America's Next Top Model Cycle 8 Episode 5 Photos

EPISODE 5 CUTE LITTLE FILICIA PACK UP

Felicia, a sales associate from Houston, Texas, was the fourth girl eliminated during the eighth cycle of The CW's hit reality series "America's Next Top Model," reducing the pool from 10 girls to 9.

After being pulled over by what they thought was a traffic cop, the girls were taught the art of posing by vogue instructor Benny Ninja. The girls were pitted against one another in a posing battle to practice how to exaggerate and add movement to their poses.

The following day, their new skills were put to the test when Benny Ninja met them for a unique challenge. Each girl had only 2 minutes to demonstrate their cat-like agility and fabulous poses while slinking though a maze of lasers to collect a key that would open a locked box with the winner's prize inside. Felicia felt very confident during the challenge. "The maze is very easy for me because I got to use my dance background to my advantage," Felicia said. Though Benny noted that Felicia completed the challenge with grace, Whitney was chosen the winner and unlocked the box that held a $40,000 diamond bracelet from Angara.com.

The next day the girls met Jay for their photo shoot, where they were each assigned a crime scene victim to portray. Felicia was confused on how she was supposed to breathe life into her pose of "decapitation by model." While both Jay and photographer and guest judge Mike Rosenthal tried to get her to bring more life to her face, she just wasn't finding the light in her eyes. "It looks like you're taking a nap. We need you to look like you were brutally killed," guest judge Mike Rosenthal said.

During the judging, the judges were impressed by almost all of the photos, but they felt that Felicia's lacked a sparkle that the others portrayed. Nigel noted that acting dead can be one of the most difficult things to do, but he felt that Felicia was walking into the judging panel with a cockiness that she was not delivering in her photos. The judges all agreed that Felicia was a very beautiful girl, but they didn't feel that she was ready to handle the competition. "I think one thing that you need is a little more development," Tyra said to Felicia, before eliminating her from the race to become "America's Next Top Model."

who knew death could look beautiful

[cherryblossum9]

Because death and murder are not something to mess around with and make glamourous.

[sadakochan12]

I really don't understand what is beautiful about these pictures. They glamorize violence against women while advertising clothing. What message does this communicate to young girls? That when your boyfriend abuses you, bruises are sexy? Killing women is something that can be portrayed as sexy?

[bennbed]

This is the best photoshoot ever in ANTM history.

[Indigotemple1]

Sick! It glamorizes violence.
