America’s Next Top Model Season 13: “Dive Deeper”

LET’S ALL JUMP OFF A CLIFF! — The ladies explore the cliffs of Hawaii and are forced to strike a modelesque pose while jumping into the water. Later the girls learn to pose while deep in the Pacific Ocean. Supermodel Marisa Miller is this week’s guest judge (#1310).

On last week’s episode the girls found their house condemned, with Tyra telling them it was too filthy to live in. However, she soon revealed that the girls were going to Hawaii for the remainder of the competition by throwing a Hawaii-themed party in the yard. Upon arrival, the girls were stunned by their house and Jennifer was freaked out by the fact that her commercial was being played in at least five different rooms.

The girls were then taught how to surf by Buzzy Kerbox. After, they are given a challenge where they had to pose on a moving surfboard with a male model. Erin, Brittany and Nicole excelled, while Sundai and Laura stumbled. Erin was crowned the winner and, despite the rising tension between her and Brittany, picked the latter and Nicole to share a helicopter ride above Maui. While Nicole and Brittany enjoyed it, Erin was upset with not winning a tangible prize yet again.

At their photo shoot, the girls were photographed by Tyra while portraying women of mixed heritage, like Hawaiian hapas.

Most of the girls struggled with the shoot, especially Laura, who was worried about her sunburns. At panel, all the girls but Nicole got mixed reviews, with Sundai being told she photographs short, Erin that she posed in a commercial way, and Brittany that she didn’t step outside of the box. Despite Erin’s second bottom two appearance in a row and her tendency to self sabotage, it is Brittany who was sent home for being too analytical.
