How did the Civil War & its need for financing forever alter the American economy?

I kinda don't really care.

After the field was narrowed down to 13 girls by the judges, the girls were sent to a runway competition using the clothes from the designers of Elmer Avenue. The contestants had to choose their clothes off the backs of 13 male models, then "feminize" and wear the outfit down the runway. Melrose was chosen as the winner, allowing her the chance to be "Diva for the Day" on the set of their next photo shoot.

At the fashion magazine-inspired house, the contestants were surprised that only 11 beds were available, and maneuvering took place. Monique, who did not get a bed, stole Eugena's and poured water on it, saying it was "pee" in order to ensure nobody tried to take it off her.

The next day, Tyra's dramatic diva appearance kicked off a shoot where the girls were given different model stereotypes to portray as follows:

Model Stereotypes
AJ Casting couch model
Amanda Anorexic model
Anchal Narcissistic model
Brooke Back-stabbing model
CariDee Dumb blonde
Christian Model-turned-actress
Eugena Black girl-turned-white girl
Jaeda Plastic surgery model
Megan Diva model
Megg Drug-addicted model
Melrose $10,000 a day model
Michelle Bulimic model
Monique Cell Phone-throwing model

The judges liked Michelle, CariDee & AJ's photos but questioned Brooke, Jaeda, Christian and Melrose's. The judges felt that Melrose gave a terrible photo from what she "had to work with," pointing out that she looked older than she was in the photo, combined with her bad attitude on set, saw her in the bottom two. Christian, also in the bottom two, was criticized for being "boring," and showing lack of variations in her shots. The judges felt that Christian had less potential than Melrose, therefore sending her home.

First call-out: Michelle Babin
Bottom two: Christian Evans & Melrose Bickerstaff
Eliminated: Christian Evans
Featured photographers: Oliver Bronson, Dylan Don
Special guests: The Aswirl Twins, Collin Pulsipher, Jonny Day, Ward Robinson, Sean Murphy

The Girl Who Hates Her Hair
First aired September 27, 2006

This episode is about makeovers, the girls met with the two Jays at breakfast and they were thought to have a makeover. Instead, the girls returned to the house and Tyra surprised them with flowery new makeovers. While Brooke, Megg, Eugena, Caridee, and Megan embraced their new looks with gratitude, Monique, AJ, Melrose, and Jaeda (who received the most drastic makeover of the day) showed disapproval. Jay Manuel lost his cool after the makeovers were done, saying that some of the attitudes were disrespectful to the salon management.

The challenge this week involved make-up application, speed and presentation. They each raced against the clock to put together their entire look, from make-up to wardrobe, during brief elevator stops on a trip to the top of a skyscraper. Megg and Monique could not make the elevator at various stories, and were eliminated even before the presentation. Eugena was determined the winner by CoverGirl, Queen Latifah and her make-up artist, Roxanna Floyd. Her prize was an exclusive photo shoot for the CoverGirl Web site, which she chose CariDee and Jaeda to share.

Back at the house, Monique took off her frustration of her loss in the challenge by using the phone for more than three and a half hours, upsetting other girls who needed the phone. This was followed by an intense verbal confrontation with Anchal and Amanda who insisted that Monique was disrespecting others and forcefully hung up her call.

The photo shoot involved the girls to shine through quirky, extravagant wigs and hair pieces. Melrose turned the tables and delivered the best shot this week, while Michelle, Amanda, Anchal, and CariDee also did well. However, Jaeda and Megan both landed in the bottom two for poor photos. Even though Jaeda still disliked her hair, Megan was sent home.

First call-out: Melrose Bickerstaff
Bottom two: Jaeda Young & Megan Morris
Eliminated: Megan Morris
Featured photographer: Tracy Bayne
Special guests: Frederic Fekkai, Queen Latifah, Roxanna Floyd, Mr. Little, Lisa B., Weavin' Steven

The Girl Who Goes To Texas
First aired October 4, 2006

J. Alexander prepared the girls with a unique crazy, insane runway exercise from atop a 1/2" wide tight rope. When they got back to the house, Melrose went to use the phone, and Monique barged in and demanded the phone. Melrose then slammed the door on Monique, who retaliated by taking her undergarments off and rubbed them on Melrose's bedsheets. The next day, their runway skills were put to the test in their rockiest challenge yet, with Bre Scullark (Cycle 5) appearing as guest. The contestants were asked to strut across cobblestones in high heels while wearing masks which impaired their vision. The winner of the challenge, AJ, picked CariDee and Megg to jet off to work a star-studded Dennis Quaid Charity Weekend Fashion Show with some past seasons’ contestants in Austin, Texas.

Later, the girls had to rock a catwalk suspended over water, but Monique's dehydration landed her in the hospital. She then went home and did not participate in the photo shoot, but made it to judging. While Eugena was walking on the runway, she fell. At judging, Monique was criticized for not pulling through like models in previous cycles have (specifically Danielle from Cycle 6). In the end, it was Eugena and Monique who landed in the bottom two, both for their inability to translate their beauty into film. Monique was subsequently eliminated for her seeming lack of drive.

First call-out: AJ Stewart
Bottom two: Eugena Washington & Monique Calhoun
Eliminated: Monique Calhoun
Featured photographer: Charlie Altuna
Special guests: Dennis Quaid, Bre Scullark, Emiliano Moreno, Rebecca Epley, Coryn Woitel, April Wilkner, Shannon Stewart, Mercedes Scelba-Shorte, Brittany Brower, Camille McDonald

They have a dinner at the restaurant where Twiggy is awaiting. Melrose told Twiggy that her parents are English. The next day, they learned to show an extreme pose in designer Bao Tranchi's clothing and Erica Courtney jewelry. Eugena was chosen as the winner and won all the jewelry worn during the challenge, totaling $32,000.

The following day, Tyra arrives at the house and they have to talk with them.

CariDee Elephant girl
Eugena Bird lady

At judging, Melrose, AJ and CariDee were hailed for their performances and Jaeda and Megg found themselves in the bottom two, both for their bad photos. In the end, Megg was sent home because of her inability to transfer her personality into a photo.

The Girl Who Punk'd Ashton
First aired October 18, 2006

A red carpet challenge with former judge Janice Dickinson left some of the girls speechless. Melrose won the reward challenge, which gave her a night to interview stars on the red carpet as part of Entertainment Tonight staff.

Back at the house, Michelle revealed that she might be gay or bisexual, to the surprise of her twin sister Amanda, who became noticeably more introverted after hearing this. While talking to Tyra, Amanda revealed that she was scared for her sister. She came to terms with it and accompanied her sister as Michelle called their mother to tell her.

The stars came out at a photo shoot where the contestants were transformed into celebrity couples, which were:

Model Celebrity Couples
AJ Marc Anthony & Jennifer Lopez
Amanda Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore
Anchal Stedman Graham & Oprah Winfrey
Brooke Kevin Federline & Britney Spears
CariDee Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie
Eugena Jay-Z & Beyoncé Knowles
Jaeda Bobby Brown & Whitney Houston
Melrose Donald Trump & Melania Trump
Michelle Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi

During judging, the girls were asked to be impromptu correspondents and give their best commentary of red carpet footage featuring the ANTM judges, during which Brooke shone but AJ let her self-consciousness show through. Brooke's fantastic photo and great performance at the judging test earned her a first call out. CariDee and Melrose also received praise for their overall performance as well.

In the end, AJ and Jaeda were revealed to be in the bottom two, both because the judges weren't sure how much they cared about the competition. The judging concluded in a big shock to the girls when AJ, who had done well consistently throughout the competition, was eliminated. The judges felt that she had just lost her drive to remain in the competition and spared Jaeda for the third time.

First call-out: Brooke Miller
Bottom two: AJ Stewart & Jaeda Young
Eliminated: AJ Stewart
Featured photographer: Matthew Jordan Smith
Special guests: Janice Dickinson, Mark Steines, Matt Czuchry, Ryan Hansen, Jared Padalecki

The Girl Who Graduates
First aired October 25, 2006

Eugena was tired of the things that some of the girls were doing around the house. Brooke sees a box with a present from her parents: Diploma from her high school graduation and decorations. Then, at a surprise photo shoot, Tyra picked up her camera and surprised the contestants in their backyard with a black and white photo shoot where they were asked to look scary with weird contact lenses yet retain their sex appeal. A few girls struggled when burlesque dancer Dita von Teese asked them to get in touch with their sexy side. The contestants were put to the test by walking down the dinner table of Elite Models director Cathy Gould at her dinner party. Melrose won her third challenge and brought Amanda, Michelle, and Brooke for a Seventeen Magazine editorial spread photo shoot as her reward.

To test their new sense about the fine line between 'sexy' and 'sleazy,' Jay Manuel met the contestants for a second photo shoot depicting romance novels with model Fabio.

Each girl had their own romance novel title, as follows:

Model Novel Title
Amanda The Other Woman
Anchal Love Pyramid
Brooke Don't Leave Me!
CariDee But... I Love Her
Eugena Oh No You Didn't!
Jaeda Nibble... In The Night
Melrose Lady Of The Night
Michelle Who's My Baby's Daddy?

At the panel Amanda, Melrose, CariDee, and Anchal were named the best as they all excelled. Despite bad takes from Jaeda and Michelle at the photoshoot with Fabio, Eugena and Brooke were revealed as the bottom two. While the judges were irked at Eugena's mannerisms, they doubted Brooke's potential as a model, and wondered whether she was just getting by on her vibrant personality. In the end, Eugena was saved for the second time and Brooke was ironically eliminated on the night of her high school graduation.

First call-out: Amanda Babin
Bottom two: Brooke Miller & Eugena Washington
Eliminated: Brooke Miller
Featured photographers: Jeffrey Jones, Randee St. Nicholas, Tyra Banks
Special guests: Fabio, Dita von Teese, Kylie Bax, Atoosa Rubenstein, Beau Quillian, Cathy Gould, Elyssa Traub
