Jay Manuel quotes from America's Next Top Model

Jay

[to CariDee from behind the scenes] Have fun, CariDee! [CariDee opens the final runway show]

Tyra

[watching CariDee opening the final runway show] CariDee!

Tyra

[to Bianca] So you say there's two kinds of bitches. What kinds of bitches are there?

The fun bitch, like that...that's what I categorize myself as. And then there's like the bitchy bitch that I've seen here.

Jay

Uh-oh. Who's the bitchy bitch? That's what we wanna know.

Ebony. She's like playing, like, real high and mighty. You know, real boujee. [to Tyra] You've seen it, right? She did say she had a $500 weave, and it was good.

Tyra

Do you have a weave?

Yeah.

Tyra

How much did yours cost?

Well, the hair cost me $25.

Jay Manuel

[to Mila] Hello! Are you ready?

[to Jay Manuel] Yes.

[to Tyra] Hi! I'm Allison and I am from the smallest hick town in Wisconsin and I've got to say no way I am going back!

Tyra

[to Allison] Not going back?

[to Tyra] No.

Tyra

[to Allison] And why aren't you going back?

[to Tyra] Because there are no opportunities there. There's not a lot of opportunities for modelling. [in confessional] The modelling industry is extremely competitive. Compared to the other girls I have much more experience in modelling.

Jay Manuel

[to Tyra about Allison] She's articulate.

[to Allison] I see you've been practicing.

[to Elle Macpherson] I have!

[to Allison] Simple as. Not too intense.

[in confessional] I've been practicing my facial expressions in the mirror and my previous experience compared to the other girls is obviously an automatic advantage. Oh, it sucks to be them because they're going to suck at the photoshoot and I'm not! [laughs]

[to Allison] Too aware. Too aware.

Jay Manuel

[to Allison] Have you been practicing downstairs because right now you're giving me this. [imitates Allison's pose] You're giving me this. [imitates Allison's pose] You're giving me this. [imitates Allison's pose] It feels so studied. Well, now you're posing again! You went like this and then you went... [imitates Allison's pose]

[to Allison] You cold?

Jay Manuel

[to George Holtz about Allison] No. She's posing, unfortunately.

[in confessional] We'll see at panel. You never know for sure what they're going to say but in my mind, I think I nailed it.

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]

Jay

[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 Angelea who is standing next to Aminat and starts rolling her eyes with Celia in the background] Who are you rolling your eyes at? Do you have an eye problem?

[to Sandra] Why are you smiling?

[to Angelea] Me too! Because I can!

[to Sandra] Why are you smiling?

[to Angelea] Because I can! [laughs]

[in confessional about Sandra] Sandra looked at me and she's like, "Now you want to roll your eyes?" Like, you know, like... don't get me started!

[to Angelea whilst the other casting girls including Teyona and London take notice of the fight] Long nails!

[to Sandra] So what?! So what?!

[to Angelea] You don't have any class whatsoever.

[to Sandra] I got class! [Jessica appears]

[to Angelea] So, therefore, I have no time for you! [dismisses and palms off Angelea and walks away]

[to Sandra walking behind in disgust] Ugh!

[to Angelea whilst the camera lady takes notice] Oh, yeah! Whatever! Whatever! [to Angelea, pointing] Oh, yeah! Look at them long, ugly toes.

[to Sandra, pointing] Bitch, you got ugly ass corns!

[to Angelea] Yeah, that's why I'm beautiful!

[about Sandra to Fo and Teyona] Bitch needs a perm! That's what she needs!

[to Angelea] I don't care! I do not care! [in confessional about Angelea] I will not let anyone in this competition intimidate me. If she comes at me wrong, I'm going to stand up for myself. I'm not going to try and be your friend.

Jay

[to Sandra and Angelea] Why are you fighting?

[to Jay about Sandra] This bitch is trying to try me!

[to Angelea] I don't care about you. I'm not here for you.

Jay

[to Sandra and Angelea] You couldn't just turn a blind eye? Really?! Regardless of what she did, and I don't even know what she did, let's just get you up and do your photoshoot.

[to Sandra] Goddess of love. I'm Venus.

Jay Manuel

[to Rae, Nicole, Jennifer, Ashley, Courtney, Erin, Lulu, Rachel, Laura, Kara, Brittany, Bianca and Sundai] It's probably obvious to you guys right now that we're missing someone.

[to Jay Manuel] Yeah.

Jay Manuel

[to Rae, Nicole, Jennifer, Ashley, Courtney, Erin, Lulu, Rachel, Laura, Kara, Brittany, Bianca and Sundai] Unfortunately due to personal issues, Amber will not be continuing on in the competition. However during casting week, we saw someone with amazing potential who just missed out on being one of the final 14 girls. She is going to be joining us. [Rae, Nicole, Jennifer, Ashley, Courtney, Erin, Lulu, Rachel, Laura, Kara, Brittany, Bianca and Sundai cheer when replacement finalist Lisa appears] Obviously you girls remember Lisa?!

Lisa

[in confessional] It feels great to be back in the competition. I just feel like I'm going to work extra hard. Just because I was not meant to be here doesn't mean I won't get far.

Jay Manuel

[to Nicole] Hey Nicole! You look great. You get to choose your weapon. Each of these weapons have different levels of difficulty.

[to Jay Manuel] I think I’ll go with just the sword.

[to Nicole] One!

[in confessional about the classic sword chosen for the photoshoot] I chose the classic sword because it would give more variety of poses if I had one hand free.

Jay Manuel

[about contestant Esther Petrack's "30 G" bust] Having that bust size is gonna be a problem... We're not talking D, we're talking G.

Tyra

She holds her Gs better than my Ds!

Jay

When you guys walked in this morning, you were like, "Oh, we're gonna do makeovers!" But there was something you guys didn't really know, because we have a little bit of bad news.

And the bad news is that one of you will be going home tonight.

[in confessional] When they said that someone was going home, instantly my stomach just drops, because I knew I didn't do well.

Jay

So there were a few issues that we had with some people today. Liz, if you were in a fitting with Karl Lagerfeld, and he put a dress on you, and you say, "Well, I wouldn't wear it quite like this. I've got my own plans for it"...you don't belong. Sara, on set you felt and looked a little uncomfortable. Lexie, I felt that you embraced your makeover before you went on set, but that confidence...

She left it in the chair. Right in front of the mirror.

Jay

And then, Terra, you were like, "How is this gonna work? Why is everyone else getting the long hair? What's going on with this hair?" Those are the things that the client sees, that the designers see. And you guys always have to evaluate yourselves against each other out there. Because again, there's only one that can be left behind.

So, the girl who will be going home tonight...and will pack her bags...will be Terra.

Jay

[to Terra] You are so exquisite, and you're this stunning girl. [Lexie comforts Chris as Terra is eliminated] The issue that we're struggling with, is that we don't believe that you believe that you belong.

I want more time just to show you guys that it can happen.

Jay

Well, go out there and show us. Go out there and show us.

Okay. [hugs Jay; in confessional crying] I just don't think it's right. I'd much rather they send me home before they cut my hair than after. I don't feel like it was a good decision at all. To my sister, I love you. Keep your head up. She's my second chance. [to Chris] You look so good! You do good, okay?

[crying] I'll do it for us.

[in confessional] I feel like I got lucky. It just makes me thankful for still being here, and it's kind of a wake-up call for everybody.

Jay Manuel

[referring to "sexiness" of contestant Monique Weingart] You might be bringin' the wrong crowd to the table.

Or the right crowd, if you ask me. Go on, baby!

Jay

[after Dominique falls during the plastic bubble runway challenge] Girl down!

[in confessional] I'm like, "You know what? We're about to end this bitch with a bang!" So, I was like, "Voila!" Like, "I'm out this bitch!"

[in confessional] I was getting my makeup touched up, and of course, Alexandria had to come over.

Jay

Oh, that's sweet. 'Cause you're like very motherly. She's coming to check on her, I'm like, "Oh, she can take my job! I can go home 'cause I got a headache anyway!" [in confessional] Alexandria, she was busy doing Francesco's job, she was doing my job. Then, she's like checking the lighting. I swear, the gaffers were almost nervous that Alexandria was checking out the lights!

Lisa

[in confessional about her makeover] As I'm sitting there, my hair is up to here. That's when I was like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! This is not okay!" [to Jay Manuel] Do you know how long it takes just to grow an inch?

Jay

Okay, yay. It takes four months to grow hair! For what?! You looked like a dowdy housewife!
