America's Next Top Model Cycle 7 Episode 1

The Girl Who Marks Her Territory
Casting


This season premiere was a special two-hour episode. The 33 semi-finalists started at Los Angeles International Airport and they met with J. Alexander and Jay Manuel. Their task was to shoot a photo above the runway. Later, the girls met Tyra and the Aswirl twins (runway challenge–Cycle 6) and they started off with the auditions. A girl named Cyndel, who referred to herself as an entertainer and told the judges that she worked at a strip club said she considered that stripping "was another part of modeling." Anchal also stood out, principally because of her blue contacts. When asked why she had them in, she said that in India, they found girls with lighter eyes more beautiful. The 33 "semi-finalists" were reduced to 21 girls who would go onto the next round.



Nude Photo Shoot

The 21 girls participated in a nude photo shoot, of which the more conservative girls struggled between their ambition and upbringing. This episode also introduced Jaslene Gonzalez, who failed to make the final cut down to 13. (Jaslene would audition again in the following season, which she won.) Also, these pictures were used and shown (heads only) in this opening.













Order of Call-out:
