America’s Next Top Model 5
TX: Tuesday 7 October at 9pm
Hot and steamy kisses make this exhilarating episode of America’s Next Top Model a must watch. The
final 13 contestants are whisked away to their new Los Angeles home where they will be living for the
duration of the competition.
On their way to their new residence, the modelettes are given a bus tour of the city and shown where all
the celebrities live. It’s straight onto the runway, as the contestants are introduced to the media at a
launch party. All the judges are in attendance to watch the girls perform in the spotlight. When all the
wannabes have to strut on the catwalk, one contestant repeatedly trips.
Meanwhile, in the limo ride home, the action heats up as one competitor dives in for a kiss with another
model.
In this week’s photo shoot, everyone is transformed into a superhero. The models are expected to
encapsulate the energy of a hero. Who has a graceful pose and who falls flat on their face?
But most importantly, who will be going home with disappointed supermodel dreams?
