This cycle has been an only major change, judge Paulina Porizkova removed the show after last season and marked the first change in judging panel since Cycle 10. With her removal, only three permanent judges remained, a first for the series.

This cycle also moved back to Los Angeles, after being filmed in New York City for Cycle 12. The cast size once again increased to 14 contestants, with each contestant being 5'7" or shorter. The overseas destination was Maui, Hawaii. Also, this was the only season filmed entirely in the United States.

How Short Can You Go
First aired September 9, 2009

For the first time, contestants under 5'7" are cast. They enter a room where they are supposedly being cast for Le Cycle 13, Fall Collection, but an actor tells them that they are too short, at which point Tyra enters and tells them 'it's time to break the mold'. Soon after they dress in model basics and are given a runway lesson by Miss J and have a face Polaroid taken by Mr. Jay. Then comes castings. Memorable interviews include Courtney revealing she has a broken foot, modeling teacher Alison teaching Miss J her own runway tricks, Lulu stating she is gay within seconds of her entrance and Sundai talking about her abusive childhood. During this time, Amber's personality and Nicole's lack thereof scare their fellow competitors.

20 girls are selected after the first cut and taken to a runway at the end of which they have to strike four poses. Courtney impresses Jay by soldiering on the entire runway instead of just posing. During the review, Tyra notes that many girls are posing in a more sexual than fashion way. Ultimately 14 girls are chosen and Tyra congratulates them for being pioneers.

Special Guest: Bradford Sisk

The Early Bird Gets A Makeover
First aired September 9, 2009

The girls meet on Melrose Avenue and realize that Amber is missing. The Jays arrive in a limo and take them to a salon where it is revealed that Amber withdrew from the competition due to "personal reasons". Lisa, who had been cut in the semi-finals, is replacing her. The Jays also announce that it is makeover time. Most of the girls are satisfied with their looks, except Lisa, who worries that she didn't get much of a change and Bianca, who doesn't like her bleached eyebrows.

Quit: Amber DePace[1]
Replacement: Lisa Ramos
The girls then move into a doll-themed house. On the photo shoot, they are tasked to recreate their baby pictures with a fashion twist. Rae struggles with her 8-inch heels, while Sundai and Lisa worry about their styling. Arriving on set, Bianca seems down and tells Jay she doesn't like her make-up. At panel, Rae, Nicole, Jennifer, Ashley and Bianca are noted for their strong shots, while Brittany is castigated for her overtly sexual film. Kara and Sundai are told they lacked energy and Lisa is told that she looks mean.

Ultimately, Bianca lands in the bottom two because of her lack of professionalism, but it is Lisa's poor performance at the shoot and timid personality that gets her eliminated as the judges feel she is not making the most of her second chance.

First Call-Out: Rae Weisz
Bottom Two: Bianca Richardson & Lisa Ramos
Eliminated: Lisa Ramos
Featured Photographer: Baldomero Fernandez
Special Guests: Chanel Iman, Sally Hershberger

Fortress of Fierceness
First aired September 16, 2009

The girls meet Wilhelmina Models director Sean Patterson and Nigel Barker. Each girl then meets them alone and Lulu loses points with Nigel by mentioning she doesn't pay attention to photographers in editorials while Courtney once again impresses by walking despite her pain. Rachel goes blank when asked about her musical background. After the meetings, Sean shocks the girls by eliminating Rachel in a surprise elimination for her lack of charisma.

Eliminated Outside of Judging Panel: Rachel Echelberger
The girls then meet a rude photographer asking for the perfect shot in one take, which the girls struggle with until Tyra (as Super Smize) arrives and "defeats" him. She then coaches the girls on their "smize" (smiling with their eyes), which gets Jennifer worried because of her eyelid ptosis and directs a challenge where the girls are in full body suits, paired up and pitted against each other to see who has the best smize. The winners (Bianca, Brittany, Courtney, Kara, Laura, & Lulu) go to dinner with Sean Patterson, while the losers wash the dishes.

Next, the girls arrive at Santa Anita Race Track to pose topless with a jockey and a horse. At panel, Erin, Brittany, Laura and Nicole all impress the judges with their shots while Ashley is castigated for over posing and Bianca, despite her resolve not to complain, hints that she didn't like her blonde wig. This lands her in the bottom two again but she is spared for the second time as Courtney is sent home for admitting that being asked to keep her boot hindered her performance, and for self-defeating.

First Call-Out: Erin Wagner
Bottom Two: Bianca Richardson & Courtney Davies
Eliminated: Courtney Davies
Featured Photographer: Firooz Zahedi
Special Guests: Sean Patterson, Lauren Conrad

Make Me Tall
First aired September 23, 2009

The episode starts with Bianca being determined to become softer. Miss J introduced to a 9-year-old runway model named Diva Davanna, the girls get their first runway teach with him, learning to "walk tall" and how to walk with a partner. The challenge later requires them to walk next to models who are 5'10" and above.

Brittany impresses Ann Shoket and wins an editorial for herself, Kara and Laura, angering Ashley and Lulu who had earlier coached Brittany how to walk. Back at the house, Nicole bonds with Bianca as the latter reveals her fear of showing vulnerability due to her abusive past. Ashley and Lulu later warn Nicole that she is being used, upsetting her. Nicole and Brittany then discuss their chagrin, calling Ashley a mean-girl and Lulu her sidekick.

At the photo shoot, Brittany struggles with the fact that the girls are allowed to watch her, while Bianca has to be distracted to look softer. At panel, Kara, Nicole and Erin receive unanimous praise, whereas Brittany, Rae and Laura are castigated for making themselves look shorter. Sundai is praised for her picture but her outfit and lack of presence on the runway do not sit well with Miss J. In the end Brittany survives her first bottom two appearance as Lulu is eliminated for her poor performance at the shoot and uninspiring personality.

First Call-Out: Kara Vincent
Bottom Two: Brittany Markert & Lulu Braithwaite
Eliminated: Lulu Braithwaite
Featured Photographer: Jonathan Mannion
Special Guests: Diva Davanna, Kevan Hall, Yvonne Yue, Ann Shoket, Jaime Rishar
Top Model in Action: McKey Sullivan (Cycle 11)

Take My Photo, Tyra!
First aired September 30, 2009

The girls are taught how to do their own make-up by Sam Fine and each girl is given individual tips. Later they meet Nigel and Crissy Barker for a CoverGirl challenge, where they have to race and do their own styling and make-up through various sessions, with the last girls eliminated at each session. Laura and Kara are the first to be eliminated, followed by Nicole and Jennifer and Brittany and Rae. At the last stop the girls have to pick their pictures from a bin. Erin keeps Ashley's picture until she finds her own, eliminating Ashley. Ultimately Sundai wins to have her picture on Wal-Mart's website and a $1,000 gift from CoverGirl.

On the way to the photo shoot, Bianca and Ashley confront Erin about her behavior at the challenge, making her cry. The girls find Tyra wrapped in scarves and explains that they will be modeling scarves and the best picture will be given immunity at panel. Erin, Rae and Sundai perform well, while Ashley struggles a lot and has to change outfit three times. Meanwhile, Tyra decides to bring in a fan to improve Laura's performance and Jennifer tries screaming. Brittany is deemed the best and is given immunity as well as the opportunity to do a shoot with two male models.

At panel, many girls get good reviews and Jennifer is lauded by Tyra for bringing personality in her shoot, while Kara and Erin were chastised for not bringing any to theirs. Ultimately Ashley lands in the bottom two for her poor performance but Bianca's "hard look" in her pictures (despite looking soft in person) is her undoing.

Immune / First Call-Out: Brittany Markert
Bottom Two: Ashley Howard & Bianca Richardson
Eliminated: Bianca Richardson
Featured Photographer: Tyra Banks
Special Guests: Crissy Barker, China Chow, Sam Fine, Juan Munoz Hortado, Gene Williamson
Top Model in Action: Samantha Francis (Cycle 8)

Dance With Me
First aired October 7, 2009

The girls meet Benny Ninja, who tells them that as models, they must use their bodies as well as their faces to convey emotions. He brings out Lil Mama and Jabbawockeez to teach the girls to dance. The girls then learn that they will perform in groups of three, with masks covering their faces while showing happiness, sadness and anger. Jennifer, Rae and Kara work well together and win $17,000 in jewelry.

The girls are flown to Las Vegas for their shoot. They witness a performance by Jay Manuel and the Cirque du Soleil and learn that they will be posing in teams (Brittany, Jennifer and Rae going first; Erin, Nicole and Sundai second and Ashley, Kara & Laura going last). Jennifer, Kara, Ashley and Nicole get bad reviews, but Jennifer's group saved her as her group was deemed the best photo of the week (thus being jointly called together). The judges were also amazed in Laura and Rae's pictures, but worry about the latter's personality. Kara and Ashley land in the bottom two, both for not pushing through enough, but Kara is given another chance and Ashley, who was lambasted for failing to incorporate her dancer background in her posing, was eliminated.

First Call-Outs: Brittany Markert, Jennifer An & Rae Weisz
Bottom Two: Ashley Howard & Kara Vincent
Eliminated: Ashley Howard
Featured Photographer: Mike Rosenthal
Special Guests: Benny Ninja, Jabbawockeez, Josie Maran, Lil Mama, Rhonda Faber Green
