Nnenna won the challenge due to her personality and chose Jade, Gina, and Sara to be the first four to enter the house to choose their bedrooms.

The girls arrived at Warren Tricomi salon and thought they were having makeovers and believed that they would all be shaved bald as a way to level the competition for the photoshoot, when in fact they were fitted with skull caps and posed wearing Swarovski crystals in an array of mannequin heads.

Nnenna won her second challenge for her interpretation of the "new African queen," and once again chose Jade and Gina to accompany her for a $5,000 shopping spree at Nanette Lepore.

At panel, several girls tripped or fell during an impromptu Vivienne Westwood style runway challenge, leaving the judges extremely nervous throughout.

While Joanie received praise for maintaining a model's walk and her steadiness on the 10-inch heels, Danielle fell twice – the second time which she sprained her toe and was on crutches during panel deliberation, while Kari could barely take a step without falling.

However, Kari, who was considered as one of the front-runners of the competition, was eliminated for her bad photo, her non model-like proportions and for allowing her stumbles on the runway to break her spirit, leaving Gina, as well as the other girls in shock.

This episode featured the girls receiving lessons on commercial and high-fashion posing from Janice Dickinson and Lisa D'Amato from Cycle 5.

All the girls rushed to her aid, but Tyra bounced up and yelled that she staged the faint to show them how to really commit and convince an audience.

Furonda's quick wit impressed Cannon and his friends, and she won a guest role on Veronica Mars.

Furonda also won the opportunity to record a nationwide public service announcement about HIV prevention, selecting Nnenna to participate in the filming with her.

Although the judges were turned off by Jade's attitude, Mollie Sue was ultimately eliminated for failing to show any personality in front of panel and for having the worst commercial in the bunch.

The photo shoot required the girls to "krump," a modern dance style, to advertise Payless shoes.

Before deliberation, Tyra demonstrated her signature runway walk and then made a slow, flawless turn, as though on a turntable.

Joanie was praised for her originality in her walk, photoshoot, and her excellent grasp of all that had been taught during the week, and Tyra called her name first.

Sara and Leslie wound up in the bottom two for the first time ever as a result of their poor challenge performances as well as weak photos.

Lesile (deemed to have more potential) was eliminated for not being a model in person and for having a bad runway walk, posture and overall weak presence.

In this week's episode, the contestants were critiqued harshly by an agent (later revealed to be an actress) wanting to test their response under pressure.

Jade won the challenge because she took the criticism she was given without allowing it to affect her negatively, and chose Nnenna to share in the prize with her, which turned out to be a visit from a loved one.

The next day, the girls met Janice, Marc Ecko and Eva Pigford from Cycle 3 for an interview.

Danielle was castigated by Tyra for not capitalizing on the chance to get her teeth fixed but was unanimously praised for her photo, while Sara struggled with both shoots.

This episode began with a session of press training, in which the final six contestants were taught how to deal with difficult interview questions and given pointers on how to improve.

Nnenna won the challenge and received massages administered by the other contestants and picked Jade to share her prize.

They had a photo shoot in which they were given the assignment to pose hanging upside down from nets as mermaids over an open floating market.

Although Furonda was criticized for dressing too flashy, it was Nnenna who was eliminated in her first ever bottom two appearance after her progress in the competition seemed to plateau and the judges felt she was slipping fast.

Joanie put out a stellar shoot, with creative poses while balancing on the elephant's foot, which impressed the judges and gave her the first call-out for the third time in the competition.

Danielle also received great praise for recovering so quickly in her photoshoot, and delivering a gorgeous photograph which did not show any signs of sickness giving her the third call-out.

At judging, Jade finally won the recognition of Nigel Barker who said her picture was great and that he enjoyed filming her.

Jay Manuel visited the remaining three contestants, and informed them that they would be doing both a photo shoot and a commercial for CoverGirl Lash Exact mascara the next day.
