00:00Modeling for a living can be dazzling, but a girl's first steps toward becoming a model are never easy, but you have to put your best foot forward to make it to the top.
00:24This cycle of America's Next Top Model, thousands of girls tried out.
00:31Modeling is my passion, my dream, my desire.
00:33I'm an only child, I have no siblings, so basically it's about me.
00:37Okay, let's go.
00:38But only a select few got flown to L.A. for semifinals.
00:42After a week of auditions...
00:44I'm a nurse, so if you have some type of weird rash going on, I can look at that.
00:51Can you see the shaking? This is unbelievable.
00:53You picked our final 14.
00:55Yes!
00:56Oh my God!
00:59After 12 weeks of competition, camaraderie, and controversy...
01:03We've gone from 14 girls down to our final three.
01:08Kaylin, Kenya, and Naeem.
01:12Tonight, see how it all went down.
01:14From Rebecca's collapse...
01:15To Michelle's skin condition...
01:19It looks like she's putting out cigarettes on her face.
01:21To my tip with Tiffany.
01:23Be quiet!
01:23I'm on with you!
01:25Stop it!
01:26I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this!
01:29Plus, never-before-seen moments you won't want to miss.
01:32I'm just a bitch judge.
01:34Get used to it.
01:35Some girls get passionate.
01:37And one girl goes over the edge.
01:39I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this!
01:40I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this!
01:41I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this!

01:50I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this!
01:51I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this!
01:52I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this!
01:54For the first three cycles of America's Next Top Model,
02:23I took the girls to New York City to learn about the fashion world.
02:31This time, we shook things up.
02:33You guys are living in Los Angeles.
02:38I brought this group of girls to the city where I got my start, Los Angeles.
02:42Great, I love LA, so let's stay here.
02:43I'm from here, so I am very unhappy that the competition is now in LA.
02:49Today, this is your first photo shoot.
02:53To keep the girls in line, I sent my own fashion police squad.
02:56Top Model Judges, Nigel Barker, Nolay Maren, and Miss Janice Dickinson.
03:00Be afraid, be very afraid.
03:03I think Janice is extremely scary.
03:06She intimidates the crap out of me.
03:08Where did this come from?
03:10Um, this.
03:11The beauty supply store.
03:12What about you?
03:13What'd you get that?
03:14What's this?
03:15No more tattoos.
03:17Why are you so hard sometimes?
03:20If I'm not hard on you in the beginning,
03:22and if I don't say, you know, I got news for you, Brandi,
03:25it ain't gonna fly on your hair by now, bitch,
03:27because the minute you get to both magazines, they're gonna say, what?
03:30So, I'm actually doing you a favor.
03:32I'm just a bitch judge.
03:34Get used to it.
03:37There are a lot of things the girls have to get used to.
03:39Oh, well there.
03:40Like slippery plops.
03:45Uncomfortable clothing.
03:46My feet hurt really bad.
03:48They, like, made me shove my feet into these things,
03:50and I can't even walk in it.
03:52I'm sorry.
03:53I've shoved my feet into things before,
03:55but this really hurt.
03:56She's a model.
03:57She needs to learn how to work it.
03:59And long, long, long hours.
04:02Brandi, you're not feeling it right now.
04:05Why not?
04:06Because I was late so long.
04:07I'm not gonna lie.
04:08Brandi, Brandi, Brandi.
04:09You can be as miserable as you like in between shots,
04:11but when you come onto the set,
04:12you know, I'm looking for someone that's gonna,
04:13wow, everybody.
04:16Brita had been waiting even longer to start a modeling career.
04:19I'm 25.
04:20I'm not 18.
04:20I know I only have a couple more years before.
04:22People are gonna start thinking I'm too old.
04:23It's kind of the make it or break it point.
04:25But on set, her self-consciousness got the best of her.
04:28I'm wearing completely sheer underwear,
04:30and I'm sorry, I can't position to be comfortable
04:32when my skirt keeps falling up.
04:34She's a side of me.
04:37The girls were dead tired after the shoot.
04:39But they came back to life when they saw their new home,
04:41a luxurious loft in downtown L.A.
04:44Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
04:47Oh, my God.
04:50Our new home is incredible.
04:52It's more than we thought.
04:54New houses.
04:55Beautiful.
04:57Oh, my God.
04:58As the other girls started to settle in, Brandy started to complain.
05:05I'm sorry, y'all playing. I don't have time.
05:08I eat all these light foods, okay? I eat fat, I eat fat, I eat food with fat, okay?
05:13Brandy, I've noticed that she's grumpy at times, has a bad attitude, and if you put negative energy out, it's gonna come back to you.
05:19This is our suitcase. Right there! Y'all are crazy!
05:23The next day, Brandy woke up with a few kinks that she needed to work out.
05:27Oh my gosh, this is very nice!
05:29Yesterday, the man messed up my hair. I'm teasing it.
05:31I'm looking like a fool.
05:33No, you look beautiful.
05:36I mean, come on.
05:37Okay, tell the truth. Just tell the truth.
05:40They're gonna give me a makeover anyways.
05:42But Brandy wasn't the only one having a bad hair day.
05:45It was time for the girls to be made over.
05:48Sarah, we're gonna give you a very Peter Pan-inspired haircut.
05:52Michelle, we're gonna make you ice blonde girl.
05:55Miss Brandy, we have thought about you, and we decided, girl, that you are fierce!
06:01Yes!
06:02And we ain't doing nothing to you!
06:04No, no, no.
06:06When she told me I was gonna keep the afro, I was just like, why?
06:09Because I wanted a drastic change so bad.
06:12But after I took a closer look at Brandy's hair, I decided she did need a makeover.
06:16Brandy, I'm gonna have to take this off, Princess.
06:18It's like matted.
06:19This is doing me good. This is doing me good.
06:27Some girls were excited about their makeovers.
06:29I'm gonna look hot.
06:31Some girls were worried.
06:32You guys do this all the time?
06:33I'm freaking out.
06:34What?
06:35When they told me they were gonna cut off my hair, I was a little nervous.
06:38You're out of control with scissors.
06:39But when they saw the final results, they all felt fabulous.
06:42Y'all look incredible.
06:43I love it.
06:44I love it.
06:45I love it.
06:46I love it.
06:47Except Brandy.
06:48Whoa.
06:49Where are the eyebrows?
06:50You know, I can't even be sexy no more.
06:52Oh my God.
06:53When I came back to check in on the girls, I heard there had been some attitude.
06:58You pissed me off.
07:00I don't appreciate that.
07:01And you know who you are?
07:03The next time I see you will be at judging.
07:08At judging, it came down to Brandy's bad attitude and Brita's bad photo.
07:12You're the finest heckin' person, but on film, it's just not working.
07:16You look worried.
07:17You look old.
07:18Brandy, why do you act this way?
07:20I'm trying to be, I guess, real.
07:23There's a difference between being real and professional.
07:26There's somewhere in the middle.
07:27If you go on a job interview, you keep it real and say, I'm tired.
07:30I've been up all night.
07:31My baby was crying.
07:32And what you need me to do?
07:33Sure, that's real.
07:34Does anybody want to hire you?
07:35Real is holding on to your spirit, but adapting to your surroundings.
07:39Your attitude isn't something that these judges want to be around.
07:43That's something I'm going to do.
07:45The judges still saw potential in Brandy, so they decided to send Brita home.
07:49The next morning, the girls took their first steps toward becoming true top models.
07:55A runway lesson from the catwalk diva himself, Miss J. Alexander.
07:59America's next model!
08:04Yay!
08:06Who cheered them on through a crash course in walking the walk.
08:09Bam!
08:10Hit it.
08:11It's not easy walking on grass, is it?
08:13Rebecca attacked a lesson with confidence.
08:15I've been in just a few local mall runway shows, so I just do it feels natural to me.
08:19So I am fairly comfortable with my body and the way it moves and the way I want it to move.
08:23But other girls were having problems.
08:25Michelle, you walk like you have a bit of Bell's palsy on the right side.
08:28Yeah, because you walk like this.
08:31Sarah!
08:32Pick it up!
08:33Pick it up!
08:34Growing up I was the tomboy.
08:35I was very skinny and straight.
08:37So I was like 16 years old.
08:39And I just worked my butt off to be where I am right now.
08:42I feel like I'm at the races with the tortoise in the air and Sarah that you're the tortoise.
08:47Still, Sarah felt she was far from the worst walker.
08:50Let me just show you what I want to show you.
08:51Yeah, I want to show you.
08:52Okay.
08:53I love impressions.
08:54This is how I walk.
08:55Okay, granted, it's not that great, but whatever.
08:57Okay?
08:58That's how much I want to show you.
09:01I tell you, I don't walk like that!
09:03It's not that bad!
09:04I'm not that bad!
09:05Sarah's troubles continued to dog her in the next photo shoot.
09:10I don't feel like you're connecting with me.
09:12I think you're looking too much at the set.
09:13You're not, you're not!
09:14I need to connect with me faster.
09:16When it comes down to it, I don't know if I have as much potential as the next person
09:19has.
09:20That was a little bit of wrecking.
09:21Although Sarah fell flat, Rebecca was unshakable.
09:23I love it!
09:24Yeah, there you go!
09:25Yeah!
09:28Until a shocking surprise at judging.
09:30You need to work on your presence.
09:31I didn't feel that you embrace...
09:35Oh my God!
09:36Woo!
09:37Oh my God!
09:38You look really pretty.
09:45The most important thing, you look like a supermodel.
09:52You know, I'm sure the girls, but I just got nervous and had an anxiety attack.
09:55But for 19 years, I've had a condition where, you know, pass out for no reason, anywhere,
09:59anytime.
10:00Doesn't matter.
10:01If I'm not eliminated tonight, I will be back tomorrow.
10:05This is stronger than ever.
10:06I'm not going to let this get me down.
10:08I'm not looking.
10:09I'm not going to let this get me down.
10:12Feeling better that night, Rebecca was able to return.
10:14Rebecca.
10:18You scared all of us so much tonight, Rebecca.
10:20I know, I'm so sorry.
10:21I'm so sorry, but I admire your tenacity, and I admire you returning.
10:26Though Rebecca recovered from her feigning spell, in the end, Sarah couldn't recover from her shaky walk in stiff photos.
10:35So much has happened this cycle that we couldn't fit everything in.
10:38Here's another moment from the top model vault you've never seen before.
10:42I love Lady Cat.
10:49One, two, three.
10:50Wow.
10:51Coming up, the girls blow off the scene.
10:54Run!
10:54Get her!
10:56And Britney goes overboard.
11:03Sometimes when girls come to America's next top model, they bring baggage.
11:07And Tiffany's was her temper.
11:12That snake hole poured the beer on my weave.
11:15But after taking anger management classes, she returned with a new attitude.
11:18I don't jump on people and throw glasses and stuff like that anymore.
11:22Having changed her attitude, Tiffany's next project was branded.
11:25I called way in the kitchen.
11:26I said, after Noel, I was going to use the phone.
11:29You weren't out here, sweetie, and we've all been waiting for lunch.
11:31I mean, if y'all want to get rude about it, then we can get rude.
11:34We're going to be like, what is this?
11:35You do come off like a bitch sometimes.
11:38You do.
11:39And you got to change that.
11:40So you have to figure out, do you want to be a model?
11:42So, okay, so you can change your attitude because you have to stink.
11:47But sometimes the old Tiffany will take control, and she'd lose it.
11:51This is it.
11:53I would go over there and help her, but, like, the smell vomit will make me vomit myself.
11:58So I'm like, okay, I don't want to be the other girl that vomits, right?
12:01I'm stuck.
12:01I'm stuck.
12:02I'm stuck.
12:02I'm stuck.
12:02I'm stuck.
12:04Tiffany was still paying for that dinner the next morning.
12:08I think I'm still drunk.
12:09Drink it.
12:10I'm not drinking it.
12:11It's hard.
12:12You got to drink it.
12:13I'm still up.
12:15But Tiffany's day was about to get even tougher.
12:18One of the challenges in modeling is dealing with difficult personalities.
12:21So I arranged for the models to meet a tough photographer.
12:24I was instructed to pretty much tear them for shreds.
12:26Let's do it.
12:27Ah!
12:28I could bring a mule over here.
12:30It'll give me a better posture and better hitting the ball, okay?
12:32Hit the mark.
12:33The mark is there for a reason.
12:34Ah!
12:35Without the fake smile.
12:36Lose the fake smile.
12:38Stop.
12:38Stop with the ball.
12:39Stop with the ball.
12:40Here goes nothing.
12:40I hope not.
12:41I don't know if he didn't get hugged enough as a child.
12:44I just know that he's mean and I don't like him.
12:46You can do it.
12:46It's simple.
12:47It is.
12:48I just really like it.
12:49Go to a happy place.
12:51It's freaking me out.
12:52No.
12:54Every girl handled the pressure differently.
12:56Tiffany barely kept herself in check.
12:58You're wasting my time and everybody else's then.
13:01Want to pound his head in with that tinnabrake.
13:03But don't look scared.
13:04You're looking scared.
13:05Kalen broke down.
13:07Nobody has the right to treat anyone like that.
13:09Naima remains calm.
13:10I had to laugh at this guy.
13:13And Brandi, she took it out on Tatiana.
13:15I was making a joke to make myself laugh.
13:18Don't say nice to me.
13:19If we didn't get kicked off for hitting somebody, your ass would be toe up right now because I
13:22ain't safe.
13:23I'm sure, Brandi.
13:23I really don't see Brandi working on her attitude or her tact right now, which is sad.
13:27The judges gave her another chance and I don't think she's using that.
13:31Her attitude spilled over into the Zodiac photo shoot where Brandi couldn't stop complaining.
13:36So I'm like the longest one, huh?
13:37Well, yeah.
13:39What the fuck?
13:40No, you're not.
13:41You're not going anywhere.
13:44There's something about the photo and the face.
13:47There's something I'm not feeling.
13:49There's no passion in the eyes.
13:50The photographer there was like, okay, give me sassy.
13:53Wait a minute.
13:53Okay, two sassy.
13:54Wait a minute.
13:54Move to the left.
13:54Move to the right.
13:55So, Brandi, have you had other jobs?
13:56Like, how many other jobs have you had?
13:58I think I had like four jobs.
13:59So four jobs means four bosses.
14:01And four bosses with four different types of style of how they deal with their employees.
14:05Same with photographers.
14:06There's different personalities and you have to figure out how to handle all of them in a different way.
14:10In the end, the judges couldn't get past Brandi's attitude.
14:14So they sent her home.
14:16Being a top model means being away from your family.
14:21And Noelle had the hardest time.
14:23Hi, baby boy.
14:24Hey, sister.
14:26Kissy, kissy, kissy.
14:28It's really like an indescribable feeling when you feel like you're missing literally a part of yourself.
14:33I know she's a proud mother, but Noelle talks constantly about her child 24-7.
14:39My body matures a lot from having a baby.
14:40Once you have a baby, my son was taking a nap for a good hour and a half.
14:45That's the day after he was born.
14:46Look how perfect he looks already.
14:48I love my baby.
14:49I miss my baby.
14:50I want to talk to my baby.
14:51Oh, yeah.
14:52You know my baby.
14:52Okay, we got it.
14:53You have a kid.
14:54Next.
14:55When Michelle woke up with open sores all over her face, Noelle's thoughts turned from her baby to her safety.
15:02That's not a bug bite.
15:03It looks like she's putting out cigarettes on her face.
15:05I want to know about it because I don't want that to happen to my face.
15:08There is some great bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics.
15:13You can get pneumonia and die from the pneumonia.
15:16Oh.
15:17It is an hour over the night for better than you.
15:19I'm seeing bacteria that just ends your world by antibiotics.
15:23And an itching epidemic exploded.
15:25What?
15:29Woo!
15:29It's...
15:32Oh, I'm going to go!
15:33While Michelle visited a dermatologist...
15:38Have you ever heard of impetigo?
15:40No.
15:41It's usually caused by bacteria, and it's easily treatable, and probably will go away fairly quickly.
15:46Appreciate it.
15:47You're welcome.
15:48The girls faced a complex photo shoot where they had to portray different ethnicities while juggling a glass of milk and a heavy toddler.
15:55You're giving the kids, and they're like, oh, please.
15:57You got the child selection.
15:59Oh, all right.
16:00Please, right?
16:00Yeah, I'm just slipping here.
16:04You are slipping, huh?
16:06Oh, it's a big...
16:07Don't pull out her hat.
16:12You're welcome.
16:13You know how we come, sweetie?
16:14Bye-bye.
16:16All right.
16:17Michelle returned with the doctor's approval.
16:19It'll clear up.
16:20It's contagious.
16:23But she wasn't allowed to pose with a toddler.
16:25You need to bond with your child.
16:27It's not going to be heavy like a restaurant.
16:28And some of the girls thought this was unfair.
16:31Okay, well, she needs to fit this child's hat.
16:32No, no.
16:33We got to go home.
16:33We got to put the lights in that thing.
16:35We got to go home.
16:37It's not a sorority.
16:39It's a mom's competition.
16:44How was the big baby?
16:45It was light.
16:46She comes out of the chute and says,
16:48Oh, yeah, I only had a half-pound baby.
16:50I want to take that dark wig off Michelle's head
16:53and say, You're right.
16:54You only had a half-pound baby
16:55because you scratched your face,
16:56you got bacteria on your face,
16:57and now you're not capable.
16:59But in the end, it was Noelle who didn't measure up.
17:02Noelle, the judges see you, and they say,
17:04She doesn't really look like a model in person.
17:06And she was sent home.
17:07The person I personally think should have gone home
17:10was Michelle.
17:11Well, that soft, silent, sweet little attitude
17:13that you put on for the judges
17:14isn't really who you are.
17:17And sooner or later, that'll come out.
17:25The pressure of America's Next Top Model
17:27affects each girl in a different way.
17:30Some girls turn silly.
17:31Who are you saying?
17:32Who are you saying?
17:33Who are you saying?
17:34I'm going to get off the top.
17:38There's a word of her.
17:39There's a word of her.
17:40There's a word of her.
17:41I don't know if she's playing for the game.
17:42There's a word of her.
17:44All right, true.
17:45Okay, true.
17:46Some girls shut down.
17:54And some handle the stress by going wild.
17:59And wild.
18:02And wild.
18:03I think that I am definitely the entertainment.
18:05What are they going to do without me if I leave?
18:07There's never a dull moment with that girl.
18:11Right here.
18:12Go for it.
18:13There you go.
18:17Put your feet this way.
18:19Put your head back this way.
18:20Come here.
18:22Right there.
18:22If anything, Brittany's having a little bit too much fun.
18:27At a cover girl party,
18:29the girls work to impress industry insiders.
18:31I'm learning a lot about the women around me
18:33and how we can help each other tomorrow.
18:35Right.
18:35It feels like I'm dreaming and I'm going to wake up any day now.
18:38While the other girls work the room,
18:40Brittany was busy working on the bus.
18:41I'm like, drink!
18:44Brittany, she wanted a drink and she was going to have a drink
18:46and that was all.
18:47Brittany, they were a little concerned.
18:49They thought your priority was more about your drinking
18:51than meeting everybody at the party.
18:53No one wants to hear negative feedback.
18:55It's hurtful.
18:56It's very nerve-wracking.
18:58Feeling overwhelmed,
18:59Brittany turned to her roommate, Kenya,
19:00and found a friend.
19:02Like, I really think you're special.
19:03If I'm in a room and you're not around,
19:05it's like, where's Brittany?
19:08You have presents.
19:09I feel like the room is full.
19:10It can be just me and you
19:11and it'll feel like everybody's here.
19:13Thank you a lot.
19:14I just can't help.
19:15I love you.
19:18At the next photo shoot,
19:19the girls had to raise the element.
19:25A determined Brittany blew Jay away.
19:30She was very reminiscent of the early Janice Dickinson.
19:33She looked great.
19:35Yubi, be playful.
19:36Smile, smile, laugh.
19:38But Yubi brought him crashing down to earth.
19:41She looks like a drag queen.
19:44You never played sexy in the shower, did you?
19:45Never.
19:46Ever.
19:47Go home,
19:48played sexy in the shower,
19:49you have the water on,
19:50and you feel like you're the hottest thing
19:52since sliced bread.
19:53You're a beautiful girl.
19:54You need to start realizing this.
19:56Yubi had a unique beauty,
19:58but she didn't know how to put that on a picture.
20:00So it was her turn to go home.
20:01Take care, Joel.
20:02Thank you, guys.
20:07Here's another moment from the top model vault.
20:10You have to sell your product to us.
20:12It's got a fruity smell,
20:14and, um,
20:15it's...
20:18Tatiana.
20:22I...
20:23really, um,
20:27just here.
20:27I don't know what to say.
20:29Because you didn't know what to say.
20:31Coming up,
20:31Tiffany tries something new.
20:33Sushi!
20:34Group is done.
20:34Margo, go to the club.
20:36And some special guests surprise the group.
20:38My mom is here.
20:39I'm going to wander up
20:40and wander up.
20:41Hey.
20:45Being a top model
20:46means managing many new experiences.
20:48Some girls deal with this better than others.
20:51Sushi!
20:51I'm not used to eating raw stuff.
20:55I'm used to having to cook the bird or something.
20:59Here, try that one.
21:03Try that.
21:04Try that thing.
21:04Try the one.
21:05Tiffany, she doesn't eat a lot when we go out
21:10because she's just, like,
21:11really not used to the food
21:12and she really doesn't like it.
21:14She's going to break the menu stuff, y'all.
21:15This whole experience
21:17is totally different
21:18from anything I've ever been in my whole life.
21:21And it feels like everybody else
21:22is a little bit more comfortable than me.
21:24As if even foreign food wasn't enough,
21:29next, Tiffany had to learn a foreign way of speaking.
21:31As models,
21:32you'll be called on to have a lot in your bag of tricks.
21:36I'm going to teach you a dialect.
21:38Cockney.
21:39Cockney?
21:40I could barely speak English.
21:42To top it off,
21:43she had to use the accent
21:44in a scene with sexy actor Boris Koja.
21:47What?
21:48Oh, no!
21:51It's not one of those scenes
21:52where I could be cute around Boris.
21:55I have to have a damn listen to
21:57right in the middle of my mouth.
22:01Well, hello there, governor.
22:03Lovely day, isn't it?
22:05I haven't noticed.
22:06While the sun's shining,
22:08the sky's sparkling blue.
22:13I can't remember
22:14no stupidness like English Cockney.
22:17I'm really embarrassed.
22:19Maybe I can't be this person that,
22:21this model girl,
22:21then maybe that's not who I am.
22:24Frustrated by the competition,
22:26Tiffany called her grandmother to vent.
22:27I can't take somebody looking down on me,
22:29trying to make me feel like I'm less than myself.
22:31So I realized I'm going to be the best Tiffany I can be.
22:33They can either love it or don't.
22:34This is something that you have to go through.
22:37You ain't no quitter.
22:38You are a fighter.
22:40I'm not going to quit.
22:43At the photo shoot,
22:44it was Rebecca's turn to struggle.
22:48Oh, jeez.
22:50I'm not excited like some of the girls here.
22:51I'm engaged.
22:52I'm about to be married when I get home,
22:53so it's a little awkward.
22:55Okay, now the estrogen's really flowing.
22:57Or horny.
22:58Whatever, it's right here.
22:58Right here, I'm ready.
22:59Work it out.
23:00Oh, it's good.
23:01You're good, girl.
23:02Christina, pass it out.
23:04Hold that pillow, girl.
23:05Hold that pillow.
23:06I'm your friend with it.
23:09Come on, Tiffany.
23:12I see this as my test.
23:14If I can pull this off, then great.
23:15Hopefully I'll get to stick around,
23:16but I'm really terrified.
23:18Oh, hit him.
23:19Look at him.
23:22There you go.
23:23There you go.
23:24I don't know if I have a picture
23:26the judges are going to be happy with.
23:27I've never walked away from any photo shoot
23:29going, yes, I nailed it.
23:30I don't know.
23:30I think we all got hairballed.
23:32Yes, we do.
23:33For the judging challenge,
23:35the girls had to put their new acting skills to the test
23:37and become correspondents.
23:39Every girl struggled.
23:40Hi, Michelle here.
23:42It's Fashion Week in Paris.
23:43Can you say...
23:45Magneta?
23:46Magenta?
23:47Easy mind.
23:49I see me ache.
23:50Hmm.
23:52Look just to the left.
23:54Au revoir.
23:55And once again, Tiffany gave up on herself.
23:59I can't do this.
24:00Tiffany, the other girls did not know these words.
24:02Just have fun with it.
24:03Use your personality.
24:04Be you.
24:08While the judges deliberated,
24:10Tiffany shared her frustration with the other girls.
24:12I quit the whole thing.
24:14Oh, and we had to go.
24:15Horrible.
24:16A part of me kind of gave up on the inside.
24:18So, I wasn't being the best Tiffany I can be.
24:20Every week, I do something stupid.
24:22I mess up with something.
24:23Anyway, they're making me hate this.
24:25I don't want to seem like I'm ungrateful for being here.
24:28I love being here.
24:29But I was tired of it.
24:30And I feel like today, I want to go.
24:33Tiffany was ready to go.
24:35But Rebecca was about to hear some hard news.
24:41Both of you will pack your bags.
24:44Return to the phone.
24:49But when Tiffany laughed off her elimination,
24:51I got frustrated with her attitude.
24:53Tiffany, I'm extremely disappointed in you.
24:57This is a joke to you.
24:58I'm hurt.
24:59But every time I come here, it's,
25:01oh, you have a bad attitude.
25:01I don't have a bad attitude.
25:03Maybe I am angry inside.
25:04I've been through stuff, so I'm angry.
25:06Yes, but this is not...
25:07Be quiet, Tiffany.
25:08Be quiet!
25:09That's what is wrong with you.
25:10Stop it!
25:13I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this.
25:16I was rooting for you.
25:19Learn something from this.
25:21You go to bed at night, you later,
25:22and you take responsibility for yourself.
25:24Because nobody's going to take responsibility for you.
25:27You roll in your eyes and you act like this
25:28because you've heard it all before.
25:30Take responsibility for yourself.
25:36Anybody else who tell me to shut up,
25:38I would have snapped them.
25:39But she was right.
25:40Because she could have easily said,
25:41okay, whatever.
25:42You know, bye.
25:43Dad showed me that she saw deeply into me
25:45and she cared about me.
25:47And that's cool knowing that, you know,
25:48Tyra cares about you.
25:49I have the utmost respect for her.
25:52I'm going to go back home and have a good life now
25:54and be the best Tiffany I can be.
25:57I'm really disappointed right now.
25:59But I'm going home to get married.
26:00And we'll take it from there.
26:02When Tyra was yelling at Tiffany,
26:11I understood, like, where she was coming from
26:13because, you know, Tyra is really passionate.
26:15So today we're kind of feeling like,
26:17wow, we need to move it up a little bit.
26:19Oh, baby.
26:20The next day, the girls got a lesson in interviewing
26:23from Entertainment Tonight's Jan Carl.
26:25I am here today to teach you how to act
26:27when you are thrown into the media spotlight.
26:29Christina and Tatiana learned that they needed
26:32to expand their vocabulary.
26:34Hi, I'm Christina with Entertainment Tonight,
26:35and we are actually here with America's Next Top Model, Tatiana.
26:38Actually, I have a few questions for you.
26:40Actually, I was wondering,
26:41has there been any designers or any models
26:43that have inspired you or any family members?
26:45Actually, my cousin, he's actually, you know,
26:48always pushed me and pushed me and myself.
26:50I push myself a lot, actually.
26:53It's a lot more difficult than you actually think it is,
26:55so I'm glad we had the experience, actually.
26:56Christina and Tatiana tanked at the lesson,
27:00but made a major comeback at the challenge
27:01with rapper, actress, designer E.
27:03Where did you get the name Fetish from?
27:05Where did you come up with that?
27:06And if you could sum up your line,
27:07as far as attitude-wise, in one word, what would it be?
27:10That's hard.
27:12Hello again.
27:14Tatiana thought that she had the competition in the bag.
27:16But the winner of the challenge is Christina.
27:19Oh, thank you.
27:20I thought I did a really good job,
27:23and so I'm just, like, kind of bummed a little bit.
27:25There's something else that comes with winning this challenge,
27:28but you have to pick a friend to enjoy it with.
27:30Brittany.
27:31Okay.
27:32Yeah!
27:33Their prize was a visit from some special guests.
27:35Brittany!
27:36Oh, my God!
27:37Oh, my God!
27:39Oh, my God!
27:40I can't believe my mom is here.
27:42My mom is here.
27:45I was like, where's my mom?
27:46And then I remembered Brittany and Christina won the challenge,
27:49so only their mommies are here.
27:51We can pretend we're your mamas.
27:53They look like their moms.
27:55The big eyes.
27:56You see that little lip?
27:57There's no top lip there.
27:58They act and talk like their moms.
28:01What have you been doing until you came here?
28:02We found a nice love.
28:04Your mom was dancing with six hikers.
28:08Brittany's mom has a sense of humor just like Brady.
28:10Oh, yeah.
28:11Oh, and you have to wander up and wander up tight.
28:15It is great!
28:17Having Brittany and Christina's moms around made Kaelin miss her family.
28:24But calls home didn't always end happily.
28:27I checked my messages, and one of my friends from high school had passed away.
28:34I don't know if I can handle this.
28:35In a chilling coincidence, that week's photo shoot took place in a cemetery.
28:41You girls are going to have to portray one of these seven deadly sins at the bottom of
28:46this eight-foot grave.
28:48Kaelin tried to keep her emotions in check, but having to pose in an open grave pushed her
28:52over the edge.
29:03Kaelin was able to use her rage to embody the deadly sin of wrath and put it in her photograph.
29:08Yeah, that's great.
29:09Just keep it right there.
29:10Nice.
29:14Okay, one more.
29:16In the end, Kaelin pushed through her grief for a stunning photograph.
29:20But Tatiana couldn't make the grave.
29:23Tatiana, on a global level, even for the United States, is not top model.
29:27She just isn't.
29:29So we sent her home.
29:31I'm very disappointed in myself.
29:34But at the same time, I just...
29:36Maybe it wasn't the right path for me.
29:40And now, some more model moments from the top model vault.
29:43So now, of course you guys know, we have a crazy panel of judges, starting with...
29:47Why am I the crazy?
29:48I don't know why you're crazy, Janice.
29:50Come on, we'd strangle you.
29:51All righty.
29:52Can we both do tonight?
29:53I love you, Janice.
29:54Well, wait a minute.
29:55I'm asking...
29:55Oh, shut up, Janice.
29:57Shut up.
29:58Shut up, Janice.
29:58You better then shut me up.
29:59That's not possible.
30:00The lovely, sane...
30:02Janice Dickinson.
30:03Coming up next, it's a night of passion in the judging room.
30:09And in the house.
30:13High fashion happens all over the world.
30:16So I have the girls pack their bags to head for South Africa.
30:20Goodbye, L.A.
30:21The girls were excited to begin their South African adventure.
30:24Here, here.
30:25I've worked at the South African.
30:28But Michelle felt as alone on the plane, as she often felt in the house.
30:34I think the girls perceive me as a loner, and I've been trying to connect with them more.
30:39Once again, everyone's leaving me here.
30:43I think I have a ways to go.
30:51When the girls got to South Africa, the determined Michelle tried to relate.
30:55You read the packet it said, when you're in a conversation, don't put your hands in your pocket.
30:59You cut up your don't point with your index finger.
31:02Well, that's the same rule as in America.
31:04We can do that in America either.
31:05That night, the girls had some quiet time to reflect.
31:10I've learned more in this past month from you guys than I think I have in school or, you know, anything.
31:15Because this experience just kind of throws everything at you at once.
31:18Oh, yeah.
31:19From the very first start of this, I was a little more timid-side, sort of.
31:24Well, this experience kind of, like, makes you confront who you are.
31:28Oh, yeah.
31:28Not the person that you pretend to be on the outside.
31:30It makes you deal with the person that you are.
31:32I think Michelle's made the most progress out of any of us.
31:35You know, picture after picture, she's like, Michelle, is that you?
31:38The only thing that Michelle needs now is to learn how to just relax and let some of those nerves out and some of the tension out.
31:45Kenya had concerns of her own, like her recent weight gain.
31:49You're not too fast, you gain that, and you're getting to the major stress.
31:52Kenya can snack like no other.
31:54She has gained about 10 pounds.
31:56So, you think tomorrow if I don't eat?
31:58No, don't ever not eat.
32:00It's like you've been gaining weight.
32:01You just haven't been watching what you eat.
32:02She can jump through, which has tons of sodium, retaining tons of water.
32:06At the photo shoot later that day, Kenya had to portray an elephant with a revealing costume.
32:11The stomach is exposed, it's bloated.
32:14I have to just try to suck it in and work it.
32:17For the judging challenge, the girls had to pose with an object while displaying an emotion.
32:21Naima almost nailed it.
32:23Michelle looked nervous.
32:24Michelle, you look quite scared the whole time.
32:26Kaylin and Christina lacked passion, so Janice decided to show them how it's done.
32:34I can get involved.
32:40That's just all.
32:41That's just girls having fun.
32:42All right.
32:43That's awesome.
32:44During evaluations, Kenya's picture was a big problem.
32:47This photo is really beautiful, Kenya, but I hate to say it.
32:49They had to do a lot of body work on you and retouching.
32:52I think it's all about choices, Kenya.
32:54You can get a burger and take the bread off.
32:56But in the end, this competition proved too much for Michelle.
32:59Michelle, being a top model means being under pressure constantly.
33:03We're not sure if you're strong enough for that.
33:05So we had to send her home.
33:13Back at the hotel, Naima and Christina plotted to put a little passion into Kaylin's confession.
33:18I'm becoming more comfortable with my own, you know, under my skin.
33:25I am still not used to this world.
33:27I'm still on the road to finding out who I truly am.
33:30Kaylin!
33:31Do you want to see passion?
33:33I'm going to see passion.
33:33Come on, show her passion.
33:40Kaylin, I'm going to see you.
33:45Here's Dan.
33:47You want me to take that?
33:48You want me to take that?
33:50There you go, passion!
33:52Okay, back to your confession.
33:53I felt tongue around that grace.
33:55Yep!
33:57Sometimes Christina's very serious.
33:59Like, sometimes I really see Christina just have fun and just, like, joke around and play.
34:05And, like, it's difficult for her to bring that person with her to panel.
34:10When I dropped by for dinner, Christina's coldness was the topic of discussion.
34:14Like, when I'm with these girls, like, I'm so happy and so warm and so funny and stuff.
34:18But when I get in that room, I feel like, for some reason, I hold back when it comes to panel.
34:22And I don't know if it's nerves, intimidation, what it is.
34:24But it's like, I see myself as a totally different person every time I'm in that room.
34:27You have to just pretend we're sitting there in our underwear.
34:29You and your underwear are going to be beautiful, so that's not going to help.
34:34The next day, the girls went on go-sees with the top people in the South African fashion industry.
34:39I'm a little nervous to go in there and have to sell yourself because that's one thing I'm honestly not really good at.
34:44Once again, Christina had trouble warming up.
34:50Kaylin had trouble being edgy.
34:52If you look at your pictures, it looks very innocent.
34:54I think at the moment in South Africa, we definitely got more on edge to it.
34:59But Kenya had no trouble at all being competitive.
35:02Now, you know, I was there first.
35:03I can't say, Kaylin, but I should just wait.
35:04But it's a competition.
35:05Hi.
35:06And Kenya, literally pushing her competitors out of the way.
35:09Sure.
35:10Kenya's very competitive.
35:11That's just how she is.
35:12And I think she feels like she has to step it up even more to make up for her weight.
35:16At the photo shoot, Kaylin still struggles.
35:19Hey, do you feel sexy today?
35:21I don't believe you.
35:22And Kenya was quick to point out Kaylin's faults.
35:26But one thing that I guess you were challenged with today, which was your innocence again.
35:30Remember our ghosty thing?
35:31They said lots of innocence, innocence, innocence.
35:33Yeah, that was just one girl, though.
35:35With Kenya, I feel like she has to cut other people down to make herself feel better about herself.
35:40As the weeks go on, I just, I can't take it.
35:42And although Christina bared her body, she had a hard time baring her soul.
35:47If you walk through my door as an agent, I don't know how I'd sell you because I'm not feeling anything from you.
35:52I don't know where confidence meets cold.
35:54But what we want to see is fire coming from within.
35:58And you're not getting it at all.
35:59So she was sent home.
36:01I know I'm not this cold.
36:03Like, reserved person.
36:06And I just don't know, I don't understand what happened to me.
36:08Being in South Africa made Kenya proud to get in touch with her roots.
36:16It's good to come here.
36:18Not that it's more important to me than them because they're not black.
36:20I'm black.
36:21I'm black.
36:22And I do feel like this is my home.
36:23This is where my roots are.
36:25To me, you know, being black, I was like, that's something that I have to do before I die.
36:29I have to go to Africa.
36:30I've heard her say it so many times.
36:32It just means so much to me because I'm black.
36:33And it's just like, okay, all right, great.
36:35I know this experience means a lot to Naima as well.
36:39The tension grew on a trip to Nelson Mandela's former prison cell.
36:42One of you ladies will have the pleasure to open Mr. Mandela's cell.
36:47Kenya wanted to unlock it.
36:49She thinks just because she's black one that she deserves to open it.
36:53I don't really think of Naima as black.
36:55I just don't see that in her.
36:58My father is black and Mexican Indian.
37:01And my mom is black and Irish.
37:04I'm not the typical black girl, but it means a lot for me being here.
37:081964 to 1982.
37:11That's the courage of that one man kept us going.
37:14I didn't even think that Kenya knew who he was.
37:17She doesn't know if he's alive or not.
37:19So I didn't understand why she was getting so emotional.
37:21And later, the tension exploded.
37:25When he gave her the heat, you cried about it.
37:27You didn't even know if he was still alive or not.
37:31It was an emotional moment for me.
37:32If you were not in my shoes, you don't know how I felt at that moment.
37:35You are just taking this because you're black.
37:37You've said it many times.
37:38What do you think?
37:39Yeah, because I'm black.
37:40Oh, I'm black.
37:40What the hell?
37:41Yes.
37:42Yes.
37:45The fighting took its toll on Brittany, and she wasn't herself during judging.
37:49Personality's just not there.

37:51My girl needs to really spice it up a little bit more.
37:53So we decided to send her home.
