Eliminated

"Bearded Lady"

Megg Morales

Note: This is one of my favorite photo shoots as well. I love the theme of the shoot the only disappointment I have in this episode is the elimination of Megg. She should have gone further. I don't know why Tyra has issues with contestants being beat up with what is given to them. After all, who wouldn't be sad to have been given an ugly beard to sport right? This was also the episode where I can see that the judges are being light on Jaeda. She should have gone home.

First Call-out

AJ Stewart

Call-out Order: Jaeda Young, Brooke Miller, Anchal Joseph, Michelle Babin, Melrose Bickerstaff,
Megg Morales, Amanda Babin, CariDee English, Eugena Washington

Eliminated

Monique Calhoun

In the 4th episode the girls had to rock a catwalk suspended over water, but Monique's dehydration landed her in the hospital. She then went home and did not participate in the photo shoot, but made it to judging. While Eugena was walking on the runway, she fell. At judging, Monique was criticized for not pulling through like models in previous cycles have (specifically Danielle from Cycle 6). In the end, it was Eugena and Monique who landed in the bottom two, both for their inability to translate their beauty into film. Monique was subsequently eliminated for her seeming lack of drive.

 Eliminated

Megan Morris

Note: I was really sad to see Megan leave in this episode. I don't believe she had the worst picture in the bunch. I would have loved to see her progress in this cycle. That said, this too is one of my favorite photo shoots in the history of ANTM. I just loved the fact that they arrived with something as cool as this.

Christian Evans

Note: This is a very interesting photo shoot but Michelle's photo to this day remains my favorite photo of all time. I absolutely love her photo. Not that I wanted to be bulimic, but how she delivered in this shoot. Christian's elimination is sad, I believe that she is a very pretty girl but she just doesn't take that much of a good picture, it kinda lacked luster.

America's Next Top Model Cycle 7 Episode 1

The Girl Who Marks Her Territory

Casting

This season premiere was a special two-hour episode. The 33 semi-finalists started at Los Angeles International Airport and they met with J. Alexander and Jay Manuel. Their task was to shoot a photo above the runway. Later, the girls met Tyra and the Aswirl twins (runway challenge–Cycle 6) and they started off with the auditions. A girl named Cyndel, who referred to herself as an entertainer and told the judges that she worked at a strip club said she considered that stripping "was another part of modeling." Anchal also stood out, principally because of her blue contacts. When asked why she had them in, she said that in India, they found girls with lighter eyes more beautiful. The 33 "semi-finalists" were reduced to 21 girls who would go onto the next round.

Nude Photo Shoot

The 21 girls participated in a nude photo shoot, of which the more conservative girls struggled between their ambition and upbringing. This episode also introduced Jaslene Gonzalez, who failed to make the final cut down to 13. (Jaslene would audition again in the following season, which she won.) Also, these pictures were used and shown (heads only) in this opening.

Order of Call-out:
