Yep, you guessed it! It's the finale finally! The first Tyra Mail was the lines for their covergirl comercial. They went to their location and Mr. Jay was standing behind them. He told them that the winner's picture would be in Walmart stores across America, and have a billboard in Times Square. He asked what it would be like to have that kind of exposure. Then Whitney Thompson, cycle 10 winner appeared! She told them that at the end of their commercial, they would have to kiss someone. They started shooting the commercial. Samantha was OK. McKey was good. Analeigh couldn't remember her lines. Next they went to the photo shoot for Covergirl. The photographer was someone who has been around Top Model for a long time, Jim De Yonker. Everybody did a good job. The next day was panel. The guest judge and the designer for the final 2 fashion show was (WOW!) Addy Vandenkrommenacker. Samantha's smile was not a modelesque smile. Analeigh's comercial was painful. McKey's comercial was better than her first one. Analeigh :( was sent home. After panel, McKey and Samantha drove up to their Seventeen Magazine photoshoot and (what a surprise!) Ann Shoket the editor-in-chief of seventeen was there. McKey was excited to be in the top two. Both of them impressed Ann. She thought it would be a tough deliberation after panel. They drove up to their runway show. Samantha thought the runway looked like Candyland because it was zigzagging everywhere and looked like a board game. She thought it would be the best runway show in the history of Top Model. The judges took their seats. Samantha said if she didn't have a running start up the hills, she could have fallen. McKey said that she knows she's not the strongest walker ever. At panel, Tyra said McKey not only served her dress but she also served her face. Tyra also said she saw some worry in Sam's mouth. Nigel said neither of their "voting" photos from week 1 were fantastic, but they still showed potential. Paulina said both of the swimsuit photos from week 3 were great. Nigel liked the clipper ship photoshoot, which was the first photoshoot overseas. He said McKey's shot was her best to date and that Samantha was good, but not great. The clean/dramatic photoshoot was great for both of them. America's Next Top Model was McKey.

It's week 11. The Tyra Mail said ' A model who knows how to sell makes the most sence'. They drove up to their challenge. Paulina was there surrounded by tables. She said sometimes models have to sell things without speaking. McKey was very modelesque. Marjorie's emotions told every story. Analeigh wasn't aware of the camera. Samantha was great. They drove to their actual challenge. Paulina was there too. They found out they would be acting out a love scene without talking. Samantha said kissing him together "kiss" was weird. Everyone was great. The winner was Marjorie. She picked Analeigh to share a shopping spree with her. After the shopping spree, they went back home and asked some men to spend time with them. Marjorie went into the hot tub with one of them and Analeigh thought it was a bad idea. All of the men left after that. They drove up to their photoshoot. It was posing in front of a windmill while having crazy hair. Analeigh was great. Marjorie was awkward in a good way. Samantha was bad until the last 7 frames. McKey was creative. Best photo was Analeigh. Marjorie was sent home.
It's week 10. Analeigh said the girls in the house don't see her as their competition and think she's just a pretty girl. Marjorie thinks Elina has been giving the same face over and over and over. Sam was really happy to be in the top 5. The Tyra Mail said 'You have to be more than good looking if you want the first booking'. It was the go-see challenge. Pearl Macnack was at the go-see location along with Frederick Koster. Pearl told them the 5 designers they would see would evaluate their portfolio, runway walk, appearance and personality. Samantha's first designer thought she was to comercial. McKey's first designer thought she was beautiful. Samantha couldn't pronounce the names of the cities in Amsterdam. She thought it was Hoggenloggenmoggenspoggaburg. Analeigh's first designer wanted persinality but still high fashion. Elina's first designer thought she was playing a model and wasn't really a model. Marjorie couldn't find her first go-see so she just went on to go-see number 2. Her first designer didn't think she was comfortable in her body. Elina's second designer, who was the same as Marjorie's first designer, didn't book her because of her tattoos. McKey's second designer thought she was beautiful. Marjorie's other designers didn't want to book her so she just decided to go back to the start. McKey was the only one who didn't make it back in time :(. The winner of the challenge was Analeigh. They drove up to their photoshoot and Samantha was hoping that if it wasn't a nude shoot then it was very couture nude not.......'HI I'M NUDE!' The photoshoot was two shoots: Plain and CRAZY! Samantha was amazing. Tyra said WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Marjorie did better in her second shot than in her first shot. Elina got nervous right when Tyra picked up her camera. McKey was great. At panel, Nigel thought Analeigh looked like a campain in her first shot. Best photo was Samantha. Elina was sent home.

It's week 9. The girls packed up to go overseas to Amsterdam! McKey said that she is at a point where she wants to get called first because she is always in the middle. Sheena said she started the competition too sexy but it has taught her to be more modelesque. They drove through Holland and Daphne Deckers, the host of Holland's Next Top Model, was standing there. She told them to pick a partner. The teams were Analeigh and Marjorie (the name of my new barbie), Elina and Samantha and Sheena and McKey. Their task was to buy a train ticket to American Central then once of the train find any public phone for instructions then find Dam Centrum then find a pay phone to get an address to the house they were supposed to find then take a cab to the house (which made it turn into Amazing Race). The first team to arrive was Elina and Samantha. Their prize was 25 extra frames in the next photoshoot. 2nd was Marjorie and Analeigh. 3rd was Sheena and McKey. Analeigh was greeted by her covergirl comercial. The Tyra Mail (as Sheena said back to old school) said 'People used to come to play, but fashion makes it hot today'. Sheena thought they would be going to a park. McKey said if Sheena or Samantha went home she was going to die because she didn't relate to the other 3 at all. Elina said she would love to live in the house permanantly. They drove up to the second challenge. Sheena said she was going to try to turn down the hoochy/sexy knob. Ms. J was standing there with Carlo Wijnands. J told them that they would be paired up in teams again. The teams this time were Sheena and Marjorie, Analeigh and Elina and McKey and Samantha. J told them to go meet their designers. Then they started posing in the windows of the designer's studio. Analeigh said she kept on getting caught on all these silver thingies. Carlo liked McKey's poses. To J, Marjorie was absolutely fantastic. The winners were Samantha and McKey. Next, they drove up to their photoshoot, which was hanging on to ropes from a sailboat which was moving. McKey was great. Samantha said the fact she got 25 extra frames was 'HALLELUYA!' and she was a model. Sheena was hoochy. Elina was really into what she was doing. Analeigh was a model. Marjorie was better after Jay gave her a critique. The best photo was McKey. Sheena was sent home.

It's week 8. Sheena said the judges didn't think she's modelesque. Elina said the judges didn't think she let go the past week. Samantha asked Elina and Marjorie if they had a couple years to adapt to american style since Elina and Marjorie are both European and Elina thought it was hurtful. The first Tyra Mail said 'Work it, sell it, own it!' They drove up to their challenge and saw Ron and Richard Harris. They had clothing for all the girls to sell. They said Joslyn showed the versitillity of her bag. She knew a challenge was about to follow. They walked into a room and there was someone in a green body suit with a dress on. Then they looked at a computer and all they saw were the clothes he/she had on, because the computer made everything green disappear. It was James St. James. He said they had just seen a preview of their next challenge. They would all be walking down the runway wearing the green suit and designs by Nony Tochterman. They all put on the clothing and then saw Ann Shoket, the editor-in-cheif of Seventeen Magazine. Elina said she couldn't breathe with the green suit over her face. But then the music started playing and she started dancing and she said it felt really good after that. Marjorie's dress fell down and she didn't even know until she went backstage and Joslyn told her. The winner of the challenge was Elina. They drove home and the Tyra Mail made them think that they would be doing a comercial. Cycle 10 winner Whitney Thompson was there at their next location. She said they would be doing a comercial for the new Eye Enhanser Blast Collection Shadows. Jay said Samantha brought her genuine energy and he loved it. Jay thought Elina was still too controlled. Analeigh was believable. The challenge, at judging, was working in wooden clogs. Tyra said it's so important to work wooden clogs because 6 of them would be going overseas to Amsterdam. The best comercial was Analeigh and Joslyn was sent home.

It's week 7, the recap episode. Nikeysha was rapping about the show while in the pool with everyone else. Then, back inside, it was out and out war between Isis and Brittany, but Isis said they are really good friends. McKey was cooking food for everyone. The photoshoot that week was hanging from a hot-air-balloon ladder. Isis and Nikeysha were the bottom 2 and Nikeysha was eliminated. After her elimination, they went back home to discover a 'surprise' which was Tyra in their living room. She was talking about her carrear but got 'interupted' by the 'evil feirce witch (Ms. J)'. What you didn't see was Sheena's struggle at the makeover. They started getting into the color and then she felt a burn and she turned around and saw a patch of her hair lying on the counter. By the end of the day she liked it. Another thing you didn't see was Elina's hair took on a life of it's own. Elina called it her cat and named her Sherry. Hannah said that Sherry was annoying to Elina because she's so heavy. The photoshoot that week was swimsuits by Susan Holmes. Elina and McKey impressed their photographer, Russell James. Brittany was sent home. The next episode was the runway challenge, which had tons of surprises. They were blindfolded and one of the girls had to go home that night. Despite the blindfold, most of the girls did great at the show. But Hannah and Samantha had a hard time and Hannah was sent home. When they got back, Elina said she thought Isis looked like a possessed hyena. The photoshoot was smiling with their eyes while shooting from the nose up. Clark finally stepped up her game and Jay thought she was flirting with the photographer, Nigel Barker, who is also a judge for ANTM. Isis was sent home. When an uninvited guest showed up at the house, the result was unBEEleivable (it was a bee). McKey took it outside after the others TRIED to kill it. She put some water out for it because it had passed out. The photoshoot was natural L.A. disasters. Samantha had to be a tidal wave and literally created a wall of water. McKey was a heat wave and also did great. Joslyn and Clark had some tough moments at their photoshoot while trying to portray a rockslide and a blackout. Clark, despite her winning photo the previous week, was sent home. Elina was upset because Clark was her best friend in the house. Samantha said she wanted to slap Analeigh and Marjorie because they spend almost every second together. Analeigh and Marjorie had no trouble portraying an interviewer with an attitude and someone who wants to go to the bathroom but can't get out of her gown at the photoshoot. Lauren Brie had a hard time when she was supposed to pretend to fall down the stairs and was sent home. Now only 7 girls remain, Marjorie, Sheena, Elina, Samantha, Analeigh, Joslyn, and McKey.

It's week 6. Lauren Brie said last week the judges didn't see her personality. Sheena said she isn't an exciting girl. The girls don't think Analeigh looks like a model. The girls drove up to their challenge. They walked into a room and there was Tyra getting her pictures taken. She said that the girls would take 10 shots then go on the computer to see what they had done and then do it again. First was Analeigh. Her signature pose was her legs. Next was McKey. Her signature pose was over the shoulder. Next was Samantha. Her signature pose was her hands. Next was Lauren Brie (has eyes like me). Her signature pose was being awkward. Next was Sheena. Her signature pose was a cultural dance. Next was Joslyn. Her signature pose was posing wide. Elina was next. Her signature pose was Top Model Of The World. Last was Marjorie. Her signature pose was Hunchback of Notre Dame. The winner was Marjorie. She picked Analeigh to share her prize. The photoshoot was embarrassing moments from the Fiercey Awards. Marjorie had to pose while on the toilet. She literally had to pee. Samantha was the woman who was trying to read cue cards but was blinded by the lights. Elina was the girl who couldn't stop crying. Lauren Brie was the girl who tripped on the stairs. McKey was the girl who thought she was going to win but didn't. Sheena was the girl who got her dress stepped on. Joslyn was the girl who noticed another girl in her same dress. Analeigh was the interviewer with an attitude. The best photo was Marj0rie. Lauren Brie was sent home.
