Tyra Banks quotes from America's Next Top Model

Tyra

Music always helps a model find her own rhythm.

Tyra

Once you plant seeds of success, your tree will bear fierce fruit.

Tyra

Work hard, perfect your poses, and life will seem like a day at the beach.

Tyra

[to Aminat, Allison and Teyona at the second last judging panel] And then there were three. This is the most gut wrenching point of America's Next Top Model beacuse at the end of tonight there will only be two finalists.

Tyra

[to Allison and Teyona at the last judging panel] The judges see a little bit something more in one of you. America's Next Top Model is... [Teyona's photo pops up] Teyona!

Tyra

[to Amber, Rae, Nicole, Jennifer, Ashley, Courtney, Erin, Lulu, Rachel, Laura, Kara, Brittany, Bianca and Sundai] This is going to be intense and it's harder for you girls. You have to be better! You have to be better than a tall girl. You can't be just as good. I will see you later and you're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

Tyra

[to Lisa who is standing in the bottom two with Bianca] I hate that Lisa's standing before me in the final two. That first girl that was on my mind when it didn't work for one of our girls, and I said, 'Call Lisa, I think she's got some potential.' But then we look at your photo and the judges are not impressed. When a photo is not very strong, they go to personality: Is she memorable?"

Tyra

[to Jennifer] Runner up for best photo is... [flips over Jennifer's photo and screams] Aaaggghhh! [Jennifer laughs] Jennifer!

Tyra

[to Ashley in the bottom two with Bianca] If I would have told you how difficult it was, you might not have been able to continue. You were the most difficult girl for me to shoot out of all of the 10 girls here.

Tyra

Best photo this week is going to be a little bit different. It’s going to be the best group and that group photo will be displayed as digital art. Best group photo is…. Brittany, Rae and Jennifer.

Tyra

Now each girl will be called individually. Laura. Congratulations.

Tyra

[to Kara in the bottom two with Ashley] Kara, you were one of our favorite girls in terms of what you brought to this competition naturally but as we've said before, it's not just about being a model the noun but you have to model, the verb and right now, you're just resting on the noun.

Tyra

[to Brittany] Brittany. Goodness that top is low! Oh my gosh! I think if I had that on it would be like pornography! Congratulations!

Tyra

[to Kara and Sundai in the bottom two] Kara when you came into the competition, Mr. and Ms. J. and I said, 'Whoa, face.' And in your first photoshoot, you showed us just how special that face was but from week to week to week, we see someone less invested in this competition. We see someone struggling that seems lost and does not know how to be found and then we have Sundai, the judges see you as an underdog. The shortest girl in this competition. In the pictures, the judges feel you are stuck in a three-quarter face. As a model, it is important to be versatile. So who stays? [flips over Sundai's photo] Congratulations Sundai.

Tyra

[to Erin and Sundai in the bottom two] Sundai you had twice the amount of photos that Erin had and probably 10-times the amount of excuses. You said that you have asthma, but many divers have asthma, and also athletes and models. We don't want our photos to be the product of our excuses and then we have Erin, a girl who was at the top of this pack when this competition started but from week to week, it's getting weaker and weaker and weaker and Erin you had half the amount of photos and it showed.
