America's Next Top Model Cycle 13 Episode 4

Make Me Tall

Photo Shoot: Elongating Oneself 

First Call-out

Kara Vincent

Call-out Order: Nicole Fox, Erin Wagner, Sundai Love, Jennifer An, Bianca Richardson, Laura Kirkpatrick, Ashley Howard, Rae Weisz, Brittany Markert

Eliminated 

Lulu Braithwaite

Note: I do not agree with Lulu being sent home. I do agree that Tyra had issues with Lulu and Brittany for sure. I hated how she continues to save Ashley in this episode. I don't know what ANTM and/or Tyra's damage is, but I'm pretty sure that it's colossal.

Fortress of Fierceness

First Call-out

Erin Wagner

Call-out Order: Brittany Markert, Laura Kirkpatrick, Nicole Fox, Kara Vincent, Jennifer An, Sundai Love, Rae Weisz, Lulu Braithwaite, Ashley Howard, Bianca Richardson

ELIMINATED

Courtney Davies

Note: To me Courtney didn't show attitude. Her normal competitive spirit was speaking for her during the shoot. Who wouldn't be frustrated if you were told that you couldn't take off your ugly casts just for short time? Exactly. But this rigged show is really rigged. There's nothing we can do. I don't judge on the attitude because if one day, I would own a company and I would want an ad campaign or something, I wouldn't mind about what happened behind the set. All that matters is that at the end of the day, I'd get a great picture. In ANTM, it's different, the manipulative spirit of the show and how it continuously relies on bad judgment and more drama showed it all. Picture-wise I strongly believe that Ashley and Bianca had the weakest photo. Tyra just made an excuse so that she could send a white girl home and spare the black girl. Seriously? The pattern is so obvious.

The Early Bird Gets A Makeover

Photo Shoot: Re-enacting Baby Photos

Rae Weisz

Call-out Order: Nicole Fox, Jennifer An, Ashley Howard, Courtney Davies, Erin Wagner, Lulu Braithwaite, Rachel Echelberger, Laura Kirkpatrick, Kara Vincent, Brittany Markert, Sundai Love, Bianca Richardson

Eliminated

Lisa Ramos

The girls meet on Melrose Avenue and realize that Amber is missing. The Jays arrive in a limo and take them to a salon where it is revealed that Amber withdrew from the competition due to "personal reasons." Lisa, who had been cut in the semi-finals, is replacing her. The Jays also announce that it is makeover time. Most of the girls are satisfied with their looks, except Lisa, who worries that she didn't get much of a change and Bianca, who doesn't like her bleached eyebrows.

Replacement: Lisa Ramos

The girls then move into a doll-themed house. On the photo shoot, they are tasked to recreate their baby pictures with a fashion twist. Rae struggles with her 8-inch heels, while Sundai and Lisa worry about their styling. Arriving on set, Bianca seems down and tells Jay she doesn't like her make-up. At panel, Rae, Nicole, Jennifer, Ashley and Bianca are noted for their strong shots, while Brittany is castigated for her overtly sexual film. Kara and Sundai are told they lacked energy and Lisa is told that she looks mean.

Ultimately, Bianca lands in the bottom two because of her lack of professionalism, but it is Lisa's poor performance at the shoot and timid personality that gets her eliminated as the judges feel she is not making the most of her second chance.

America's Next Top Model Cycle 13 Episode 1

How Short Can You Go?

Casting

For the first time, contestants under 5'7" are cast. They enter a room where they are supposedly being cast for Le Cycle 13, Fall Collection, but an actor tells them that they are too short, at which point Tyra enters and tells them 'it's time to break the mold'. Soon after they dress in model basics and are given a runway lesson by Miss J and have a face Polaroid taken by Mr. Jay. Then comes castings. Memorable interviews include Courtney revealing she has a broken foot, modeling teacher Alison teaching Miss J her own runway tricks, Lulu stating she is gay within seconds of her entrance and Sundai talking about her abusive childhood. During this time, Amber's personality and Nicole's lack thereof scare their fellow competitors.

20 girls are selected after the first cut and taken to a runway at the end of which they have to strike four poses. Courtney impresses Jay by soldiering on the entire runway instead of just posing. During the review, Tyra notes that many girls are posing in a more sexual than fashion way. Ultimately 14 girls are chosen and Tyra congratulates them for being pioneers.

Call-out Order:

Jennifer An, Erin Wagner, Rachel Echelberger, Kara Vincent, Lulu Braithwaite, Rae Weisz, Ashley Howard, Brittany Markert, Bianca Richardson, Courtney Davies, Nicole Fox, Amber DePace, Laura Kirkpatrick, Sundai Love
