Elimination
Tyra: Hello ladies and welcome to this weeks elimination. I will say overall you girls did really well this week, it was really hard to decide the call out order because none of the photos were really that bad. The first name I will call is.................
CATHERINE!
Congratulations Catherine!
MEAGHAN! Glad to see you back on top Meaghan.
MONTANA!
ALISAR! You didnt do bad, so dont be upset about a low call out.
Will Stacey-Ann and Chantal please step forward?
Its interesting to see you both here. Chantal you were one of the first frontrunners to arise, consistantly taking amazing photos, however the past few weeks it seems as if your struggling to take direction, it just seems like your performance have platued, your not exactly bottom of the barrel but your no longer on top. Stacey-Ann, you are like the underdog of this competition. When the competition started I didnt have too mant expectations for you but each week you kept improving, and even when you had bad weeks you would get right back up. This week though you struggled with your face, more specifically, bringing life to your eyes. So who stays?
STACEY-ANN!
Congratulations Stacey-Ann, remember to bring that life and energy you have in person to your photos.
Chantal, *hugs her* I absolutely love your barbie doll look and no doubt you have tons of talent, but ive been consistantly seeing it in your film and photos that you struggle to follow direction, so if you work on that you can become a big name in the industry. Goodluck and goodbye. |

Photoshoot: Future Style
Tyra: Hello final five! Congratulations to all of you for making it this far. This week you ladies will be going to none other than Brazils biggest tourist city, Rio De Janeiro. You girls will be posing in front of the futuristic Contemporary Art Museum for these really interesting futuristic themed photos. I want to get an editorial and futuristic vibe from your photos, think metallics as an idea for styling. Goodluck ladies!

Montana: *Confessional* I was really confused this week. I wasn't really sure what Maryna was looking for, so I just tried to give a bunch of different things and I hope that I at least get one good shot. I kind of based my ideas off of mystery because future itself is a mystery. We don't know what will happen. MontanaMontanaMontanaMontanaMontanaMontanaMontanaMontanaMeaghan: *Confessional* It feels really good to get back to the top of the pack after a couple of off weeks. I need to keep doing well if I want a shot at this. Unfortunately, this week I felt like I was all over the place. I was really confused on what Maryna wanted from me so I just tried to give a beautiful photo and hope that it fits the theme. MeaghanMeaghanMeaghanMeaghanMeaghanMeaghanMeaghanMeaghanMeaghan |

Alisar: *in confessional* Another week down, another girl gone, another step closer to my dream! I feel like I am beginning to fade into the background a bit though, now that all of the fillers have been weeded out and we all fit into our own unique categories. Since Chantal just left, that makes Meghan the only classic blonde left, and then we've got Montana for the youthful doll-like category, Catherine for the unique ethereal category, Stacy-Ann for the quirky yet relateable category, and then me for the edgy exotic category. No more overlap, no more room for mistakes. Though at least I am the only girl left who has never been in the bottom two! PhotoPhotoPhotoPhotoPhotoPhotoCatherine: REALLY?! Oh wow, thank you so very much! *In confessional* I was so, so happy to get called first last week! I feel like the other girls haven't been paying too much attention to me because I got a bottom two appearance so early on, but I immediately shot back up to the top after that and I've been hovering around the top ever since, so it's about time I finally got more recognition. I feel like everyone else is starting to take notice of me, and the good thing about it being so late in the competition is that they can't do anything about it really in terms of sabotaging or intimidating me. PhotoPhotoPhotoPhotoPhotoPhotoStacy-Ann: Oh! Thank you so much for a second chance! *in confessional* I was very disappointed to be in the bottom two, especially because I had just gotten a first call-out so to go from top to bottom so suddenly is terrifying! And the first call-out didn't guarantee my spot either since Duong was eliminated after her FCO, so I was nervous. Hopefully I pulled everything back together this week though!

Meaghan: *Confessional* I'm really nervous for panel this week. I didn't feel really good on my shoot. I was so confused. I actually watched the other girls on set and I'm pretty sure that Alisar will get the first callout. That girl can work a set. She killed it. Montana did alright and she's just so much of a strong girl that I think she'll pull through. I think Catherine did alright. Her usual solid, but not amazing performance. That leaves me and Stacey. I don't think Stacey did very well, but she's a girl that surprises everyone every week. I didn't see her making it this far, but whats saying she won't stay another week. Anyone could go at this point.
Montana: *Confessional* I haven't really spoken much about the competition and since this could be my last week, I thought I would. We are down to five girls and really anyone could take it. Right now, I think it's Alisar's competition to lose. She's done so well week after week and I saw her on set and I got really nervous because she killed it. She is just so strong in every category. I feel like I'm in second right now, but who knows. I have been in the bottom two, but I have bounced back every time and have, for the most part, stayed at the top. Then I think Catherine is probably in third. She's kind of flown under the radar the whole time, but she's really starting to peak and she couldn't peak at a better time. I love Meaghan. She's probably been my best friend since the beginning. We're just both so similar and I really love this girl. That being said, I feel like her inconsistency could be her down fall. She's hit a rough patch recently and I hope she can recover. I feel like Stacey-Ann is probably at the bottom of the pack and is the underdog and I think she knows that. But that is adding fuel to her fire and it could be what she needs to propel forward. Anything can change and one small slip up while someone below you does really well can cost you the competition.

Elimination
Tyra: Hello final five and welcome to this weeks elimination. We are getting so much closer to the end that its getting real intense. There was one girl this week who really went above and beyond..............
ALISAR! The past weeks you have been fading, this was exactly the pick me up that you needed. Congratulations!
MONTANA!
CATHERINE!
Will Meaghan and Stacey-Ann please step forward?
Meaghan, gorgous girl. Classic look. Height, weight, you have everything it takes to be a model. Last week you improved but this week here you are again, I feel like you started out so strong in the beginning but then as the others began to improve your performances became stale in comparison. Stacey-Ann, every week you have such a bubbly personality that just creates sparks on set. You were the opposite of Meaghan, starting out with a weak shot but continuesly improving as the competition went on and delivering some amazing performances, however last week you were in the bottom for a weak photo, and here you are again. Is your improvement ending? So who stays?
NEITHER of you ladies will be staying this week.
*The girls mouths drop in shock*
Meaghan, Stacey-Ann. I feel like these other three girls have all shown they deserve to be in the finale, and you ladies im just not sure are completely at that level. Meaghan, never doubt yourself, you have all it takes so go out there and show them what you got. Stacey-Ann, you can proudly say you have the personality and talent to do well in this business. Ladies, goodbye and goodluck. |

Finale Tasks
1. Covergirl Cosmetics Ad
Your first finale task is an ad for Covergirl cosmetics, you may sell any product of your choice. And remember to either go for their classic commercial look, or for their edgier, but not too edgy look.
2. Harpers Bazaar
As you know the winner will also receive a cover of the next issue of Harpers Bazaar here in the US. Harpers Bazaar US is different because their goal isnt to be super high fashion, their covers focus on the glamour and are fashion forward, but dont go into couture and are often commercial. Their focus is more on relatibility with the consumers. So its about fashion, glamour, but still being sellable to the general public. After these two shoots there will be an elimination.
3. Vogue Italia
Then the final two will shoot their covers for Vogue italia, and 4 spread as well. A theme isnt required, but coherence is key because you want the images to make sense to the viewers. Their editorials are very fashion forward, and can range from soft to intense to even a little sexy, but are always usually very elegant as well. And its all about telling a story.
Since its the finale im not giving the usual 2 day deadline, you have unlimited time. However I will be busy Thursday night so heads up, if you want the winner announcement by Thursday then I would need everything before the afternoon. |

Stacy-Ann: *hugs Meghan* *hugs Tyra* Thank you so, so, so much for this second chance, Tyra! And thank you so much as well for not giving up on me and believing in me enough to get this far. Everyone knows I am a super positive and ambitious person, but to be completely honest I didn't imagine I'd even make it nearly this far so even though I didn't win, I am going to walk away proudly and happily. This won't be the end for me, I'm going to take what I have learned and go out there and see how far I can make it as a model. *hugs all the girls* *skips out smiling and blowing kisses*
*exit confessional* It is unfortunate to be eliminated of course, I really did want to win. However, I'm not going to cry, and I don't even really feel sad because in my heart I know the other three girls deserve it more, and I am just so darn proud I even made it this far! I mean come on now, final 5! I made it overseas! I made it much further than I did on my original cycle of ANTM, and that was my biggest goal coming here so I am so very proud that I achieved that. And so now I walk out with my head held high! *smiles at the camera and leaves*
Alisar: *in confessional* WOW! This week could not have been better! Not only did I destroy everyone at the shoot and earn another FCO, but there was a double elimination as well. I was a bit shocked that both girls went home, I wasn't expecting a double elimination this late in the game. But when they were in the bottom two, I had no idea who would go home since they were very evenly matched. I am glad that they left though, it let me enter the finale in my highest note of the competition! I will miss Stacy-Ann a bit though, she was very entertaining and lively.
Catherine: *in confessional* Oh my goodness, I am in the final 3! I am so very happy to be here! The double elimination was shocking but in a good way because that means we are just that closer to the end, where hopefully I will be crowned the Elite Top Model! However, Alisar and Montana are both very tough competition and both of them won their cycles of top model, so I know I need to work. However, thinking about it, why are they here if they won? This is my third go at it and I still haven't won while they both won first try, it should be my turn!

Meaghan: *her heart drops and she begins to tear up* *hugs Stacey-Ann and Tyra* Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity and I really couldn't ask for more without sounding greedy. It's been so amazing to be here and I will be forever grateful. *walks out holding hands with Stacey-Ann*
*Confessional* Of course I'm sad about not making it to the end because I really really wanted too. I'm more sad about thinking how I won't be able to do all these fun photoshoots and challenges than being eliminated. It's sad to close a door and end a chapter of your life, but as one door closes, another one has to open somewhere. I mean, I won my cycle of CNTM, so I really have had the whole experience, so I'd rather give the other girls who haven't had that experience have it. *producers tell eR that all the remaining girls have made it to the finale before and two of them have already won* what?! Put me back in there! *they tell her they cant* whatever. Go Montana!
Montana: *Confessional* Oh em God. This is so exciting! I'm in the finale! What what! I am sad to see Meaghan go because we've grown really close over the whole competition. I think it would have been cool to see myself, Alisar, and Meaghan in the finale because we all won our cycles and we would have been able to find out who really is the best. It's weird to think that both Alisar and I have won our NTM cycle so one or both of us will lose this time. Neither of us have experienced that and it's scary. If Catherine loses, she probably will be able to take it better than us because she's already lost twice. I just really don't want to lose, but I know Alisar will be my biggest competition.

Montana: *Confessional* It's so weird to be finished with everything. I just did my last shoot for this competition. Like it seems like yesterday I was auditioning. It's so surreal. I really hope I did well. I feel like, of the girls left, my face would probably be the best fit for CoverGirl because it's more classically pretty as opposed to Alisar's and Catherine's which are a little different, but still beautiful in their own way. I felt like Harper's Bazaar was a tougher client to fit, but I feel like I did well. As for Vogue, I feel like I either nailed it, or completely missed the target. I decided to take the more natural route to show that heavy make up isn't needed to be beautiful. I went very natural and I tried to go out of my comfort zone. It's just waiting game now to see what Alisar and Catherine will produce.

Alisar: *in confessional* Well, that's it! I've done everything I can, and now I just wait and see. But I really, really, really hope I win! I won my cycle of GNTM, so let's hope that trend continues! I've worked quite a bit since my cycle; I've shot for countless catalogs and magazines, and I've walked in Berlin, London, and NY fashion weeks...I even walked 19 shows in NY alone last season! But I haven't gotten that huge booking I've been waiting for, so while my career was good already, I think this is my best opportunity to make it amazing. If I win this, I think I can become a true top supermodel.
I think I could win, too. Montana and Catherine are both such beautiful women and very strong models, but I feel like I have proven myself more than them and have shown more consistency and versatility, evident through my lack of bottom 2 appearances. It all comes down to this week, though. I think I did well again, I was a little confused for exactly what Tyra wanted with Harper's Bazaar so I started edgier and went progressively more commercial as the shoot went on. I think Covergirl went fine, and I feel like my Vogue Italia will be just fine as well. Fingers crossed!
Catherine: *in confessional* Coming into the finale, I guess I would say I am the underdog. I haven't exactly thought of myself as an underdog up until now, more of just a dark horse. I've always been above most of the rest of the pack at least, and Meaghan and Stacy-Ann were consistently beneath me, but now that they are gone and it is just Alisar, Montana, and myself, I have realized that with that one dramatic elimination came a shift in power and now I really need to pull through in this finale to win. I think I can do it though, I tried so very hard and I'm just hoping this works out.
If this doesn't work out, I'm not going to give up of course, I'll pursue a career in this no matter what. This is my third modeling competition and I've made it very far in all three, so obviously it takes a lot to get rid of me. But I have not won any yet, so I feel like it should be my turn; Alisar and Montana have already won GNTM and AusNTM, so I feel like it's almost not even fair that they are here. That's just greedy, really, leave some prizes for me! But hopefully I'll be able to pull ahead and actually win this time.
