America's Next Top Model Cycle 15
I'm among the loyal fans of ANTM ever since the show was broadcasted on Astro Channel V few years ago. It is a realtiy television show where number of women compete for the title of America's Next Top Model and to start their career in the modeling industry. I myself love modeling and it has become my nature to watch such shows indeed. From my perspectives, Ilove this show cause Tyra Banks, the producer, realy knows how to make the show such a memorable ones, with contestants ranging from petite models, plus size models, long legged models, skinny models, and even those annoying boastful models..haha..This show is such a catch-eye for me since I am into fashion and the industry itself. I love fashion, I love modeling, I love Tyra Banks, and I love ANTM..
Below are the list of current women who will be competing for the Cycle 15 of ANTM. Watch the show and be mesmerized by their beauties. Muah muah..xoxo JuJu =)

Episode Summaries
1. Welcome To High Fashion
First Air Date: 08.09.10
32 semi-finalists arrive in Los Angeles, California to begin the 15th cycle. Contestants include sisters Chris and Terra (the first sibling contestants since Amanda and Michelle from Cycle 7), Kacey, a semi-finalist of Cycle 11 and Vanessa, Miss Minnesota Teen USA 2009.
The contestants board a bus to Palm Springs, where they meet Mr. & Ms. J. Later in the day, they meet Tyra, who tells them about the new slate of prizes in store for the winner.
Their first challenge is a runway walk modeling clothes from Cynthis Rowley. The girls are split into categories as defined by the fashion industry - "quirky", "sexy", "strong bone structure", "browns", "blondes", and "brunettes" - and are tasked to stand out from their competition.
Tension rises when Kacey instigates Lexie to verbalize Jordan's supposed lack of desire for the competition, when it was in fact, just a misunderstanding, causing Lexie to be deemed as malicious by some of the girls. Also, Emily is questionably accused of being a racist. Afterwards, the interviews commence, and the group is pared down to 20 who moved on to a Cynthia Rowley party. There, they are paired up for a photo shoot. Later that night, the final 14 girls are chosen.
2. Diane von Furstenberg
First Air Date: 15.09.10
The chosen 14 girls arrive at Venice Beach, California, where they meet Venice Beach icon Harry Perry, who passes them the keys to their new loft. Amongst the first few conversations in the house, Ann's awkwardness raises eyebrows, Anamaria admits to taking a carbohydrate-restricted diet in order to remain thin, and Kayla reveals she is a lesbian.
Afterwards, they are taken to the Hollywood and Highland Center, and are tasked to walk in a Diane von Furstenberg runway that is hoisted4 storeys in the air, they also have to do their own hair and makeup. Kacey faces some trouble when she is unable to see the end of the runway because of her myopia, but puts on a strong performance nevertheless; Anamaria falls on her way back.
This week's photo shoot takes place at Smashbox Studios, with the name being "Teen Bullying".Tyra and actress Demi Lovato drop by at the shoot to offer device. Each girl is drawn with a word that hurt her the most as a victim of bullying, as listed below:
| Contestant | Bully Word | Power Word |
|---|---|---|
| Anamaria | Bucktooth | Sexy Mouth |
| Ann | Giant | Amazon |
| Chelsey | Casper | Fearless |
| Chris | Bony | Slim |
| Esther | Weirdo | Independent |
| Jane | Big face | Big Square Head |
| Kacey | Oreo | Nubian Queen |
| Kayla | Queer | Free |
| Kendal | Lanky | Fierce |
| Lexie | Elf ears | Unique |
| Liz | Mutt | Biracial Beauty |
| Rhianna | Stupid | Undefinable |
| Sara | Manly | Athletic |
| Terra | Soup Cooler | Luscious Lips |
At panel, Diane von Furstenberg sits in as the guest judge. Ann, Kayla, Chelsey and Lexie’s pictures receive universal praise, and while Kendal’s photo doesn’t do justice to her beauty, Diane would book her in an instant.
In the end, Terra’s awkward posing lands her in the bottom two, but it is Anamaria who is eliminated because the judges felt her extreme thinness was not sending out the right message to young girls.

3. Patricia Field
First Air Date: 22.09.10
Tyra makes a surprise visit to the house and informs the girls that they will receive makeovers. Panic runs through the house when Liz finds a list of fantasy makeovers created by Ann, Lexie and Rhianna and assumes the credulous makeovers as genuine. However, their excitement quickly fades when they are told that whoever performs the worst at the post-makeover shoot would be eliminated. Terra was deemed the worst and was sent home.

Sara and Lexie landed in the bottom two for having the most unsatisfactory photos, but it was Sara's continual lack of intensity in her photos, despite a drastic makeover, that got her eliminated.

Kacey invited the male models from the previous photo shoot over for dinner. The next day, the girls arrived at Knott's Berry Farm for their first reward challenge - they must evoke an emotion while riding the park's famed roller coaster, Silver Bullet. Most of the girls struggled, especially Chris, who was petrified by the ride. Liz was deemed the best and she won a feature on Tyra.com, photographed by Tyra herself. She chose Chris and Kayla to accompany her, and all three were surprised by a tea party with Tyra.
This week's photo shoot required the girls to portray underwater goddesses while modeling jewelry from Martin Katz, Neil Lane and Mikimoto. Ann once again produced a phenomenal photo and was called first; many girls also showed improvements, but Rhianna's one-note facial expressions and Liz's excuses (her makeup made her eyes water) landed them in the bottom two. Liz was spared, sending Rhianna home.

5. Karolina Kurkova
First Air Date: 06.10.10
Miss. J. led the girls into 2nd Street Tunnel in Downtown Los Angeles where they were challenged to walk on a conveyor belt runway while wearing designs by Herve Leger. While a majority of the girls stumbled through the catwalk, Kacey was deemed the best, and was awarded Lisa Freede jewelry. Back at the house, Kacey clashed with Lexie and Liz.
Andre and supermodel Karolina Kurkova dropped by the house, and Karolina taught the girls about personality and watchful eating. This week's photo shoot had the girls pose with Lucha Libre wrestlers. At judging, Ann confessed that this was her worst shoot to date, but the judges nevertheless loved her photograph, and she was called first for the fourth time in a row. Jane was criticized for her lack of persona and unsatisfactory photograph, while Lexie was lambasted for her stifled posing, despite a vivacious personality. For these reasons, they both landed in the bottom two, but it was Lexie who was eliminated.

6. Patrick Demarchelier
First Air Date: 13.10.10
First Air Date: October 13, 2010 The girls are split into threes for a CoverGirl spokesmodel challenge at Walmart, where Esther, Kacey and Kayla had the overall best sales pitch; Kacey received the most votes from the public while Ann had the lowest. The trio won a shopping spree at Walmart’s CoverGirl aisle, but Esther won an additional $1000 Walmart gift card for having the best makeup look.
The girls go to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills for this week's photo shoot with legendary fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier. They are joined by male models as they strut down Rodeo Drive while posing in clothing hand-picked for them by fashion stylist Lori Goldstein.
At panel, Ann's astounding photos once again blew the judges away, and she broke Cycle 14 winner Krista White's record of four consecutive first call-outs, with five. She also ties withCycle 6's Joanie Dodds and Cycle 10's Anya Kop for most number of collective first call-outs. Kayla’s "pained" photo (which she blamed on the discomfort caused by her undersized shoes) landed her in the bottom two, but it was Kacey, despite being deemed by the judges as having a great runway and personality, who was eliminated for producing consistently mediocre shots.
