The tenth cycle of America's Next Top Model was the fourth season of the series to be aired on The CW network.

Finally, the judging panel, unchanged since cycle 5, was also altered; Twiggy was replaced by model Paulina Porizkova due to the former's scheduling conflicts.

Notable contestants included Shaya Ali, Shalynda McKenzie, Marguerite Swallow and Kristen Hubbard.

After revealing that "thirteen is an unlucky number" an extra slot had been opened in the competition in order to allow Dominique to join the cast as the fourteenth contestant.

Most of the contestants received positive feedback, but Allison's Pilates, Amis' over-enthusiasm and Kim's dead expressions were criticized.

Fatima took this badly and fired back that it wasn't her problem that Allison had an eating disorder and "needed to grow up and really take responsibility for her own anorexic issues".

Fatima and Whitney's wardrobe malfunctions didn't go unnoticed and Lauren's speedy walk was heavily criticized.

Katarzyna won the challenge, and picked Amis and Marvita to join in her prize – a Lot 29 photoshoot in Seventeen magazine with Jaslene.

Back at the house, Whitney created a phone list, which was a schedule that assigned each contestant a limited amount of time to call home.

At panel, most of the contestants were praised for strong shots, especially Stacy-Ann's and Dominique's, but Marvita and Whitney's pictures were deemed unsatisfactory.

In the end, for the first time ever Whitney and Marvita landed in the bottom two, both for their bad photos and questionable passion for the competition.

Tension mounted when Lauren, Claire and Whitney accused Dominique of being a negative person and ganged up on her bringing her to tears.

The teach was actually a secret challenge, and Anya won a chance to shoot timeless nude photographs taken by Nigel Barker.

Despite both the girls having two of the easiest genres, each one produced a bad photo, with Aimee's being deemed lackluster and Claire's too harsh for a country theme.

Claire hurt her neck after falling straight down on the sheet (which she had been specifically told not to do), causing her to struggle with her shoot.

While Anya constantly made very good poses, Fatima also impressed Jay, however, she moved too slow so most of her film would appear the same.

Katarzyna received her shorter haircut, and was at first a little upset at the quick way her long hair was cut off and the drastic change, but was initially happy at the mid-neck length result.

Both Dominique and Stacy Ann failed to fully impress Jay, both of them did mediocrely but turned out to produce decent photos.

Lauren's awkward personality, a weak presence in the judging room, and mediocre photo landed her in the bottom two together with Claire, who was criticized for her lack of versatility and her "one-note look."

The girls assumed they were going to travel abroad due to a hint in Tyra Mail, so the contestants packed their belongings.

They were taken to the airport but Jay told them that they would actually be doing a photoshoot portraying a group of jet-setters boarding an airplane, using suitcases as props.

Anya won the challenge, and her prize was a long white red carpet dress, designed by Gai Mattiolo.

Whitney (for the third time) for her inability to live up to her full modeling potential, and Katarzyna who was ultimately eliminated in her first-ever bottom two appearance because the judges felt that she was just "coasting along" rather than really making an impression.

At the photoshoot, with Nigel Barker as the photographer, the contestants portrayed Italian movie stars being pursued by the paparazzi.

Dominique was criticized for looking like a drag queen and Fatima for not taking direction from Mr. J and Nigel on the shoot.

During the final deliberation, Whitney was told she did a very good job, but she forgot to pose long enough at the end of the runway.

Anya was told she didn't walk as strong as Whitney, but she still looked stunning and improved a lot since the beginning of the competition.

The judges felt that Anya's photos were edgy, high fashion, and made the clothes appear worth buying while Whitney's were warm, approachable, and attractive to men.

[78] She explained that she initially wanted to join ANTM to help her divert her emotions, but she felt that it was not working and later used an ambiguous excuse to voluntarily leave the contest.

He also said the film crew had punched “hundreds of holes in the ceiling to hang lighting equipment.” and had torn up the Brazilian wood floors.
