America's Next Top Model, Cycle 10 was the tenth cycle of America's Next Top Model and the fourth season to be aired on The CW network. The promotional catchphrase of the cycle is "New Faces, New Attitude, New York." The promotional song was "Feedback" by Janet Jackson.

The international destination for this cycle is Rome, Italy, marking the first time the show has visited a previous cycle's international destination country. The winner, similar to the past three cycles, won management and representation by Elite Model Management, a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics, a billboard in Times Square with her CoverGirl ad, and a cover and six-page spread within Seventeen magazine. This season averaged 4.23 million viewers.^[1]

A few major changes were made this season. The show was moved back to New York, after being housed in Los Angeles since Cycle 4. The number of contestants was also increased to 14, after being maintained at 13 since Cycle 5. Finally, the judging panel, unchanged since Cycle 5, was also altered; Twiggy was replaced by Czech supermodel Paulina Porizkova due to the former's scheduling conflicts.^[2] It also featured the first refugee contestant, Fatima Siad.

The winner was Whitney Thompson, 20, from Atlantic Beach, Florida, making her the first plus-sized model to win.

[edit] Episode summaries

[edit] Welcome To Top Model Prep

First aired February 20, 2008

35 girls arrived in Los Angeles at "Top Model Prep" where they met Mr. Jay Manuel and Miss J. Alexander. They shot a class photo before commencing runway lessons with Miss J., where Lauren was seen as the weakest walker. Next, the girls attended a bonfire where the "Homecoming Queen" was going to be announced. The cheerleaders by the stage were revealed to be a few contestants from past cycles. Mr. Jay then announced that the finalists would be taken to New York City. The homecoming queen turned out to be Tyra, who surprised the girls, coming from behind the curtains. Casting interviews then commenced.

In between interviews, a fight broke out between Shaya (revealed to be a niece of Muhammad Ali) and Fatima, but they later forgave each other when Fatima revealed that she was a survivor of female circumcision, but returning applicant Marvita (failed to join Cycle 9) gave somewhat offending comments about her revelation. Memorable auditions included Stacy Ann's lap dance, Fatima telling the judges about her genital mutilation, and Claire's confession about drinking her own breast milk so her baby could breastfeed when she returned home. After the interviews, the girls were pared down to the final 20, where they participated in a senior class photo shoot and had to do their own hair and make up.

Later in the day, Tyra revealed the final 13. When she called "Aimee/Amy," both advanced, and Amy offered to change her name to avoid confusion. When the thirteenth girl was chosen, Tyra mentioned that so many girls had potential, but chose Dominique as the fourteenth and last finalist.

[edit] New York City, Here We Come

First aired February 27, 2008

The girls were taken to their loft in New York City featuring a humanitarian theme. Amy decided to change her name to "Amis." To Amis, Fatima and Kimberly's frustration, there was a "no smoking" sign which led them to smoke outside of the loft. Mr. and Miss J. arrived and rounded up the girls for a city tour. The final stop was a Badgley Mischka runway show.

After the show, Fatima unintentionally hit Marvita in the face with her hand, brewing tension. The girls were then taken to Elite Model Management building and they met Paulina Porizkova and Neal Hamil, and Paulina gave each girl brutal and harsh criticism.

At the photo shoot, the girls had to portray homeless women being surrounded by high fashion models (where one of the background models was eventual Cycle 11 contestant, Isis). Most of the girls received positive feedback, but Amis' over-enthusiasm and Kimberly's dead expressions were criticized. Later, Kimberly admitted to Fatima that high fashion was not her interest.

At judging, Paulina Porizkova was revealed to be the new panel judge, replacing Twiggy. When Kimberly was called for evaluation, she stated her lack of desire for the fashion industry, and proceeded to quit the competition, despite having a stellar photo. She was the third contestant to voluntarily leave the show, after Cycle 5's Cassandra Whitehead and Cycle 9's Ebony Morgan. Months later on the Tyra Banks Show, Kimberly revealed the true reason she quit the contest; she suffered a mental breakdown due to her ex-boyfriend's suicide happening three months prior to the competition, which in turn, revived her experiences of her mother's suicide as a child.

• Quit: Kimberly Rydzewski

Despite the shock of the sudden exit, Tyra announced that there would still be an elimination. While Anya, Whitney, Claire, Aimee, and Lauren shone, the rest of the girls did quite well except Dominique, Allison, Amis and Atalya. Atalya and Amis were revealed to be the bottom two, with Atalya lacking a high fashion appeal and Amis looking lost in her photo. However, the judges saw Amis as "edgy," and she stayed in the competition while Atalya was sent home.

• First call-out: Anya Kop
• Bottom two: Amis Jenkins & Atalya Slater
• Eliminated: Atalya Slater
• Featured photographer: Sarah McColgan
• Special guests: Mark Badgley, James Mischka, Neal Hamil, Taz Tagore
• CoverGirl of the Week: Claire Unabia

[edit] Top Model Makeovers

First aired March 5, 2008

The girls received Apple Bottoms apparel that came in white purses. Allison was offended when Fatima told her that she had a larger body than hers, and Allison revealed her past struggles with anorexia. The girls were taken to Wal-Mart for a CoverGirl make up challenge, which Claire won. Back at the house, Allison used dolls to represent the earlier incident between herself and Fatima. Playing with an African-American doll, Allison re-enacted the incident offensively with somewhat racist remarks. Fatima took this badly, and fired back that it wasn't her problem that she had an eating disorder and needed to take responsibility for her own anorexic issues.^[3]

Later, the girls received their makeovers. To mimic a true agency, Tyra didn't tell the girls their makeovers. Fatima's new weave came with a lot of pain, but she ended up loving it. There was general satisfaction among the other girls as well, except for Stacy Ann, who wished for Naomi Campbell's long hair.

The photo shoot took place on a yacht with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background. They met Elle Macpherson and modelled her line of lingerie called "Intimates."

At judging, Lauren shone for her awkwardness that translated into high fashion, while Marvita and Aimee were equally praised. Amis and Katarzyna, however, struggled tremendously in the photoshoot. Whitney had a poor performance as well; part of it wasn’t even her fault. Tyra was disappointed when she found out that the dresser covered up Whitney’s sexy full figured body. Dominique and Allison landed in the bottom two; Dominique for her soccer mom look; Allison for not knowing the words "thank you" with her arrogant personality and both ultimately for their lackluster photos. Tyra then called Dominique's name, informing her that she would be given at least one more week in the competition along with a change in hair color and Allison was eliminated.

• First call-out: Lauren Utter
• Bottom two: Allison Kuehn & Dominique Reighard
• Eliminated: Allison Kuehn
• Featured photographer: George Holz
• Special guests: Elle Macpherson, Stephen Knoll, Brent Poer, Molly Stern
• CoverGirl of the Week: Claire Unabia

[edit] Where's The Beef?

First aired March 12, 2008

The girls were taken to the New York City Fire Department where they met Miss J. for a runway teach. They had 90 seconds to change into proper outfits, but Fatima failed to change shoes. The mock runway was performed in front of the firefighters.

Tension brewed in the house when Aimee called a shower all to herself, being uncomfortable nude in front of the others. When Whitney defended Aimee's conservative views, Fatima and Marvita told Aimee to stand up for herself.

The girls were then taken to a runway show where they had to walk for fashion label "Tuleh," and they met Cycle 8 winner Jaslene Gonzalez, who critiqued them after the show. Fatima and Whitney's wardrobe malfunctions didn't go unnoticed, but Lauren's speedy walk was heavily criticized. Katarzyna won the challenge, and picked Amis and Marvita to join in her prize - a Lot 29 photo shoot in Seventeen magazine with Jaslene.

For the week's photo shoot, the girls were taken to the Meat Packing District, posing with and wearing meat. Aimee, Amis and Fatima all struggled in the strange environment.

Twenty minutes before panel, Amis was still sleeping, and she only had time to don a headband and hooded jacket. Unsurprisingly, she was criticized for not dressing like a model. While Anya and Whitney shone, Tyra told Lauren that she would have been called first if not for her bad walk.

The bottom two were revealed as Amis, for her lack of focus, and Fatima, for her poor facial expressions and for poor posing. Amis was eliminated with her desire to win being questioned.

• First call-out: Anya Kop
• Bottom two: Amis Jenkins & Fatima Siad
• Eliminated: Amis Jenkins
• Featured photographer: Trevor O'Shana
• Special guests: New York City Fire Department, Bryan Bradley, Andrew Weir, Jaslene Gonzalez, Ann Shoket, Janice Welles
• CoverGirl of the Week: Claire Unabia

[edit] Top Model Takes It To The Streets

First aired March 19, 2008

The girls met posing instructor Benny Ninja, who teamed up with supermodel Vendela Kirsebom to teach the girls the different poses for catalogue, commercial and couture shots in an abandoned warehouse. Back at the house, Whitney created a phone list which was a schedule that assigned each girl a limited amount of time to call home. When Dominique missed her phone time, she caused a row with Whitney, escalating to the point where Dominique accused Whitney of being a racist, which the latter angrily denied.

For their challenge, Benny and Vendela tested their knowledge of the three types of poses by pitting them against each other in a posing challenge. Team B, consisting of Claire, Katarzyna, Marvita, Stacy Ann and Whitney, ultimately won a trip to a swag tent. Claire was deemed the best overall and won an additional prize - a trip to Bora Bora.

The week's photo shoot required the girls to do an extreme beauty shot with paint as their main makeup. Most girls delivered once again but Marvita and Whitney all struggled with their shots.

At panel, most of the girls were praised for strong shots, especially Stacy Ann's, but Marvita and Whitney's pictures were deemed unsatisfactory. The judges thought Fatima's picture was beautiful but she was heavily criticized for not shaving her armpits, which showed in her picture.

In the end, Whitney and Marvita landed in the bottom two, both for their bad photos and questionable passion for the competition. Marvita was eliminated because the judges felt that Whitney had more desire.

• First call-out: Stacy Ann Fequiere
• Bottom two: Marvita Washington & Whitney Thompson
• Eliminated: Marvita Washington
• Featured photographer: Peter Buckingham
• Special guests: Benny Ninja, Vendela Kirsebom, Karen Wood
• CoverGirl of the Week: Claire Unabia

[edit] House Of Pain

First aired March 26, 2008

This episode started with Dominique's alarm clock going off sporadically throughout the night, irritating her roommates. Tension mounted when Lauren, Claire, and Whitney accused Dominique of being a negative person, and ganged up on her bringing her to tears. But her mom convinced her that she was better than them and Dominique believed her and tried to ignore them.

Tyra taught the girls how to pose at the end of the runway and how to pose while looking pained. She then declared a pose-off, in which Anya impressed Tyra the most. The teach was actually a secret challenge, and Anya won a chance to shoot timeless nude photographs taken by Nigel Barker.

The photo shoot this week was taken place at McCarren Pool for embodying different genres of music as follows:

Contestant	Genres
Aimee	R&B
Anya	Punk rock
Claire	Country
Dominique	Folk
Fatima	Heavy Metal
Katarzyna	Emo
Lauren	Pop
Stacy Ann	House
Whitney	Grunge

Whitney was commended for her photo, while Fatima was for once given approval for her range of poses. Stacy Ann on the other hand was criticized for her photo. Katarzyna produced her best photograph to date while sporting a wig, which inspired Tyra to give her a haircut.

In the end, it was Aimee and Claire who landed in the bottom two. Despite both the girls having two of the easiest genres, each one produced a bad photo, with Aimee's being deemed lackluster and Claire's too harsh for a country theme. In the end, Claire was spared, and Aimee was sent home, despite having delivered previous great shots.

• First call-out: Whitney Thompson
• Bottom two: Aimee Wright & Claire Unabia
• Eliminated: Aimee Wright
• Featured photographer: Russell James
• CoverGirl of the Week: Claire Unabia

[edit] If You Can't Make It Here, You Can't Make It Anywhere

First aired April 2, 2008

Tension brewed when Fatima accused Lauren of dumping away her unfinished coffee. While Fatima remained calm, Lauren started swearing at Fatima.

The girls arrived at the Elite building for their go-sees challenge, and were split into two groups of four. The models walked for three designers, where they all received rather positive reviews but the designers criticized Lauren's walk. There was concern that Whitney and Dominique's dislike of each other would impede their team's progress, but their team nevertheless won the challenge, with Stacy Ann receiving the most bookings on the winning team. The entire team won a shoot for the June issue of Seventeen magazine.

At the photo shoot, the girls had to pose over a mylar sheet in water from the off-Broadway show Fuerzabruta. Claire hurt her neck after falling straight down on the sheet, causing her to struggle with her shoot. Despite the advantage of her awkward look in her past photos, Lauren received a negative critique from Jay during the photo shoot. Katarzyna also received her new haircut, which she took great delight in despite tearing up a bit at first.

At panel, Fatima, Anya, Katarzyna and Whitney received universal praise. Stacy Ann was congratulated for her challenge win but her film was criticized. Lauren's awkward personality, weak presence in the judging room, and mediocre photo landed her in the bottom two together with Claire, who was criticized for her lack of versatility and "one note look." Despite a stellar portfolio, Claire was sent packing.

• First call-out: Fatima Siad
• Bottom two: Claire Unabia & Lauren Utter
• Eliminated: Claire Unabia
• Featured photographer: Mike Rosenthal
• Special guests: Karen Lee, Kristy Hinze, Shoshanna Gruss, Pamella De Vos, Stacey Bendit, Ann Shoket
• CoverGirl of the Week: Katarzyna Dolinska

[edit] TOP MODEL 10 Confidential

First aired April 9, 2008

This was the cycle's recap episode. It reviewed the first seven episodes and showed some never-before-seen footage, including Stacy Ann singing to the judges during casting, Claire's breastmilk-pumping antics, Marvita parading around the house naked as well as annoying the other girls by playing badly on a guitar, the New York firefighters' mock runway show, Anya photographing the other girls, a playful wrestling fight between some girls and a fun night out at "Libation," a New York pub, where Stacy Ann took a bottle of "complimentary" vodka back home.

[edit] For Those About To Walk, We Salute You

First aired April 16, 2008

The girls learned about interview skills from Paulina Porizkova. Lauren cut the tip of her thumb while chopping onions and needed stitches.

This week's challenge required the girls to work a "green" carpet at a 7 Up party and handle themselves well at the party. Anya was praised for her ability to connect with others, and won another nude photo shoot for 7 Up and $10,000 as payment. Back at the house, Stacy Ann confessed that she was jealous of Anya for winning the challenge.

Tyra Mail hinted to the girls that they were going abroad, and the girls packed their belongings. They were taken to an airplane-themed photo shoot where Jay told them that they would be portraying a group of jet-setters boarding the airplane, using their suitcases as props. Fatima ran into trouble regarding her travel documentation (since she was not a United States citizen, but a permanent citizen holding a Green Card) and missed the photo shoot because of an appointment the show's producers had made to fix the issue at an unidentified consulate. It was unclear whether this was the Italian consulate or the Consular Mission of another African nation, since Somalia did not have a government recognized by United States at that time.

After the shoot, the girls were told that judging would take place immediately - at the tarmac airplane hangar - and it was revealed that after judging, they would be jet-setting to their abroad location, though Tyra did not reveal where this was. Most of the girls were praised, especially Dominique for being perky in her photo despite her almost-masculine look (with Tyra remembering Cycle 6's Joanie Dodds' energy in her Krumping Photo Shoot). Whitney was criticized for being too "pageant," though Mr. Jay gave her credit for working hard on set. Stacy Ann was lambasted for not knowing her angles.

In the end, Fatima landed in the bottom two with Stacy Ann. Fatima was called out for missing the photoshoot, and Stacy Ann for her overall potential. Fatima was ultimately saved by her better and improving portfolio. This made Fatima the second girl in ANTM history to miss a photo shoot and not get eliminated, after Shannon Stewart of Cycle 1 and is also the first girl ever in ANTM history to miss a photo shoot and be kept over someone who had taken a shoot.

After elimination, Tyra announced that the remaining six girls would go to Rome, Italy for the rest of the competition.

• Bottom two: Fatima Siad & Stacy Ann Fequiere

[edit] VIVA ITALIA!

First aired April 23, 2008

The girls arrived in Rome, where they toured the city before going to their new home. Not long after, Fatima came down with a fever and Anya helped her by bringing her dinner while Dominique gossiped about her.

Claudio Brassini gave the girls a fashion tour on Segways. Then they went to their challenge, where Gai Mattiolo judged their walks and how they looked in his clothing. Anya won the challenge and her prize was a long, white, red carpet dress, designed by Gai Mattiolo.

The girls filmed a CoverGirl commercial in Italian. Fatima, Katarzyna and Whitney were the only ones able to get their lines out fully. Jay called out Whitney for acting too fake, Katarzyna for being too flat, while naming Fatima the best of the day. Anya's lines were unintelligible, Dominique overacted and didn't get many words right, while Lauren looked like she didn't try.

At judging, only Tyra liked Whitney's commercial; the other judges thought it was too pretentious. Katarzyna was given credit for showing more personality, Anya and Dominique's commercials were laughingstocks, but Anya's flirtatiousness and Dominque's energy were both praised. Lauren was scolded for showing no desire.

Lauren and Whitney landed in the bottom two, Whitney for her fake performance during the commercial, and Lauren for her lack of confidence and tenacity. Tyra eventually handed the last screen capture to Whitney, telling her to "get real" and Lauren was sent home.

[edit] We are Spartans!

First aired April 30, 2008

The girls were brought to a gladiator fighting school, where fighting instructor, Alex Mariotti, taught them the basics of gladiator fighting. After donning gladiator costumes, Mr. Jay and Miss J. explained that the teach was supposed to help them bring out more versatility and power in their photos, before revealing the photo challenge, using the moves that they have just learned but still keep grace and composure. Whitney won the challenge and was given a €1000 shopping spree, and chose Anya to accompany her.

The girls were taken to a Roman castle for their photo shoot dressed in modern Renaissance fashion, where Tyra shot them. All of the girls but Katarzyna and Whitney received praise. At panel, Dominique was heralded for producing a gorgeous shot, but was criticized for dressing too "game-showish." Anya's photograph received universal praise, though the judges voiced concern over her generic personality. Katarzyna was criticized for having dead eyes in her photograph^[4] and for her seemingly flat personality, while Whitney was criticized for her "cramped" poses.

Katarzyna and Whitney landed in the bottom two, Whitney for her inability to live up to her full modeling potential, despite previous strong photos, and Katarzyna because the judges felt that she was coasting rather than really making an impression. Katarzyna was eliminated in her first bottom two appearance.

• First call-out: Fatima Siad
• Bottom two: Katarzyna Dolinska & Whitney Thompson
• Eliminated: Katarzyna Dolinska
• Featured photographer: Tyra Banks

[edit] Ready For My Close-Up

First aired May 7, 2008

In order to better understand their role in front of the camera, the girls were given a lesson in photography. This was followed by a challenge in which they directed and shot Paulina Porizkova, as Seventeen editor Ann Shoket looked on. Dominique's lack of focus and Anya's over-enthusiasm were critiqued, while Fatima and Whitney's professionalism were praised. Fatima was chosen as the winner, with a reward of 50 extra frames at the upcoming photo shoot.

At the photo shoot with Nigel Barker as the photographer, the girls portrayed Italian movie stars being pursued by the paparazzi. Mr. Jay and Nigel experienced difficulty getting the girls into character, leaving all feeling vulnerable. At panel, Anya was commended for a stunning photo, though it was noted that it was essentially an accident and that she required continual coaching from Jay. Whitney was told by Paulina that she at last produced a photo that did her beauty justice. Dominique was once again criticized for her dress and appearance in person, and for looking too "drag" in her photo. Though she produced a good photo, the judges expressed disappointment in Fatima for her inability to take instruction because she did not capture the correct theme, even with 50 extra frames, which pits her in the bottom two with Dominique. In the end, Fatima was considered having more potential and Dominique, whom the judges felt that the CoverGirl-sponsored prizes may not suit her, was cut.

• First call-out: Anya Kop
• Bottom two: Dominique Reighard & Fatima Siad
• Eliminated: Dominique Reighard
• Featured photographer: Nigel Barker
• Special guests: Francesco Licata, Ann Shoket
• CoverGirl of the Week: Whitney Thompson

[edit] And The Winner Is...

First aired May 14, 2008

The remaining three girls were put to the test when they had to shoot a commercial and a photo shoot for CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara. It was revealed that the winner of the cycle would have her ad on a billboard in Times Square. During the commercial, all of the girls struggled with their lines, but still managed to look like real CoverGirls.

During judging, the judges commented that Whitney's commercial was average but deemed her photo stellar while they were not impressed by Fatima's performance in her commercial. Anya's commercial was described as a "train wreck," but that was overlooked by her personality on film and her stellar look in the commercial. However, her beauty shot, as portrayed by Paulina, came off as her looking "stupid."

Anya was called first for the fifth and last time in her personality at commercial, leaving Fatima and Whitney in the bottom two, both for the fourth time. Tyra was still not clear who Whitney actually was and whether she was not as beautiful as she seemed to be and act. They also criticized Fatima for being stubborn and uninspiring in photo shoots. Ultimately, Whitney moved on and Fatima was eliminated.

• First call-out: Anya Kop
• Bottom two: Fatima Siad & Whitney Thompson
• Eliminated: Fatima Siad
• Featured photographers: Jim De Yonker

After Anya and Whitney posed for their Seventeen magazine cover shots, they finally competed in an Italian fashion runway show. Anya and Whitney competed against each other in Versace gowns, with their outfits handpicked by the designer herself, Donatella Versace. During the final deliberation, Whitney was told she did a very good job except that she forgot to pose long enough at the end of the runway. Anya was told she didn't walk as strongly compared to Whitney's confident strut, but she still looked stunning. The judges then examined both Anya and Whitney's body of work. The judges felt that Anya's photos were edgy, high fashion, and made the clothes appear worth buying while Whitney's were warm, approachable, and attractive to men.

The girls were called back in, and Tyra announced Whitney the tenth winner of America's Next Top Model.

• Final two: Anya Kop & Whitney Thompson

[edit] Reunion

This reunion aired on the Tyra Banks Show aired on October 1, 2008. All the girls but Kimberly, Allison, Aimee, Katarzyna and Anya attended.

The girls discussed both the coffee-gate and the alarm-gate and Lauren stated she thought Fatima was spoiled and didn't see coffee in the pot, while the judges were shocked to see her yell at Dominique that she was crazy. Next Marvita was discussed. A photo of her birthday was shown where the girls were around a stripper pole which made them take a jab at Stacy Ann. Marvita said she had made-up with Fatima, although she'd rather not talk about her being called ghetto. Then Amis told that she might pursue a styling career as the show made her realize that she was too loud to be a model. A featurette was also shown about castings and Michelle Mock-Falcon and Lisi Albert stated the girls should not cover in make-up, scarfs and turtle-necks but have a personality for reality TV.

Then the men were brought on the stage and Stacy Ann's husband revealed he wrote her a song about being a top model after her elimination, since she was his top model. Then came Claire's husband and daughter Halina, who is modeling for Gap, Target and Parent Magazine. Finally Whitney revealed she had adopted a dog and done a photoshoot with him. Nikeysha and ShaRaun from cycle 11 were brought to discuss their eliminations and ShaRaun revealed she used to be teased and compensated with her confidence while Nikeysha said there was a time to talk (castings) and a time not to (panel).

Nigel revealed his wife was pregnant with a girl and that they met during their modeling days. She was the one to bring him to the states. Tyra then asked him and the Jays who was the biggest diva (Nigel said Fatima and the Jays Dominique) and who spent the most time naked. It was stated that the girls even said goodnight to Dominique's hair and that Miss J. used to walk naked at his hotel. Whitney was asked if she cared about being called a plus size when she wasn't that big and said she had become fine with it. Stacy Ann, Marvita, Fatima and Whitney were all revealed as signed, with Whitney having filmed a Covergirl commercial with Rihanna and Tyra gave a shout out to Katarzyna, who was in Greece at the time modeling. Finally the Jays did a quick yes or no for aspiring models and Stacy Ann's husband's song was played through the credits.
