America's Next Top Model

hirty-three aspiring models board a Caribbean cruise ship and are immediately greeted by their cruise director, J. Alexander. Tyra surprises the girls with a lounge singing performance, and the competition gets tough as strong personalities rise and the catfights begin.

Jay Manuel meets the models and introduces them to their new "green" form of transportation. The models move into their environmentally friendly Los Angeles mansion and get a lesson of style from J.Alexander.

J. Alexander shocks the girls with a scary lesson on perfecting their runway walk while wearing straightjackets.

Tyra gives the girls a sneak peak at their makeovers at a Beverly Hills salon. Most of the models get dramatic makeovers, but one is driven to the breaking point when she has to cut off all her hair.

Benny Ninja gives the girls a lesson on how to pose with movement. The models must pose in the air while jumping on a trampoline, some girls rise while others flop.

Male model Tyson Beckford surprises the models at the house and gives them a lesson on being a spokesperson. Most pull off an impromptu sales pitch for their teacher, but a few have a hard time concentrating on their task.

With the finale only six weeks away, never-before-seen footage includes Bianca's confrontations with Chantal and Ebony, and Jenah chips her tooth.

Tyra surprises the girls and gives them an in-depth lesson about how to model in front of a moving camera. One model continues to get jealous and be very critical of her competition.

The models go to FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising) and are paired with a student designer to be their creative muse to design a dress.

When the models arrive in China they are introduced to their new penthouse suite, and one model who is left without a place to sleep becomes very upset.

The remaining five models are sent on designer go-sees in Shanghai. Some girls get the designers' praise while others do not impress and one model loses her way.

The girls learn some Chinese history from J. Alexander and Twiggy and move into their new Beijing home. During a shopping challenge the models must change a traditional Chinese dress into their own style by purchasing accessories at a local mall.

The final three use all things they've learned up to this point in the competition for the penultimate shoot; a commercial and national print ad for Cover Girl.
