America's Next Top Model, Cycle 3 debuted on September 22, 2004. It was the first cycle to gain partnership with cosmetics magnate CoverGirl, and the cast was increased to 14 contestants.

The winner won a representation by Ford Models, a fashion spread in ELLE magazine, and a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics. The winner was 20 year old Eva Pigford from Los Angeles, California, who was the first African American winner. Episode summariesThe Girl With The SecretOriginal Airdate: September 22, 2004The 34 semifinalists meet in Los Angeles and have a pool party to celebrate making it to California. Deciding to have a bit more fun, some of the girls trek out to a local hot spot where semifinalist Tiffany Richardson gets into a bar fight with a local. Tiffany got cut when cutting down to 20 girls. Tiffany successfully re-auditioned for Cycle 4. Later on, the girls have one-on-one introductions to the judges and a cut is announced where 14 out of the 34 girls are eliminated, leaving a final 20. A second cut soon after eliminates 6 more girls and the final 14 are revealed. Despite receiving rave reviews from the judges about her eyes, Amanda reveals that she has retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease which makes her legally blind. She will be about 30 when she's completely blind. The Girl Who Is Co-DependentOriginal Airdate: September 29, 2004The final 14 are flown to Montego Bay, Jamaica for their first photo shoot, where they are greeted by Jay Manuel and are told to pose in swimsuits against the backdrop of the Jamaican shoreline. Jay also tells the girls that there is only room for 13 people at the apartment in New York and that one girl will be eliminated before the flight home. The next day, the girls go to brunch and learn that they will be flying back to the United States for 7 eliminations. They receive an envelope containing the name of the girl to be eliminated. Magdalena is the first ever girl to be eliminated outside the judging panel, being eliminated on the spot when the envelope shows her name. Back in New York, the girls move into their suite in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. When Eva expresses contentment not sleeping in a room with Ann (after previously agreeing to do so), Ann claimed that she and Eva were growing apart. She told Eva that she loved her and was hurt that she did not want to remain as close as they had been. It was this dramatic scene that sparked rumors that Ann might have a same-sex attraction to Eva or, at the very least, be extremely codependent. After a tour of New York and some quality time with Tyra. Jennipher, Yaya & Toccara were talking about Kelle, they said she was spoiled rotten and snotty after telling Tyra that her mouth looks like a "monkey mouth" The girls proceed to their first official judging and elimination panel, where the weak photos of Leah and Ann cause them to fall to the bottom two. Leah is said to be more "plain Jane", and is eliminated.
The Girl Everyone Thinks Is A BackstabberOriginal Airdate: October 6, 2004During this episode, each girl is given a new look. Some makeovers are drastic - Jennipher is told that her waist-length hair will be cut and donated to Locks of Love, and Amanda is transformed from a brunette to an ice blonde. For the week's photo shoot, each contestant is challenged to take a beauty shot without any make-up. Throughout the episode, the girls begin to see signs that Cassie may have problems with body image and her weight. The girls confront her at dinner about not eating enough, but she insists that she is simply doing what she must to be a model. During the photo shoot, she tells Amanda that she is bulimic. Word gets around to the other girls, who become very concerned. At judging, the girls review the retouched and unretouched versions of their photos. Amanda wows the judges when her unretouched photo shows barely any difference compared to her retouched one. Yaya, Eva, Nicole, and Toccara also receive positive reviews, while Cassie has a lukewarm response. Kelle is criticized for blaming the photographer for picking a bad photo, and Tyra is disappointed with Julie after it is revealed that her motive for being on the show is not to launch a modeling career but rather to gain an edge in fashion manufacturing. Kelle and Julie land in the bottom two, and Julie is eliminated because the judges feel she is only using modeling as a stepping stone to another avenue.
The Girl Who Sets A TrapOriginal Airdate: October 13, 2004The remaining contestants get a lesson on runway walking from Miss J. The next day, they are surprised to know that they will be taking part in a fashion show for Heatherette which is a dream come true for Norelle because Heatherette is her favourite designer. Amanda was worried her night-blindness will be her road to elimination because the runway was dark. Norelle stumbles in the runway, Eva steals the show with her remarkable runway walk and Toccara's sexy full figure stood out and she received the most applause but Eva believes Toccara got applause because her "titties were out". Amanda makes a mistake by telling J. Alexander about her blindness and the girls think she is exagerating her blindness and is lying about it to get special treatment. But in the end Eva was chosen as the winner, and chooses Kelle and Ann to share her reward which is a day on a yacht with America's Next Top Model, Cycle 2 winner Yoanna House. Back in the house, Amanda's crystals go missing and she puts the blame on Eva. This incident actually ignites a fight with Amanda, Ann, Jennipher & Eva after Amanda bumps into Eva "by accident". Jennipher angrily pushes Ann out of the way. Ann warns Jennipher not to touch her again or she will "get knocked out"; however, Amanda later finds her crystals after remembering that she hid them to prevent anyone from stealing them and later apologizes to Eva for accusing her. This week, the girls have a group photo shoot for Lee jeans advertisement, wearing nothing but the product. During panel, the girls were challenged to walk in heels 2 sizes smaller wearing little pink dresses. Jennipher mooned the judges with her butt with "ANTM" written on both butt-cheeks.

Tyra brings in her good friend supermodel turned plus-size model Kate Dillon, who talks about her battle with anorexia nervosa, and talks to the contestants about body image and self-esteem. During a one-on-one chat with Tyra, Kate and Joy Bauer, Cassie reveals she had thrown up in the past but she didn't consider herself bulimic because she didn't throw up after each meal she would do it at night when she thinks she ate too much and shouldn't go to bed with it in her stomach.

As Yaya won the challenge, she picks Amanda to fly first class with her while the other girls ride in coach. When they get to the airport the workers think they are just wanting to go on vacation and not for work. Instead of a photo shoot, the contestants film a Campbell's soup commercial speaking Japanese.

The Girl Who Wins It AllOriginal Airdate: December 15, 2004In the Cycle 3 finale, Amanda, Yaya, and Eva go head-on in the CoverGirl photo shoot.

After deliberation, Yaya is called first, leaving Amanda and Eva in the Bottom 2. Tyra proclaims that both girls have what the others need. For Amanda, she has an edgy look, but lacks persona. As for Eva, she is approachable and very commercial, but does not have the look for high fashion. In a tough elimination, Eva is selected to be in the Final 2, making it the first duo African-American women contending for the title. An emotional Eva thought that she was going to go home, while Amanda is heartbroken that she did not reach it to the runway. At the last judging Yaya and Eva are compared head-to-head. Though Yaya's final runway performance and consistently gorgeous portfolio impresses the judges, her less-than-humble attitude does not.
