TV Clip: ANTM 10 Episode 1 "Welcome To Top Model Prep"
Welcome To Top Model Prep
35 girls arrive at "Top Model Prep" where they meet Mr. Jay Manuel and Miss J. Alexander. They shoot a class photo before commencing runway lessons with Miss J., where Lauren is seen as the weakest walker. Next, the girls attend a bonfire where the "Homecoming Queen" is going to be announced. The cheerleaders by the stage are revealed to be a few contestants from past cycles. Mr. Jay then announces that the finalists will be taken to New York City. Homecoming Queen turns out to be Tyra, who surprises the girls, coming from behind the curtains. Casting interviews then commence.
In between interviews, a fight breaks out between Shaya and Fatima, but they later make up when the latter reveals that she is a survivor of genital mutilation. Memorable auditions include Stacy Ann's lap dance, Fatima telling the judges about her circumcision, and Claire's confession about drinking her own breast milk so her baby can breastfeed when she returns home.
After the interviews, the girls are pared down to the final 20, where they participate in a senior class photo shoot and have to do their own hair and make up.
Later in the day, Tyra reveals the final 13. When she calls "Aimee/Amy", both advance, and Amy offers to change her name to "Amis" to avoid confusion. When the thirteenth girl is chosen, Tyra mentioned that so many girls had potential, and chooses Dominique as the fourteenth and final finalist.
