In the most dramatic elimination yet, Tyra chose to send two girls home: Rebecca , the 22-year-old former flight attendant from Minneapolis, Minnesota, for not making any progress, and Tiffany, the 22-year-old mother from Miami, for her defeatist attitude. After the elimination, an angry Tyra gave Tiffany a piece of her mind, telling her that she is her own worst enemy and encouraging her to learn from her experiences. EPISODE 8 TATIANA TAKEN DOWN The week was a tough one for Kahlen , the 21-year-old restaurant hostess from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. She suffered the crushing loss of a friend from high school, and the pressure was on when she had to endure the bad timing of a Seven Deadly Sins photo shoot in a cemetery. Somehow she fought through it, and when Tatiana , the 18-year-old waitress from Maui, Hawai'i, and Michelle , the 19-year-old wrestler from Terra Haute, Indiana, were put up for elimination, Tatiana was sent home for being less articulate and confident than the rest of the girls. EPISODE 9 ONLY STRONG SURVIVED : MICHELLE CUT This week the girls get a lesson in channeling their animal instincts when learning to pose like creatures of the wild. Later, they are sent off to the exotic locale of South Africa for an animalistic photo shoot, where some enjoy the comforts of home, while others fend for themselves in the bush. But when elimination time comes, Michelle, the 19-year-old wrestler from Terra Haute, Indiana, and Keenyah, the 19-year-old student from Compton, California, are both called forward, Michelle is sent home because she doesn't seem strong enough to survive in the tough modeling industry. EPISODE 10 CONFIDENCE MEET COLD : CHRISTINA GONE This week, the girls set out into the streets of Cape Town for their first round of go-sees, where Keeynah, the 19-year-old student from Compton, California, pushed her way to the front of the competition by winning the challenge. But after a naturalistic photo shoot during which the girls created their own fashions from the environment, Christina, the 24-year-old fashion-marketing student from Tallahassee, Florida, and Brittany, the 22-year-old elementary school instructional aide from Tallahassee, Florida, were put up for elimination, and Christina was sent home because she wasn't able to warm up her look and personality enough for the judges. EPISODE 11 BRITTANY BOUNCES OUT This week the girls endured a stressful dance competition at a South African community center, and Naima, the 20-year-old coffee shop waitress from Detroit, Michigan, won the challenge easily. As part of her reward, Naima earned extra frames for her photo shoot. When she distributed more frames to Brittany, the 22-year-old elementary school instructional aide from Tallahassee, Florida, and Keenyah, the 19-year-old student from Compton, California, she left rival Kahlen, the 21-year-old restaurant hostess from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, out in the cold. But the extra frames awarded to Brittany and Naima didn't cut it, and Brittany was eliminated because her personality and desire to win weren't enough to keep her around. EPISODE 12 NAIMA IS AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL The final days were intensely competitive between the top three: Keenyah, the 19-year-old student from Compton, California, Kahlen, the 21-year-old restaurant hostess from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and Naima, the 20-year-old coffee shop waitress from Detroit, Michigan. Following the CoverGirl commercial and photo shoots, Keenyah was eliminated, leaving Naima and Kahlen to fight it out during a fashion show complete with a runway submerged under water. Though both models were strong contenders with differing strengths, in the end, Naima came through with powerful "final exam" results, and she was named the winner of America's Next Top Model.
