Tyra Banks quotes from America's Next Top Model

Tyra

Nolé is a very prominent fashion editor and a stylist. And of course, we can't forget...

Empress Mini, the legendary girl herself.

Tyra

Toccara, I knew from day one that you wanted this and was f-a-b-o.

Toccara

I am fabulous and I want this.

Tyra

[to Yaya] Why did you choose the cowboy hat?

[to Tyra] It's more on the simple side compared to the other hats, so I can go crazy with accessories and express myself without being cliché.

Nigel

[to Yaya] Yaya, I think you look beautiful. I think everyone probably pegged you as going for the typical African hat.

[to Yaya] You're I feel... half African, half cowgirl. Looks like you're about to ride a giraffe. I think... I'm not feeling it.

[to Yaya] You have this intensity to prove your, sort of, African-ness. And I think that sometimes it's overbearing. It's just too much, it's sort of a layer on top of a layer.

[to the judges] In response to trying to prove myself as an African, that's just where I come from. It's very natural to me... and [points at the African hat on the judges' panel] I did not chose that hat for the very specific reason that it's very cliché. The fabric that it's made from is very artificial, very cheap fake kente!

Nigel

[to Yaya] Yaya.

[to Nigel] I didn't have the time–I know I'm running on.

Tyra

[to Yaya] There's a different way of explaining yourself and being defensive. And you're being very defensive, and it's not attractive.

[to Tyra] Just because we had a talk about, you know, Afro-centricity before, and it's kind of... misunderstood.

Tyra

[to Yaya] I'm all about, like, expressing yourself and your culture, but it's still done in a fashion way. You want your outfit to be, "Look at me!" and this outfit is, "Look over there!"

Tyra

[To Yaya] Now we need you to eat the product because I've never heard of a girl having a commercial and not tasting the product.

Janice

Eat! Eat! Eat!

[About Eva] In your commercial, she was an absolute Tokyo disaster.

Tyra

She was a typhoon!

She was a typhoon, a buffoon, she was a cocoa puff mess.

Eva had said that she hoped I did bad so I would go home and then Eva was like, "Oh yeah? Ann, well you think Norelle's ugly and fat!"

Tyra

Well, Norelle, you're one of the top five. And you have to realize that's what makes beauty interesting, is when it's debatable. Do you know what I mean? There's so many people that say, 'Oh Tyra Banks is beautiful.' And there's so many people that say, 'Tyra Banks has a big ass forehead and I think shes ugly!' One thing you need to realize is everybody talks about everybody.

Tyra

[to Brandy] Brandy! [Brandy gasps and crys] Brandy. How do you feel Brandy?

[to Tyra] I'm just thankful for being in this line right now!

Tyra

[to Keenyah] Keenyah. [Keenyah comes up for evaluation] Is that... [referring to Keenyah's makeover] Is that the hairstyle they did because I was not there at the end.

[to Tyra] No it wasn't. I had actually put some oil in it and it became really stringy.

Janice

[to Keenyah] What were you thinking?! I don't want to hear that!

Tyra

[to Keenyah] You were one of the girls that I was addressing. Feeling like you knew better than me and Jay and J.

[to Tyra] I regret that. I feel like that's the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life.

Janice

[to Keenyah] Ugh!

Tyra

[to Keenyah about the alien photoshoot] Here is your best shot.

Janice

[to Keenyah about the alien photoshoot] This is gorgeous!

Tyra

[to Keenyah about the hairstyle in alien photoshoot] The lesson that you need to learn is that if I said I wanted your makeover to be this you'd go "Oh my gosh it's fierce".

Tyra

[to Janice, Nole and Nigel about Brittany] Brittany.

Janice

[to Tyra, Nole and Nigel about Brittany] She stays.

Tyra

[to Janice, Nole and Nigel about Brittany] Is it because she looks like you, Janice?

Tyra

[to Brandy, Lluvy, Keenyah and Brita] There's four girls left but I only have three photos in my hands. [to Brandy looks worried] The next name that I am going to call is... [flips over Lluvy's photo] Lluvy. [Lluvy comes to collect her photo, flips over Keenyah's photo] Keenyah. [Keenyah comes to collect her photo] Somebody learned a big lesson this week, didn't they?

[to Tyra] Huge.

Tyra

[to Keenyah] Congratulations.

[to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra

[to Brandy and Brita in the bottom two] Will Brita and Brandy please step forward?

Tyra

[to Brita in the bottom two with Brandy] But then they evaluated your photo and some of them don't want to see you anymore. [to Brandy in the bottom two with Brita] You're standing there high fashioned with all the potential in the world but your attitude isn't something these judges want to be around. A lot of these people behind me don't want to see you either. [flips over Brandy's photo] But some of them do. [Brandy is relieved and starts crying] Brandy, Congratulations.

[to Tyra] Oh! Thank you so much! Thank you so much!

Tyra

[to Brandy] What are you going to try to work on?

[to Tyra] My attitude! Thank you so much!

Tyra

[to Brandy] Congratulations. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. [to Brita] Thank you Brita.

[to Tyra and the judges] Thanks, guys. [in confessional after getting eliminated first] I'm just peeved off right now. I'm actually regretting this experience a little. First girl kicked off. Pictures were horrible. Gosh! This sucks! I was hoping this would be the next bigger, better thing for me and I blew it.

Tyra

[to Keenyah] The first name that I am going to call is... [flips over Keenyah's photo] Keenyah. [Keenyah comes to collect her photo] Congratulations.

[to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra

[to Keenyah] You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

Janice

[referring to Rebecca's "Virgo" photograph] It's a pedestrian! It just doesn't register model!

Even though you're the virgin, you're the virgin that everybody wants.

Nigel

Right.

So you have to be very sensual.

Janice

Tyra, when you're strutting down the runway doing Victoria's Secret, wearing those bat wings, what are you thinking?

Tyra

I ain't thinking I'm no virgin.

Tyra

[to Brandy and Lluvy standing in the bottom two] One of you had an attitude with a capital A. The judges aren't sure if that's something that can be healed in twelve weeks and one of you has only taken one good photo. Tonight about your Pisces photo I even said that it's the worst photo in the history of America's Next Top Model. One of you might have a little bit more potential than the other. [flips over Lluvy's photo] Congratulations, Lluvy. [Lluvy comes to collect her photo whilst Tiffany starts looking sad] You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

[to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra

[to Brandy] Thank you Brandy.

[to Tyra] Thank you. [leaves panel, Tatiana looks at the departure, Tiffany continues to look sad]

Tyra

[to Cassandra] Miss. Cassandra. Haystack Honeys. [Cassandra comes to collect her photo] Congratulations. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

[to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra

[to Nicole] Nicole. Working the Pretty Peasants page. Congratulations, Nicole.

[to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra

[to Coryn] Coryn. Rocking the Rustic Ruffles. Congratulations, Coryn.

[to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra

[to Kim] Kim. Haunting Haberdasheries. You seem sad, Kim.

[to Tyra] I'm just really surprised.

Tyra

[to Lisa] Lisa. Farmhand Faytales. Congratulations. [to Nik] And closing out our story is Nik. Country Couture. Congratulations, Nik. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

[to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra

[to Nik] You're welcome. [to Ebony, Bre, Jayla, Diane, Sarah and Kyle who were not strong enough to outshine their teammates] So six ladies stand before me. The six weakest pictures are what you all represent right now which means one of you will go home. [referring to the strongest / best photo out of the unsafe group] The first name that I'm going to call is... [flips over Bre's photo] ...Bre. [Bre comes to collect her photo] Congratulations. [Bre is relieved to be safe, flips over Jayla's photo] Jayla. [Jayla comes to collect her photo] Congratulations. [flips over Sarah's photo] Sarah. [Sarah comes to collect her photo] Congratulations. [to Ebony, Diane and Kyle in the bottom three] The next name that I'm going to call is... [flips over Kyle's photo] ...Kyle. [Kre comes to collect her photo] Congratulations. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

[to Tyra] Thank you. [joins the other nine girls who are already safe]
