Episode 13 Part 2: The Girl Who Becomes America's Next Top Model
Winner of America's Next Top Model Cycle 7
| CariDee and Tyra Banks |
Final Runway
The Big Reveal
In preparation for the final runway challenge, Tyra set up a sit-down talk with life coach Dr. Michelle. Next, the final two met Jay Manuel at their final runway, where they had to play ghostly brides in wedding gowns designed by Victorio & Lucchino. The final show would be set in Antoni Gaudí's world famous Park Güell.
As night fell on Barcelona, Danielle began the show while Melrose and CariDee kicked off their catwalk face-off. The second walk required the girls to stop and stare down each other halfway down the runway. A minor disaster occurred when CariDee accidentally stepped on Melrose's train and ripped it in the middle of the runway. After a brief moment of shock, Melrose recovered quickly and continued her walk confidently. However, drama began to stir at the changing room as Melrose blamed CariDee for the torn gown. The final segment began with Jay Alexander dressed in a black wedding gown running out on the catwalk, screaming theatrically, and the girls followed suit, with CariDee overdoing it. The show ended off with CariDee and Melrose's final walk at the runway, together with their last face-off pose before "disappearing" from the runway.
Back in the judging room (with Jay Manuel present as judge), the judges were torn because Caridee had a strong CoverGirl photo, but performed poorly in the fashon show; while Melrose did worse in the Covergirl shoot, but excelled in the fashion show. The judges appreciated Melrose's fashion knowledge and persistence to win the competition, but she came off as too clinical. Meanwhile CariDee was lambasted for her sometimes too loud personality, although she had the much sought after "X-Factor."
The girls returned and Tyra announced CariDee as the seventh winner of America's Next Top Model.
