Tyra Banks quotes from America's Next Top Model

Tyra

A lot of young girls think that the opposite of fake is rudeness and just as ugly as fake is so is saying whatever is on your mind because it's the truth.

Will Brittani learn?

I think everyone should be given a second chance. I vote for Brittani to stay.

I vote for Brittani to stay.

Nigel Barker

I vote for Brittani to stay.

Tyra

I don't agree with you guys.

Tyra

[to Jaclyn Poole] Miss lady. Miss. Sweetness. Are we going to go home and try to learn to read a map? It's not so much about what the map represents. Do you understand?

Jaclyn Poole

[to Tyra] Yes. I do. It doesn't stop here.

Tyra

[to Jaclyn Poole] Okay.

Jaclyn Poole

[in confessional after getting eliminated] It is really sad that I don't get to participate in going abroad to Morocco but I feel so blessed that I got this opportunity. I didn't know anything coming into this competition and I've gotten so much out of it. So, this is the beginning of a career for me and if anyone's looking out for a tall brunette with a loud, squeaky, fun voice and a big personality, then that's your girl right here. [leaves panel]

Tyra

[voiceover about Alexandria in Cycle 16] On her first cycle of Top Model, Alexandria felt misunderstood by the other girls.

[to Molly, Kasia, Mikaela, Jaclyn and Hannah about Alexandria] She's so fake!

[to Brittani] I can hear you!

[to Alexandria] I don't care if you can hear me!

Tyra

[voiceover about Alexandria in Cycle 17] But she had every hope that this Cycle would be different.

[in confessional] I have a total of thirteen best friends.

Tyra

[to Nigel Barker, Andre and Jay Manuel] Well we're back in Los Angeles on the Top Model set and we're here for a special finale that's being conducted under unusual circumstances.

Nigel Barker

[to Tyra, Andre and Jay Manuel] It turns out, our production team and the network learned information from Angelea that disqualifies her from the competition.

[to Nigel Barker] So what does that mean?

Nigel Barker

[to Tyra, Andre and Jay Manuel] Well it means we're now going to do our final judging with the remaining two girls, and in the interest of fairness, the producers, and the network thought it best to evaluate Allison and Lisa on their own without the added competition of Angelea.

Tyra

[flips over Eboni's photo] Eboni. [Eboni comes to collect her photo] Congratulations, Eboni. [to Jasmia, Alisha, Annaliese, Louise and Ashley after Catherine, Sophie, Mariah, Azmarie, Seymone, Candace, Laura, Eboni and Kyle are all safe from the first elimination] So something is very clear right now isn't it? That the first girl going home for this cycle of America's Next Top Model is from Britain. [flips over Louise's photo] Louise. [Louise runs to collect her photo] She's running! Congratulations!

[to Tyra] Thank you!

Tyra

[flips over Alisha's photo] Alisha. [Alisha comes to collect her photo] The next name that I am going to call is... [flips over Annaliese's photo] Annaliese. [Annaliese comes to collect her photo feeling relieved] Congratulations! You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. [to Jasmia and Ashley] Will Jasmia and Ashley please step forward? [Ashley walks ahead and Jasmia comes down from behind Ashley] Two beautiful ladies 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. The girl that I do not call must immediately pack those bags and go back to Britain. So the judges debated about your photos.

Tyra

[flips over Laura's photo first] Laura! You knew it was amazing, girl! Get on down here and strut yourself! Taking a chance!

[to Tyra] Hey! I almost broke myself!

Tyra

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

[to Tyra] Thank you. I am honored!

Tyra

Runner up for best photo is... [flips over Ashley's photo second] Ashley!

[to Tyra] No way!

Tyra

[to Ashley] Yes way!

[to Tyra] Oh my gosh!

Tyra

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

[to Tyra] Thank you very much!

Tyra

Up next, Louise. Hello, Louise.

Hello!

Tyra

Okay. Here is the best shot that you chose.

Nigel

Huh. [to Louise] For me, you look strong. You look tough, but you're very mean.

[to Nigel] Mean?!

Nigel

[to Louise] Mean.

I feel like I can't win!

I think you need put some gratitude in your attitude, girl.

Nigel

I know you shake your head a lot, you disagree a lot. But it is also potentially good when you are being critiqued to take it in with charm.

My experience with you on the set was that you were very condescending and rude to me, which I don't really care about.

[to Kelly] No, no, no. You were rude to me!

[pause] Okay, I'm done talking to you now.

Fine.

Tyra

You just have a problem with authority.

I don't do well with rude people.

Tyra

You are a model, this is a publicist. Do you understand that?

Yeah, I do.

Tyra

There is a rank. I'm giving you a very tough lesson in how to get your career to the next level!

I think it's so important, Louise. It's one of the best things you can possibly do, and... [laughs] You're shaking your head, "No!" I'm actually saying...

No!

Tyra

Louise, why are you shaking your head?

[bleep] this! No! [to Alisha, who tries to stop her from leaving] No, get out of my way!

Please!

No! No!

Tyra

Let her go. It's okay.

I never [bleep] agreed to all of this!

Tyra

[to the girls] It's okay, ladies.

Tyra

[to Eboni and Alisha] So who stays? [flips over Alisha's photo] Alisha. [Alisha shakes her head and starts crying]

[to Tyra] I can't stay.

Tyra

[to Alisha] You can't stay?

[to Tyra] I can't be selfish when I know I need to do things for myself! I can't do it! I'm not going to take that away from them and I'm not going to take it from her (Eboni) so I would rather walk away... [sobs] to get my spirit back and to just...feel like Alisha again! I'm not being ungrateful...

Tyra

[to Alisha] I don't see you as ungrateful. There is nothing wrong for you to walk away, so you can leave but Eboni is leaving with you.

Tyra

[voiceover] Brit model Alisha just couldn't get used to her weave

[to Alisha] Alisha stop patting yuor head.
