Tyra is back again
It has been several months since the girls have been on their own and started their own careers. Last month we were updated with after highlights of each of girl and what they are doing to better their lives.

This episode will update their lives even further as the girls learn more on modelling than ever before. Catch all the fun at their official webstie:
The Runway Ahead
Yoanna Wins Top Model
The last episode of America's Top Model had two eliminations and one winner. Shandi was always seen as too young, and not right enough to fit the top spot. If she had never cheated on her boyfriend her mind might have been in it to win but the last two episodes
Shandi had a vacant look on her face and was not committing herself completely. So she was booted, leaving
Yoanna and Mercedes left to compete in a final photo shoot and runway fashion show. Mercedes had everything, she could walk like a model, she could look like a divia and her pictures were all amazing. While Yoanna was not yet refined in her walk, she posessed an amazing look when being photographed and was all around a good fit as a model. The Judges saw this and while deciding who should win, expressing displeasure with Yoanna and their love for Mercedes, reality set in.
Mercedes had succeeded far more than Yoanna in look and model status but the problem was: "Who can represent America's Top Model to Americans?" - stated by Nigel Barker . Now if you are aware of what this statement meant then your decision on who should win becomes clear as day. Who could sell themselves to Americas? Mercedes the dark skinned girl who showed more talent and model skills or Yoanna, the unrefined white girl of the group, that needed work but photographed well? If you visit your local Magazine stand you will see right away who would sell to Americans and you then can see why the Judges flip flopped in their decision and robbed Mercedes of her title. It was all about the all mighty dollar and in a world where white woman cover almost every magazine a Mercedes Top Model would not do. So as no surprise Yoanna's fate was decided before the Judges final decision was made. Making money off someone is more important than true talent. So Yoanna won and will make a wonderful Top Model. We know Mercedes continued on and has become a very good Top Model of her own. If you want to read all about Yoanna's Victory click the link:
ReCap of Episode 10
Sara breaks down as she is booted
Sara was a great girl and for some reason was picked on during this show when she showed up for her dancing routine. As
Sara dance the number her movements were very attractive and sexual but for some reason the teacher saw nothing. Here was a girl who was more sexually appealing doing the dance routine and in the video but the judges could not see it. Trya stated she could stand beside her in a galla and everyone would think she was a model already but her vote did not count and she got the boot. It was a shame too because
Yoanna sucked during this whole show and had no dancing talent, as she even fell down during shooting. It would appear taht Yoanna, April, and Shandi are all on thin ice and are probably on the boot list while Camille is in the hot seat and Mercedes was there.

America's next top Model Episode 7
Catie gets the boot
Tyra Banks had the pleasure to rid us of another wanna-be model and in the end Camille and Catie faced off as the final two. Early in the show
Camille suffered from a lip inflamation and was very subconcious that her photo shoot was not a great time for the photographers. Then during the Doritos Commerical shoot Catie was hung high from the ceiling by wires but could not get over her fright of dying. This fright made getting a good shot of her and was noticed by all. Catie was considered too young and not ready for modelhood.
Catie was let go and it was a tear jerk ending as she began bawling her way home. At age 18 Catie will get over this lose and is probably on her way to school this fall as she knows now modelling is not in her life. Check out her own story for the episode review:
America's next top Model Episode 6
Too Short or Too Down to Earth Jenascia gets the boot
Another great episode of America's Top Model ended with the cast trying not to get the boot but in the end Jenascia was considered too short, or so Tyra stated, and got the heave hoe. Prior to this each girl had the great time of dressing up as a certain celebrity for their finally photo shoot. Each girl looked amazing and there was no doubt many of them could be a model already. Jenascia was surprised and upset over her dismissal and cried here way out of the loft. Her hopes were dassed and all she could think of was going back to flipping burgers. Next week show we get to see the fashion life with the agony of defeat.
Heather Gets the Boot

You can catch the next episode on Tuesday and find out which girl could not make the cut. Check out the official site:
