Scenes with Tyra Banks 153

[to Tyra, Nigel and J. Alexander about Allison] To me, she looks like an Upper East Side Princess that wants us to carry her Prada Bag.

Tyra

[to Paulina, Nigel and J. Alexander about Allison] To me, she looks like a wannabe Gossip Girl!

[to Tyra] Thank you. I really like it. It's really like sophisticated but like playful at the same time.

Tyra

[to Anya at judging] Your accent is even stranger now.

Tyra

[to Allison at judging] Up next is Allison. [Allison walks down and comes forward] I almost didn't know who you were girl. You look so soft and pretty!

[to Tyra] I know! [Amis laughs]

[to Allison at judging] Thank you is also an appropriate answer. [Allison laughs]

Tyra

[to Nigel about Allison] Yeah I was waiting for the thank you. [to Allison] Is it coming? Still not coming.

[to J. Alexander, George Holtz, Tyra and Nigel about Allison] Taken as the princess who deserves it right? [Allison winks and smiles]

[to J. Alexander, George Holtz, Tyra and Paulina about Allison] Didn't quite register there. Did it? [Allison smiles]

[to Allison about her photoshoot] Beautiful legs.

Tyra

[to Allison about her photoshoot] Your eyes just looke a little far away.

Tyra

[to Allison about her photoshoot] You're just standing there.

[to Allison about her photoshoot] The lights were on but no one's home in this picture.

[to J. Alexander, George Holtz, Tyra and Nigel about Anya] I like Anya's modelling but she has a weird accent.

Tyra

[imitating Anya] Oh my gosh!

[in a repeat scene to Tyra] I really like it. It's really like sophisticated.

Tyra

[about Allison's photoshoot during deliberation] Allison.

[about Allison's photoshoot] She poses too much.

[about Allison during her evaluation] I think Allison is actually conceited.

[about Allison during her evaluation] Yes.

[about Allison during her evaluation] No idea when to say thank you.

[about Allison's photoshoot] She was tough to shoot.

Tyra

[about Allison's photoshoot] It's interesting because she has the most experience out of all the girls but it's not popping.

Tyra

[to Dominique and Allison in the bottom two] Will Dominique and Allison please step forward? Dominique the girl who loves to speak in the third person all the time. Dominique is this. Dominique is that. Look at all this. How can any of this go wrong? This is perfect but as you've seen two weeks in a row. It's not perfect and then we have Allison. Allison the girl that came into this competition so cocky because she had more experience than the other girls and one of our judges said that you don't know two words. Thank you. So who stays in this competition? [flips over Dominique's photo] Dominique. [Dominique hugs Allison who is crying before coming to collect her photo]

[to Tyra] Thank you so much.

Tyra

[to Dominique] You're going to remain in the competition for at least another week and you're going to have the hair color that I told them that you should have. Congratulations. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

[to Tyra] Thank you so much.

Tyra

[to Allison] Come here, Allison. You can't let this break you. You've had modeling experience. You've felt rejection...

[crying to Tyra] Yeah!

Tyra

[to Allison] ... but it doesn't mean that you're not good enough. It doesn't mean that you're not beautiful. It doesn't mean that you're not going to be a model. [hugs Allison who later receives a group hug before leaving]

[in confessional after getting eliminated second and returning to the loft] It's like the worst feeling right now and I barely ever cry! [packing her bags] I've never wanted anything more than this. Ever. I blew it. It's over. [portfolio is shown] I am just going to put those pictures in my portfolio, shop for agencies and suck it up and keep going. [leaves the loft pulling her suitcase and fades from Cycle 10 made over group and only eleven girls remain]

Tyra

[imitating Amis, during deliberation about Amis's headband] What do you think of her headband this week?

[during deliberation about Amis's outfit] It's like a little child. They want to stand out and they don't quite know how to except for with a really dorky headband.

[The models have just done a music-themed photo shoot. Upon evaluating Katarzyna's "emo" photo]:

See I'm confused, this looks grunge to me.

Tyra

well, this is emo.

[squinting at the photo] this is white music?

[almost deadpan] yeah, this is white music. Welcome to our world Jay.

[the models all burst into laughter]

Tyra

I have to say I think this is your best shot to date.

Yeah?

Tyra

It made me feel like, "Oh my gosh! Did we give her the wrong makeover? Should we have cut her hair?"

[asking the girls] Did anyone pour my coffee out? Because I just made coffee.

[to Fatima] No, I didn't touch it.

[to Fatima whilst continuting to make a fresh coffee] It just had grinds in it.

[in confessional] I made coffee for myself, I went back to the room to grab a jacket and I come back, and...my coffee is gone.

[to Fatima] If you had made your cup, there was only like this much left of water.

[blaming Lauren] Just admit that you poured my coffee out, that's all.

[to Fatima] I'm not admitting to anything! [in confessional] I'm not going to let another girl bother me! I'm not going to take her crap!

[still blaming Lauren] All you had to say was, "I'm sorry, it was an accident. Accidents happen," and I will back away.

[making a coffee for both herself and Fatima] Here's your cup of coffee, you big baby!

[to Lauren] You are not even worth it, sweetheart.

[getting angry] Choke on it!

[in confessional about Lauren] Lauren has a bad temper and people don't realize that by just looking at her.

[confronting Fatima] You think I threw your thing out?!

[to Lauren] Lauren, it's not something to get so upset over. [in confessional about Lauren] She acts in front of the judges like a little baby.

Tyra

[in a repeat scene of Lauren getting the top call-out when Dominique had brown hair and Allison was going to be eliminated] Shocked that you were called first?!

[in confessional about Lauren] And then she comes home and this like... monster comes out!

[in confessional after Kim quitting] I was really disappointed about Kim's decision to leave just because back in casting week there were so many girls that just... [scenes of the bottom six from the top twenty particularly Jennifer and Kristen both feeling sad and Kim receiving her diploma before joining Allison, Fatima and Katarzyna] You know, they had such a strong desire for this and she'd go ahead and take the opportunity basically right out of their hands. [Allison joins Anya, Claire, Whitney, Fatima, Lauren, Marvita, Aimee, Katazyna, Stacy-Ann and Dominique]

Tyra

[voiceover] Ultimately two girls would still have to face elimination. [to Amis and Atalya] Will Atalya and Amis please step forward!

Tyra

[to Anya, Lauren, Dominique, Katarzyna, Whitney and Stacy Ann who are about to be judged] Hi ladies. Please make your way on to this stage. That's right. There's going to be an elimination right now. [notices Fatima's absence however is unaware of Fatima needing to go and get her travel documents during the photoshoot] First of all, there's one of you missing. Where's Fatima?

[in confessional] I missed the photo shoot. What's going to happen?

[commericial break]

Tyra

[to Anya, Lauren, Dominique, Katarzyna, Whitney and Stacy Ann who are about to be judged, notices Fatima's absence, however, is unaware of Fatima needing to go and get her travel documents during the photoshoot] First of all, there's one of you missing. Where's Fatima?

[to Tyra] We don't know. [Fatima runs into the panel late, having arrived moments after the photo shoot wrapped up]

Tyra

[to Fatima] Fatima, the girls are all gorgeous and dolled up...but you're not. And you were late. Where were you?

[to Tyra] Today, actually, I had an appointment at 9 o'clock at the consulate office to get my travel documents.

Tyra

[to Fatima] So you didn't participate in the photoshoot at all?

[to Tyra] No, I did not participate. I'm really sorry. I really apologize!

Tyra

[to Fatima] You have to do the photoshoots and sometimes if a girl is sick or something, we'll evaluate her body of work, but her missing that photoshoot...is a big deal. And in the history of America's Next Top Model, those girls generally go home.

Tyra

[to Fatima and Stacy-Ann in the bottom two] Will Fatima and Stacy-Ann please step forward? Two of you stand before me and I have...something in my hands. It could be a photo of you, Stacy-Ann...or it could be a blank photo of you Fatima because you did not participate in the photoshoot. This was an interesting judging because we had to judge both of your bodies of work. And we looked at your body of work, Stacy-Ann, and we said, "Beautiful girl, beautiful Paulina jawline, absolutely beautiful eyes." But some of the judges feel like you have plateaued. Like your pictures have gotten as good as they are going to get. And then there's Fatima. The judges look at you, and they're disappointed. They're disappointed that you did not have a visa...or a passport. How can you expect to go overseas without that? And you did not participate in the photoshoot this week... [flips over a blank photo] ...but even without that... [Fatima starts crying in relief and walks to collect the blank photo] your body of work is much stronger than Stacy-Ann's. But this a lesson, Fatima, in responsibility!

[to Tyra] Thank you so much!

Tyra

[to Fatima] I'll see you overseas.

[to Tyra] Thank you! [walks back to hug Stacy-Ann] I love you. You're my favorite, you know that.

Tyra

[to Stacy-Ann] So we've got to learn our angles. We've got to know that this is so gorgeous. Okay? [hugs Stacy-Ann] You got really far. You should be proud of yourself.

[to Tyra] I am. Thank you. [to Fatima, Anya, Lauren, Dominique, Katarzyna and Whitney] Bye, girls! [in confessional after getting eliminated seventh] I am so sad right now that I'm not going overseas. It was something I really wanted to do and I was not expecting to go home. [portfolio is shown] I have so much energy and personality, sometimes it came-off as maybe too fake but just being here and learning from every photo shoot, from all the judges, I know that God has great things for me. I'm just going to keep trying. [leave the area]

Tyra

[to Lauren in the bottom two with Whitney both for the second time round] You wouldn't know how to cover up her real self if somebody paid her a million dollars. There's also something about you that takes absolutely beautiful pictures, probably some of the strongest of the bunch but what we saw in that commercial today was dreadful and we felt like you just kind of gave up. So who stays? [flips over Whitney's photo] Better get real Whitney. [Whitney comes to collect her photo] Remember we said before we're not looking for pageants. In fact Miss. America doesn't want fake types anymore. They want real girls and we want to see the real you. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. [Whitney hugs Lauren] So Miss. Lady you gave up.

[to Tyra] I don't feel like I did great.

Tyra

[to Lauren] Maybe you're that model that's just the silent movie actress.

[to Tyra] Yeah.

Tyra

[to Lauren] America's Next Top Model has to talk. Okay? [Lauren hugs Anya, Katazyna, Dominique, Fatima and Whitney]

[removing Lauren's name off of his vest] Ciao!

[in confessional after getting eliminated] I know I did a crappy job and it sucks to see yourself do so bad. You're embarrassed but the whole point of me coming to America's Next Top Model was to challenge myself. It was scary at first but then I grew to like it. Now I see two sides of Lauren punk Lauren and then the dolled-up Lauren. before I never even wanted to model and now my mind's completely changed. I really think I have a chance to have a future in it.
