America's Next Top Model 5
America's Next Top Model 5America's Next Top Model 5 (Courtesy Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
America's Next Top Model, Cycle 5 is the fifth cycle of America's Next Top Model. The judging panel ensemble was altered - Janice Dickinson was replaced by one of the most recognizable models of the 1960s, Twiggy, and Nolé Marin was replaced by runway coach J. Alexander. The cycle's catch-phrase is "Bling It On". The international destination during this cycle was London, United Kingdom. 19 year-old Nicole Linkletter, from Grand Forks, North Dakota, won the grand prize of a photo shoot for the cover of Elle Girl, a fashion spread within Elle, a contract for representation with Ford Models, and a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics. The cast size was reduced from 14 to 13, which has been maintained up until Cycle 10. The house that the girls stayed in the first half of the competition was later used for the first season of the VH1 show Rock of Love with Bret Michaels. Episode SummariesThe Girl With The Twisted Catch Phrase (Part 1) / The Girls Become Superheroes (Part 2)Original Airdate: September 21, 2005In the first week, the thirteen girls moved into a Los Angeles home, a Top Model first. The whole house was a boutique theme, with the rooms having the themes of The Perfume room, The Stilleto Salon, and the Bag Ladies' room. Then, the thirteen girls competed in a superhero-themed photo shoot in which each contestant was suspended in the air to take a 'fierce' photograph. While Nik and Lisa shone brightly, Ashley was eliminated in this episode because, though her photograph was not among the weakest in the group, nor her runway walk, the judges felt that she was not a model and was just trying to get by as a pretty girl.
The Girl Who Needs A MiracleOriginal Airdate: September 28, 2005In the makeover episode, Cassandra, a former beauty pageant competitor who was very attached to her long brown hair, was given the most dramatic makeover. Tyra had doubts about whether Cassandra was more dedicated to pageants or modeling, so she decided to test Cassandra's resolve by giving her a very short blond hairdo similar to Mia Farrow's character in Rosemary's Baby. Despite much consternation, Cassandra went through with the makeover and shined in the next shoot, in which each contestant partnered with another contestant of her choice, and the two were photographed separately in the same couture-inspired outfit.
The Girl Who Makes A DisclaimerOriginal Airdate: October 5, 2005In the next episode, the girls pose as fashion victims being chased by "Miss J" as a fashion police witch. The shoot was taken on a moving platform in front of a green screen. The contestants did not know what was on the green screen. During the shoot, unwilling to have her hair cut shorter, Cassandra refused this assignment and was the first contestant ever to quit. At the house, Sarah and Kim made out in bed. In panel, the judges placed Kim and Sarah in the bottom two. Sarah was eliminated due to a poor photo, a bad runway walk and a lack of self-confidence.
The Girl Who Gets A Boob JobOriginal Airdate: October 12, 2005Janice Dickinson, a former panel judge, photographed the remaining contestants in the following plastic surgery-themed photo shoot. Each contestant was photographed as if she had undergone a surgical beauty enhancement procedure gone over the top, as follows:
The Girl Who Loves Bubbles And Talks To PlantsOriginal Airdate: October 19, 2005The next episode's challenge was to complete a commercial shoot, photo shoot, and press interview, all advertising Secret deodorant, in the space of thirty minutes. Behind the scenes, there was a lot of drama, because Jayla stole Nik's secret, on camera; this caused Nik to lose sight of her objective and ultimately deliver a bad interview. The undeclared prize was that the girl with the strongest photograph would have her picture run as an actual advertisement for the product in print media. The judges agreed that Lisa had the strongest performance this week, but they chose Nicole's photo as the best one, and selected it. Nik's lack of focus and poor performance during her commercial landed her in the bottom two with Coryn. Coryn was eliminated because she could not overcome her melancholy demeanor.
The Girls Who Are 1940s Pin-upsOriginal Airdate: October 26, 2005The contestants shot advertisements for Ford Fusion dressed as Vargas "pin-up" girls. That same week the 7 girls were coached in a black and white photo shoot with Tyra assisting them. Many girls, notably Kim and Lisa impressed the judges, while Kyle was eliminated in this round as she failed to be expressive in her face in the pin-up shot and use the potential she had to stand out in photo shoots.
The Girl Who Wants To Step On The Pretty FlowerOriginal Airdate: November 2, 2005This was the recap episode of the season. Revealed during the episode was a bird that almost became the girls' mascot. They named it Mr. Bojangles, and upon Kyle's revelation that the bird kept flying into things, Nicole suggested that all non-domesticated birds were blind. The episode's title was taken from a quote by Cassandra, regarding fellow contestant Kyle - who Cassandra remarked was "like a pretty flower that someone wanted to step on". The Girl Whose Boyfriend Is Cheating On HerOriginal Airdate: November 9, 2005For the following week's episode, the final six contestants shot with the Wild Boyz. Steve-O's immature personality does not sit well with Bre, and neither does Lisa's proclamation that she is going to urinate in a diaper while on-set. Though Nicole and Jayla failed to impress the judges with their photographs and were called forward as the bottom two, Tyra shocked the contestants by announcing that both girls were "packing their bags", then revealing a picture of the Union Jack: both girls were still in the running to becoming Americas next top model because everyone would be going to London. This was the first (and to date, only) non-recap episode in Top Model history in which no contestant was eliminated.
The Girl Who Talks Behind Everyone's BackOriginal Airdate: November 16, 2005Soon after the final six arrived in London, they competed in a risqué photo shoot in which all six girls at once posed in a London phone booth wearing only panties, galoshes and a newspaper, as if hiding from the paparazzi. Kim and Bre engaged in a fight after Kim spotted Bre and Nik talking about her behind her back. Bre retaliated saying that Kim talked about every single person in the house behind their back. Kim denies this comment and Bre refers to her as "an ugly person" At judging, Bre is noted for taking another strong shot. Jayla is in the bottom two because she has done mediocre photographs. Lisa was eliminated for her confidence was perceived as spitfire arrogance, despite having the strongest shot.
The Girl Who RetaliatesOriginal Airdate: November 23, 2005For this week's challenge, the girls had to pose as statues in a park. Nicole struggled as pigeons surrounded her, while Nik won, and chose Jayla and Bre for the prize - a shopping spree. The five remaining contestants then posed as modern interpretations of classical art in an advertisement for Quench body lotion by Olay.
The Girl Who Takes A PillOriginal Airdate: November 30, 2005The girls go on go-sees they have to dress mod, bollywood, preppy, and punk. Nik wins the challenge and chooses Nicole to share in the prize. Nicole then picks Jayla. Nik wins 100 frames. Nicole wins 80 frames. Jayla wins 60 frames. Bre only gets 50 frames and can't see herself before the photo shoot. The final four were photographed in a Bollywood-inspired shoot, reflecting the Indian influence on British fashion in recent years. At panel, Nik and Nicole, once again, wowed the judges, and Jayla was eliminated because, despite her previous strong performance, her more recent photographs were mediocre, and she had blended into the background of the last shoot.
The Girl Who Is On The CoverOriginal Airdate: December 7, 2005In the season finale, Bre, Nik, and Nicole shot a CoverGirl commercial and stills. While Nik's strong performance was an improvement from her previous showing in the Secret shoot, both Bre and Nicole struggled. Nik was chosen first to continue on in the final round, and then Nicole was chosen over Bre, who became the eleventh girl to get sent home. Nik and Nicole then shot a magazine cover with Tyra Banks, photographed by Gilles Bensimon, knowing that the winner's cover would be published in the February 2006 issue of Elle Girl. They then competed in the final runway competition, in which previous Top Model winners Eva Pigford and Naima Mora participated. At the final elimination panel, the judges favored Nicole's final performance over Nik's, both in the final runway challenge and in the covergirl shoot, and subsequently Nicole Linkletter was selected to be the fifth winner of America's Next Top Model.
