Cycle 4

Cycle 4 being one of the most explosive cycles, was aired March 2, 2005 through May 18, 2005. This time the contestants found themselves in Cape Town, South Africa. The winner turned out to be 20-year-old Naima Mora from Detroit, Michigan. On the seventh episode the girls' pre-evaluation test, consisted of reading a passage filled with fashion-related jargon, testing their improvisational skills as well as fashion knowledge. One girl named Tiffany did not even attempt the challenge, and gave up. Tyra showed her disappointment in Tiffany, prompting another weak try from Tiffany before she gave up again. This negative response landed Tiffany in the bottom two with Rebecca, whose high fashion appeal pleased the panel, but had clearly struggled with the photo shoot. In the end, both Rebecca and Tiffany were eliminated when Tyra pulled out a blank photo. This was THE ONLY EPISODE in any ANTM cycle in which both girls in the bottom two were eliminated. Tyra then called Rebecca and Tiffany back. While she commended Rebecca on her emotion, she scolded Tiffany for her joking attitude.
