[to Cassandra] I'm not going to screw you over.
RTRob Talty
[to Cassandra] You know I have your back always.
RTRob Talty
[to Cassandra] I'm just going to round out the front a little bit. So you can go on a little bit.
[in confessional about having an extra inch of hair cut] It wasn't just cutting an extra inch and half for me. It was the last straw in them completely trying to change who I was.
[to Cassandra after all the other ten girls are finished with the photoshoot] Rob's ready to cut your hair. We're going to get started.
[to Jay Manuel about having an extra inch of hair cut] I'm not going to cut it, Jay.
[to Cassandra] You're not going to cut it?
[to Jay Manuel about having an extra inch of hair cut] I'm not going to cut it. [in confessional about having an extra inch of hair cut] I told him I wasn't going to cut my hair anymore. I didn't feel like I needed to in order to be successful at this.
[to Cassandra] So, you're ready to cut your hair?
[to Cassandra] You know, I really don't have time for this today so... you just got to leave my set, okay? [in confessional] Cassandra did not want to cut an extra inch off of her hair. I've said to her: "Do you realize by not complying with this haircut where that put you?" and she said "Well, I guess I'm going to go home." [Cassandra leaves the set, Nik sees this, Jayla looks stunned]
[in confessional] I have to be myself and I want to walk away from this knowing what I did right in the long run and that includes not letting people change who I am. [goes to the Limousine whilst Jay Manuel rings Tyra from this cell mobile telelphone]
Tyra[on the phone to Jay Manuel] Hello?
[on the phone to Tyra] Hello Tyra.
Tyra
[on the phone to Jay Manuel] Yeah?
[on the phone to Tyra] It's Jay. [Limousine takes Cassandra home to collect belongings for departure]
[in confessional after quitting the competition] I'm going home. I'm going to go back to Texas and I'm going to get some hair extensions and hopefully, you'll see me as a future Miss. U.S.A.. [gets into Chevrolet Express and leaves]
Tyra
[to the ten remaining girls at judging about Cassandra quitting] Being a model means being able to adapt to a whole variety of different situations. Cassandra was more interested in holding on to one inch of hair than in learning and adapting. So I'm saying to each and every one of you. Think long and think hard while you're here and either commit to wanting to be a top model or step forward right now and you can go back to the house and pack your bags. Does anyone want to go home? [to Lisa] I see you're thinking over there, Lisa.
[to Tyra] Oh no! I'm not going nowhere.
Tyra
[to the ten remaining girls at judging about Cassandra quitting] Well then we can proceed with judging.
[to Kim at judging] I like especially the fact that you decided to wear the same jewelry tonight as you did in the picture. Very inspiring.
Tyra
Did you steal the jewels?
Tyra
Like, you paid for them?
Yeah, I really love them! I don't know, I love them.
Tyra
'Cause models usually steal stuff.
[while Twiggy and J Alexander laugh] As we've learned. Do you have any energy drinks back there?
Tyra
[to Gina] So why do you want to be America's Next Top Model?
[to Tyra] I think that there's just not enough Asian models out there. I feel that I can break down that barrier, and I think it's our responsibility.
Tyra
[to Gina] You say that you're not the girl next door. You're wild. What do you mean by that?
[to Tyra] If you were to ask me to get down and strip naked, I will do it. That's just how I am.
Tyra
[to Gina] Well...
[to Tyra] But the thing is, like, my parents kinda have a thing with that sort of stuff. [a picture of Gina with her parents at her high school graduation flashes on screen] I mean, I don't know if I would go against my parents. I—I'm not sure. I mean—I kinda believe more in the American culture more than my parents.
[to the judges] I'm not into Asian guys.
Tyra
[to Gina] Why not?
[to Tyra] The thing is, they're a lot shorter than I am, which is something that I can't tolerate. [J Alexander laughs]
[to Gina] You've come so full circle from your initial statement.
Tyra
[to Gina] But do you understand how you were a contradiction? First you were saying, "I'm Asian, I'm strong, I'm Korean." And then you're saying, "Screw Korean boys, and I want a white boy."
[in confessional] I don't know what exactly happened, but I got confused and I started contradicting myself because certain things just started coming out, and it didn't make any sense.
[to the judges] I am so excited to be here. I've been waiting for this day forever. Forever, okay? My name is Jade, and Tyra, you're such an inspiration to me. The two Jays, amazing. [in confessional] I need a team. Tyra, the two Miss Jays are my team. And they're gonna make me shine. [to the judges] People think I'm a bitch when they first meet me because I'm pretty and I have this beautiful body. But when they get to know me, I'm so cool. I'm very real. [J Alexander nods] Every time I walk down the street, I mean, heads are turning. Like, look at this... ! [in confessional] People know! They know Jade, they know my face! [to the judges] I'm ready to win. I'm ready to be America's Next Top Model, 'cause I know I have what it takes. [in confessional] I cannot wait to be me, and show the world who I am. I'mma blow them away, and they're gonna see who Jade really is.
[to Tyra and J Alexander after Jade walks out in her swimsuit] Humility she does not lack!
Tyra
She's so, like, nature girl Afro. Like, Afrocentric beads. She'd be like my sister.
Tyra
The last name that I am going to call will round out these twelve girls over here and make it thirteen and out of that thirteen one of those girls is going to be America's Next Top Model. The last name that I am going to call is... [to Wendy] Wendy!
[to Tyra] Thank you so much!
Tyra
[to Wendy who has just joined Jade, Sara, Mollie Sue, Leslie, Joanie, Nnenna, Kari, Brooke, Danielle, Kathy, Furonda and Gina as finalist number thirteen] One thing that I want to tell you, you're standing over there because you have a really great personality and a lot of modelling potential. It's no pity party here.
Tyra
[to Wendy, Jade, Sara, Mollie Sue, Leslie, Joanie, Nnenna, Kari, Brooke, Danielle, Kathy, Furonda and Gina] Now you all can celebrate!
[in confessional about making it into the top thirteen] It feels like I entered a dream! [hugs Kathy] I'm going to reestablish my life and I'm going to start over new.
Tyra
[to Jade at the very first official judging panel] You don't think you're arrogant at all, Jade?
[to Tyra] No. I'm very humble, I'm very down to earth.
[to Jade] Well, I was about to say, "humble."
[to Nigel] Yes, I am humble.
[to Jade] A part of being humble is being quiet...
[to Nigel] Well, humble inside, I mean.
[to Jade] ...and listening...
[to Nigel] Nigel, I mean humble inside.
[to Jade] ...and not talking over the judges!
[prior to makeovers, Tyra is telling each girl what they're going to get]
Tyra
Brooke, when we look at you, we think Victoria's Secret, we think high fashion, so you know who's hair you're gonna get?
Mine. [everyone starts laughing]
[girls return to the panel to receive the verdict for the second elimination]
Tyra
Twelve lovely girls stand before me but I only have eleven photos in my hands and these photos represent the girls that are still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. The first name that I am going to call is... [flips over Brooke's photo] ...Brooke [Brooke comes to collect her photo] Congratulations. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.
Tyra
The next name that I am going to call is... [flips over Danielle's photo] ...Danielle. [Danielle comes to collect her photo, flips over Nnenna's photo] Nnenna. [Nnenna comes to collect her photo, flips over Kari's photo] Joanie. [Kari comes to collect her photo, flips over Furonda's photo] Furonda. [Furonda comes to collect her photo, tells Furonda how far she has come] You were at the bottom of the pack! You're photo last week was ugh! But this, look at how your eyes connect. That's a model. Congratulations. The next name that I am going to call is... [flips over Gina's photo] ...Gina. [Gina comes to collect her photo, flips over Mollie Sue's photo] Miss. Mollie Sue. [Mollie Sue comes to collect her photo, makes a name comparison] You know how I love saying your name like that. My name is Tyra Lyn. Congratulations. [flips over Leslie's photo] Leslie. [Leslie comes to collect her photo, flips over Sara's photo] Sara. [Sara comes to collect her photo] Sara you have the judges all confused and just... [Sara laughs] So you have a lot to prove. Congratulations. [Wendy, Joanie and Jade are left standing anxiously in the final three to await the last girl safe from the bottom two before receiving the verdict for the second elimination] The next name that I am going to call is... [flips over Joanie's photo] ...Joanie. [Joanie comes to collect her photo] Congratulations, Joanie. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. [to Wendy and Jade in the bottom two] Will Jade and Wendy please step forward? Two beautiful interesting women stand before me but I only have one photo in my hands and this photo represents the girl that is still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. I will only call one name and the girl that I do not call must immediately return to the house, pack her belongings and go home. Wendy the judges see a model in person but for two weeks in a row, they have been less than impressed with your photos. So what the judges see right now is a lot of potential. They haven't seen that potential put into a photo. Jade, you are standing right in front of me because you have a lot of excuses, that you don't take responsibility for your actions. So who goes home? [long pause; Tyra flips over Jade's photo] Jade.
Tyra
We think the arrogance is actually insecurity but we feel that you have potential if you can show us the real Jade. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.
[Tyra sees Wendy hugging Mollie Sue and Joanie, Leslie looks like she is about to cry]
[in confessional after getting eliminated] I think I was a little shocked when Tyra delivered the news that I would be going home. [opens the front door to the house] I don't think I was really expecting it. [packing bags] I think my family will be proud of me that I've made it this far. [portfolio is shown] I wouldn't look at it as this is the end for I believe for me and that really likes what they think is all the beginning. [pulls suitcase and leaves]
Tyra
[to Brooke who has survived the bottom two over Gina] With possibilities there's potential, Brooke. Congratulations. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.
Tyra
[to Gina] Thanks, Gina.
[to Tyra] Thank you. [hugs Nnenna and Jade]
[in confessional after getting eliminated fourth] Modeling is definitely a lot hard than what people might think. I'm sad because I know I could have done so much better. I've learned that not everyone will like me no matter how friendly I am. There's always going to be obstacles in my life and it's up to me to figure it out on my own. [leaves house]
Tyra
Well, you guys are the Top 9. So, you've gotten this far. Is it hard to walking into the judging room, and... [sighs] I've been working so hard, I'm so tired, you guys. So...I'm so sorry, you guys. I don't mean to be all weak in front of you, but I'm just so light-headed.
Somebody bring her some water.
Tyra
I'm alright. [she "faints" soon after getting up from the couch]
Where's her pulse? Check her pulse!
Tyra
[gets up] I'm alright. [long pause] TODAY YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO LEARN ABOUT ACTING!! WE'RE GOING TO LEARN ABOUT ACTING! ACTING, ACTING, ACTING! THAT WAS FAKE!!
Tyra
[notices Furonda crying and walks to her] Aw! Are you okay?
[in confessional about Tyra] I think Tyra's too good of an actress, and that was a very mean trick she played on us!
