America's Next Top Model, Cycle 10 is the tenth cycle of America's Next Top Model and the fourth season of the series to be aired on The CW network. The promotional catchphrase of the cycle is "New Faces, New Attitude, New York."
The winner, similar to the past three cycles, will win management and representation by Elite Model Management, a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics, and a cover and six-page spread within Seventeen magazine.
A few major changes were made this season. The show was moved back to New York City, New York, after being housed in Los Angeles, California since Cycle 4. The number of contestants was also increased to 14, after being maintained at 13 since Cycle 5. Finally, the judging panel, unchanged since Cycle 5, was also altered; Twiggy was replaced by Czech supermodel Paulina Porizkova due to the former's scheduling conflicts. [1].
Episode summaries
Welcome To Top Model Prep
Original Airdate: February 20, 2008
35 girls arrive at "Top Model Prep" where they meet Mr. Jay Manuel and Miss J. Alexander. They shoot a class photo before commencing runway lessons with Miss J., where Lauren is seen as the weakest walker. Next, the girls attend a bonfire where the "Homecoming Queen" is going to be announced. The cheerleaders by the stage are revealed to be a few contestants from past cycles. Mr. Jay then announces that the finalists will be taken to New York City. Homecoming Queen turns out to be Tyra, who surprises the girls, coming from behind the curtains. Casting interviews then commence.
In between interviews, a fight breaks out between Shaya and Fatima, but they later make up when the latter reveals that she is a survivor of genital mutilation. Memorable auditions include Stacy Ann's lap dance, Fatima telling the judges about her circumcision, and Claire's confession about drinking her own breast milk so her baby can breastfeed when she returns home.
After the interviews, the girls are pared down to the final 20, where they participate in a senior class photo shoot and have to do their own hair and make up.
Later in the day, Tyra reveals the final 13. When she calls "Aimee/Amy", both advance, and Amy offers to change her name to "Amis" to avoid confusion. When the thirteenth girl is chosen, Tyra mentions that so many girls had potential, and chooses Dominique as the fourteenth and last finalist.
- Special guests: Furonda Brasfield, Joanie Dodds, Michelle Babin, Amanda Babin, Jael Strauss
New York City, Here We Come
Original Airdate: February 27, 2008
The girls are taken to their loft in New York City featuring a humanitarian theme. To Amis, Fatima and Kimberly's frustration, there is a "no smoking" sign which leads them to smoke outside of the loft. Mr. and Miss J. arrive and round up the girls for a city tour. The final stop is a Badgley Mischka runway show.
After the show, Fatima unintentionally hits Marvita with her hand, brewing tension. The girls are then taken to Elite Model Management building and they meet Paulina Porizkova and Neal Hamil, and Paulina gives each girl brutal and harsh criticism.
At the photo shoot, the girls have to portray homeless women being surrounded by high fashion models. Most of the girls receive positive feedback, but Amis' over-enthusiasm and Kimberly's dead expressions get criticized. Later, Kimberly admits to Fatima that high fashion is not her interest.
At judging, Paulina Porizkova is revealed to be the new panel judge, replacing Twiggy. When Kimberly is called for evaluation, she states her lack of desire for the fashion industry, and proceeds to quit the competition. She is the third contestant to voluntarily leave the show, after Cycle 5's Cassandra Whitehead and Cycle 9's Ebony Morgan.
Despite the shock, Tyra announces that there will still be an elimination. Marvita and Amis are revealed to be the bottom two, with Marvita lacking a high fashion appeal and Amis looking lost in her photo. However, the judges see Amis has having a certain "edge", and she is saved.
- Bottom two: Amis Jenkins & Atalya Slater
- Eliminated: Atalya Slater
- Quit: Kimberly Rydzewski
- Featured photographer: Sarah McColgan
- Special guests: Mark Badgley, James Mischka, Neal Hamil, Taz Tagore, Sutan, Christian Marc
- CoverGirl of the Week: Claire Unabia
Top Model Makeovers
Original Airdate: March 5, 2008
The girls receive Applebottom apparel that come in white purses. Allison gets offended when Fatima tells her that she has a larger body than hers, and Allison reveals her past struggles with anorexia. The girls are taken to Wal-Mart for a CoverGirl make up challenge, which Claire wins. Back at the house, Allison uses dolls to represent the earlier incident between herself and Fatima. Using a dark-skinned doll to represent Fatima, Allison takes a jab at her by saying that Fatima is a "black girl who takes it from the back".
Later, the girls receive their makeovers. To mimic a true agency, Tyra doesn't tell the girls their makeovers. Fatima's weave comes with a lot of pain, but she ends up loving it. There is general satisfaction among the other girls as well.
The photo shoot is on a yacht with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background. They meet Elle Macpherson and model her line of lingerie called "Intimates".
At judging, Lauren shines for her awkwardness that translates into high fashion, and Fatima and Dominique are equally praised. Amis is called third to last for not taking direction well. Aimee and Allison, however, are in the bottom two, Aimee for her soccer mom look and Allison for her cockiness, and both ultimately for their lackluster photos. Aimee's name is called and Allison is eliminated. Tyra then tells Dominique that she will receive a change in hair color.
- Bottom two: Allison Kuehn & Dominique
- Eliminated: Allison Kuehn
- Featured photographer: George Holz
- Special guests: Elle Macpherson, Steven Knoll, Brent Poer, Molly Stern, Sutan, Christian Marc
- CoverGirl of the Week: Claire Unabia
Where's the Beef?
Original Airdate: March 12, 2008
The girls are taken to the New York City Fire Department where they meet Miss J. for a runway teach. They have 90 seconds to change into proper outfits, but Amis fails to change shoes. The mock runway is performed in front of the firefighters.
Tension brews in the house when Aimee calls a shower all to herself, being uncomfortable nude in front of others. When Whitney defends Aimee's conservative views, Fatima and Stacy Ann instead vent their frustrations on Whitney.
The girls are then taken to a runway show where they have to walk for fashion label "Tuleh", and they meet Cycle 8 winner Jaslene Gonzalez, who critiques them after the show. Fatima and Whitney's wardrobe malfunctions don't go unnoticed, and Lauren's speedy walk is heavily criticized. The winner is revealed to be Katarzyna, who picks Amis and Fatima to join in her prize - a Lot 29 photo shoot in Seventeen magazine with Jaslene.
For the week's photo shoot, the girls are taken to the Meat Packing District, posing with and wearing meat. Aimee, Amis and Whitney all struggle in the strange environment.
Twenty minutes before panel, Amis is still sleeping, and she only has time to don a headband and sweater. Unsurprisingly, she is criticized for not dressing like a model. While Anya and Whitney shine, Tyra tells Lauren that she would have been called first if not for her bad walk.
The bottom two are revealed as Amis, for her lack of focus, and Fatima, for her poor facial expressions and lack of variety in modeling waist up. Amis is eliminated with her desire to win being question.

- Eliminated: Amis Jenkins
- Featured photographer: Trevor O'Shana
