Call-out Order: Bianca Golden, Ebony Morgan, Chantal Jones, Jenah Doucette, Saleisha Stowers,

Eliminated

Janet Mills

Note: The series of shocking elimination never seems to stop. Yes, once again, Janet Mills, a well-loved contestant of ANTM cycle 9 was shockingly eliminated on the fifth episode. Once again, a girl who consistently takes good photos was sent home. I don't understand how the judges can be so blind or how this show can be so rigged. I was like  'seriously? How can they let someone with the bigger potential go?'

Photoshoot: Flowers & Plantlife

First Call-out

Jenah Doucette

Call-out Order: Sarah Hartshorne, Heather Kuzmich, Lisa Jackson, Janet Mills, Ambreal Williams, Ebony Morgan, Bianca Golden, Chantal Jones, Saleisha Stowers

Eliminated

Victoria Marshman

Note: I do not think that Victoria has an attitude. AT ALL. I do believe that once again, the judges took something so small and blew it out of proportion. I am fully defending Victoria here because I was actually rooting for her when this competition aired. And I was so frustrated to see the rigged show and the judges to lack in judgement. I believe she was being real. It's better than being fake all throughout the competition. But once again, this rigged reality show is not about raw talent. It's more on the drama. So we once again brush each other's hair and gag. Urgh!

First Call-out

Jenah Doucette

Call-out Order: Heather Kuzmich, Lisa Jackson, Chantal Jones, Sarah Hartshorne, Ambreal Williams,
Victoria Marshman, Saleisha Stowers, Janet Mills, Ebony Morgan, Bianca Golden

Eliminated

Kimberly Leemans

Note: Once again, we arrive to another absurd elimination. Honestly, who did a far worse job? Exactly. I do not believe that Kimberly deserved the ax. Not at all. She was better than the others in this photoshoot. This cycle just got so rigged that it screams ridiculousness all over. If it was up to me I would have placed Saleisha and Bianca in bottom two.

First Call-out

Heather Kuzmich

Call-out Order: Lisa Jackson, Chantal Jones, Sarah Hartshorne, Jenah Doucette, Saleisha Stowers, Ambreal Williams, Victoria Marshman, Janet Mills, Kimberly Leemans, Bianca Golden, Ebony Morgan

Eliminated

Mila  Bouzinova

Note: I totally disagree with Mila being sent home. Ebony and Bianca should have been on the bottom two in the first place. My god! This rigged show really pissed me off. I strongly believe that Mila would be able to give beautiful photos should she have been given the chance to progress in the competition. Sadly, the judges took the small issue and blew it to huge chunks. Her cheerfulness towards the whole situation was sadly taken as lack of seriousness. Obviously, the producers, Tyra Banks, Jay Manuel, and the other judges lacks proper judgement. Nuff said.

America's Next Top Model Cycle 9 Episode 1

The Girls Go Cruisin'

Photo Shoot in San Juan Puerto Rico

The ninth cycle premiered with 33 potential contestants each receiving a phone call from Tyra Banks, announcing that they were the semifinalists. They convened at a port in San Juan, Puerto Rico and met J. Alexander, who gave them boarding passes for a luxurious Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas, their residence for the week until the 13 finalists were decided. Their first task was to walk a runway modeling life-jackets. At breakfast, the women met Tyra, before proceeding to their interviews with the judges. Memorable moments included Janet's mock waxing of Tyra, Heather revealing that she had Asperger syndrome, and Lisa's revelation of being an exotic dancer.

They docked at St. John’s, Antigua for a beach photo shoot, where they met Cycle 8 winner Jaslene Gonzalez. After the shoot, the final 20 were selected. Tyra asked the final 20 why they should become America's Next Top Model, before the final deliberations with Mr. and Ms. Jay were done and the final 13 contestants were chosen. Marvita Washington failed to make the final cut, but later successfully became a contestant on Cycle 10.

Call-out Order: Mila Bouzinova, Bianca Golden, Jenah Doucette, Chantal Jones, Ambreal Williams, Victoria Marshman, Sarah Hartshorne, Saleisha Stowers, Kimberly Leemans, Ebony Morgan, Janet Mills, Heather Kuzmich, Lisa Jackson

Note: Was surprised to know that Jennifer was not picked. She was better than some of the girls here. Oh well, maybe Tyra thought that her rigged show that is ANTM would need more drama in this cycle. What else is new? Exactly.
