America's Next Top Model Cycle 8 Episode 1

The Girl Who Won't Stop Talking
Casting




The 33 contestants were sent to Los Angeles, and were immediately thrown into model boot camp. They met Jay Manuel and J. Alexander who tested them with a quick photo shoot and a quiz on fashion-related knowledge. Sarah won the posing challenge as impressed with the Jays. Later that day, they met Tyra.



After the boot camp, the semi-finalists went into a room with Tyra, Jay and Miss J, to tell them about themselves. Returning applicant Jaslene (did not make it to Cycle 7) gave comments about her past. Some memorable auditions included a girl named Micheline, who had at least 20 tattoos on her body, Natasha telling them how she was only 18 when she got married to a man in his forties, and Dionne calling her hair color "1B-30." After the interviews, the field was pared down to twenty contestants. At a party hosted by Marc Ecko, the contestants each had their pictures taken, and the final thirteen were chosen based on these photos.



Callout Order: Natasha Galkina, Kathleen DuJour, Sarah VonderHaar, Cassandra Watson, Renee Alway, Samantha Francis, Dionne Walters, Whitney Cunningham, Brittany Hatch, Felicia Provost, Jael Strauss, Jaslene Gonzalez, & Diana Zalewski


Note: Was disappointed to see Tyra pick more girls with drama than the other girls that had potential. Clearly, there were girls there who I believe could have given beautiful photos should they progress. Too bad this rigged show is more on drama than potential.
