What Happens in Vegas [12.1]

Sandra: [in confessional] I'm an African Queen!

Sandra: [in confessional] Angelea was over there close to me jumping me up and down, poking me with her long nails.

Tyra: [to Allison] There's one thing that you say is beautiful, and it's unfair that you've never had one. What is that?

Allison: [to Tyra] Nosebleeds.

Tyra: [to Allison] What does that mean?

Allison: [to Tyra] I have a really big fascination with blood. And I just think it looks really pretty.

Tyra: [to Allison] I used to get them all the time as a child.

Allison: [to Tyra] Jealous!

Tyra: [to Kathryn] Tell me five working models.

Kathryn: [to Tyra] Elle Macpherson.

Natalie: [to Tyra] Oh my gosh!

Tyra: [to Natalie] Tell me. You've grown up pretty... cushy! Cushy life.

Natalie: [to Tyra] Never had to work a day in my life.

J Alexander: [to Natalie] Is it by choice?

Natalie: [to J Alexander] Yeah.

Tyra: [to Natalie] So your family's wealthy?

Natalie: [to Tyra] I would say like we're on the super-rich end but...

Tyra: [to Natalie] Not Gossip Girl?

Natalie: [to Tyra] No

Tyra: [to Natalie] More like 91210.

Natalie: [in confessional] My family never had any financial problems. I was pretty spoilt as a child.

Jessica: [to Tyra] I've never been called ugly.

Isabella (Kelly Marie): [to Tyra] Hello!

Tyra: [to Isabella (Kelly Marie)] You're so fresh!

Isabella (Kelly Marie): [to Tyra] Well thank you!

Aminat: [in confessional] I'm tall.

Celia: [about Sandra's walk] She gets up on that runway, and I'm like, "Girl, what are you doing?" Have you not been practicing this since you were in the fetus? No? Really? I have!

Sandra: [in confessional about Angelea] Crazy Angelea was trying to pick fights with me.

Sandra: [to Angelea who is standing next to Aminat and starts rolling her eyes with Celia in the background] Who are you rolling your eyes at? Do you have an eye problem?

Angelea: [to Sandra] Why are you smiling?

Sandra: [to Angelea] Me too! Because I can!

Angelea: [to Sandra] Why are you smiling?

Sandra: [to Angelea] Because I can! [laughs]

Angelea: [in confessional about Sandra] Sandra looked at me and she's like, "Now you want to roll your eyes?" Like, you know, like... don't get me started!

Sandra: [to Angelea whilst the other casting girls including Teyona and London take notice of the fight] Long nails!

Angelea: [to Sandra] So what?! So what?!

Sandra: [to Angelea] You don't have any class whatsoever.

Angelea: [to Sandra] I got class! [Jessica appears]

Sandra: [to Angelea] So, therefore, I have no time for you! [dismisses and palms off Angelea and walks away]

Angelea: [to Sandra walking behind in disgust] Ugh!

Sandra: [to Angelea whilst the camera lady takes notice] Oh, yeah! Whatever! Whatever! [to Angelea, pointing] Oh, yeah! Look at them long, ugly toes.

Angelea: [to Sandra, pointing] Bitch, you got ugly ass corns!

Sandra: [to Angelea] Yeah, that's why I'm beautiful!

Angelea: [about Sandra to Fo and Teyona] Bitch needs a perm! That's what she needs!

Sandra: [to Angelea] I don't care! I do not care! [in confessional about Angelea] I will not let anyone in this competition intimidate me. If she comes at me wrong, I'm going to stand up for myself. I'm not going to try and be your friend.

Jay: [to Sandra and Angelea] Why are you fighting?

Angelea: [to Jay about Sandra] This bitch is trying to try me!

Sandra: [to Angelea] I don't care about you. I'm not here for you.

Jay: [to Sandra and Angelea] You couldn't just turn a blind eye? Really?! Regardless of what she did, and I don't even know what she did, let's just get you up and do your photoshoot.

Angelea: [to Sandra] Goddess of love. I'm Venus.

Tyra: Felicia or shall we say Fo?

Tyra: [to Aminat] The first name I am going to call is... Aminat! [Aminat cheers] How do you feel to be called first? [Aminat cheers] The next name I am going to call is... Natalie!

Natalie: [to Tyra] Oh my gosh!

Tyra: [to Isabella (Kelly Marie)] Isabella!

Isabella (Kelly Marie): [to Tyra] Oh my gosh! Thank you so much!

Tyra: [to Sandra] Sandra!

Sandra: [to Tyra] Thank you so much! [intentionally bumps into Angelea]

Angelea: [to Tyra] I'm going to be back Tyra. [in confessional about Sandra after getting eliminated] Sandra don't belong in that house. No! She don't! I can't go back to Buffalo.

Fun and Games [12.2]

London: [in confessional] Holy cow, out of thousands and thousands of girls who auditioned for this I ended up being part of the thirteen. I still have no words. There should be a word for "Holy cow, this is really happening."

Isabella (Kelly Marie): [in confessional] I've been living in a small town my entire life. I am so excited to be in New York City, in the fashion capital of the world. I can actually say to myself "I'm a model."

Sandra: [in confessional] I have personality and I look like a model.

Sandra: [in confessional stating the reason she is in this competition] I'm here to be America's Next Top Model!

Celia: [to Allison whilst moving Sandra's purse off of the bed] Whose purse is that?

Allison: [to Celia] Sandra's.

Sandra: [walks into the bedroom and then walks back out] Celia! [in confessional] I am so pissed off!

London: [to Isabella, Allison and Celia in the kitchen] Strawberries!

Sandra: [to Celia] There's a problem. I think there are only twelve beds!

Celia: [to Isabella, Allison and London in the kitchen] Girls, there's only twelve beds!

London: [to Sandra, Isabella, Allison and Celia in the kitchen] No way!

Sandra: [to Isabella, Allison, Celia and London in the kitchen] Yeah. There's only twelve beds! I'm just going to keep the bed I picked first. I'm sorry! [hugs Celia and Kortnie appears from behind]

Celia: [to Sandra in the kitchen] No girl! Wait, but I get dibs on beds!

Sandra: [to Celia in the kitchen] I know. I know. But, there's only twelve beds! So...

Celia: [to Sandra in the kitchen] That's my bed!

Teyona: [to Aminat, Natalie, Fo, Allison, Celia, Kortnie, Tahlia, Nijah, Isabella, Jessica and London about Sandra being left with no bed] Sandra ain't got no bed!

Aminat: [in confessional about Sandra] Sandra why are you acting like this?! I'm trying to understand you but right now you're turning me off!

London: [in confessional about giving up her bed for Sandra] I just stepped in as the pacifist. Honestly, I really know that I'll have a bed eventually.

Miss. J: [to Sandra, Teyona, Aminat, Natalie, Fo, Allison, Celia, Kortnie, Tahlia, Nijah, Isabella, Jessica and London] Girls, your modeling education starts now.

Sandra: [in confessional describing runway walk] Right now I would rank my runway walk to be an 8... 9. Like it's not there yet but it's better than the other girls.

Aminat: [in confessional about Sandra's runway walk especially only going halfway] Sandra her walk in the fashion show was really bad. You got to show the garment off and she didn't!

Celia: [to Isabella, Kortnie and Allison about Sandra downstairs in the living room around the runway] I understand her point of view; it's 10:30 but if you're going to say something you should have said it earlier.

Isabella (Kelly Marie): [to Celia, Kortnie and Allison about Sandra downstairs in the living room around the runway ] Say it nicely.

Celia: [to Isabella, Kortnie and Allison about Sandra downstairs in the living room around the runway ] What did she say like, "I don't mean to be mean but it's time for your stupid conversations to...

Isabella (Kelly Marie): [to Celia, Kortnie and Allison about Sandra downstairs in the living room around the runway] Yeah! It's like if you don't mean to be mean then don't be mean! [in confessional about Sandra] Sandra is a conflicting force in this house and I really hope she tones down whatever she's got going on.

Sandra: [in confessional about the other twelve girls] It's not about friendship. This is a competition and I'm here to win it. I will knock the girls down. One by one without even touching them because I'm Sandra!

Sandra: [in confessional about Aminat] Aminat she may be tall but she's just a regular girl.

Aminat and Teyona: [reading the Tyra Mail out loud to Sandra, Natalie, Fo, Allison, Celia, Kortnie, Tahlia, Nijah, Isabella, Jessica and London] Tomorrow you will meet with the judges. Only twelve of you will continue on in hopes of becoming America's Next Top Model. One of you will be eliminated. Love, Tyra.

Tyra: Once there lived a supermodel who wanted to guide a future girl, so she broke out the rules to own your inner fierceness.

Sandra: [to Tyra, Paulina, Nigel and J. Alexander about only walking halfway on the runway at the fashion show] I thought I stopped at the right place but apparently I did not.

Nigel: [to Tyra, Paulina and J. Alexander about Sandra] We're looking for America's Next Top Model, so you've got to step out and you've got to step out now.

Tyra: [to Allison] Congratulations.

Allison: [to Tyra] Thank you. [walks to wrong spot and Isabella and Teyona point to correct spot]

Tyra: [to Allison] Where are you going? You just lost your mind! You just got so excited! Don't you watch Top Model?

Allison: [to Tyra] Embarrassing.

Tyra: [to Fo] Runner up for best photo is... [flips over Fo's photo second] ...Fo. [Fo comes to collect her photo] Congratulations, Fo.

Fo: [to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra: [to Celia] Celia. [Celia comes to collect her photo] Miss. Hula Hoop. [flips over Celia's photo fifth]

Celia: [to Tyra] Thank you so much.

Tyra: [to Nijah] The next name I am going to call is... [flips over Nijah's photo sixth] ...Nijah! [Nijah comes to collect her photo] Congratulations.

Nijah: [to Tyra] Thank you! [joins Allison, Fo, Teyona, London and Celia, Tyra flips over Kortnie's photo seventh]

Tyra: [to Kortnie] Kortnie! [Kortnie comes to collect her photo] Congratulations.

Kortnie: [to Tyra] Thank you!

Tyra: [to Sandra, Isabella and Jessica] The next name I am going to call is... [flips over Jessica's photo eleventh] ...Jessica! [Jessica comes to collect her photo] Congratulations, Jessica. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

Jessia: [to Tyra] Thank you!

Tyra: [to Sandra and Isabella in the bottom two] Will Sandra and Isabella please step forward. [Sandra and Isabella come forward] Two lovely ladies stand before me but I only have one photo in my hands. Isabella, you're that beautiful girl next door with that beautiful spirit, but when got on that set and I don't know what you're doing. You were lost and then we have Sandra. On that runway, you were the biggest disappointment for Miss J. and then we go "Okay, maybe first fashion show." Then we get your photo and that was disappointing as well. So who says in this competition? [flips over Sandra's photo twelfth and last] Sandra, you need to find yourself. [Sandra comes to collect her photo, Kortnie is in shock]

Sandra: [to Tyra] Thank you. [referring to her performances in the fashion show and photoshoot] I'm so sorry about that.

Tyra: [to Sandra] It's important to be creative with the creative. I came up for you to do this thing and play this game and you just stood there. Congratulations. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

Sandra: [to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra: [to Isabella] Isabella, you are such a sweet girl but you need to go home and practice.

Isabella (Kelly Marie): [in confessional after getting eliminated first] So, first elimination tonight. I didn't see it coming but I'm a model and you get some jobs and you don't get some jobs. I didn't book this job, so I'm going to go and get signed by an agency and get my career going. [photo from panel is shown] So goodbye for now. You'll be seeing me around. [outside the front door of the Upper East New York townhouse, going down the stairs with her suitcase and Isabella fades from Cycle 12 group because she is now eliminated and only twelve girls remain]

Do You Light the Way I Look? [12.3]

Aminat: [in confessional about Sandra staying over Isabella (Kelly Marie)] I'm mad Isabella went home. Sandra should have gone home.

Tyra Banks: [in a repeat scene of Sandra staying over Isabella (Kelly Marie), Sandra receives the last photo] Sandra you need to find yourself. [Sandra collects photo and joins the other girls and Aminat gives a slight look of disapproval]

Aminat: [back to the present in confessional about Sandra staying over Isabella (Kelly Marie)] If she was the one sent home, she wouldn't have gotten a hug from anyone. Not anyone of us. It would have just been like, "Bye, bitch!" [to Sandra] Do you think you come off bitchy?

Sandra: [to Aminat] I stand up for myself. You may think that it's me being a bitch.

Aminat: [to Sandra] No! I feel like every single person in this house was sad that she (Isabella) went home. The better person went home today.

Sandra: [looking stunned at what Aminat just said] If you feel like she (Isabella) went and she was better than me, it's whatever. That was the choice they made. [in confessional about Aminat wanting Isabella (Kelly Marie) to stay] "The better person went home?" Okay. We'll see. I don't care what they think. At the end of the day, it's all about me. [Sandra goes to her room] Bitch.

Sandra: [in confessional about her makeover] At first I was like "wow". I didn't really know that I could look this good. The other girls, you know, they need to step up their game.

Sandra: [in confessional about Fo crying about her makeover] Are you serious? Like I basically have close to no hair and she was crying like a little girl. If you can't take having your hair cut you shouldn't be a model, you know.

Fo: [in confessional crying over her makeover] When I was little, I would hide who I really was and that was...a girl with no money with her mom living off of food stamps but it never felt as ugly til today. I have to hide my hair to feel pretty and this is what's gonna break me in this competition!

Aminat: [in confessional about Sandra being her teammate] When I find out who my teammates are, I was like "Ugh! It's Sandra!" But, I'm not going to let her slow me down we have to win this challenge.

Aminat: [in confessional about winning the team Covergirl makeup challenge with Sandra and Celia] Yes, baby! I was just stoked!

Allison: [in confessional about Aminat drinking alcohol] Aminat is twenty-one. She just wanted to have a drink and then all of a sudden...

Sandra: [to the girls who are drinking alcohol] You guys, don't get drunk! [Teyona and Fo give a look of slight disaproval] Just saying to anyone drinking!

Aminat: [to Sandra] Don't put your two cents in when no one asked for your opinion. [in confessional about Sandra] Sandra got on my nerves. Keep it cute, or put it on mute. [directly to Sandra] There's a difference between silliness and dumbassness!

Sandra: [in confessional about Aminat] You know you want to be America's Next Top Model, but you act so trashy!

Kortnie: [to the other eleven girls] Tyra Mail! Tomorrow you will meet with the judges. Only eleven of you will continue on in hopes of becoming America's Next Top Model. Love, Tyra! Somebody's getting the chop! Chop! Chop!

Fo: [to Aminat] How did your photoshoot go?

Tyra Banks: When beauty is reflected, beauty is perfected.

Tyra Banks: [to Fo during her evaluation] Honestly that makes me question whether or not you should be a model.

Tyra Banks: [to Teyona during her evaluation] A girl gets a really, really strong critique and then she goes, wah, wah, wah!

Paulina: [about Jessica's photo] Disaster! Disaster! Disaster! Ugh!

Tyra Banks: [to Fo after surviving the bottom two] You have to know that that short hair means that Fo's face is fabulous. Congratulations. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. [to Jessica who is just eliminated] Hey, Jessica! [hugs Jessica]

Jessica: [to Tyra Banks] Thank you very much!

Tyra Banks: [to Jessica who is just eliminated] As a model it is your job to look better in your pictures than you do in person.

New York’s Finest [12.4]

Natalie: [in confessional] I like to take risks.

Jill Stuart: I will personally choose pieces from my collection for the winner.

Ann Shoket: And the winner is... Natalie. Despite the twirl!

Natalie: [in confessional] I screwed up and still, my walk proved to be better than theirs. That kinda might be a little intimidating you know?

Fo: Talk to the fool! Talk to him!

Aminat: Ugh! Why are these numbers wrong?!

Celia: [to Sandra] We got to work this!

Sandra: [to Celia] Yeah. We will. We will!

Celia: [to Sandra] We got to do this! [in confessional while Sandra is laughin] Sandra is my partner and we've been chosen to be nannies. I'm a little apprehensive. I don't know how to hold babies or hold them by the foot. I have no clue.

Jay Manuel: [to Sandra] I love the little hand thing Sandra!

Mike Rosenthal: [to London] Give her just a snotty glance over your shoulder. Good! Good!

Tyra: Sometimes getting lost is the only way to be discovered.

Tyra: [to Aminat] Aminat this is your best shoot to date.

Tyra: [to Sandra] Sandra, for me you steal this picture. You're in almost complete profile with the attitude in your face. You make this whole picture come alive.

Jill Stuart: [to Sandra] Sandra looks fabulous!

Tyra: [to Sandra, Celia, Aminat, Fo, London, Allison, Kortnie, Nijah, Teyona, Tahlia and Natalie] So you all posed as groups but only one of you is going home this week and when I call you back I am going to announce which one of you missed the bus! [Sandra, Celia, Aminat, Fo, London, Allison, Kortnie, Nijah, Teyona, Tahlia and Natalie all turn around and leave panel]

[commercial break]

Tyra: [to Nigel Barker, Jill Stuart, Miss. J Alexander and Paulina] So we have these group shots of these girls and we're going to evaluate them individually and then we're going to decide who is getting on that Greyhound bus and not coming back!

[eleven girls return to the panel to receive the verdict for the third elimination]

Tyra: [to Sandra, Celia, Aminat, Fo, London, Allison, Kortnie, Nijah, Teyona, Tahlia and Natalie] Eleven beautiful girls stand before me but I only have ten photos in my hands and these photos represent the ten of you will still be in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. So I will be calling one girl at a time based on how she performed individually in her photo. The girl that performed best will be displayed as digital art and her partner in the picture will be cropped out! [flips over Sandra's photo first] Sandra! [Sandra happily comes down to collect her photo making her way in between Nijah and Teyona] Congratulations. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

Sandra: [to Tyra] Thank you!

Tyra: [flips over Aminat's photo second] Aminat. [Nijah smiles whilst Aminat comes down to collect her photo] Congratulations.

Aminat: [to Tyra] Thank you very much.

Tyra: [flips over Tahlia's photo third] Tahlia. [Tahlia comes down to collect her photo]

Tahlia: [to Tyra] Thanks.

Tyra: [flips over Fo's photo fourth] Fo! [Fo comes down to collect her photo] Congratulations, Fo.

Fo: [to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra: [flips over Celia's photo fifth] Celia! [Celia comes down to collect her photo]

Celia: [to Tyra] Thank you so much.

Tyra: [flips over Kortnie's photo sixth] Kortnie. [Kortnie comes down to collect her photo] The artist. Congratulations. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

Kortnie: [to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra: [flips over London's photo seventh] London. [London comes down to collect her photo] Congratulations, London.

London: [to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra: [flips over Teyona's photo eighth] Teyona. [Teyona comes down to collect her photo]

Teyona: [feeling relived] Hooh!

Tyra: [to Teyona] Hooh! Your hair looks so much better. Congratulations, Teyona.

Teyona: [to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra: [to Allison, Nijah and Natalie] The next name I am going to call is... [flips over Natalie's photo ninth] Natalie. [Natalie comes down to collect her photo] Congratulations, Natalie. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

Natalie: [to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra: [to Nijah and Allison in the bottom two] Will Allison and Nijah please step forward. So you two stand before me for very different reasons. Allison, when you walk into a room people, go "Whoa. That's different, that's interesting, I've never seen that before." So the judges go "Hmm that's something special there." But what we didn't see in your photo was something special there. Is it a fluke that happens in pictures sometimes? Because what they saw today was quite depressing for them and then we have Nijah. What they see in your pictures is a beautiful girl but they're trying to get back to that girl in the first week. That photo was so beautiful, so sparkly, such shine in those eyes, such tension in your body and they wanna see that girl. So who stays? [flips over Allison's photo tenth and last] Allison. [Allison hugs Nijah before coming to collect her photo] I don't think it's a fluke. You just need to find your light and not rely on those pretty big eyes. Congratulations. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

Allison: [to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra: [to Nijah] So you have some hard competition. That's why you're going home.

Nijah: [in confessional after getting eliminated third] I'm disappointed in myself. It hurts, to say goodbye I'm going to miss the girls a lot. This competition has opened my eyes to a lot of things. This is gonna open a lot of doors for me.

Put Your Best Face Forward [12.5]

Sandra: [in confessional about Kortnie] Kortnie, she's just always joking around and everything and I don't think she takes the competition as seriously as some of us. I feel like if you're here to model, be here to model. This is not a comedy show.

Sandra: [in confessional about Celia's prize win and choosing Allison] Celia knows that she can talk Allison into doing whatever she like so that's why she picked Allison. She wants to be greedy and have both dresses for herself.

Tahlia: [to Allison] I want to go home.

Celia: [in confessional about Tahlia] Then leave!

Sandra: [in confessional about the next panel and Tahlia] I'm a little nervous about panel. I feel that my photoshoot, you know, it could have been better but I don't think I will be eliminated. I think Tahlia will be eliminated.

Celia: [to Natalie, Kortnie, London and Allison about Tahlia and Sandra is watching and listening in the bedroom] If she does not go home, honestly we should all fight back.

Kortnie: [to Natalie, Celia, London and Allison about Tahlia and Sandra is watching and listening in the bedroom] She said she doesn't want to be here.

Natalie: [in confessional about Tahlia] Tahlia! When she's doing poorly, she doesn't want to be here. She hates it. But the minute she does well, she's like, "Okay, I want to be here!" and that's what annoys me.

Celia: [to Natalie, Kortnie, London and Allison about Tahlia and Sandra is watching and listening in the bedroom] It's not fair for someone to be here who doesn't want to be here.

Tyra: As a Top Model, you’ll have to travel to many foreign places.

Nigel: [to Natalie whilst evaluating her photoshoot] You look like Keira Knightley.

Paulina: [to Nigel] Oh, yeah.

Tyra: [to the judges in an English accent] Ooh! Doesn't she look like Keira? [to Natalie in an English accent] I think you look absolutely stunning.

Natalie: [to Tyra] Thank you.

Tyra: The girl that performed best will be displayed in your apartment as digital art. The first name that I am going to call is... [flips over Tahlia's photo] ...Tahlia. [Tahlia goes to collect her photo, Sandra stares, Celia looks confused]

Tyra: [to Kortnie and Sandra in the bottom two] Will Kortnie and Sandra please step forward? I only have one photo in my hands. It's interesting that you two stand before me because you guys are both really pretty, pretty girls. With you Kortnie the girl we see in this judging room with such an alertness that even now as I speak you are like this but we look at you're pictures and it's this. And then we look at Sandra. Another pretty girl but the judges are disappointed because they feel that you are just resting on what the Lord and your Momma and Daddy gave you and Benny Ninja reported that your performance was disappointing. So who stays in this competition? [flips over Sandra's photo] Sandra. [Sandra looks stunned, Celia looks furious, Allison looks worried, Sandra goes to collect her photo]

Sandra: [to Tyra whilst feeling relieved] Thank you so much.

Tyra: [to Sandra] You've got to focus. You've got to push. You can't rest on just being beautiful. Congratulations.

Sandra: [to Tyra] Thank you so much.

Tyra: [to Sandra] You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. [Sandra collects her photo and hugs Kortnie before joining the other surviving girls]

Celia: [steps next to Kortnie right after Sandra hugs Kortnie] Tyra, with all due respect, I think there's something you should know about what was said this week by Tahlia. Before you send Kortnie home, I think you should know that Tahlia did express that she did not want to be in this competition anymore and that she did not feel that this was a wise career move on her part. [London and Aminat look at Tahlia] It's quite unfair for someone who doesn't even want to here, to remain in the competition.

Tyra: [to Celia] Do you know what I think is unfair? That you're saying this, and not Tahlia. Tahlia did not say that to me, she did not say that to the judges. So what is truly unfair...is you saying that to me.

Celia: [to Tyra] I apologize.

Tyra: [to Celia] So, the judges have made their decision. Take your place, Celia. [Celia joins the other surviving girls]

Kortnie: [in confessional after getting eliminated] It's depressing. I'm sad to go. I feel like maybe I had potential but maybe I didn't catch up as fast as the other girls. I love all the other girls. They're amazing but Tahlia said she doesn't want to be here. She thinks the competition is a joke but Celia didn't have to do that. I applaud her for standing up for what she believes in but in Tahlia's defense, she didn't get to say anything so I don't know what's going to happen with that. Hopefully, the house won't get too crazy when I leave. [leaves the Upper East New York townhouse with her suitcase and Kortnie fades from Cycle 10 made over group because she is now eliminated and only nine girls remain]

Here’s Your Test [12.6]

Tahlia: [in confessional about Celia's actions at the last judging panel immediately when Kortnie got eliminated and Sandra survived the bottom two for the second time] I'm so angry and I'm so hurt because what happened at panel today was so, like backstabbing.

Celia: [in confessional what happened at the last judging panel immediately when Kortnie got eliminated and Sandra survived the bottom two for the second time] I didn't feel that it was fair that Kortnie was getting eliminated wanting this so bad while Tahlia didn't even want to be there. I do not regret what I did. Absolutely not and if I'm to be sent home then so be it. [Sandra goes upstairs to tell Teyona and Tahlia about Celia, Kortnie, Natalie, Allison and London talking about Tahlia before Kortnie got eliminated and Sandra survived the bottom two for the second time at the last judging panel]

Sandra: [to Teyona and Tahlia] So earlier today I just heard them talking about Tahlia and everything. They were like yeah she said she wants to go home. I didn't think they were going to do anything.

Sandra: [in confessional about Celia throwing Tahlia under the bus at the last judging panel immediately when Kortnie got eliminated and Sandra survived the bottom two for the second time] Celia really should not have done what she did because it was none of her business. If I were Celia I really would be worried about going home.

Teyona: [goes down to the kitchen with Aminat and Tahlia to confront Celia after Tahlia got thrown under the bus at the last judging panel immediately when Kortnie got eliminated and Sandra survived the bottom two for the second time] Can I ask you all like a serious question? Like, serious talk! Don't you really feel like a fool right now? Like, what were your motives for doing that? If you felt that stuff was wrong, you should have said something to her because that makes all of you and me feel like, all of you are fake as hell because you all were plotting with her.

Allison: [to Teyona] Nobody was plotting!

Aminat: [to Celia and Allison] Don't sit there and look like you're confused and you're sad and you don't know what the hell is going on. For you to even conspire with her about that, that really hurts my feelings because I thought you were a better person than that.

Allison: [in confessional] Aminat and Teyona come downstairs and they're just verbally attacking us and reminding me of why I hated high school.

Aminat: [to Celia about trying to save Kortnie] For you to fess up because your girl got sent home?! Like, truly, you disgust me! [to Allison] You disgust me even more, like...

Teyona: [to Celia, Allison and Natalie] Fake as hell! Fake as hell! Fake as hell!

Aminat: [to Allison] ...because I felt, like, I was close to you. Like...

Allison: [to Aminat] Aminat, I haven't done anything!

Celia: [in confessional] Me and Tahlia are literally standing next to each other on the stairs, not even talking to each other when this is our issue and we're just like, kind of watching the fight like, "Uh, shouldn't you all, like, be us right now?" [quietly to Allison telling her to keep quiet] It's just not worth it.

Teyona: [to Allison] Hey! Look! That's your mommy! She's telling you, "Don't talk. Don't talk." Be her mother. Yeah, I'm down here!

Aminat: [to Allison] Go on and talk to her.

Tahlia: [to everyone] I have no problem telling Tyra that home to me right now is the best place in the world because I had to question my motives of being here!

Allison: [in confessional about Tahlia] Tahlia makes this speech from the staircase... and it's a bit too, like, "chicken soup for the teenage soul" for me.

Tahlia: [to everyone referring to her getting the first call out for best photo now at last judging panel which is displayed in the Upper East New York apartment as digital art until the next elimination] Now that I'm actually here and I get to look and finally see my picture, I'm excited and now I know that I actually do belong here!

Natalie: [clapping sarcastically at Tahlia and Sandra and Allison turn their heads] Oh!

Tahlia: [to everyone] I tried very hard.

Natalie: [clapping sarcastically at Tahlia] Bravo!

Tahlia: [to everyone] Very hard...

Natalie: [clapping sarcastically at Tahlia] Bravo!

Tahlia: [to everyone] ... to, like, every single one of you guys.

Natalie: [to Tahlia] That's beautiful. That's beautiful. [in confessional about Tahlia] So when she's doing poorly, she doesn't want to be here. She hates it. But the minute she does well, she's like, "Okay, I want to be here!" and that's what annoys me. [to Tahlia] This is a competition! If you don't want to be here, we're going to try and send you home!

Aminat: [to Natalie with London looking] You consider yourself part of the "we" now because that's what just came out of your mouth. You just said, "we", so you knew what the hell was going on. [in confessional about Natalie] Oh, so you're part of this, too? Alright, you can be in the line of fire, too. [to Natalie] I don't freaking like you and you know what? If I could and if I knew I was going to get sent home, I swear to God I will wipe your place on the floor!

Natalie: [to Aminat] Oh, please! Please do that!

Aminat: [to Natalie] I know you want me to go home!

Natalie: [to Aminat] Yeah!

Aminat: [to Natalie] But you know what?! You know something! You're looking stupid!

Natalie: [to Aminat] Okay, Aminat!

Aminat: [to Natalie] Stupid! Stupid! You're stupid! [coming downstairs]

Natalie: [to Aminat] Please continue what you just said.

Aminat: [to Natalie] [comes to the counter] Let me spell it out for you! [gets in Natalie's face] S-T-U-P-I-D! Stupid! Yeah, keep talking, stupid!

Natalie: [to Aminat] Go on, please.

Aminat: [to Natalie] You're stupid! Stupid! Stupid! You're worth nothing. You'll never be worth anything. You're phony!

Natalie: [to Aminat] Go on, I'm loving it! [in confessional about Aminat] Getting in my face is just proving that you're so immature. Like, I've never had anybody disrespect me like that. [to Aminat] I love this! You keep making yourself look like such an idiot!

Tahlia: [to everyone as she goes upstairs] You all are putting a new meaning to bitches and backstabbing! That is so real! [Natalie has her hands on her hips and just leaves]

Jay Manuel: [to Natalie after her photoshoot] You needed the extra frames. Not going to lie.

Sandra: [to Tyra's photo in the house] You better give me a picture! [in confessional before panel] I just hope I do not get eliminated. I feel like I have done good in the past few photoshoots and I am confident in myself because I worked really hard to be here.

Tyra: You need to paint on your game face, and show the industry your true colors.

Tyra: [to Sandra and Celia in the bottom two] Will Sandra and Celia please step forward. I'll start with you, Sandra. Lovely girl, beautiful pictures, but every single week they're to the side. So this week one of the judges insisted that you have a shot that was straight on, but that was not your strength. So the question is, can you get your head around a straight shot, not a profile... or are you just a one look model. And then we have Celia. Gorgeous pictures from week to week to week, and some of the strongest personal style in this competition. But what the judges saw last week was one of the most non-beautiful things that they have ever seen in the history of America's Next Top Model. Girls have quit, but it was at their own will, and you threw somebody under the bus. So who stays? Celia, hopefully, you learned your lesson.

Sandra: [in confessional after getting eliminated fifth] I'm peeved off. I'm mad. I'm... ugh! I do not deserve to go home. I'm the best out of all the other girls so they're crazy to send me home because I have so much potential. [Sandra's portfolio is shown] I have personality and I look like a model and I'm not going to stop. I'm not going to stop modeling. It's something that will always be with me forever. [outside the front door of the Upper East New York townhouse, going down the stairs with her suitcase and Sandra fades from Cycle 12 made over group because she is now eliminated and only eight girls remain]

Acting Like a Model [12.7]

Aminat: [to Natalie] Go! Go! Go! Go!

Tahlia: [in confessional after elimination] It's a big deal doing something like this

Cycle 12 Rewind [12.8]

Tyra: [voiceover about Sandra during the top 21 photoshoot at casting week in Las Vegas, Nevada] But Sandra was willing to push past whatever stood in her way.

Nijah: [to Sandra with Angelea next to her] How long have you been in front of the mirror for?

Sandra: [to Nijah] Forever, until I'm done!

Nijah: [to Sandra] Exactly!

Sandra: [to Nijah] You have to wait! I'm in front of you. Back there, stay there!

Nijah: [to Sandra] You know what?! What is your problem?! What is your problem?!

Sandra: [to Nijah] You're back there! Be quiet!

Nijah: [in confessional about Sandra] Sandra she had been in the front of the make-up counter like the whole time. [to Sandra] Don't worry about what I got going on.

Sandra: [to Nijah] Shut your mouth!

Nijah: [to Sandra] Yeah, we'll see.

Sandra: [to Nijah] Thank you!

Nijah: [in confessional about Sandra] She had the nerve to tell me to shut up. I was like, "Oh no! Let's not go there!"

Other America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 Top 21 Casting Girls: Oh my goodness! Whatever!

Sandra: [in confessional about Nijah] I'm not really bothered about Nijah! Of course, she's jealous of me so I gave her a piece of my mind!

[during a group discussion when the top thirteen girls are getting to know one another in New York]

Tyra: [voiceover about Sandra and Nijah] With their argument from casting week still fresh, Sandra could not resist provoking Nijah again.

Jessica: [to everyone] Who here is not in college.

Nijah: [raises hand to everyone] I'm not.

Celia: [to everyone] I'm not in college.

Sandra: [to Nijah] College drop out?

Nijah: [to Sandra] No I never went.

Sandra: [to Nijah] Oh.

Jessica: [in confessional] We were all sitting around the runway and we were all talking to each other like saying where we're from and whether we go to college and blah blah blah.

Sandra: [to Nijah] Aren't you plus-size?

Nijah: [to Sandra after Celia and Jessica turn their heads and look at Sandra] No I am not.

Sandra: [to Nijah] You're not?

Nijah: [to Sandra] No.

Sandra: [to Nijah] Are you in the middle or...?

Nijah: [to Sandra] I'm not plus-size.

Sandra: [to Nijah] Oh.

Kortnie: [in confessional about Sandra] Here's the mystery with Sandra. We're trying to figure out if she knows that she's doing and she just kind of is like evil or maybe she's like "Oh my God! Maybe I didn't know that I was doing that!"

Jessica: [to Nijah] You're not plus-size at all.

Nijah: [to Jessica] Yeah.

Jessica: [to Nijah] You just got a booty!

Nijah: [to Jessica] Thank you! Thank you! [in confessional] I have had a little confrontation with Sandra already, stuff that happened back in Vegas. [in a repeat scene of the casting girls doing their makeup when talking to Sandra] So don't worry about what I got going on. Yeah, alright!

Sandra: [to Nijah in the same repeat scene of the casting girls doing their makeup] Shut your mouth!

Nijah: [to Sandra in the same repeat scene of the casting girls doing their makeup] Yeah, we'll see.

Sandra: [to Nijah in the same repeat scene of the casting girls doing their makeup] Thank you!

Nijah: [back to the present in confessional about Sandra] And she's been getting into it with not only me but with a lot of the other girls. [to Sandra] Anything else you wanted to know why I'm not in school right now, right?

Sandra: [to Nijah] Oh, no. No, I'm good.

Nijah: [to everyone] I am not a college drop out. I graduated high school and I'm class of 08.

[girls applaud and cheer on Nijah, Sandra gives a straight face and then smiles]

Sandra: [in confessional about Nijah] My first goal is to get Nijah out of here because I really can't stand her. [view of New York city]

Tyra: [voiceover about Nijah confronting Sandra] Later, Nijah confronts Sandra giving her the opportunity to explain herself. [Sandra and Isabella are unpacking and sorting out their belongings in the bedroom]

Jessica: [to Sandra] If you care about being the bitch of the house of whatever you can go...

Sandra: [to Jessica] I don't want to be.

Jessica: [to Sandra] You can straighten it out with her.

Sandra: [to Jessica with Teyona standing opposite and acknowledging] I don't want to be. I don't think it's a good look.

Jessica: [to Sandra about Nijah] Nijah, she felt bad when she asked you.

Sandra: [to Nijah] Like I really felt bad. [smiling] Like I hope you don't feel like oh she's...

Nijah: [to Sandra] I understand that you might want to get to know me but there are certain ways you can go about asking me. You know what I'm saying?

Sandra: [to Nijah] I mean if you feel like I offend you in any way just come tell me. You don't... You don't need to feel bad or anything. I'm

Nijah: [in confessional] Sandra feels that she needs to make everybody feel intimidated by her but no Sandra does not intimidate me at all.

Sandra: [to Nijah] So if you have a problem just...

Nijah: [to Sandra] And the same goes for you and if you have any other questions.

Sandra: [to Nijah] I will! I will!

London: [to Sandra and Nijah] Um, I have a problem.

Sandra: [to Nijah] Bye!

Nijah: [to London] What's your problem?

London: [to Nijah] Nothing! [walks away]

Tyra: [to Isabella] Isabella, you are such a sweet girl.

Sandra: [in confessional about Aminat] Aminat she just doesn't act like a lady. Sorry, America! I just picked my nose on TV!

Sandra: [in confessional about Celia's prize win and choosing Allison] Celia knows that she can talk Allison into doing whatever she like so that's why she picked Allison. She wants to be greedy and have both dresses for herself.

Tyra: [voiceover about Sandra shouting at Celia and then at Allison] But what you never saw was how Sandra reacted to Celia's actions.

Sandra: [to Celia about what she said to Tyra regarding Tahlia not wanting to be in the competition anymore after Kortnie got eliminated with Allison, Natalie and London sitting in the same room] You know how I feel about this whole thing? It's none of your business.

Celia: [to Sandra about Tahlia] It is my business if she's taking a spot in this house when her heart's not in it, and other people's are.

Sandra: [to Celia] It's just none of your business. [Natalie laughs out loud in the background] The only person that should have said something was Kortnie.

Allison: [to Sandra] You're contradicting yourself right now because you're saying that it's nobody else's business but Tahlia's, but then you're saying if anyone should have said something it was Kortnie.

Sandra: [to Allison] Yeah, not Celia!

Allison: [to Sandra] You don't have to raise your voice.

Sandra: [to Allison] I said not Celia! I do have to raise my voice because it's not getting through your head!

Allison: [in confessional about Sandra] I don't understand Sandra sometimes. She just wants to come off like she's dumb. Maybe it's just the language issue? [to Sandra] You're just restating something you already said that I quoted.

Sandra: [to Allison] I am not restating something! Do not go there with me! Do not go there with me!

Allison: [to Sandra] I don't know where I'm going. [Natalie laughs out loud in the background]

Sandra: [to Allison] Do not go there, because I'm not the one that you play with! Do not go there with me, okay?! [points at Allison] Don't you go there with me! [points and comes closer to Allison]

Celia: [in confessional about Sandra] We don't understand Sandra because the second you start rushing your words or using bigger language, she goes crazy. Like, she starts, like malfunctioning. [Later...]

Sandra: [to Celia] You are twenty-five years old. Twenty-five!

Celia: [to Sandra] How old?

Sandra: [to Celia] You're twenty-five years old! [Natalie laughs out loud in the background] You act so, so immature. Grow up! [leaves the room]

Celia: [in confessional imitating Sandra] You're twenty-five! You're twenty-five! I can't fight with her. I can't even argue with her. I'm just, like, dumbfounded.

Tyra: [voiceover about Sandra] Sandra's shouting left the others confused and amused. [Sandra goes to the upstairs room]

Allison: [to London, Natalie and Celia whilst all cooking in the kitchen downstairs about Sandra] I've been so nice to Sandra and it's, like... [placing hand in face imitating Sandra] Right in my face, "You don't want to go there!" and I was, like "Where am I going?!"

Sandra: [in a repeat scene of Sandra shouting and pointing at Allison] Don't you go there with me! [points and comes closer to Allison] I'm not the one to play with! [Natalie laughs out loud in the background]

Allison: [in confessional about Sandra] Sandra, it's hard for me to talk to her on a human level because she just doesn't seem to grasp any situation really.

Celia: [imitating Sandra to Allison, London and Natalie] You're twenty-five... You're twenty-five! [Allison laughs]

Sandra: [to London, Natalie, Allison and Celia from the staircase] Are you still talking?

Celia: [to Sandra] No we were saying...

Allison: [to Sandra] No, we were talking about what you wanted and we're like "You're twenty-five! You're twenty-five!"

Celia: [to Sandra] You're twenty-five! You're twenty-five!

Sandra: [to Celia] Yeah, because I feel like you're immature for your age. [walks away]

Allison: [in confessional about Sandra] Sandra makes me lose hope when I talk to her.

Celia: That's okay. [laughs]

Tyra: [voiceover about Sandra] Though often misunderstood by the other girls Sandra never waivered from her mantra regarding the competition.

Sandra: [to Natalie] I feel like you shouldn't worry about what other people say to you.

Natalie: [to Sandra] Yeah.

Sandra: [to Natalie] Why am I here? I'm here to be America's Next Top Model.

'[rewinds and a caption in yellow font appears on the screen saying "Just in case you didn't catch that...", rewinds again and a caption in yellow font appears on the screen saying "Once again, here's why Sandra is here"]

Sandra: [in confessional wearing multiple outfits at different times] I'm here for one thing. I'm here to be America's Next Top Model. I cannot forget why I'm here. [outfit changes] I'm here for one, one goal. I'm here to be America's Next Top Model. [outfit changes] I'm here to be America's Next Top Model. [outfit changes] I'm here to be America's Next Top Model. [nine different outfits are shown] I'm here to win America's Next Top Model. [outfit changes] That's how hungry I am to be America's Next Top Model.

Sandra: [to Natalie] You have friends, that's good, you know.

Natalie: [to Sandra] That's great.

Sandra: [to Natalie] But you shouldn't forget why you're here. That's my like opinion about it. [in confessional about the other girls] I will knock the girls down. One by one because I'm Sandra! [applaud and cheers sound] Thanks!

Toccara: [to everyone] Hey!

Tyra: [voiceover] Toccara's visit touched the cast of Cycle 12 but none more than Sandra who finally opened up and showed some real emotions.

Celia: [to Toccara] Do you already have first impressions about us?

Natalie: [to Toccara] First impressions?

Toccara: [to Sandra] You! You seem closed to me. You're not letting it out. You're not expressing yourself.

Sandra: [to Toccara with Natalie and Teyona looking] I just feel like I'm misunderstood because like in middle school I was like picked on a lot and I just like... It was really hard because... [starts crying and Aminat is in shock whilst Toccara comes over] Like I was picked on a lot and I feel like I need to stand up for myself!

Aminat: [in confessional, about Sandra] "I was picked on when I was younger!" We were all picked on! Like, give me a break! [Sandra is still crying] For you to say that you were picked on when you were younger, In my opinion, I felt as though she was a bully in the house and it's just like "Yo, relax."

Everyone: [to Toccara] Goodnight.

Sandra: [in confessional] I was just trying to protect myself. [getting ready to sleep] Being that, you know I went through a lot in middle school. I'm open to making friends but I'm here to win America's Next Top Model. [night shot of Upper East New York house, later full moon are shown]

Tyra: [voiceover about Sandra's white powder photo] When it came time for elimination the panel was pleased to see Sandra had finally delivered a front-forward shot. [to the panel] It's a straight-on shot, Nigel.

Keith Major: [to Tyra about Sandra's white powder photo] Yeah...

Tyra: [voiceover about Sandra's previous profile photos] Unfortunately there was a reason she'd stuck to her profile in the past. [Sandra's childhood games and nanny photos are shown]

Nigel: [to Sandra about her white powder photo whilst it is displayed on screen] It's just not fashion. It's not beauty. It's just sort or there like, "Hey! It's a picture of me!"

Tyra: [voiceover] So Sandra was sent home. [hugs Sandra]

Sandra: [packing her bags in confessional after getting eliminated] I am disappointed. I'm going to miss being around the girls even though I never talked to a lot of them. [Sandra's portfolio is shown] I feel like I was more, like caught up with the whole competition thing and less caught up about getting to make friends. I guess I should have been, you know, the other way around. [Sandra fades from Cycle 12 made over group because she is now eliminated and only eight girls remain]

Celia: [referring to Isabella in the washroom] That's Isabella's orange.

Take Me to the Photo Shoot [12.9]

Tyra: Music always helps a model find her own rhythm.

The Amazing Model Race [12.10]

Teyona: [in confessional about Celia and Aminat doing the Capoeira in comparisom to the fight that happened after Celia threw Tahlia under the bus at the last judging panel immediately when Kortnie got eliminated and Sandra survived the bottom two for the second time back in New York City] Watching Celia and Aminat do the Capoeira, it's funny to me because they had like a little bit of drama going between them.

Aminat: [to Celia in a repeat scene of the fight that happened after Celia threw Tahlia under the bus at the last judging panel immediately when Kortnie got eliminated and Sandra survived the bottom two for the second time back in New York City] Like, truly, you disgust me!

Teyona: [back to the present in confessional about Celia and Aminat doing the Capoeira] For them to get paired up, it was funny! [During the Capoeira re-enactment between Celia and Aminat, Celia accidentally kicks Aminat in the face and gasps]

Celia: [to Aminat] Ah! Did I hurt you?!

Fo: [in confessional about Celia accidentally kicking Aminat] Celia accidentally does like a roundhouse kick to Aminat's face.

Aminat: [to Celia] Yo, you kicked me dead in the eye!

Celia: [in confessional about kicking Aminat] It was completely on accident, but...tee-hee! That's for calling me disgusting! [to Aminat] Girl, are you seriously okay?

Aminat: [to Celia] Yeah, I'm fine.

Fo: [in confessional about choosing Teyona to lose half her frames for the next photoshoot] I'm glad I totally picked Teyona for this because I know how she can be. Teyona, now you know what it feels like. It's a taste of your own medicine.

Tyra: Once you plant seeds of success, your tree will bear fierce fruit.

Tyra: [to Natalie in shock] For fifty frames?! Did Jay want you to do the same exact thing for fifty frames?!

Natalie: [to Tyra] He did!

Let’s Go See the City [12.11]

Tyra: Work hard, perfect your poses, and life will seem like a day at the beach.

Vanessa Da Silveira: [to Aminat, Allison, Celia, Fo and Teyona] Hi girls! Mr. Borges will not be able to be here, but he asked me to bring you all back to São Paulo Fashion Week headquarters so please follow me, girls.

Vanessa Da Silveira: [to Aminat, Allison, Celia, Fo and Teyona on top of the building] Sorry girls! Celia and Fo! Both of you were late so you're disqualified from this task! There's a cab waiting for you down stairs!

Take Me to the Jungle [12.12]

Celia: [when choosing earings] I think I like the black.

Celia: [in confessional] I'm really happy. I'm just really happy. [in confessional] This has been the best feeling.

Celia: [in confessional] I love modelling. I think it's so much fun.

America's Next Top Model Is... [12.13]

Tyra: [to Aminat, Allison and Teyona at the second last judging panel] And then there were three. This is the most gut wrenching point of America's Next Top Model beacuse at the end of tonight there will only be two finalists.

Tyra: [to Allison and Teyona at the last judging panel] The judges see a little bit something more in one of you. America's Next Top Model is... [Teyona's photo pops up] Teyona!
