The All-Star girls arrive one by one at the new house, and meet each other. Some of them were really happy, and others were surprised of some of the returning models. Bianca was upset when Bre surprised her, as they were friends in real life, and Bre never told Bianca she was going to be on this cycle too. Kayla was unrecognizable by some of the girls, and Camille’s welcome was the least exciting. Once the fourteen models were in the house, they meet Mr. Jay, who informed them, that they were going to do their first photoshoot, in the house’s backyard. The photoshoot would be about each girl’s personality and what made them stars during their cycles. Bianca was upset when she was given a red weave, as she is now trying to be a lady, and Shannon refused to use lingerie and chose a bikini instead, which made Jay confused.
During the photoshoot, Isis, Angelea, Laura and Lisa, were the best according to the photographer’s opinion. Bianca, Brittany and Alexandria, struggled with their shoots. After the photoshoot, Jay told the girls they were going to be judged in front of a live audience at the Nokia Plaza, and that the first guest judge would be Nicki Minaj.
At the panel, Dominique, Isis, Laura and Allison received good criticism, while the judges were confused about Alexandria, who had the most difficult time, when a fan from the crowd, insulted her. Tyra reveals the girls, that this week’s decision was going to be made not only based in the pictures, but in the reactions of the crowd for the girls, and the girls with the crowd.
For the elimination, the panel was private, in the room where the girls will be judged for the entire season. Isis photo got the first call out, while Alexandria and Brittany landed in the bottom two: Brittany as the crowd barely remembered her, and Alexandria as she was the only girl with negative comments. In the end, Alexandria was spared, and Brittany was eliminated, despite taking a good photo.
- First call-out: Isis King
- Bottom two: Alexandria Everett & Brittany Brower
- Eliminated: Brittany Brower
- Featured photographer: Celeste Canino
- Special guest: Nicki Minaj
