Episode 02 - Dreckitude! (17/03/2010)
At the girls' first photo shoot. The girls were required to model only one article of clothing or accessory, which they were to select from a full-dressed mannequin. The girls' choices were:
Contestant Article of clothing:
Alasia [Vest], Alexandra [Necklace], Angelea [Shoes], Anslee [Clutch], Brenda [Watch] , Gabrielle [Leggings], Jessica [Shorts], Krista [Dress], Naduah [Sunglasses], Raina [Ring], Ren [Hat], Simone [Jacket] and Tatianna [Scarf]
At panel, Vogue Editor-at-Large André Leon Talley joined as a permanent judge. In the first judging, Jessica became the brightest star of the bunch, praising the judges for her creativity to use her whole body to create a strong photo (Tyra also told that she is shocked, and called Jessica a "chameleon" for transforming to anything). Angelea also impressed the judges for produced a very feminime shot, although in person she acted very ghetto. Ren and Brenda impressed the judges for the fire in their eyes, while Simone's good skin was highly appreciated by the judges.
Anslee successfully sell the clutch she chosen, while Tattiana successfully create a smile in her eyes. Raina was super praised by the judges for making her photo looks like a courtesan paint, but they thought it just didn't sell the ring. Alexandra and Naduah both failed to produce a super-super good photo, while Krista, Alasia and Gabrielle was deemed as the worst of the worst. Gabrielle's photo was deemed as forgettable. Tyra, Nigel and guest judge Sally considered Alasia’s photo to be weak, although André deemed it "raw and bold." Despite this, Alasia landed with Gabrielle in the bottom two. In the end, André's point of view on Alasia's photo won over the other judges, and Gabrielle was sent home.
First call-out: Jessica Serfaty
Bottom two: Alasia Ballard & Gabrielle Kniery
Eliminated: Gabrielle Kniery
The girls met Ms. J for a runway teach about pacing and removing coats while walking. They were then challenged to walk down a busy Manhattan intersection while practicing what they have just learned. The next day, the girls walked in a Rachel Roy fashion show at Lower Manhattan’s Surrogate's Courthouse, where they had to time their walks perfectly in order to avoid two swinging pendulums on the runway. Some girls struggled with their timing, most notably Alexandra—who tripped down the stairs, got knocked off the runway by a pendulum, injured her knee, and inadvertently tore her dress. Brenda won the challenge and got to keep her dress. Jessica, who was called first at the previous judging, also got to keep her dress.
The week’s photo shoot required the girls to shine through wind and rain to advertise a fast-disappearing perfume. At panel, Nigel deemed Ren’s photo as an advertisement for swine flu, while Naduah’s classic, ad-style photograph was seen as contrary to her edgy look. In the end, it’s Naduah who was eliminated.
First call-out: Raina Hein
Bottom two: Naduah Rugely & Ren Vokes
Eliminated: Naduah Rugely

The show was created and is hosted by talk-show host and model Tyra Banks, who also serves as the head judge and executive producer of the show. The first "cycle" premiered in May 2003 and was one of UPN's highest rated shows. The show's seventh cycle was the first of the shows among regular programming on UPN's successor network, The CW, and thus far is the network's highest rated series. The opening theme is performed by Tyra Banks and is produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Banks co-produces the show with Ken Mok and Anthony Dominici, and is an independent production of 10 by 10 Entertainment and Bankable Productions (part of the dummy company/joint venture Pottle Productions), distributed for The CW by Bankable Productions and syndicated internationally by KingWorld (and its successor CBS Television Distribution). For the 2006–2007, 2007–2008 and 2008–2009 television seasons, ANTM was the #1 show in average viewers on The CW.
