America's Next Top Model

"America's Next Top Model:All-Stars" began with all the girls acknowledging Lisa for getting Best Photo, while Lisa pointed out that the girls with the biggest personalities were getting sent home first. The morning after elimination, the girls got a surprise visit from reality star Kristin Cavallari. Kristin said that the girls would always have haters, but that it's important to be true to who you are. The girls asked her questions about maintaining career longevity and seemed impressed overall with her advice and achievements.

Then the girls got a Tyra Mail. The challenge this week took place at the Grove with Extra's Mario Lopez interviewing the girls to determine how they'd answer the tough questions. They were split up into two teams. Team 1 was Lisa, Laura, Alexandria, Isis, Dominique, and Angelea, and team 2 was Bianca, Kayla, Bre, Camille, Shannon, and Allison. The team who performed the best in the challenge would be safe from elimination, so everybody did their best to win.

Team 1 went first. Isis was asked about her former life as a man, and she said that she's comfortable talking about it, but she's focused on her goals. Angelea was asked if having too much flavor would hurt her, and she said that you always want people talking about you. A fan asked Alex what made her feel like she had to put on such a tough exterior, and Alex said that she didn't want to be walked on. Lisa was talking over people the whole time, and hi-fiving them for their answers, which didn't sit well with Nigel. Nigel also told Angelea that she was too conservative in her interview, and that made her angry.

Team 2's interviews went much better, though. Bianca talked about word, "vomit," a bit too much. Allison said that modeling made her a better-rounded person, and when a fan asked Kayla about her discomfort with modeling with men, Kayla said that she'd moved past it and had been set free. Camille was asked about her future plans, and she said that she wanted to be involved in the world of fashion in some way. Nigel chastised Bianca for being too open, Kayla was lauded as a role model, and Allison was recognized for speaking her mind.

Team 2 won the challenge, and Allison was the ultimate winner, winning an actual interview that would air on Extra. After it was over, Angelea was really upset and said that you're supposed to be professional in an interview, and that if they want someone "hood," they'd get someone hood.

Back at the house they had Tyra Mail. They were due at Siren Studios the next day, and they discovered that they'd actually be modeling on stilts! Each girl was paired up - one from the winning team and one from the losing team.

Dominique and Kayla did a good job, but Jay said they could have reacted to each other more. Camille and Isis were up next, and Camille said that she had to do a good job because how could a transgender do better than "an actual real woman"? Ouch! So not cool. They had a not-so-great shoot, and when Isis was dancing around afterwards, Jay said that she should have done that during the shoot.

Lisa and Bianca were next, and although Bianca was really afraid of heights, they ended up having a decent shoot, though Jay said that Bianca didn't deliver. When Angelea and Allison were up, Allison smoked her! Bre and Laura turned out a gorgeous photo, and Shannon and Alex did well too, except that Alex kept falling and Shannon gave us yet another lesson about the difference between bathing suit bottoms and underwear.

Judging time! This week's guest judge was Kristin Cavallari. The judges loved Alex's and Shannon's shot, and when Angelea and Allison approached, Angelea addressed Nigel about what he said at the challenge, and he was impressed that she had the nerve to ask him about it. Dominique and Kayla did okay, Isis and Camille didn't blow anyone away, and Laura and Bre pulled off a great shot. Lisa and Bianca were also great.

After deliberations, the top 6 girls from the safe group were called, followed by the remaining 6 who were unsafe. Here's how it went down:

Angelea and Isis were left in the bottom two - Isis' photo wasn't so great, and Tyra said that it seemed to be getting worse as the competition went on. Angelea didn't have a great photo either, and the judges were worried that she would continue to not take notes from them. Angelea was spared, and Isis was eliminated.

Isis was shocked that she was eliminated, and felt that she had a lot to offer. She said that she'll continue to do appearances, and she'll leave the competition with an impact on the girls, and hopefully on the world.
