Last night's episode of ANTM began with the girls talking about how Ann keeps getting best photo every week, and Ann is really proud of herself. Kacey is having a hard time standing up by herself against the rest of the house, and says to the girls that she wants to get to know them better. She starts a game where each girl must draw a question out of a hat and answer it. Kacey asked Liz what her life was like growing up, and Liz said she wanted to die, because she was pregnant and in a homeless shelter. We also found out that Jane's dad is a pulmonologist and she's never had to struggle for anything, so she finds it hard to relate to a lot of the girls.

 

The girls get a Tyra Mail, which says, "Sometimes you have to go backwards to move forward, Love, Tyra."

 

The next day, Lexie was trying to eat six saltines in one minute as a game. She said that it might seem like she's there for fun, but she really wants to win the competition. The girls headed to the 2nd street tunnel in Los Angeles for a runway show with the same male models from the fallen angels shoot. The girls got to wear Herve Leroux designs and walk on a moving runway. The girl who won the challenge would receive jewelry from Lisa Freede.

 

The fashion show saw almost all of the girls stumble on the runway (Liz swore, and Kendal even lost her shoe!), but Lexie and Kacey managed to pull it off rather well. The best girl, as voted by Ms. Jay, was Kacey, and upon finding out, she screamed very loudly, which annoyed everyone.

 

The next day, Andre Leon Talley shows up at the house with Karolina Kurkova, who came armed with a basket of fruits and vegetables, to talk to the girls about healthy eating. She told the girls that they must be good to their bodies, and said that personality is everything, and that pictures are about a feeling.

 

After this, the girls get a Tyra Mail, which says, "Don't let the competition throw you, Love, Tyra." This was followed by a fight between Kacey and Lexie, because Lexie left her bobby pins on the counter. Liz got involved and got in Kacey's face and asked her to leave. All the other girls agreed with this and wanted her to go away.

 

Next, the girls arrive at a wrestling ring, where they are to pose in high fashion editorial designs alongside the masked Mexican wrestlers of Lucha VA Voom. Notable performances were Ann, who thought she disappointed the photographers and Mr. Jay; Kayla, who really went for it with her shot; Jane, who disappointed Jay with her lack of intention in her posing, and Lexie, whom Jay said could not relay an emotion in a photograph.

 

Next up, panel, with guest judge Karolina Kurkova! Notable girls: Ann, who said she didn't feel good about her photo shoot but delivered an amazing shot; Chris, who was praised for speaking up at the photo shoot and asking if she could jump, delivering a shot that all the judges loved; Jane, whose photo Tyra said looked like porn, and Lexie, whom Tyra said didn't look invested in the competition in her photos.

 

During deliberation, the judges said that Lexie has potential, but wasn't bringing it, that Ann is brilliant and editorial, and that Esther was Karolina Kurkova's favorite.

 

The call outs went as follows: Making history as the only girl on America's Next Top Model who's ever received 4 first call outs at the beginning of the competition was Ann. She was followed by Chris, Chelsea, Kayla, Liz, Esther, Kacey, and Kendal. Jane and Lexie were in the bottom two. Tyra said that both girls had stunning looks. Lexie is vivacious and has personality, but her film looks like she's not invested. The judges said that Jane's pictures were so-so, and that they don't know who she is.

 

The photo was pulled, and Lexie was eliminated.

 

Lexie said she was given the chance but didn't take it and run with, and that she bets Kacey is thrilled that she's gone.

 

 

America's Next Top Model airs Wednesdays at 8/7 on the CW.
