The Girls Who Made It This Far
First aired November 1, 2006

This episode recapped the process that the seven remaining models, including some never-before-seen footage.

One such scene was during the very first hour the girls entered the house, when they met their wardrobe stylist Charlie Altuna and makeup artist Sutan, who had with them a "Fashion Trash" bin, and confiscated whatever of the girls’ clothing they deemed "unfashionable." However, after this abrupt event, the girls were brought to Skyla where they had five minutes to shop for “fashionable top model” clothing.

Footage included a catfight between Amanda and Monique, who went on a rampage and threw away almost every other foodstuff in the house into the garbage when Monique found out that her Doritos were eaten. Amanda then ran provocatively around the house opening every other closet that contained any remains of food, all the while shouting, "there's food there!"

Finally, the girls met with yoga instructor Shirley Archer for a relaxing time of meditation, and Jaeda impersonated Tyra at eliminations while all the contestants were in a dressing room. Right before announcing who was "going home," CariDee unexpectedly passed gas, which stopped all the girls and caused them to laugh.

Special guests: Charlie Altuna, Sutan, Shirley Archer, Frederic Fekkai

LIVING have advertised Britain's Next Top Model under the slogan "when it comes to top models, it takes one to find one" heavily from June 1, 2010, advertising the new host Elle Macpherson. Also with an increased budget Cycle 6 claims to be "bigger, better and more high-fashion than ever before." It was confirmed on the June 18 that series 6 will finish with a 90 minute live finale, where the public will get to choose the winner. Mark Sammon, head of commissioning for Virgin Media TV, said updating the format would give a shot-in-the-arm to the series.

“Living’s audience never shies from telling us what they think, so I can’t think of a more discerning panel of judges to finally decide who truly deserves to be Britain’s Next Top Model,” said Sammon.[2]

Judges

This cycle will see major changes in the show. While Macpherson takes over hosting duties and becomes the new executive producer, three new judges will be joining her, fashion designer Julien MacDonald OBE, Vogue's fashion stylist of the year Grace Woodward, and model Charley Speed.

Contestants

This series will also feature a boot-camp stage, with 25 semi-finalists starting the competition in the cycle premiere, the largest amount of girls that the show has started with. Girls will be eliminated in the first episode, and the number of finalists will be reduced and the rest will move into the Britain's Next Top Model Mansion, in London.

Like Cycle 5, the public could choose one girl out of four to make the final 25 who could then make it to the final 14/13. On February 11, 20-year-old Emma Williams won the vote and became part of the final 25, but ultimately did not progress to the Top Model house.

International Destination

There will be three international destinations this cycle; Spain, Norway and Malaysia.

In episode 6, the remaining 9 girls traveled to Spain. Then, in episode 8, the remaining 7 girls went to Norway. Finally, in episode 11, the 5 remaining girls traveled to Malaysia.

The Girl Who Wrecks the Car
First aired November 8, 2006

The next day, the contestants headed to the beach where they met pro athlete and model Gabrielle Reece where she taught the girls the art of action modeling while they bumped, set and spiked to beach volleyball.

The girls got even more physical with NASCAR driver Stanton Barrett for a competition where they had to take their own shots using a remote controlled camera. Although accidentally denting Stanton's car, Michelle won the challenge and picked Amanda, CariDee, and Melrose to share her reward. Unknown to them, there was a reward challenge within the challenge, where the four girls had to act fast and don as many pieces of clothing within 30 seconds. Melrose won the prize of $10,000 worth of clothing and jewelry.

Back at the house, the tension between Anchal and Melrose reached a boiling point when Melrose accused Anchal of being childish and disrespectful to others, causing a visibly affected Anchal to retreat to her room.

For the week's photo shoot, the girls received their first Covergirl assignment, shooting for TruBlend whipped foundation, modeling as space-sirens. They flew at a skydiving training facility, where many contestants had difficulty expressing grace inside the wind tunnel.

During judging, the girls had to act out a scene derived from a verb and adverb randomly drawn from a box as follows:

Model Verb and Adverb
Eugena Shake Flirtatiously
Amanda Ski Sadly
Michelle Swim Frighteningly
Melrose Box Joyfully
CariDee Hide Dizzily
Anchal Dance Aggressively
Jaeda Skip Sensually

CariDee, Melrose, and Eugena all excelled while the others did not impress. Despite some of the worst photos from Eugena & Jaeda, Michelle & Anchal were in the bottom two, both due to their apparent lack of drive, though the judges had previously praised their photos and overall portfolios. Although Tyra praised Anchal's natural beauty, her lack of self confidence held her back, and she was eliminated.

The Girl Who Breaks Down
First aired November 15, 2006

The girls met with acting coach Tasha Smith at the Los Angeles Repertory Company for acting lessons, and all took turns performing exercises to learn how to break down their physical boundaries. Each girl then shot their own silent film, acting out the direction given to them. After an emotional day, CariDee was chosen as the winner, earning her a guest spot on The CW’s One Tree Hill. The girls then viewed CariDee’s winning silent film, and Tyra surprised them with a trip to Barcelona, Spain.

Once the girls landed in Barcelona, they were happily surprised when their driver made several stops along the way to pick up male models who would be part of their next challenge. Together, they went to dinner at a traditional Spanish restaurant, where they learned they would shoot a commercial the next day in the Catalan language. Tensions rose between Jaeda and her male model Nacho after he told her he did not like black women.

The following day the girls shot a Secret deodorant commercial, where they had to kiss their male model at the end. Most of the girls struggled with their lines and the pressure to perform in another language.

Melrose was praised by the judges as giving the best performance - much to the dislike of Eugena, and Michelle was criticized for her terrible kiss. However, CariDee, who had previously been favored by the judges, gave one of the worst commercials.

CariDee landed in the bottom two with Jaeda. The judges deemed Jaeda as the weakest girl, overall as well as with her commercial, and despite giving her several chances, Jaeda gave them no reasons to continue keeping her in the competition, eliminating her.

First call-out: Melrose Bickerstaff

The Girl Who Sticks Her Foot In Her Mouth
First aired November 22, 2006

Shaken from her near elimination, CariDee struggled to rebound from an off week. In order to relieve some anxiety, the girls invited their Spanish models from their last commercial shoot over for dinner.

The next day, Tyra visited the girls and had a sit down talk about the harsh reality's of the modeling industry, before the girls met up with Pancho Saula, the director of Elite Barcelona, who has set up 10 go-sees for them to attend all around the city. Eugena and CariDee teamed up, as did the twins, while Melrose decided to hit the streets alone, a strategy that seemed to pay off as she managed to attend the most number of auditions. When the twins got lost, they arrived late, they ended up disqualifying themselves. Melrose won her fourth reward challenge, and she chose CariDee to share in her reward — a catered dinner at their apartment.

For this week’s photo shoot, the girls arrived at the bull-fighting arena and met their photographer, Nigel Barker. CariDee made a crude joke to Nigel, which was edited for him to appear offended, however according to CariDee in an Entertainment Weekly online interview, he actually recognized her humor and joked along with her.

At panel, the girls were asked to tell the judges who they felt had the most and least amount of potential. Michelle’s insecurities finally overwhelmed her as she broke down in front of the judges, conflicted by her doubts of whether she really wanted to be a model. Eugena impressed the judges by confessing that she started so weakly in the contest, stating that a "journey" took place. Caridee then tearfully gave an apology letter to Nigel after her offensive conversation with him.

During deliberation, the judges were torn between the lackluster photos of Amanda and CariDee, but Michelle’s identity crisis made them question whether Michelle was sacrificing her place for her sister. Consequentially, the twins landed in the bottom two, where Tyra noted that Amanda had the drive but her sister's portfolio was stronger, and Michelle who had natural talent but lacked self-confidence. But it was Amanda's drive that won the judges over as her sister was sent home.

The Girl Who Grates
First aired November 29, 2006

The girls traveled to a dance studio where they met flamenco dancer Nacho Blancho, who taught them the steps of the traditional Spanish dance. While Eugena breezed through the practice, Amanda's awkwardness became apparent.

Later that night, the girls shared a dinner with runway coach and judge Miss J. Alexander, before returning to their apartment to rehearse their dance steps. CariDee and Eugena repeatedly expressed their disdain for Melrose and wished for the two of them to be the Final Two. The next morning, the girls arrived at a majestic Spanish villa for their flamenco dance test, decked out in full flamenco attire. Melrose, who didn't practice earlier and said she would shine, was the only girl who made a mistake. Nacho was impressed by Amanda’s improvement but crowned Eugena the winner, who picked Amanda to share in her prize, which turned out to be three presents bearing clothes worn at the Custo Barcelona Fall 2006 collection. Melrose then got upset because she didn't do as well as she expected to.

For the photo shoot, the girls met with Jay Manuel who brought out Tyra to assist. The girls were paired up — Eugena and Melrose, Amanda and CariDee — to pose as nymphs floating underwater. While Melrose shone in the freezing water, Eugena delivered many blank shots and was unable to stay afloat. CariDee had to be pulled out from the icy water prematurely when she got hypothermia and started shivering uncontrollably. She was later scolded for not speaking up and "listening to her body." Amanda had to finish the rest of the 50 frames left in the shoot by herself.

At panel, the judges warned Eugena about her bland expressions, and still had reservations about Amanda’s stiffness and awkward posing. Though she was praised for not allowing her coldness to show on her face in the photo shoot, CariDee found herself in the bottom two with Amanda; Amanda's look was edgy and high-fashion, but the judges worried if she was overly awkward and meek, while CariDee's look was classic, but may not be able to take the physical demands of being a model. Tyra ultimately handed the last photo to Caridee, who told her to conquer her weaknesses, while Amanda, the other Babin twin, was sent packing.

The Girl Who Becomes America's Next Top Model
First aired December 6, 2006

The final three met Jay Manuel to shoot their commercial for CoverGirl Outlast Double Lip Shine, where they met last cycle's winner Danielle Evans. First up was CariDee, whose natural enthusiasm shone through. While Eugena once again started off with bland takes, she finally turned on the charm for a great delivery, while Melrose struggled with her being over-prepared. During their CoverGirl print ad shoot, CariDee once again shone with her blissful look and strong picture and commercial, as well as her strong portfolio, while Eugena delivered some passionate shots. Melrose, affected by her earlier performance, stumbled in her shoot.

The judges believe that Melrose has failed to live up to her past performances, and Eugena's passion was still questioned. Ultimately, Melrose joined CariDee as the final two as Eugena was sent home.

First call-out: CariDee English
Bottom two: Eugena Washington & Melrose Bickerstaff
Eliminated: Eugena Washington
Featured photographer: Jim De Yonker
In preparation for the final runway challenge, Tyra set up a sit-down talk with life coach Dr. Michelle. Next, the final two met Jay Manuel at their final runway, where they had to play ghostly brides in wedding gowns designed by Victorio & Lucchino. The final show would be set in Antoni Gaudí's world famous Park Güell.

As night fell on Barcelona, Danielle began the show while Melrose and CariDee kicked off their catwalk face-off. The second walk required the girls to stop and stare down each other halfway down the runway. A minor disaster occurred when CariDee accidentally stepped on Melrose's train and ripped it in the middle of the runway. After a brief moment of shock, Melrose recovered quickly and continued her walk confidently. However, drama began to stir at the changing room as Melrose blamed CariDee for the torn gown. The final segment began with Jay Alexander dressed in a black wedding gown running out on the catwalk, screaming theatrically, and the girls followed suit, with CariDee overdoing it. The show ended off with CariDee and Melrose's final walk at the runway, together with their last face-off pose before "disappearing" from the runway.

Back in the judging room (with Jay Manuel present as judge), the judges were torn because Caridee had a strong CoverGirl photo, but performed poorly in the fashon show; while Melrose did worse in the Covergirl shoot, but excelled in the fashion show. The judges appreciated Melrose's fashion knowledge and persistence to win the competition, but she came off as too clinical. Meanwhile CariDee was lambasted for her sometimes too loud personality, although she had the much sought after "X-Factor."

The girls returned and Tyra announced CariDee as the seventh winner of America's Next Top Model, the first ever natural blonde to win.

Final two: CariDee English & Melrose Bickerstaff

The Girl Who Doesn't Want to Climb the Mountain of AP Weekend Homework
First aired November 12, 2010

Catherine received her report card to find out that she got all A's and while her friends were jealous she knew she'd only get a "business as usual" response from her stepdad. She also got into NHS and knew she'd only get the same response from her stepdad, along with a laundry list of all the academic things she's hasn't gotten around to yet, such as scholarships.

As the day progresses, she becomes bogged down with more and more homework, ranging from AP Lang bookwork to a Marine Biology test review. She also has to outline an essay for APUSH due Monday and can't go to her dad's house until she gets everything done. She has to mop the floors too, and really should get that done instead of typing this nonsense.
