America's Next Top Model Cycle 10 Episode 9

For Those About To Walk, We Salute You

Photo Shoot: Vintage Jet Setters Boarding an Airplane

First Call-out: Anya Kop

Call-out Order: Lauren Utter, Dominique Reighard, Katarzyna Dolinska,
Whitney Thompson, Fatima Siad

Eliminated: Stacy-Ann Fequiere

The girls learned about interview skills from Paulina Porizkova. Later, Lauren cut the tip of her thumb while chopping onions and needed stitches.

This week's challenge required the girls to work a "green" carpet at a 7 Up party and handle themselves well at the party. Anya was praised for her ability to connect with others, and won another nude photo shoot for 7 Up and $10,000 as payment. Back at the house, Stacy Ann confessed that she was jealous of Anya for winning the challenge. Tyra Mail hinted to the girls that they were going abroad, and the girls packed their belongings. They were taken to an airplane-themed photo shoot where Jay told them that they would be portraying a group of jet-setters boarding the airplane, using their suitcases as props. Fatima ran into trouble regarding her travel documentation (since she was not a United States citizen, but a permanent citizen holding a Green Card) and missed the photoshoot because of an appointment the show's producers had made to fix the issue at an unidentified consulate. It was unclear whether this was the Italian consulate or the consular mission of another African nation, since Somalia did not have a government recognized by United States at that time.

After the shoot, the girls were told that judging would take place immediately at the tarmac airplane hangar. It was also revealed that after judging, they would be jet-setting to their abroad location, though Tyra did not reveal where this was. Anya once again gave phenomenal poses, and really stood out in the group. Lauren was highly praised for keeping her face in a right expression, while Katarzyna was praised for looking different than the other girls. Whitney was criticized for being too "pageant," though Mr. Jay gave her credit for working hard on set. Stacy Ann was lambasted for not knowing her angles.

In the end, Fatima landed in the bottom two with Stacy Ann. Fatima was severely reprimanded for missing the photoshoot, and Stacy Ann for her overall potential. Fatima was ultimately saved by her better and improving portfolio. This made Fatima the second girl in ANTM history to miss a photo shoot and not get eliminated, after Shannon Stewart of Cycle 1. Fatima is also the first girl ever in ANTM history to miss a photo shoot and be kept over someone who had taken a photo shoot.

After elimination, Tyra announced that the remaining six girls would go to Rome, Italy for the rest of the competition.
