07who doesn't know what she's doing
30:09because that means there's the potential
30:11to really teach her something.
30:12UV.
30:13I love the Shelly Duvall, Liza Minnelli thing going on here.
30:16Giraffe lashes.
30:17Yes.
30:18She's a little pear-shaped.
30:19Noelle.
30:20I think that girl pops.
30:21The brightness and the shine that comes from within,
30:23it makes me want to see her in pictures.
30:25But Tyra, can I say no?
30:26Belle.
30:27Ooh.
30:28It's Brittany.
30:29Brittany looks exactly like Janis Dickinson.
30:31Naima.
30:32She's so edgy.
30:33She's just like, mm.
30:34Edgy's one thing, but can we take her further?
30:36Michelle D.
30:37You know how I feel about no neck monsters.
30:38She's got a neck.
30:39She just doesn't know how to carry herself in a room yet.
30:41Brandy.
30:42Do you know what I don't like?
30:43The weave her mom did for her.
30:45I love Brandy's hair.
30:46In fact, she's pissed.
30:48Lindsay.
30:49She's a model from here down.
30:50And Marie Oscar from here.
30:52Brita.
30:53I think she's beautiful
30:54and everything is going so glamorous in fashion.
30:57She could lend herself well to that.
30:59Sarah.
31:00I love this girl's face.
31:01She can give you something.
31:02Estella.
31:03Just because of her story, I want to have her on board.
31:06But that's not a reason to bring a model into the house.
31:09There's so much deadly walk in that girl.
31:11I think she has some.
31:12Rebecca.
31:13I think she's a clean palette.
31:15She's got that little short, simple blonde hair.
31:17But Rebecca's a little actress looking,
31:19and that might not work for her.
31:22Lady cat.
31:23I love Lady cat's body.
31:24Yeah.
31:25And I do love her face.
31:26Tiffany.
31:27There's something about Tiffany that I feel that we can build
31:30and make her more versatile.
31:31I think Lady cat is going to give us one thing.
31:33One, two, three.
31:34Wow.
31:35Mary.
31:36Look at that commercial little shot of her.
31:38Look at this top shot.
31:39She looks so beautiful.
31:40Yeah, but I don't think it's fair, Tyra,
31:42when you put one girl to compete with other girls
31:45that are not the same size.
31:46I know everybody has their favorites,
31:47but six girls have to go home.
31:49God, I don't think I have ever wanted this more in my life.
31:55I feel it with all my heart and my soul.
31:57If I were to win this competition, it would change everything.
32:01Me and my daughter.
32:02It would just be a blessing.
32:04A blessing.
32:05I'm so happy to be here.
32:07It's just so much.
32:08It's overwhelming.
32:09And I'm just used to failing at everything.
32:12Back home, even though my grandmother loved me,
32:14it's a doubt in her mind that Tiffany might not do it.
32:29Hi, ladies.
32:30Hi.
32:31This is the final elimination.
32:35Thousands upon thousands of girls waited in those lines
32:38that you all waited in for hours and hours,
32:40but they're not here.
32:42You all are here.
32:44And that makes you extra special.
32:45And I chose every single one of you to be here.
32:48Fourteen girls tonight will be in the running
32:53towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

34:51Okay, Lynnn!
34:53You are amazing.
34:55Thank you, come over, girl!
34:56Hi.
34:57You are a kiss, girl.
34:58I just didn't breathe for 10 minutes to each day.
35:00I have three names left.
35:01I have three names left.
35:09The next name that I'm going to call...
35:12Tatiana.
35:24Yuvie.
35:25I have seven beautiful girls standing before me.
35:38Seven beautiful girls that came from all across this country.
35:44Seven beautiful girls that are beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.
35:49But I only have one name left.
35:51The last name that I call will complete this group over here and will be the 14th finalist.
36:04The last name that I'm going to call...
36:10Tiffany.
36:16Tiffany, yes!
36:18Yes!
36:20Yes!
36:21Yes!
36:22Yes!
36:22Yes!
36:23Yes!
36:23Yes!
36:24Yes!
36:24Yes!
36:25Yes!
36:26Yes!
36:27Yes!
36:28Yes!
36:28Yes!
36:29Yes!
36:30Oh my God!
36:30Oh my God!
36:31Come on, come on!
36:32Come on, come on, come on!
36:33Come on, come on!
36:34Come on, come on!
36:38I'm glad she made me with it.
36:39Oh my God!
36:41I'm sorry!
36:42She's the girl's out.
36:42Oh!
36:43I'm really disappointed. I just feel like my heart's broken. I feel like I've, I've, I've come so far, and to make it this far and be shut down twice, I just, I just don't understand.
37:10This was going to be a transformation for the positive for me and my daughter, but regardless of the fact, we will come out on top.
37:40So, I wish all the ladies luck.
37:42Oh, dreams can't be this good. They've never felt this good before.
37:46I mean, yes. I'm sorry, honey. Yes.
37:49Oh, my grandma's going to be so happy.
37:52I went from America's most wanted to America's model.
37:55I'm so happy. I'm just happy.
37:57Child. Grandma.
37:59Grandma.
37:59Grandma.
38:00Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
38:19Coming up on America's Next Top Model.
38:22Fashion police.
38:23For their first photo shoot, the girls are put to the test by the best.
38:28There's people walking around.
38:29The new neighborhood doesn't meet their expectations.
38:32But it's their attitude at the makeovers, two of you pissed me off, that crosses the line.
