6th - Cycle 8 (2007)

Well into the golden era we have Cycle 8. This cycle gave us so many big characters its impossible to know where to start.. For casting week the girls had to join a military camp and follow orders from their generals Mr and Miss J. Jaslene returned from cycle 7 casting and gave us some more of her sassy latina personality. Kathleen was an absolute scream and came out with so many 1 liners. Cassandra had that wig sown into her hair Jael (who was half black?!) was all kinds of wacky and then Natasha who had had a baby and gotten married to a 40 year old man and everyone thought she was an online bride



for the first photoshoot the girls had to be 'pro' or 'anti' something. Tyra at the time said this was the weakest first week photoshoot she'd ever seen on the show.. Unfortunately we were robbed of legend Kathleen in the first week.



There was then that infamous fashion show at a high school where Sarahs boobs kept flashing out of her dress

As with great tradition on ANTM, the girls had to do a photoshoot involving death just after one of the girls friends had died Its like they just know! Imo this was one of the best photoshoots from the entire show, I loved the whole concept. This along with the ice cream one, where Cassandra was made to hold a scoop of ice cream for so long that her hand caught hypothermia nnnn

Also another underrated moment from this cycle was when the girls met Benny Ninja for a posing challenge and had to pose their way through security lasers without touching them. Whitney won a bracelet and that week at panel just casually walked up with her arm out showing it off



There was of course that iconic acting challenge where Dionne and Renee won a T-shirt Whitney gave the line "we are on americas next top model and these fools walked up there and got a damn t-shirt"



Speaking of Renee, most of the girls hated her for the first half of the cycle, prompting Tyra to hold an intervention so each girl could tell Renee what their problem with her was. This actually led to a fight between Dionne and Renee shortly after instead



Aside from Dionne, Renee also had an ongoing feud with Brittany after she heard Brittany talking about her through the walls. Brittany and her awful red weave were an ordeal too.. that truly was the worst makeover from the show. Thankfully they eventually removed the weave after Brittany showed Tyra how badly it was pulling her sclap



We also had the celebrity pool party challenge where the girls had to give themselves nicknames and go meet with talent manager Benny Madina. 50 Cent was also at this party and Jael couldn't resist continuously taunting him, eventually leading him to push her in the pool



Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie were also there and tried creating drama with Renee and Jael by telling Jael that Renee had said she hated her on top of all this, the girls also had to have their interviews with Benny, Jael and Natasha both walked in dripping wet and the whole thing was just chaotic! Then when it was Renees turn to meet Benny, she introduced herself as 'Naiyem' and Benny thought she was saying 'name?' and the two kept going back and forth with "name?" "Naiyem." "your name?" "yes"

The final 6 went to Australia where they did the infamous go-sees where Natasha and Brittany were late. Brittany had thought she'd told her cab driver to meet her on different street but hadnt, so when she arrived back she completely lost it.



Natasha gave us this classic


When it got to the final 4, Renee, Dionne and Jaslene all turned on Natasha and wanted to get her eliminated, this backfired and Dionne was sent home. Natasha and Jaslene made the final 2 and Jaslene took the win. Imo this was very deserved, Jaslene had been killing it from the start, I loved Natasha but she wasnt winner material

Post show didnt get much better for some of the girls, Renee ended up involved in drugs and eventually went to prison (where she became a lesbian!) and Jael became heavily addicted to meth and appeared on Dr Phil. She later overcame her addiction but lost her life to cancer in 2018.

Cycle ranking: 9/10
