“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

Tyra

[to Heather and Jenah in the bottom two] Both of you girls take probably the strongest photos out of all of the five girls in this room right now. Both how you girls have something when it comes to communication. Not the strongest communicators. With you Heather. [Heather looks worried] If you're so fantastic to us judges and on photoshoots but you can't make it to a "go see it's nearly impossible for you to book a job. Where does Heather stand in this industry? As beautiful as you are standing in front of me, obviously that's not enough and then we have Jenah. Amazing photos but an attitude that turns off the judges. [Jenah nods] So who goes to Beijing? [flips over Jenah's photo] Jenah. [Jenah hugs Heather before coming to collect her photo]

[in confessional after getting eliminated ninth] I really wanted to win. I wanted to prove that I could do this. I first came in here thinking my Asperger's would be way more of a problem than it really was. I thought I wouldn't be able to get along with any of the girls. I'd be too different and since I've been here, I've learned so much. I learned to be more confident and I plan to not always be so self-conscious. I think the experience is much more than a prize.

[in confessional about surviving the bottom two over Heather sarcastically] Being in the bottom two is actually one of the best feelings in the world. You should try it.

Tyra

[to Bianca] Hopefully an agency will sign you with those simple snapshots.

Jenah, you've always been such a strong contender. And I could see when you got the criticism, it was really hurting you, which I understand.

I just hate being misunderstood by my friends.

Girl, it's always gonna happen.

Tyra

What do you think they're misunderstanding?

I just hate that, like, just because I'm not running around like smiling all the time that makes me mean, or makes me think I'm better than people. I don't have to just spew rainbows incessantly just for girls to want to be like me! Or just...just the fact that people want their little sisters looking up to me. That bothers me.

Tyra

Why do have such an armor? There's something protecting you, so why do you think you have that?

I'm used to being really strong and having to be really strong.

Tyra

Why are used to having to do that?

Because I had to be a mom!

Tyra

You had to raise your family.

My little sisters, yeah.

So, then you have some of that resentment towards Momma?

[starts crying] I hate this! I...[sobs] I don't like crying in front of you guys because I don't want you to think that I'm weak.

Tyra

I'd rather see a girl crying in front of me because she's hurt, because she might have missed a lot of her childhood and being a normal girl, then saying "Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh!" Which one is more of a human being that's more likable and vulnerable? This one probably feels a lot more uncomfortable, but it's a lot more real. The other one is just, like, protection. Remember when we did that photo shoot, and you wanted to find yourself and you wanted to climb to the other side of the wall to find who Jenah is?

Yeah.

Tyra

So the real Jenah who she really is is on the other side of that wall!

Tyra

You just did.

[to Tyra] My name is Dominique.

[to Tyra] I showed him that you can't put a price on all of this.

Tyra

[to Dominique] What is, "all of this?"

[to Tyra] Pretty!

[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.

[in confessional] Shaya is goofy. Shaya is sexy.

[to the casting girls] Teach me something sexy, 'cause right now I'm like stick figure!

[to Marguerite] I got to give you a beat!

[to Shaya] Whoo!

[in confessional about the casting girls] To me, most of the girls here are cool, but I don't think they understand how stupid they act sometimes. [to the casting girls] You girls are way too ghetto! Like...

[to Fatima] Hoh!

[to Fatima] What?!

[to Fatima] You know what?! That's who I am!

[to the casting girls] I'm just saying you can be black and smart and beautiful.

[to Fatima] You know what that's who I am! I'm going be Shaya no matter what any girl up in this room says!

[to Shaya] Alright! Alright!

[to Fatima] Shaya going to be Shaya no matter what anyone says!

[to Shaya] Alright!

[in confessional about Fatima] The girl from Africa, she called me ghetto, but she didn't say ghetto, like, "Aww, Shaya you're so ghetto." Like, she said it, "Ugh, you're so ghetto".

[to Shaya] I understand! To me, you look like the typical ghetto person. [in confessional about the casting girls] A lot of the girls here, I feel like most of them are actually intimidated by me. You know, they look at me, and they're like, "You're so exotic-looking. Like, you're so going to get this, you know?" [to the casting girls] I am a beautiful African person who has manners, education and class!

[to Fatima] I've got manners! I'm from America! I'm not from...Africa! [Fatima just shrugs]

[to Tyra] Hi!

Tyra

[to Katarzyna] Hi!

[to Tyra] My name is Katarzyna. I was actually born in Poland, in Lublin, Poland.

[to Fatima] I love you. I'm sorry.

[to Shaya] It's okay.

[crying to Fatima] I could never imagine doing something like that!

[to Shaya] Don't worry. It's okay.

[to Fatima] So do you feel like less of a woman?

[to Marvita] Shut up!

[to Whitney and Allison] I'm asking her!

[to Marvita] Seriously?! No one asked you!

[in confessional about Marvita] Marvita is being totally inapproriate.

[to Allison] I'm not...

[to Marvita about Fatima] You keep asking her!

[to Allison] You know what? You need to shut up.

[to Marvita] No! I don't need to shut up! Don't put your hand on me!

[to Allison] Bitch, if you touch me, you're going to die. [Shaya hugs Fatima]

[to Marvita] I'm not touching you! [in confessional about Marvita] Marvita is abrasive because she yells at everybody!

Tyra

[to Shalynda] How many times did you audition?

[to Tyra] Eight times!

[to Fatima] Wait! Let me tell you something! Everybody's got ghetto-ness in them!

[to Shalynda] Yeah, but what is ghetto to you?

[about Fatima in confessional] Fatima said that all black girls here are ghetto and I'm the wrong person to mess with. Especially when I know I'm in a competition, you do not want to get on my bad side. [to Fatima] I have accepted the fact that I'm a bitch. I've been called everything in the book. I've accepted that. I know who I am.

[to Shalynda with Allison and Shaya watching] So you are a bitch?

[to Fatima with Allison and Shaya watching] You maybe don't...

[to Shalynda with Allison and Shaya watching] So you... You are a bitch?

[to Fatima with Allison and Shaya watching] I am. I'm everything...

[to Shalynda with Allison and Shaya watching] Oh, okay. Can I call you bitch?

[to Fatima with Allison and Shaya watching] I've been called... No! You cannot call me bitch...

[to Shalynda with Allison and Shaya watching] But you just said that...

[to Fatima with Allison and Shaya watching] ...because that is not my name!

[to Shalynda with Allison and Shaya watching] You just said...

[to Fatima with Allison and Shaya watching] That is not my government name! [Shaya grabs Shalynda and pulls her away from Fatima] So you would not call me bitch to my face because you don't know me! [about Fatima in confessional] I can't believe that that even came out of her mouth! Like, it was honestly just like a switch just went off in my head! [to Fatima whilst Shaya keeps pulling her to the corner] Yes! Yes! Let me tell you something, hoe! Shut up, bitch! You're dead in my book!

[in confessional about Shalynda] If you have an opinion fine but screaming just does not get the point across.

[in confessional about making it to the top twenty] I am so stoked!

[in confessional about her elimination] If they don't want me, they don't want me.
