A girl named Cyndel, who referred to herself as an entertainer and told the judges that she worked at a strip club said she considered that stripping "was another part of modeling." Anchal also stood out, principally because of her blue contacts. When asked why she had them in, she said that in India, they found girls with lighter eyes more beautiful. The 33 "semi-finalists" were reduced to twenty-one girls who would go onto the next round. The twenty-one girls participated in a nude photo shoot, of which the more conservative girls struggled between their ambition and upbringing. This episode also introduced Jaslene Gonzalez, the eventual winner of Cycle 8 who failed to make the final cut down to thirteen but re-auditioned for the next season. Also, these pictures were used and shown (heads only) in this opening. (Note, Brooke & Anchal were the only girls not to have their pictures shown). After the field was narrowed down to thirteen girls by the judges, the girls were sent to a runway competition using the clothes from the designers of Elmer Avenue. The contestants had to choose their clothes off the backs of thirteen male models, then "feminize" and wear the outfit down the runway. Melrose was chosen as the winner, allowing her the chance to be "Diva for the Day" on the set of their next photo shoot. At the fashion magazine-inspired house, the contestants were surprised that only eleven beds were available, and maneuvering took place. Monique, who did not get a bed, stole Eugena's and poured water on it, saying it was pee in order to ensure nobody tried to take it off her. The next day, Tyra's dramatic diva appearance kicked off a shoot where the girls were given different model stereotypes to portray, (Anchal's photo would subsequently be used in opening of the show) as follows: Model Stereotypes AJ Casting couch model Amanda Anorexic model Anchal Narcissistic model Brooke Back-stabbing model CariDee Dumb blonde Christian Model-turned-actress Eugena Black girl-turned-white girl Jaeda Plastic surgery model Megan Diva model Megg Drug-addicted model Melrose $10,000 a day model Michelle Bulimic model Monique Cell Phone-throwing model The judges liked Michelle's, CariDee's & AJ's photos but questioned Brooke's, Jaeda's, Christian's & Melrose's. The judges felt that Melrose gave a terrible photo from what she "had to work with", pointing out that she looked older than she was in the photo - this, complemented with her bad attitude on set, saw her in the Bottom two. Christian, also in the Bottom two, was criticized for being "boring", showing lack of variations in her shots, and the judges felt that Christian had less potential than Melrose, therefore sending her home. Bottom two: Christian Evans & Melrose Bickerstaff Eliminated: Christian Evans Featured photographers: Oliver Bronson, Dylan Don Special guests: The Aswirl Twins, Collin Pulsipher, Jonny Day, Ward Robinson, Sean Murphy [edit] The Girl Who Hates Her Hair First aired September 27, 2006 Tyra surprised the girls with flowery new makeovers. While Brooke, Megg, and Eugena embraced their new looks with gratitude, AJ, Melrose, Monique, and Jaeda - who received the most drastic makeovers of the day - showed disapproval. Jay Manuel lectured the girls after the day was over, saying that some of the attitudes were disrespectful to the salon owners. The challenge this week involved make-up application, speed and presentation. They each raced against the clock to put together their entire look, from make-up to wardrobe, during brief elevator stops on a trip to the top of a skyscraper. Megg and Monique could not make the elevator at various stories, and were eliminated even before the presentation. Eugena was determined the winner by CoverGirl, Queen Latifah and her make-up artist, Roxanna Floyd. Her prize was an exclusive photo shoot for the CoverGirl Website, which she chose CariDee and Jaeda to share. Back at the house, Monique took off her frustration of her earlier premature elimination by using the phone for more than three and a half hours, very much upsetting other girls. This was followed by an intense verbal confrontation with Anchal and Amanda who insisted that Monique was disrespecting others and forcefully hung up her call. This week's photo shoot involved the girls to shine through quirky, extravagant wigs and hair pieces. Melrose turned the tables and delivered the best shot this week, while Michelle, Amanda, Anchal, and CariDee also did well. However, Jaeda and Megan both landed in the Bottom two for poor photos. Even though Jaeda was still afflicted by her hair attitude, Megan was sent home. Bottom two: Jaeda Young & Megan Morris Eliminated: Megan Morris Featured photographer: Tracy Bayne Special guests: Frederic Fekkai, Queen Latifah, Roxanna Floyd, Mr. Little, Lisa B., Weavin' Steven CoverGirl of the Week: Anchal Joseph [edit] The Girl Who Goes To Texas First aired October 4, 2006 J. Alexander prepared the girls with a unique crazy, insane runway exercise from atop a ½" wide tight rope. When they got back to the house, Melrose went to use the phone, but Monique barged in and demanded the phone, but Melrose slammed the door on Monique, who reacted by taking her undergarments off and rubbed them on Melrose's sheets. The next day, their runway skills were put to the test in their rockiest challenge yet, with Bre Scullark (Cycle 5) appearing as guest. The contestants were asked to strut across cobblestones in high heels while wearing masks which impaired their vision. The winner of the challenge, AJ, picked CariDee and Megg to jet off to work a star-studded Dennis Quaid Charity Weekend Fashion Show with some past seasons’ contestants in Austin, Texas. Later, the girls had to rock a catwalk suspended over water, but Monique's dehydration landed her in the hospital. She then went home and did not participate in the photo shoot, but made it to judging. At judging, Monique was criticized for not pulling through like Danielle did in Cycle 6. In the end, it was Eugena and Monique who landed in the bottom two, both for their inability to translate their beauty into film. Monique was subsequently eliminated for her seeming lack of drive. Bottom two: Eugena Washington & Monique Calhoun Eliminated: Monique Calhoun Featured photographer: Charlie Altuna Special guests: Dennis Quaid, Bre Scullark, Altuna Moreno, Rebecca Epley, Coryn Woitel, April Wilkner, Shannon Stewart, Mercedes Scelba-Shorte, Brittany Brower, Camille McDonald CoverGirl of the Week: Anchal Joseph [edit] The Girl Who Joined the Circus First aired October 11, 2006 The contestants learned to strike an extreme pose from a contortionist, and model coach, Stacey McKenzie, and were put to the test in a high fashion challenge. They learned to show an extreme pose in designer Bao Tranchi's clothing and Erica Courtney jewelry. Eugena was chosen as the winner and won all the jewelry that was worn during the challenge, totaling $32,000. The photo shoot this week was based on a circus freak show and the girls turned into various circus freaks as follows: Model Circus Freak AJ Cannibal Amanda Siamese twins (with Michelle) Anchal Giant lady Brooke Rubber girl CariDee Elephant girl Eugena Bird lady Jaeda Strong lady Megg Bearded lady Melrose Old face with a young body Michelle Siamese twins (with Amanda) At judging, AJ and CariDee were hailed for their performances and Jaeda and Megg found themselves in the bottom two, both for their bad photos. Megg was sent home because of her inability to transfer her personality into a photo. Bottom two: Jaeda Young & Megg Morales Eliminated: Megg Morales Featured photographer: Mike Rosenthal Special guests: Bao Tranchi, Stacey McKenzie, Jonathan Nosan, Erica Courtney, Atoosa Rubenstein CoverGirl of the Week: AJ Stewart [edit] The Girl Who Punk'd Ashton First aired October 18, 2006 A red carpet challenge with former judge Janice Dickinson left some of the girls speechless. Melrose won the reward challenge, which gave her a night to interview stars on the red carpet as part of Entertainment Tonight's staff. Back at the house, Michelle revealed that she might be gay or bisexual, to the surprise of her twin sister Amanda, who became noticeably more introverted after hearing this. While talking to Tyra, Amanda revealed that she was scared for her sister. She came to terms with it and accompanied her sister as Michelle called their mother to tell her. The stars came out at a photo shoot where the contestants were transformed into celebrity couples, which were: Model Celebrity Couples AJ Marc Anthony & Jennifer Lopez Amanda Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore Anchal Stedman Graham & Oprah Winfrey Brooke Kevin Federline & Britney Spears CariDee Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Eugena Jay-Z & Beyoncé Knowles Jaeda Bobby Brown & Whitney Houston Melrose Donald Trump & Melania Trump Michelle Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi During judging, the girls were asked to be impromptu correspondents and give their best commentary of red carpet footage featuring the ANTM judges, during which Brooke shone but AJ let her self-consciousness show through. Brooke's fantastic photo and great performance at the judging test earned her a first call out. CariDee and Melrose also received praise for their overall performance as well. In the end, AJ and Jaeda were revealed to be in the bottom two, both because the judges weren't sure how much they cared about the competition. The judging concluded in a big shock to the girls when AJ, who had done well consistently throughout the competition, was eliminated. The judges felt that she had just lost her drive to remain in the competition and spared Jaeda for the third time. Bottom two: AJ Stewart & Jaeda Young Eliminated: AJ Stewart Featured photographer: Matthew Jordan Smith Special guests: Janice Dickinson, Mark Steines CoverGirl of the Week: AJ Stewart [edit] The Girl Who Graduates First aired October 25, 2006 Eugena was tired of the things that some of the girls were doing around the house.Then, at a surprise photo shoot,Tyra picked up her camera and surprised the contestants in their backyard with a black and white photo shoot where they were asked to look scary with weird contact lenses yet retain their sex appeal. A few girls struggled when burlesque dancer Dita von Teese asked them to get in touch with their sexy side. The contestants were put to the test by walking down the dinner table of Elite Models director Cathy Gould at her dinner party. Melrose won her third challenge and brought Amanda, Michelle, and Brooke for a Seventeen Magazine editorial spread photo shoot as her reward. To test their new sense about the fine line between 'sexy' and 'sleazy,' Jay Manuel met the contestants for a second photo shoot depicting romance novels with model Fabio. Each girl had their own romance novel title, as follows: Model Novel Title Amanda The Other Woman Anchal Pyramid Brooke Don't Leave Me! CariDee But... I Love Her Eugena Oh No You Didn't! Jaeda Nibble... In The Night Melrose Lady Of The Night Michelle Who's My Baby's Daddy? Despite bad takes from Jaeda and Michelle at the photoshoot with Fabio, Eugena and Brooke were revealed as the bottom two. While the judges were irked at Eugena's mannerisms, they doubted Brooke's potential as a model, and wondered whether she was just getting by on her vibrant personality. In the end, Eugena was saved for the second time as Brooke was eliminated on the night of her high school graduation, prompting Tyra to mention that many girls would rather be on the show than at graduation, of which a teary eyed Brooke agreed. Bottom two: Brooke Miller & Eugena Washington Eliminated: Brooke Miller Featured photographers: Jeffrey Jones, Randee St. Nicholas, Tyra Banks Special guests: Fabio, Dita von Teese, Kylie Bax, Atoosa Rubenstein, Beau Quillian, Cathy Gould, Elyssa Traub CoverGirl of the Week: CariDee English [edit] The Girls Who Made It This Far First aired November 1, 2006 This episode recapped the process that the seven remaining girls have survived, including some never before seen footage. One such scene was during the very first hour the girls entered the house, when they met their wardrobe stylist Charlie Altuna and makeup artist Sutan, who had with them a “Fashion Trash” bin, and confiscated whatever of the girls’ clothing they deemed "unfashionable." However, after this abrupt event, the girls were brought to Skyla where they had 5 minutes to shop for “fashionable top model” clothing. Footage included a catfight between Amanda and Monique, who went on a rampage and threw away almost every other foodstuff in the house into the garbage when Monique found out that her Doritos were eaten. Amanda then ran provocatively around the house opening every other closet that contained any remains of food, all the while shouting, “there's food there!” Finally, the girls met with yoga instructor Shirley Archer for a relaxing time of meditation, and Jaeda impersonated Tyra at eliminations while all the contestants were in a dressing room. Right before announcing who was "going home," CariDee unexpectedly passed gas, which stopped all the girls and caused them to laugh. Special guests: Charlie Altuna, Sutan, Shirley Archer, Frederic Fekkai [edit] The Girl Who Wrecks the Car First aired November 8, 2006 The next day, the contestants headed to the beach where they met pro athlete and model Gabrielle Reece where she taught the girls the art of action modeling while they bumped, set and spiked to beach volleyball. The girls got even more physical with NASCAR driver Stanton Barrett for a competition where the winner had to take their own shots using a remote controlled camera. Although accidentally denting Stanton's car, Michelle won the challenge and picked Amanda, CariDee, and Melrose to share her reward. Unknown to them, there was a reward challenge within the challenge, where the 4 girls had to act fast and don as many pieces of clothing within 30 seconds. Melrose won the prize of $10,000 worth of clothing and jewelry. Back at the house, the tension between Anchal and Melrose reached a boiling point when Melrose accused Anchal of being childish and disrespectful to others, causing a visibly affected Anchal to retreat to her room. For the week's photo shoot, the girls received their first Covergirl assignment, shooting for TruBlend whipped foundation, modeling as space-sirens. They flew at a skydiving training facility, where many contestants had difficulty expressing grace inside the wind tunnel. During judging, the girls had to act out a scene derived from a verb and adverb randomly drawn from a box as follows: Model Verb and Adverb Eugena Shake Flirtatiously Amanda Ski Sadly Michelle Swim Frighteningly Melrose Box Joyfully CariDee Hide Dizzily Anchal Dance Aggressivly Jaeda Skip Sensually CariDee, Melrose, and Eugena all excelled while the others, especially Michelle and Anchal did not impress. Despite some of the worst photos from Eugena & Jaeda, Michelle & Anchal were in the Bottom 2 both due to their apparent lack of drive (though the judges had previously praised their photos and overall portfolios). Although Tyra praised Anchal's natural beauty, her lack of self confidence saw her, one of the early favorites, eliminated. Bottom two: Anchal Joseph & Michelle Babin Eliminated: Anchal Joseph Featured photographer: Patrick Giardino Special guests: Gabrielle Reece, Stanton Barrett, James St. James CoverGirl of the Week: CariDee English [edit] The Girl Who Breaks Down First aired November 15, 2006 The girls met with acting coach Tasha Smith at the Los Angeles Repertory Company for acting lessons, and all took turns performing exercises to learn how to break down their physical boundaries. Each girl then shot their own silent film, acting out the direction given to them. After an emotional day, CariDee was chosen as the winner, earning her a guest spot on The CW’s "One Tree Hill." The girls then viewed CariDee’s winning silent film, and Tyra surprised them with a trip to Barcelona, Spain. Once the girls landed in Barcelona, they were happily surprised when their driver made several stops along the way to pick up male models who would be part of their next challenge. Together, they went to dinner at a traditional Spanish restaurant, where they learned they would shoot a commercial the next day in the Catalan language. Tensions rose between Jaeda and her male model Nacho after he told her he did not like black women. The following day the girls shot a Secret deodorant commercial, where they had to kiss their male model at the end. Most of the girls struggled with their lines and the pressure to perform in another language. Melrose was praised by the judges as giving the best performance - much to the dislike of Eugena, and Michelle was criticized for her terrible kiss. However, CariDee, who had previously been favored by the judges gave one of the worst commercials, landing her in the Bottom 2 with Jaeda. The judges deemed Jaeda as the weakest girl, overall as well as with her commercial, and despite giving her several chances, Jaeda gave them no reasons to continue keeping her in the competition, thus finally eliminating her. Bottom two: CariDee English & Jaeda Young Eliminated: Jaeda Young Featured commercial director: Denis Rovira Special guests: Tasha Smith, Lee Norris, David Jackman CoverGirl of the Week: CariDee English [edit] The Girl Who Sticks Her Foot In Her Mouth First aired November 22, 2006 Shaken from her near elimination, CariDee struggled to rebound from an off week. In order to relieve some anxiety, the girls invited their Spanish models from their last commercial shoot over for dinner. The next day, Tyra visited the girls and had a sit down talk about the harsh reality's of the modeling industry, before the girls met up with Pancho Saula, the director of Elite Barcelona, who has set up ten go-sees for them to attend all around the city. Eugena and CariDee teamed up, as did the twins, while Melrose decided to hit the streets alone, a strategy that seemed to pay off as she managed to attend the most number of auditions. While the twins got lost and arrived late, hence disqualifying themselves, Melrose easily won her fourth reward challenge, and she chose CariDee to share in her reward — a catered dinner at their apartment. For this week’s photo shoot, the girls arrived at the bull-fighting arena and met their photographer, Nigel Barker. CariDee jokingly made a crude remark to Nigel, who was edited to appear offended, however according to CariDee in an Entertainment Weekly online interview, he actually recognized her humor and joked along with her. Nevertheless, she later apologized for this. At panel, the girls were asked to tell the judges who they felt had the most and least amount of potential. Michelle’s insecurities finally overwhelmed her as she broke down in front of the judges, conflicted by her doubts of whether she really wanted to be a model. During deliberation, the judges were torn between the lackluster photos of Amanda and CariDee, but Michelle’s confidence crisis made them question whether Michelle was sacrificing her place for her sister. Consequentially, the twins landed in the bottom two, where Amanda’s drive ultimately won the judges over and Michelle was eliminated. Bottom two: Amanda Babin & Michelle Babin Eliminated: Michelle Babin Featured photographer: Nigel Barker Special guests: Pancho Saula, Julie Cher, Susana Castano, Jorge Paulo de Oliveira Terra, Victoriano Simon, Julie Sohn CoverGirl of the Week: CariDee English [edit] The Girl Who Grates First aired November 29, 2006 The girls traveled to a dance studio where they met flamenco dancer Nacho Blancho, who taught them the steps of the traditional Spanish dance. While Eugena breezed through the practice, Amanda’s awkwardness became apparent. Later that night, the girls shared a dinner with runway coach and judge Miss J. Alexander, before returning to their apartment to rehearse their dance steps. CariDee and Eugena repeatedly expressed their disdain for Melrose and wished for the two of them to be the Top 2. The next morning, the girls arrived at a majestic Spanish villa for their flamenco dance test, decked out in full flamenco attire. Melrose, who earlier didn't practice and said "I am 100% confident that I'm going to shine", is the only girl who made a mistake. Nacho was impressed by Amanda’s improvement but crowned Eugena the winner, who picked Amanda to share in her prize, which turned out to be 3 presents bearing clothes worn at the Custo Barcelona Fall 2006 collection. Melrose cried because she didn't do as well as she expected to. For the photo shoot, the girls met with Jay Manuel who brought out Tyra to assist. The girls were paired up — Eugena and Melrose, Amanda and CariDee — to pose as nymphs floating underwater. While Melrose shone in the freezing water, Eugena delivered many blank shots and was unable to stay afloat. CariDee had to be pulled out from the icy water prematurely when she got hypothermia and started shivering uncontrollably. She was later scolded for not speaking up and "listening to her body". Amanda had to finish the rest of the 50 frames left in the shoot by herself. At panel, the judges warned Eugena about her bland expressions, and still had reservations about Amanda’s stiffness and awkward posing. Though she was praised for not allowing her coldness to show on her face in the photo shoot, CariDee found herself in the bottom two with Amanda: Amanda’s look was “edgy” and “high-fashion,” but the judges worried if she was overly awkward and meek; CariDee's look was “classic,” but may not be able to take the physical demands of being a model. Tyra ultimately handed the last photo to Caridee, with the advice "You know you have a weakness with a cold. You need to figure out how that doesn't cost the client money", eliminating Amanda. Bottom two: Amanda Babin & CariDee English Eliminated: Amanda Babin Featured photographer: David Ruiz Special guests: Nacho Blancho, Naama Hernandez Ruiz CoverGirl of the Week: None[1] [edit] The Girl Who Becomes America's Next Top Model First aired December 6, 2006 The final three met Jay Manuel to shoot their commercial for CoverGirl Outlast Double Lip Shine, where they met last cycle's winner Danielle Evans. First up was CariDee, whose natural enthusiasm shone through. While Eugena once again started off with bland takes, she finally turned on the charm for a great delivery, while Melrose struggled with her over-preparedness. During their CoverGirl print ad shoot, CariDee once again shone with her blissful look while Eugena delivered some passionate shots. Melrose, affected by her earlier performance, stumbled. The judges believe that Melrose has failed to live up to her past performances, and Eugena's passion was questioned. Ultimately, Melrose joined CariDee as the final two as Eugena was eliminated. In preparation for the final runway challenge, Tyra set up a sit-down talk with life coach Dr. Michelle. Next, the final two met Jay Manuel at their final runway, where they had to play ghostly brides in wedding gowns designed by Victorio & Lucchino. The final show would be set in Antoni Gaudí's world famous Park Güell. As night fell on Barcelona, Danielle began the show while Melrose and CariDee kicked off their catwalk face-off. The second walk required the girls to stop and stare down each other halfway down the runway. A minor disaster occurred when CariDee accidentally stepped on Melrose's train and ripped a hole in the middle of the runway. After a brief moment of shock, Melrose recovered quickly and continued her walk confidently. However, drama began to stir at the changing room as Melrose blamed CariDee for the torn gown. The final segment began with Jay Alexander dressed in a black wedding gown running out on the catwalk, screaming theatrically, and the girls followed suit, with CariDee overdoing it. The show ended off with CariDee and Melrose's final walk at the runway, together with their last face-off pose before 'disappearing' from the runway. Back in the judging room, Melrose was praised for her superior runway walk and CariDee triumphed in their overall picture portfolios. The judges appreciated Melrose’s fashion knowledge and persistence to win the competition, but she came off as too clinical. Meanwhile CariDee was lambasted for her sometimes too loud personality, although she had the much sought after “X-factor.” This finale was a final of firsts, along with Jay Manuel joining the judging panel, this is the first final, since around season 3 where the girls were not wearing the outfits from the runway show, which the girls have been doing since season 4. The girls returned and made one last plea before Tyra announced CariDee as the seventh winner of America’s Next Top Model, making her the first ever natural blonde to win.
