Shortly after the shoot, Alexandra announces that she will be leaving the competition due to residual pain from a recent car accident. This week's photoshoot is also the challenge, and Heather's strong performance earns her a trip to the ice floes off of Prince Edward Island for an additional shoot with Nigel, a prize she shares with Jill and Nikita. At the final judging, Heather and Maryam are praised for their photos, while Jill lands in the bottom two for not working her best assets despite a good photo. The judges gave her a second chance and eliminated Tiffany because the judges feel like that she didn't have any passion for the competition.

Transformers

Aired: June 2, 2009

When the girls return to the house, tension arises based on both Nikita's attitude towards most of the other girls and the fact that Tiffany, a well liked contestant, was sent home. The girls are then sent to a court room where Jay is dressed up as a judge and tells each girl the verdict of their 'crime'; their sentences are their makeovers.

The girls then go to the hair salon, where they are given their makeovers. Linsay and Rebeccah are given the biggest change, where Tara, Maryam, and Heather get more subtle makeovers. Nikita throws a small fit with her makeover, because she feels that her bangs are too short, but soon gets used to the change.

For the challenge, the girls go to H&M, where they meet fashionista June Ambrose. They are given a limited amount of time to put together a fashionable outfit to be judged. While Nikita has trouble finding an outfit, the rest of the girls succeed. Rebeccah wins the challenge for pulling together a quirky summer outfit and making it look hot.

In this week's photoshoot, the girls pose on a ladder in high-fashion Italian clothing, creating chemistry with a male model. Some of the girls do well and others have a bit harder of a time, but in the end they all pull off a decent shot.

At judging, the judges are satisfied with all the girls makeovers. One by one, each girl is called up to have their photo critiqued. Rebeccah is told her photo resembles Twiggy too much, and Jill is told she improved leaps and bounds from her last photo, but still needs to bring more of a fashion edge. Maryam is told she needs to show her face better, and is critized for her slip from last week's photos. Nikita is hailed for her high fashion photo, and is told it could grace the cover of any fashion magazine. Heather, Ebonie, Tara, Linsay, and Meaghan also pull off good photos.

When the girls are called back in, Jay announces how hard the decision was, and that he thought the competition would never got so hard this early. Nikita is called first for her vogue-like photo and strong cheekbones. Jay comments about how he would want to hang it in his living room. In the end, Jill and Rebeccah land in the bottom 2. Jill is commended for her improvement, but the judges still doubt her high-fashion appeal, and wonder if her heart is really in the competion. Rebeccah is told that she has to find her own personality and style, without resembling someone else. In the end, it is Rebeccah that is given another chance, and Jill becomes the second girl eliminated.

A Warm Safe Place

Aired: June 9, 2009

Straight after the judging panel, all the girls go to their hotel pool, where they find Mike and Yasmin. For an unofficial test, the girls must get in the water, and stay fierce even when water is being splashed at them by another girl. Almost all the girls struggle, but Meghan manages to stay camera-ready, and the judges take notice of her cool attitude under pressure. For the challenge this week, the girls met photographer Christopher Wadsworth and Helen Pak from Saatchi & Saatchi Canada, an advertising company who developed a campaign idea for Cover Girl’s Outlast Lipstain. The girls had to smash berries on their faces to emulate how women have struggled through time to get a great lipstain. Due to the challenge taking place extremely early, Nikita struggled, working on very little energy, and her tiredness showed. Linsay won the challenge for her great photo, and she was awarded 50 extra frames at the next photo shoot.

Next, Jay shocks the girls when he announces that they would be traveling to Nassau for this week's photoshoot. Ebonie, being from the Bahamas, is thrilled, but Maryam is upset after being told that she is unable to go, due to her not having a passport. At the photoshoot, the girls portrayed castaway brides whose fiancés left them at the altar, and went to the beach to cry, the wardrobe for the shoot being wedding dresses. Nikita's performance was not strong due to the strong waves pushing her, while Ebonie claimed that it was her best photoshoot yet. In Toronto, Maryam did a similar photoshoot at a studio, which later made the girls upset.

Back in Canada, the girls arrive at the judging room. Jay said he expected more from Nikita’s photo, and that Nolé had reported that there was an overall gloom and negativity around her, and Yasmin was put off by her attitude toward the shoot. Meaghan felt that she performed poorly, but pulled off a great photo. Ebonie produced a bad photo, but stated her strong suspicion towards the judges that they did not pick her best shot. Heather wows the judges with her amazing photo, while Rebeccah brings real pain towards her shot due to the recent death of her dog. Maryam also does well, but the judges state their great concern for her not having her passport. Linsay produces a good shot, but the judges aren't happy that she isn't looking into the camera again.

The judges deliberated and picked Heather for the photo of the week, with Meghan, Maryam, Rebeccah, Linsay, and Nikita following. In the end, it's Ebonie and Tara that are in the bottom 2, for poor-closeups in their pictures. In the end, it was Ebonie who was sent home, for not looking like a model in person.

  • First call-out: Heather Delaney
  • Guest Judge: Helen Pak
  • Bottom Two: Tara Didon & Ebonie Finley
  • Eliminated: Ebonie Finley

Model Meltdown

Aired: June 16, 2009

After eliminations, the girls returned home to find a note from Ebonie telling them to stop complaining because they were the luckiest girls in the world. The remaining finalists discussed how they thought Maryam should’ve been eliminated instead because she didn’t have a passport and didn’t go to The Bahamas.

The girls gathered at a high school auditorium and were met by judge Mike Ruiz and supermodel Irina Lazareanu who said they were going to help them develop charisma and presence. After a few suggestions on how to be more confident, the girls had to change into burlap sacks and read a script off of cue cards. Most of the girls struggled with pronouncing the names of the designers in the script. Tara was told she was the least charismatic and Heather won the challenge. Irina thought she was one of the girls who stood out the most and could have a shot at an international career. Returning back to the loft, Nikita and Heather found out they were being evicted from their private room and Heather received an LG Notebook PC as her prize. Nikita and Heather had to move into the room with the other girls. Nikita refused to have her bed beside Rebeccah’s.

Another ‘Jay Mail’ informed the girls that even if they lost their voice they’d still have to face the world. The girls were taken to The Fifth in downtown Toronto, where they learned from creative director Nolé Marin they would be having an extremely dramatic beauty shoot with a twist – their mouths would be sealed off with duct tape. The girls also learned about some Olay products they could use to take care of their skin. The photographer was Chris Nicholls, who explained since the girls’ hair and makeup was so stylized they had to work very hard to pull it off. Nolé and Chris thought Heather gave them a lot of variety but she wasn’t happy with how it went. Chris thought Nikita was beautiful and had great bone structure but had trouble on set following direction. Nolé told Linsay she needed to work with her eyes. Chris thought she was almost too focused on the camera. Rebeccah was thrown off by all the makeup. She was very expressive and Chris didn’t think she fully understood the best angles of her face and the light. The other girls were watching and laughing – they claimed it was about other stuff and not her. Linsay and Heather told Rebeccah after the shoot they weren’t laughing at her. Rebeccah had a bit of a breakdown and started crying. After her makeup was removed, she went to a separate room and called her mom to tell her she was having a panic attack. Tara was up next and Nolé thought that despite having an incredible body, she didn’t give him any range in her face. Maryam was overly dramatic, according to Chris, but they still got some great shots. Meaghan explained that before school picture days her mom used to make her sit in front of the mirror and cover her mouth so she could learn to smile with her eyes. Nolé said she blew him away because of the story she was telling with her eyes. Chris thought Meaghan was the best because of her expressive eyes and all the variety she gave. After the shoot, Rebeccah didn’t end up going back to the house with the other girls. The girls had a dance party while Rebeccah later returned home. Nothing was said about what had happened earlier. A ‘Jay Mail’ informed the girls there would be eliminations the next day.

During the deliberations the judges thought Meaghan and Heather looked similar in the photos and Meaghan had to stand out to stay in the running. Irina thought Tara had the best body but Yasmin was disappointed with her developmental pace. Jeanne thought Nikita had an edge and Irina thought based on the picture, Nikita would be ready to go out there and do her thing. While Irina thought Rebeccah had personality and character, Yasmin thought her poses were becoming predictable. Mike thought Maryam conveyed the idea completely. Jay thought after making it through such a difficult photo shoot last week, she’s taking no prisoners. Jeanne thought Heather was the one who consistently knew what she was doing even though her photo was predictable. Yasmin said Linsay had improved but thought she was progressing at a turtle’s pace. The girls were called back in and Maryam got photo of the week while Tara and Linsay landed in the Bottom 2.After being told she was holding back in her photo, it was Tara who was eliminated.

  • First call-out: Maryam Massoumi
  • Guest Judge: Irina Lazareanu
  • Bottom Two: Tara Didon & Linsay Willier
  • Eliminated: Tara Didon

Battle Of The Blondes

Aired: June 23, 2009

The girls were taken to Toronto’s Masonic Temple, home of MTV, where they met “After Show” hosts Dan Levy and Jessi Cruickshank, who were about to give them some media training.After hearing some tips on how to promote themselves and how to master the art of redirecting a question from a reporter, each girl was called up individually and asked a scandalous fake question to see if they could talk their way out of it. Maryam was up first and was asked about being in a “sex tape.”A shocked Maryam didn’t realize the questions were fake and asked if it was actually true. The other girls couldn’t contain their laughter and Dan had to explain that the questions weren’t real.Nikita was next and was asked about her bad girl image. She replied by saying she knows she talks like a sailor.Meaghan was told she was seen doing cocaine backstage but replied that it may have been from a photo taken years ago.Heather was asked about her “baby bump” and she said it was due to eating a large meal.Linsay was asked about mistaking Karl Lagerfeld as a publicist and she said she didn’t get a good look at him.Rebeccah was asked about how she handled posing with another woman naked from the waist up in her latest campaign. Rebeccah said she wasn’t uncomfortable with it because she was a lesbian. The other girls were surprised, not because she was, but because she actually came out and said it.When the challenge was over, Jeanne Beker came out to tell the girls they would be put to the test at Toronto Fashion Week! The girls had only 10 minutes to get ready and were driven off in a limo.

The girls were taken to opening night of Toronto’s LG Fashion Week to face the media, while Jeanne secretly watched from behind the scenes.Nikita said she had a bit of an anxiety attack when they first arrived and saw all the people.After watching a runway show, the girls were interviewed on the red carpet by MuchMusic’s Trevor Boris and etalk’s Lainey.They were grilled about what they were wearing, about being a role model, about whether it was important for models to be thin, and whether they could name any Canadian designers.Trevor thought Meaghan and Rebeccah did the best, but Jeanne chose Nikita as the challenge winner. She received a $4,000 shopping spree at Holt Renfrew.

The girls walked over to Tryst nightclub where they met Nolé Marin and Yasmin Warsame.Nolé explained they would be working with an LG Secret mobile phone in their next photo shoot and would be paired off to try and steal the spotlight from each other. The pairs would be Nikita and Rebeccah, Maryam and Linsay and Heather and Meaghan.Yasmin posed for some photos first to show the girls how it was done.The finalists were introduced to their photographer Dan Lim as Nikita was whisked off for her Holt Renfrew shopping spree.Maryam and Linsay were up first. Maryam struggled with being natural. Nolé thought Linsay needed to step up her game this week and figured Maryam probably got the shot.Meaghan was nervous before the shoot about posing with Heather.Nolé thought while Meaghan did well, he didn’t know if she did better than Heather.Meanwhile, Nikita met her personal shopper Marlo at Holt Renfrew.When Nikita got back it was time for her shoot with Rebeccah.Nolé thought he got the shot from Rebeccah but it was a little troublesome trying to get there.Back at the loft, Nikita hammed it up while Rebeccah got really quiet and the girls expressed concern about her.

The next day, a ‘Jay Mail’ informed the girls it was time for eliminations.

The girls were called up in pairs, according to their photos.

Nikita and Rebeccah were up first. Dan said he was drawn to Nikita’s face and Jay said she gave the “pretty ugly” look. Jeanne didn’t love her body position. Jay called Rebeccah’s face the “ugly pretty” but Mike thought her body position was more elegant. Jeanne said sometimes she’s feeling more actress than model from Rebeccah. Jay said a model knows how to bring actress into a photo but keep it pretty.

Heather and Meaghan were up next. Jay told Meaghan he had a tough time finding a shot of her because they were all so good. Yasmin thought she made the dress look beautiful and it was all about her. Dan said Meaghan was great to work with. Jay told Heather he thought Meaghan might have stolen her spotlight. Mike said Heather had a beautiful shot but she missed the point of the exercise.

Maryam and Linsay were up next. Jeanne thought Linsay looked phony because people usually don’t have their eyes wide open when they’re laughing with their heads thrown back. When Jay asked Dan what Linsay was like to work with, he said she got lost in the crowd a bit. Mike thought Maryam’s picture was completely believable and Jeanne thought she did a great job. Jay liked this other side of her – smiling in a photo.

During deliberations, Mike thought while Rebeccah gave some thought to her body language and liked the quality of her face, her actress skills were not translating into model skills. Jay couldn’t believe Nikita had $4,000 worth of designer clothes sitting in her closet and walked into eliminations looking like a “schlob.” Jeanne said she wasn’t sure if she saw her as an international runway model. Dan thought Meaghan looked gorgeous and sold the dress and phone, but Jeanne thought as beautiful as she is, has a look she’s seen before. Mike thought Linsay lacked an awareness of her body and should’ve stepped up by now. Jay wondered when she was going to find her legs. Yasmin didn’t think Heather did justice to anything but Mike liked the way she was posing and thought she was elegant. Jay asked when the ‘Hunchback of Notre Dame’ became elegant. Yasmin thought Maryam stole the spotlight and Jay thought she was always in her own world. Jeanne said fashion waits for no one.

The girls were called back in and Meaghan received photo of the week while Linsay and Rebeccah landed in the Bottom 2.Jay told them they both brought an ‘extreme’ to their photo that didn’t serve the creative nor LG, the client.In the end, it was Rebeccah who was eliminated.

  • First call-out: Meaghan DeWarrenne-Waller
  • Guest Judge: Dan Levy
  • Bottom Two: Rebeccah Wyse & Linsay Willier
  • Eliminated: Rebeccah Wyse

Bright Lights - No Pity

Aired: June 30, 2009

The girls arrived home after panel and are welcomed by a Jay Mail, which told them that he was high on a tower. Much to Nikita's dislike, the girls went up to the top of the tower by elevator, where Nikita explained that she was afraid of heights. At the top, Jay said the view reminded him of the view from his apartment in New York, and surprised the girls by saying that they could see his apartment for themselves, as they were going to New York City. All of the girls except for Maryam screamed with excitement when they learned they would be going on go-sees and meeting designers, but Maryam told Jay she still didn't have her passport; it was coming. Jay explained how last time, when the others went to the Bahamas, he provided Maryam with a special mock photo shoot, but this time, in fairness to the other girls, he couldn’t do that and she would be staying in Toronto.

The four girls arrived to the bright lights of the Big Apple and found out they'd be staying in the Presidential Suite at the Sheraton New York hotel. A Jay Mail informed the girls they only had two minutes to get out the door and would be heading on their go-sees, leaving them no time to unpack. Jay told them that they would have $100 spending cash, a map, their portfolios and an LG cell phone with their first appointment and a number to text to find out the location of their next one.

At first, all of the girls struggled to find a taxi, not knowing how to flag one down. Meaghan upset Nikita twice: first when she took a taxi she had already flagged down, and second when she was already at a location when Nikita arrived. Heather also did poorly, having forgotten her high heels at the apartment and only having boots. Linsay changed into her pants in the taxi. Meaghan left her portfolio at the previous agency and didn't have it for her current go-see, but the designer told her that he knows when he sees a girl who photographs well, and feels that Meaghan is a good photograph model.

Linsay and Meaghan arrived back at the agency first, followed by Heather. Nikita struggled to return back by 5:00, having traveled part of the way on foot until there were no more buildings and then paying $40 to hitchhike back. However, she arrived back at the agency late.

Elmer Olsen from Elmer Olsen Models, one of the sponsors of this cycle's prizes, came out, surprising the girls. He explained to Nikita that being late makes a really bad impression, and announced that two girls were very close to winning. In the end, Meaghan won the challenge for her strong look and runway walk. Linsay placed in a very close second, followed by Heather and Nikita in the bottom 2.

They met Nolé Marin on a rooftop at 230 Fifth, which overlooked the New York City skyline, for the next photoshoot, who was joined by Sutan, the lead makeup artist on America’s Next Top Model. The girls learned that they would be doing two shoots this week, two different alter egos, which would be compiled into one photo. In the first shot, the girls would have to imagine themselves as being a different geeky crew member, and in the second they had to imagine themselves as a diva.

Model Geeky Crew Member Alter Ego
Heather Makeup Artist
Linsay Hairstylist
Meaghan Wardrobe Stylist
Nikita Photographer

The girls worked to get into character for the geeky alter ego, and played with the geeky glasses that were a part of the wardrobe. All of the girls did a decent job. For the diva alter ego, the girls had extreme makeup and wigs dyed by Perfect 10, with hair colors different to the hair they had. All of the girls managed to pull off a great shot, while Linsay impressed Nolé by really thinking about her poses and how they would look compiled together. Back in Toronto, Maryam worked hard to make up not participating in the photoshoot. She called a friend who was a photographer, and did a photo shoot with a gecko.

After the photo shoot, the girls received a ‘Jay Mail’ telling them they had a $5,000 Visa card to spend in New York. They decided to split it four ways, and went shopping on Bleecker Street, and out to a nice restaurant for a dinner out.

Back in Canada, the girls were judged on their photos. Linsay impressed the judges with her strong performance at the go-sees, and for her good photo. Meaghan, Nikita and Heather also told they had good photos; Meaghan was praised for winning the go-sees, while Heather and Nikita were told they did the worst, and failed to impress very many of the designers. When Maryam was called up, she explained to the judges about the situation with not having her passport and finding a friend to help her do a photo shoot. She presented them with a photograph in an envelope, Jay said she would be evaluated on her body of work, and told her that she was definitely at a disadvantage due to missing out on the experience of traveling and meeting designers, a major part of being in the fashion industry, but thought her actions demonstrated how badly she wanted to be in the competition and the business.

After the deliberation, Linsay was called first and got photo of the week, for commanding the room during her go-sees and for her strong photo. Meaghan was called next. Jay told the remaining three girls that the judges debated over the situation over Maryam not having a passport. The judges found Maryam's body of work strong enough for her to stay in the competition, and presented her with a blank photo, meaning that there would be no photo from this week to be added to her portfolio. Nikita and Heather landed in the bottom 2, not for their pictures, which Jay explained were not bad, just OK, but for their preformances in New York. In the end, Heather was eliminated. After her elimination, Heather said that she was a little bit relieved, because after her experience in New York, she realized that modeling was not what she wanted to do.
