For the 11th cycle of America’s Next Top Model, the CW wasted no time in getting viewers drawn into the drama. In addition to the annual selection episode, Week 1 consisted of a bonus elimination hour.

Since the 14 finalists (including a transgendered contestant) were revealed to the media weeks ago, there’s really little need to detail the events of the show’s anti-climatic first half. So let’s just move on to meaty portion of the competition, shall we?

Throughout the 10 cycles of America’s Next Top Model, there have a number of girls who weren’t considered typical models. (Who knew tomboy Lauren would look hot with makeup on?) Then there were those with very masculine traits. (Remember when Paulina called Dominique the transvestite version of Robin Wright Penn?)

Now for the show’s eleventh season, the producers will once again be challenging our concept of beauty. For the first time, the series will be introducing its first transgendered contestant. During her interview before the judges’ panel, 22-year-old Isis explained why she chose to transform herself from a man to a woman. “I was born physically male...but mentally, everything else, I was born female.”

On this week’s episode of America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 10, the remaining six girls traveled to Rome for the final stretch of the competition.  Although this was a time for inspiration and renewal, several of them quickly discovered their flaws didn’t translate well in Italian.  (Note to future contestants:  It doesn’t matter which language you’re speaking, people know what ‘bad’ looks like.)

Who stepped up even when they were feeling down…and who didn’t even bother trying?  Read on!

With only eight competitors left on America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 10, it was now time for the girls to put up or shut up.  If they were going to win this thing, it was important for them to show how much they had learned over the past few weeks.  They could no longer ride on the same old schtick; they had to demonstrate that they could take criticism and finesse their modeling skills.

America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10: House of Pain

During last night’s episode of America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 10, the ladies learned some cold hard truths about modeling – and about life, in general.  As we’ve heard time and time again, what goes up must eventually come down.  (Even the prettiest of girls aren’t immune to this problem.) On the flip side, those already hovering down low could easily vault their way back to the top. 

Who found themselves in new positions this week – and who found herself completely naked?  Read on!

Last night’s episode of America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 10 really highlighted the varying levels of confidence within that New York City loft.  We had a girl who loved to talk about herself in third person; the girl who studied hard to make herself better; and the girl who wasn’t quite sure if she still belonged in the competition.
