Scenes with Tyra Banks 153

[in confessional about surviving the bottom two over Lauren and Katarzyna for the second and third time round respectively since the first time was over Marvita back in New York City] Being in the bottom two twice in a row is really bad and so far in this competition every girl that that's happened to has gone home the second time.

Tyra

[in a repeat scene of Whitney surviving the bottom two over Katarzyna the week before] The judges have faith in you Whitney.

[in confessional about surviving the bottom two over Lauren and Katarzyna for the second and third time round respectively since the first time was over Marvita back in New York City] I was completely shocked the judges called my name. I could have been cut last week.

Tyra

[to Dominique who just got eliminated tenth] Well you've come a long way? Haven't you. [hugs Dominique]

[to Tyra] Yes.

Tyra

[to Dominique who just got eliminated tenth] A very long way and you've got to master this face. That's your challenge.

[ShaRaun screams in excitement upon meeting the judges; Tyra looks at her in bewilderment while Jay Manuel laughs]

Tyra

[to ShaRaun] Are you convinced you've already won?

[to Tyra] I know it, Tyra.

Tyra

[to ShaRaun] Ooh! Tell me why!

[to Tyra] Because I am America's Next Top Model. You guys just don't know it yet! [J Alexander shakes his head]

[to ShaRaun] Who's your favorite fashion designer? I'm just curious.

[to Jay] I would not know because that's something that's not accessible to me.

Tyra

[to ShaRaun] I think it's a shame that you can't name five fashion designers.

[to Tyra] That's why I need to be on America's Next Top Model!

Tyra

[to ShaRaun] No! We're not here to educate you about the fashion industry. We're here to teach you what a fashion magazine can't teach you.

[to Analeigh] Tell me a little bit about your...Saudi Arabian price tag.

A woman approached me, and said that she was representing an agency, and that if I ever considered modeling, she'd like me to work for her, and it was opening soon.

Tyra

And did you get signed to an "agency", or...?

Well, I was never signed to the agency because they never started it. They always said, "Oh, it'll be starting soon! Just come meet all these...men!" So, one night, I went out to dinner with them, and here's...a prince. And all of a sudden, I was his dinner date. And I was really uncomfortable with this, and then I started getting phone calls and messages being like, "Well, you need to come to Saudi Arabia with us. He wants to make you his wife."

Tyra

So were you sold?

Yeah, what happens is, they have recruits in America, and so these men go to the recruits, and...pay a certain amount of money for a girl.

Tyra

I'm glad that you go out of it, and that you're safe.

Yes!

Tyra

Okay, thank you!

Thank you so much!

[after surviving the first bottom two, gives a silent "Hey!" to Tyra and the judges before going to comfort ShaRaun who is crying about getting eliminated] I'm so sorry! [waves and calls over the top twelve girls who survived elimination to help comfort ShaRaun] Come here!

[crying to everyone] Hah! I wanted this so bad!

Tyra

[to Nikeysha] So when you get a critique, you're going to listen and take it in right?

[to Tyra] I know I talk too much. Sorry.

Tyra

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

[to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra

[to ShaRaun] I know you wanted this. Really, really badly but it's not just about wanting it. You have to be real so that's something you're going to have to work on. You give me a hug. [hugs ShaRaun]

Tyra

[to Joslyn] For someone to be so sick and still to perform, that's a survivor...

[quietly to Joslyn] Come on, Joslyn. Come on.

Tyra

[to Joslyn whilst flipping over Elina's photo] ... and Joslyn, you'll be able to survive this. [to Elina] Elina! [Elina gasps]

[to Tyra] Oh my gosh!

Tyra

[to Elina and Sheena] So who stays in this competition? [flips over Elina's photo] Elina. [Elina turns around and hugs Sheena]

[to Elina] Good job!

[to Tyra] Oh my gosh.

Tyra

[to Allison] There's one thing that you say is beautiful, and it's unfair that you've never had one. What is that?

[to Tyra] Nosebleeds.

Tyra

[to Allison] What does that mean?

[to Tyra] I have a really big fascination with blood. And I just think it looks really pretty.

Tyra

[to Allison] I used to get them all the time as a child.

[to Tyra] Jealous!

[to Tyra] Oh my gosh!

Tyra

[to Natalie] Tell me. You've grown up pretty... cushy! Cushy life.

[to Tyra] Never had to work a day in my life.

[to Natalie] Is it by choice?

[to J Alexander] Yeah.

Tyra

[to Natalie] So your family's wealthy?

[to Tyra] I would say like we're on the super-rich end but...

Tyra

[to Natalie] Not Gossip Girl?

[to Tyra] No

Tyra

[to Natalie] More like 91210.

[in confessional] My family never had any financial problems. I was pretty spoilt as a child.

IIsabella (Kelly Marie)

[to Tyra] Hello!

Tyra

[to Isabella (Kelly Marie)] You're so fresh!

IIsabella (Kelly Marie)

[to Tyra] Well thank you!

Tyra

[to Aminat] The first name I am going to call is... Aminat! [Aminat cheers] How do you feel to be called first? [Aminat cheers] The next name I am going to call is... Natalie!

[to Tyra] Oh my gosh!
