"It is so ironic because" "Miss Kesse and Miss Shannon, all three of us are Christians." "So we have, like, that one thing in common." "ELYSE:" "The girls in Milan seem to be just on the other side of the world." "The separation between the two rooms has a lot to do with religion." "I'm not interested in having quiet time to read the Bible." "I am a militant atheist." "All right, ladie s, I gotta show you somebody I want to meet." "rt." "Who?"

"I've been a performer;" "I've been dancing since I was three." "BANKS:" "Giselle's personality is so strong." "I love the fact that she's a Latina woman." "That was very important to me." "I thought Tessa represented an exotic variation of a classic blonde look." "I'm from Chicago." "I'm a hostess." "I'm like the girl next door." "It was a little tough meeting the girls for the first time." "I noticed them checking me, like, from up and down, you know, just "I don't know if I like this girl."" "All righty, so I want to welcome all you guys." "So I want to let you guys know, yes, you guys are here because you're beautiful, but what stood out is something that, just that "it" thing, that special thing." "It's a personality." "There are so many things that it takes to be a top model, and you guys are gonna be put through lots of different tests." "There's going to be photo shoot tests, media training, how to speak like a supermodel and represent top companies." "You know, it takes models years to even just get these people to take one glance at them." "Once a week, you'll be evaluated, and once a week, someone will be eliminated." "One of you is going to become America's Next Top Model." "You're going to start off with a modeling contract with Revlon."

"We're secretly sisters" "GISELLE:" "Katie and I are very, very similar, so, I mean, if they're looking for that, uh, exotic type look, there's a major competition between us." "But it's okay." "I think she's beautiful." "I know that she's older than me, so that's okay." "TESSA:" "At first, I did not like Nicole." "She was my competition." "You know, I looked at her as like, "Wow," ""she's, she's just gorgeous." "Gorgeous hair, she has it all, total package."" "She just has, like, everything that everybody wants." "So everyone picked out their room and everything?" "So... yeah." "Oh, I see." "Here's this." "I don't know." "TESSA:" "Everybody already had their rooms picked out, so Giselle and I got the bunk beds." "Oh, thank you so much." "(laughs)" "You are like an angel." "As soon as I heard, "Does anyone else smoke?"" "I'm like, "Oh...!"" "TESSA:" "Adrianne and I, right when we got in that house, we go, we pick a corner to go smoke at." "There's only two of us that smoke." "So we got a good smoking spot though." "Yeah, yeah." "Yeah." "ROBIN:" "Y'all know what?" "The smoking thing..." "TESSA:" "And Miss Robin comes out and starts screaming like, "This whole house stinks now." "You guys can't smoke."" "'Cause, like, it's all in here, and y'all know that smoke, like, gets in people's clothes and their hair." "Robin, I feel like she's, like, the mother in the house." "TESSA:" "It was a big deal." "That's why I was so nervous." "I was like, "Great." "Yeah, this is all I need."" "'Cause, you know, I don't mind y'all killing y'all self, but, you know, Mama want to live." "We had a couple of special visitors." "(knocking)" "Anybody home?" "ELYSE:" "One of whom was a personal trainer." "Just so everybody knows, my name is Jon, and I'm going to be your, your trainer." "We have a plan for you." "You'll find that out shortly, as we go through it." "We're going to do a little test-- height and weight-- to see how your body weight changes over the time that we're going to be training." "Having a physical trainer come in and tell us our weight, um, that was a little kind of, uh, nerve-wracking." "136." "He said it out loud," ""136!" I'm like, "Okay, that's nice."" "I'm almost above 35, y'all." "Five-nine and a half." "Five-nine." "Five-nine." "Yep." "Does that look right to you about?" "Yeah." "Next, Elyse." "Elyse." "She has not an ounce of fat on her body." "Terrific." "There you go, 114." "Oh, my God ." "Robin:" "If you're naturally skinny, you're naturally skinny, but when you can count every, you know, vertebrae, like, that's sickly." "Am I the lightest one?" "ALL:" "Yeah." "GISELLE:" "I felt a little bit bad for Robin because she is bigger down here in the hips and thighs than the rest of us." "ROBIN:" "Being here is a bit awkward, because I am the only, you know, "plus-size model."" "See, look at that." "h!" I was about to say "Aa" "ELYSE:" "I think for Robin, it must be hard being among girls who are so skinny." "So we're going to ta ke off three pounds." "ng." "So give me just like a -- you know what I'm sayi" "Okay, so we'll go, we'll go 165 then?" "Yeah, we weigh 165 ." "(applause)" "We'll see you again." "Now, I can't tell you when, but I will see you again." "And the second visitor was a bikini waxer..." "Hi, girls." "...with her entourage of lab-coated bikini wax minions." "I was sent here by Tyra Banks to help all the girls with a personal bikini wax." "So if you don't mind to get all the girls..." "ADRIANNE:" "I saw, like, dead fear in people's eyes." "You all guys ready for that, the experience?" "Oh." "Yes." "Very much so." "(laughing)" "I can't believe I'm doing this." "I can't believe I'm doing this." "Oh, man!" "(ripping) Ooh!" "I really want to go to Brazil bad." "Oh, my God!" "Oh, no!" "ADRIANNE:" "Giselle and Robin definitely did not want to do it." "Oh, my God." "I can't do that." "Just try it." "Stop." "ROBIN:" "I felt extremely uncomfortable with the bikini wax." "Ouch." "(gasps)" "(ripping)" "Ow." "?" "No" "ROBIN:" "There's only two people that's been down there:" "myself and my gynecologist, and I gave him crap." "I'm really scared." "I told everybody in my whole life," "I said, "I will never get a bikini wax."" "Oh!" "Oh!" "(laughs)" "(screams):" "Aah!" "(laughs)" "Couple ladies I don't know saying, you know, "Spread 'em."" "(screams):" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "TESSA:" "There's a few girls that I think were exaggerating a bit too much." "I better be a damn supermodel after this." "That's all I have to say." "Whoo... ha-ha-ha!" "Hi, everybody!" "I'm so happy we're in New York City." "k." "We gotta wal" "Got some food." "Hey, guys, we got mail." "We got mail?" "Mail!" ""You have a photo shoot for J-Lo Swimwear tomorrow morning."" "(shrieking)" "Oh, my God!" "!" "No way" ""Be in the hotel lob by at 7:45 A.M. sharp."" "No!" "Oh, wait." "Can I see?" "That's why we had the bikini wax." "Shut up!" "Holy..." "(alarm rings)" "ELYSE:" "I think we should be in the lobby of the hotel at 7:45." "Okay." "So what time is it , you guys?" "." "Um, we're really early" "We are so on time." "Everybody else is late." "We're the real models." "We're on time." "ELYSE:" "I was impatient with waiting for them." "I was ready to go at 7:45 like we were supposed to." "I was kind of trying to wait on other people, and before I knew it, everybody else had already gone downstairs." "I think they're already gone." "Are you serious?" "We all go downstairs, and there's no one there." "ROBIN:" "We all were nervous, because we were late." "Hey, guys, your party has already left." "ROBIN:" "It was our first photo shoot, and we was, like, "Oh, my goodness." "Are we gonna get in trouble?"" "Okay." "SHANNON:" "Robin, um, Kesse and I found out that we were gonna be late for the shoot." "We had to find our own way there." "So we run back upstairs, get the address, and we took a cab there." "The girls who actually made it to the shoot were able to go to hair and makeup first." "Didn't even think anything about it." "We figured the girls were right behind us." "We were, like, on top of a roof, and there was, like, snow." "The wind was blowing." "It was freezing." "Hi, everybody." "ALL:" "Hello." "Before I start, I just want to call a couple of girls forward:" "Robin, Kesse, Ebony, and Shannon." "I want you guys to come forward just a little bit." "Okay, I was really upset." "I heard that you four were late, and that's just not acceptable." "Photo shoots are thousands of dollars, and time is money." "It's 100% not acceptable." "If this was a normal shoot, a lot of you guys would have been sent home." "We're being, um, judged on being on time." "I am very nervous about the cut coming up." "BANKS:" "All right, you know what?" "That's enough of that." "Now I want you to meet your photographer for the day:" "Douglas Bizarro and his partner, Elizabeth Moss." "Hi, guys." "How are y'all doing?" "ALL:" "Fine." "Today, we're gonna be doing swimwear, and we're gonna be doing it up here on the roof." "We were all kind of just like," ""Are they serious?"" "GISELLE:" "I freaked out just because it was so cold." "Uh, you may be wondering why we're shooting outside in the cold." "Swimwear is shot a season before, so we have to shoot it now." "ul, Welcome to the beautif glamorous worl d of modeling." "The one most common mistake that new models make is, "The sexier I move, the better the picture is gonna be."" "It is all about this first." "It's all about the face." "You have to always be thinking about something." "Like a dead eye is just kind of like..." "And then a, an eye that just has some fire is like." "See how it just changes?" "You can create a character when you model." "It's kind of like silent movies." "You have to give it your best, give it your all out there, and just work it." "All right?" "Good luck on your first shoot." "ALL:" "Thank you." "You're welcome." "It's freezing." "This happens to be the coldest day in New York City." "MOSS:" "Eight-degree wind chill." "We've worked in a lot of cold weather."

"Excellen t." "I think we got i t." "I think we got i" "Yes!" "BIZARRO:" "A model is more than just a pretty face." "They really have to be confident inside." "They really have to be able to give it in front, in front of the lens." "Read y?" "Normally, I wouldn't really care, but it was so cold." "I get cold in the sun." "I'm cold all the time." "?" "Go!" "?" "Nice." "You look great." "BIZARRO:" "Nicole would listen to me, and that's an important thing in a model is to be able to listen to the photographer." "TESSA:" "I was a little nervous, you know?" "All the other girls are so skinny." "You know, I got a little bit more meat to me, but I had a blast." "You have to relax." "Don't be cold." "t?" "You know wha it?" "Can you back up a little b n." "Head dow" "Once I get you into a positio n that we like," ", don't move it around so much because I got you over here, and then you're, like, over here, and then..." "Okay." "You know what I mean?" "." "There you go." "That's it." "Totally" "There you go." "Perfect." "MOSS:" "She probably had people teach her how to model the wrong way." "That was her problem." "I haven't looked this good ever." "I did notice Robin being a little modest in her bikini." "She has a little more insulation than me." "Ah!" "All right, here we go." "Robin is, like, 26 or 27 years old." "I mean, how much farther is she gonna go, you know?" "'Cause age is a big factor in the modeling world." "Go like this." "You know what I mean?" "This looks like you're, like, taking a crap or something, you know?" "(laughs):" "Okay." "wn." "Chin down, chin do t." "Hold tha" "You look amazi ng." "Hold it." "(chuckles)" "Thanks ." "Cold enough for you?" "Yeah." "I thought it was gonna be okay until I went to take off my blanket and the wind was just coming from every direction." "It made it so much colder." "All right, come on, Elyse." "You ready?" "Yeah." "Nice." "Hold that." "Good." "ELYSE:" "I had to drop my shoulder, keep my arm in, keep my fingers together, and my thumb hidden while holding my high heel, and sucking back snot." ", This is probably her first time shooting, so not only is she nervous" ". but it's so cold that she just can't give a look" "She was very skinny, which means it's... she was cold." "She got to the point where she couldn't even think straight, and she started crying." "Elyse has this small, petite body, so she probably can't keep warmth in." "Elyse couldn't handle it, but I did not complain." "I ripped off my blanket, and I said, "Okay."" "And I just went for it." "Nice." "GISELLE:" "But it was so cold." "I mean, everything was numb, from my ears, to my hands, to my feet, to my butt." "Do more hip that one way." "Yeah, hold it." "Giselle did a great job." "You can tell when a girl has practiced in the mirror." "And look at me right here, pretty ." "Nice." "Good." "MOSS:" "She's beautiful, but she didn't really physically do anything that was spectacular." "You need to squint her eyes out, and then we'll take it." "Squint you r eyes in." "MOSS:" "Katie was one of the most difficult ones." "She couldn't seem to get everything right all at once, at the same time." "Now she's doing this number." "It was just back and forth, back and forth, back and forth." "ce." "BIZARRO:" "Good." "Hold tha t." "Don't move." "Ni" "I think she was giving a little too much." "You know, it was looking a little almostPlayboy-ish." "How's that looking?" "What do you think?" "The eyes are big again." "I don't know what to say." "I mean, I already told her 20 times." "It's not gonna get any better." "No." "KATIE:" "I don't think it was challenging." "I think it was a great experience and, you know, I'll do it again anytime." "Whoo!" "Let's do this." "Phillipians 4:13 said," ""I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."" "air Pull the h from your chin around." "Whoo!" "I don't have t ime to sit there and teach a model to model." "Yeah." "So she needs to bring somethi ng to the table." "A couple more shots and it's over." "You can go warm, hot cocoa." "And now give me even more, like a really fierce." "I want to win this contest." "Words cannot explain how bad I want to win." "BIZARRO:" "She started freezing up at the end there." "I just couldn't get that facial expression, and that's, that's really the selling point." "It's in the eyes." "You ready?" "You rea dy?" "." "Yeah, nice" "Excellent." "KESSE:" "Um, working with the professional, um, photographer today was such a learning experience." "He kind of brought something out of me today" "I didn't even know I had." "Yeah." "Nice ." "Excellent." "BIZARRO:" "Kesse was easy to shoot." "Most of the girls, they have it in the body, and then their face is so cold, they can't give the face." "Well, hers, she was able to give the face." "I think everybody did a really good job, considering the circumstances today." "I'm thinking that it's gonna be a tough competition comes, comes to the end of this." "." "You guys enjoy" "The Palm was gorgeous." "You know, great food." "Oh, my gosh." "(laughter)" "I was, um, dragged out of the atheism closet." "I don't believe in God, and it came up today at dinner." "Do you believe in anything, um, Elyse?" "Like... ." "I'm an atheist" "I couldn't believe the jaws around the table that were dropping." "An atheist?" "Wow." "ELYSE:" "This is a really, yeah, tough subject for me." "I didn't..." "I never would have, like..." "ROBIN:" "When I found out Elyse was an atheist," "I had extreme reservations about her." "I really felt sorry for her." "Robin, of course, qualifies every statement with," ""I'm not saying that you're going to hell, but you're going to hell."" "Just because I don't believe in God doesn't mean" "I don't have ethics and morals." "I mean, I respect you, but I mean, I didn't..." "I just didn't know that." "ELYSE:" "I think that might be alienating me a little bit from the other girls, but at the same time," "I'm not gonna pretend that I don't believe in evolution just so I can be friends with Robin." "When we look over, we had Tyra mail." ""Tomorrow, nine of you will continue on to become" ""America's Next Top Model." "One of you will be eliminated."" "(gasping)" "ELYSE:" "I think I will be eliminated because of my poor performance yesterday." "And it keeps on running through my head, like, all day long," "Tyra Banks saying, "Tessa, you're the one."" "I'm just scared." "ADRIANNE:" "I don't want to leave." "Either I win and my life drastically changes and for the better, or I lose and I fall more and more into the hole." "ROBIN:" "People are just feeling kind of anxious and kind of nervous, like we don't know what to expect." "KATIE:" "Everyone's like, "Oh, my God, you know, what's gonna happen?"" "All right, ladies." "The time has arrived to make our first cut." "You're gonna be judged on your natural talent, your potential and your personality, as well as your performance on your photo shoot that you took yesterday." "I have a panel of judges here that I totally respect." "First we have Miss Janice Dickinson." "Janice became one of the world's first supermodels in the 1970s, and her face was featured everywhere." "DICKINSON:" "I've been in this industry for quite a long time, making me probably the most opinionated person on the panel." "BANKS:" "All right, next we have Beau Quillian." "Beau is the fashion editor atMarie Claire, and it's his job to work with all the major modeling agencies to determine which girls he's gonna feature in his fashion editorials." "QUILLIAN:" "If a model is not great," "I can't do anything for her." "There has to be a basic something there to work with." "Next we have Kimora Lee Simmons." "Kimora became the face of Chanel at age 13." "She's now the creative director and owner of Baby Phat, which is a sexy womens' wear clothing line." "SIMMONS:" "I think you have to have that personality inside of you, that drive." "Certain things you can work on, but I think the bulk of it, you have to be born with." "BANKS:" "Each week, we will have a special guest judge, and today it is" "Douglas Bizarro." "Douglas is an acclaimed fashion and celebrity photographer, and he shot your first major fashion shoot." "Now we're gonna bring you in one by one to have an evaluation with the judges, and Katie, you're first." "KATIE:" "I was really nervous." "I was like, "Oh, my God."" "I was, like, shaking when I got in there." "So Katie, you just had your first professional photo shoot and we've gone through all of your film." "We found the best shot." "Wow." "DICKINSON:" "My question is, what were you thinking, hooking your finger into the bottom of the bikini?" "What were you thinking?" "You know what?" "I was just thinking that, you know, just, just the look." "She's got a lot of work to catch up to you, Miss Thing." "What do you think?" "KESSE:" "Oh, my God." "That is so beautiful." "I promise." "I love it." "What do you like about it?" "I don't know if it was luck on her part or confidence, but this is the second shot that we took on her." "BANKS:" "Okay, Miss Adrianne." "Can I ask you what size your foot is?" "11." "My nickname's" "Aircraft Carrier." "The note about my feet didn't bother me at all, because when there's a big woman, there tends to be a... a big base." "Face is good, foot bad." "BIZARRO:" "Out of all the girls I photographed," "I would say that Nicole gave it the most." "She really hit it and kept working on her pose and giving me..." "Thank you." "...great angles on her body." "SIMMONS:" "You have a very strong personality, and it shows on your face and your poses." "Take this the right way:" "You gotta work on the thighs." "You got that booty thing." "You gotta kinda really watch the diet and exercise, 'cause it's not all about your gorgeous face." "Itisabout the booty, too." "I know." "SIMMONS:" "I think you're very exotic, and you have great long legs." "The mole is gorgeous." "Don't let anybody ever tell you to take it off." "BIZARRO:" "Giselle in person, not my favorite, but when I got you on film in front of the camera, she blew me away." "DICKINSON:" "She's rail thin." "Sheisa waif." "You know, the rib cage is coming a little through, but, you know, that's okay." "She's only 18 years old." "I like Shannon's personality." "I think she glows." "I think she's very comfortable." "But, uh, the negative thing I have to say about her is" "I could tell she tans a lot, and I'm starting to see that her skin on her face is already starting to get a little leathery." "I don't necessarily think that that bathing suit when she came out was the most flattering on her." "I am always the one that steers away from anything that has to do with little clothes on." "Like, I don't even like to be really in shorts." "I always, like, try to cover up everything." "DICKINSON:" "I think you're in the wrong, you're choosing the wrong profession if you don't want to be in little things, or you try to cover up." "Okay, Robin." "Now, are we shooting for the large size category?" "Um, yes." "Robin would represent a plus-size model." "One problem that I do have with Robin," "I think on the top she's not plus size, and on the bottom, she is." "Quite honestly, 26 is a little late to be busting into the top model gig." "QUILLIAN:" "Are you naturally that thin, or is that something you've worked toward?" "No, I'm naturally this thin." "BANKS:" "I love it." "I'm not so against thin um, if it's natural." "u, QUILLIAN:" "Well, you have no body fat on yo so there's no insulation." "It's a little bit th in for me." "Thank you." "So we've interviewed every single girl, and now we have to come and decide... xe?" "DICKINSON:" "Who gets the a" "BANKS:" "Who gets the axe?" "Robin?" "Robin's fantastic." "Robin's out as far as I'm concerned about being a supermodel." "BIZARRO:" "Definitely not." "This girl's not gonna be the first one dropped." "Well, that's my humble opinion." "Why?" "Because I think the next America's Top Model is not a plus-sized model." "n." "I'm sorry." "That's my opinio" "BANKS:" "I like Robin." "She's near perfection." "I just wish her upper body was bigger and matched her lower body better." "Elyse?" "In." "Out." "BIZARRO:" "The one with the cold, it was kind of hard fo r her to just work it." "When it came down to crunch time and getting them out there, it." "she kind of loses" "BANKS:" "Kesse." "It's so funny." "I look at this picture, and it's kind of freaking me out." "I'm like, "Is this my baby sister?"" "Nicole." "I think Nicole , definitely in." "Nicole in." "In." "In." "Nicole in." "BANKS:" "Shannon has personality, and it's all about personality." "I'll take Nicole, I'll leave Shannon out." "BANKS:" "Shannon is very commercial." "She's a pretty girl, but she doesn't add any fun or creativity to the shoot." "Tessa." "She doesn't have a dominant personality." "She's got to be ab le to sell product." "I'm not seeing enough personality out of her." "She's one of those , to me, that in per son is kind of, eh..." "You have to kind of look strong in person, o." "'cause there's a lot of personal appearances, to" "Katie." "It's not about just sexy, and it's not about looking like the topPlayboycover model." "us." "QUILLIAN:" "Katie's gorgeo" "Ebony moved better than any model did." "They've only been here for a week." "Only a week." "And one must go." "s." "BANKS:" "All right, ladie" "In my hands are nine photos, and these nine photos represent the nine women that will go on to the next round to possibly become" "America's Next Top Model." "Ebony, will you please come forward?" "Ebony, you're still in the running to become America's Next Top Model." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "Elyse." "Congratulations." "Kesse." "ng You're still in the runni to become America's Next Top Model." "Thank you." "The next young lad y I'm gonna call... is Adrianne." "ng You're still in the runni to become America's Next Top Model." "Katie." "Congratulations, you're still in the running." "Nicole, you're still in the running to becoming America's Next Top Model." "Thank you." "Giselle." "Congratulations." "SHANNON:" "I always try to expect the worst, so I'm prepared to leave, even though it's gonna hurt." "The next woman I'm gonna call is Robin." "at The one thing th the judges like about you is that you represent the majori ty of women in America." "Congratulations." "I only have one photo left in my hands right now." "Will Tessa and Shannon please step forward." "TESSA:" "For some reason, I have, like, a feeling in me." "It's like, "Okay, is it gonna be me?"" "Whoever's name I call will go on and will still be in the running to become America's Next Top Model." "The name that I do not call, you will be eliminated immediately and must say good-bye to your roommates." "Shannon, you're still in the runni ng to becoming" "America's Ne xt Top Model." "?" "New York ?" "?" "?" "To that tall skyline I come flying in from London ?" "Hey, guys." "?" "..." "To your door. ?" "TESSA:" "Leaving the girls was a lot harder than I thought it would be." "?" "New York, looking down on Central Park ?" "I try." "I mean, you can't do any more than that, and, uh... everything happens for a reason, right?" "?" "New York, like a scene from all those movies ?" "?" "But you're real enough to me ?" "?" "There's a heart, a hear t that lives in New York. ?" "BANKS:" "Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode." "Here's what coming up on" "America's Next Top Model." "Pressure builds as the girls duke it out on the runway." "I think it was every girl for herself." "ADRIANNE:" "I was buck naked, I had to get into my clothes, and I had to do it in 30 seconds." "BANKS:" "And at a high-profile" "Stuffmagazine photo shoot." "That's my style-- the sex appeal and stuff." "That's just me." "BANKS:" "Tempers flare between Ebony and her housemates." "I feel as though you guys might expect certain things." "You can make your own assumptions." "You don't have to agree with me." "That's the thing about a competition." "BANKS:" "And Elyse wants out." "Eliminate me."
