Last night's ANTM all stars, began with all the girls congratulating Lisa for getting best photo, while Lisa pointed out that the girls with the biggest personalities were getting sent home first. Allison expressed that she was more nervous this time around and doesn't feel comfortable with herself, and Isis said that she's here to win this time. If only...

 

The morning after elimination, the girls got a surprise visit from reality star Kristin Cavallari. Kristin said that the girls would always have haters, but it's important to be true to who you are. She said she was "the bitch" on the hills, and a lot of good things came out of that for her. The girls asked her questions about maintaining career longevity and seemed impressed with her.

 

Then the girls got a Tyra Mail which said, "Having all the right answers will save you from an uncertain fate." The challenge took place at the Grove, with Extra's Mario Lopez interviewing the girls to determine how they'd answer the tough questions. They were split up into two teams - Team 1 was Lisa, Laura, Alexandria, Isis, Dominique, and Angelea; team 2 was Bianca, Kayla, Bre, Camille, Shannon, and Allison. The team who did the best in the challenge would be safe from elimination, so there was a lot up for grabs!

 

Team 1 went first; Isis was asked about her former life as a man, and she said that she's comfortable talking about it, but she's focused on her goals. Angelea was asked if having too much flavor would hurt her, and she said that you always want people talking about you. A fan asked Alex what made her feel like she had to put on such a tough exterior, and Alex said that she didn't want to be walked on. Lisa was talking over people the whole time, and hi-fiving them for their answers, which didn't sit well with Nigel. Nigel also told Angelea that she was too conservative in her interview, and that made her angry. More on that in a moment.

 

Team 2's interviews went much better, though Bianca talked about word vomit a bit too much. Allison said that modeling made her a more well-rounded person, and when a fan asked Kayla about her discomfort with modeling with men, Kayla said that she'd moved past it and had been set free. Camille was asked about her future plans, and she said that she wanted to be involved in the world of fashion in some way. Nigel chastised Bianca for being too open, Kayla was lauded as a role model, and Allison was recognized for speaking her mind.

 

Team 2 won the challenge, and Allison was the ultimate winner, winning an actual interview that would air on Extra. After it was over, Angelea was really upset and said that you're supposed to be professional in an interview, and that if they want someone "hood", they'd get someone hood. A great sound byte: "I know how to be professional - I used to work at a bank! You think I talked like this at the bank?!" Priceless.

 

Back at the house, the Tyra Mail read, "My what long legs you have!" The girls thought they'd be working with bugs, but when they arrived at Siren Studios the next day, they discovered that they'd actually be modeling on stilts! Each girl was paired up - one from the winning team and one from the losing team.

 

Dominique and Kayla did a good job, but Jay said they could have reacted to each other more. Camille and Isis were up next, and Camille said that she had to do a good job because how could a transgender do better than "an actual real woman"? Ouch! So not cool. They had a not-so-great shoot, and when Isis was dancing around afterwards, Jay said that she should have done that during the shoot.

 

Lisa and Bianca were next, and though Bianca was really afraid of heights, they ended up having a decent shoot, though Jay said that Bianca didn't deliver. When Angelea and Allison were up, Allison smoked her! Bre and Laura turned out a gorgeous photo, and Shannon and Alex did well too, except that Alex kept falling and Shannon gave us yet another lesson about the difference between a bathing suit bottom and underwear.

 

Judging time! This week's guest judge was Kristin Cavallari. The judges loved Alex's and Shannon's shot, and when Angelea and Allison approached, Angelea addressed Nigel about what he said at the challenge, and he was impressed that she had the nerve to ask him about it. Allison did a "booty tooch" in her shot and Angelea didn't. Tyra said, "Do you know what a booty tooch is? It's when you tooch your booty!" The woman has such a flair for explanation - how could you NOT understand her?

 

Dominique and Kayla did okay, Isis and Camille didn't blow anyone away, and Laura and Bre pulled off a great shot. Lisa and Bianca were also great.

 

After deliberations, the top 6 girls from the safe group were called, followed by the remaining 6 who were unsafe. Here's how it went down:
1. Allison
2. Bianca
3. Shannon
4. Bre
5. Kayla
6. Camille
7. Alexandria
8. Lisa
9. Laura
10. Dominique

 

Angelea and Isis were left in the bottom two - Isis' photo wasn't so great, and Tyra said that it seemed to be getting worse as the competition went on. Angelea didn't have a great photo either, and the judges were worried that she would continue to not take notes from them. Angelea was spared, and Isis was eliminated.

 

Tyra told Isis that she's gotta show the world that 15 minutes is not just 15 minutes. Isis was shocked that she was eliminated, and felt that she had a lot to offer. She said that she'll continue to do appearances and she'll leave the competition with an impact on the girls, and hopefully on the world.
