America's Next Top Model, Cycle 5 was the fifth cycle of America's Next Top Model. The judging panel ensemble was altered - Janice Dickinson was replaced by one of the most recognizable models of the 1960s, Twiggy, and Nolé Marin was replaced by runway coach J. Alexander. The cycle's catch-phrase was "Bling It On".
The international destination during this cycle was London, United Kingdom. 19 year-old Nicole Linkletter, from Grand Forks, North Dakota, won the grand prize of an Elle Girl magazine cover, a fashion spread in Elle magazine, a contract for representation with Ford Models, and a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics.
The cast size was reduced from 14 to 13, which was maintained up until Cycle 10. The house that the girls stayed in the first half of the competition was later used for the first season of the VH1 show Rock of Love with Bret Michaels.
Episode Summaries
The Girl With The Twisted Catch Phrase
First aired September 21, 2005
The casting process started out with 36 girls who were then interviewed by Tyra, and the two Jays, after a little pose-off. Notable interviews included Coryn revealing the fact that her mother struggled with depression, Nicole getting on her knees, Bre admitting she rarely showers and Jayla stating she went against her whole education. Nik was quickly judged to be similar to Naima Mora.
After the interviews the contestants were narrowed down to just 20 who were then sent to do a mock runway show. Sarah was the only girl to stumble. After that each girl got one on one time with Tyra, where Ebony's desire impressed Tyra, while Lisa used the time to ask Tyra about Will Smith. The judges deliberated and chose just 13 to be in the running this time.
The Girls Become Superheroes
First aired September 21, 2005
After moving into their new home, the contestants went to a party with celebrities and had to walk a runway, where Sarah, who was given size 10 shoes (she wears a seven) stumbled. Sarah and Kim shared a kiss in the limousine on the way home. The week's photoshoot had a superhero theme. While Nik and Lisa excelled, Ashley was eliminated and shocked because the judges felt that she was not a model and was just trying to get by as a pretty girl.

The Girl Who Needs A Miracle
First aired September 28, 2005
In the makeover episode, Cassandra, a former beauty pageant competitor who was very attached to her long brown hair, was given the most dramatic makeover. Tyra had doubts about whether Cassandra was more dedicated to pageants or modeling, so she decided to test Cassandra's resolve by giving her a very short blonde hairdo similar to Mia Farrow's character in Rosemary's Baby. Despite much consideration, Cassandra went through with the makeover and shone in the next photo shoot, in which each contestant partnered with another contestant of her choice, and the two were photographed separately in the same couture-inspired outfit.
While Cassandra, Kim, Lisa, Nik, Sarah, Coryn, and Nicole shone on their shoots, it was Ebony who was eliminated because of her poor performance in the shoot and lack of dedication to the competition. At panel during Cassandra's evaluation Tyra revealed that she specifically told them to cut her hair like Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby, so she scheduled her hair to be cut shorter.
- Bottom two: Diane Hernández & Ebony Taylor
- Eliminated: Ebony Taylor
- Featured photographer: Craig De Cristo
- Special guests: Louis Licari, Waatani, Lorgh, Latanya, Rob Talty, Erica Howard, James St. James

The Girl Who Makes A Disclaimer
First aired October 5, 2005
Tyra stopped by to see how the girls were doing. Miss J helped the girls with their walks by a pool in the ritzy part of L.A. They donned fun hats and skirts and danced around the pool. Their challenge was to walk on a runway and pose on a turning platform for Sue Wong, which Bre won. After the winning girls went out to eat caviar,and Kim and Sarah made out in one of their beds together (seen on security camera). They also went for a swim together and talked on the lawn chairs. Then the girls posed as fashion victims being chased by Miss J. as a fashion police witch. The shoot was taken on a moving platform in front of a green screen. During the shoot, unwilling to have her hair cut shorter, Cassandra refused this assignment and became the first contestant ever to quit. In panel, the judges told the girls to give their signature walk. Bre impressed the judges with her walk. The judges placed Kim and Sarah in the bottom two. Sarah was eliminated because of her weak photoshoot and awful runway walk.

The Girl Who Gets A Boob Job
First aired October 12, 2005
The girls talked with Twiggy about their flaws and then took a photo shoot to show and hide them. Kyle won the challenge, which was a spa treatment with two friends. She chose Kim and Coryn. Kim expressed that she missed Sarah.
Janice Dickinson, a former panel judge, photographed the remaining contestants in the following plastic surgery-themed photo shoot. Each contestant was photographed as if she had undergone a beauty enhancement procedure gone over the top, as follows:
| Model | Procedure |
|---|---|
| Bre | Cheek Implants |
| Coryn | Botox |
| Diane | Breast Reduction |
| Jayla | Butt Implant |
| Kim | Breast Implants |
| Kyle | Lip Injection |
| Lisa | Face Lift |
| Nicole | Fake Tan |
| Nik | Extreme Hair Extensions |
At panel, Nik, Lisa, and Kyle impressed the judges, but Diane failed to show her personality more and landed in the bottom two together with Bre, who wasn't strong enough to handle criticism (despite a strong photo). In the end Bre was saved and Diane was eliminated due to lack of confidence and inability to own her curves.

- Eliminated: Diane Hernández
- Featured photographer: Janice Dickinson

The Girl Who Loves Bubbles And Talks To Plants
First aired October 19, 2005
The next episode's challenge was to complete a commercial shoot, photo shoot, and press interview, all advertising Secret deodorant, in the space of thirty minutes. Behind the scenes, there was a lot of drama, because Jayla stole Nik's secret, on camera; this caused Nik to lose sight of her objective and ultimately deliver a bad interview. The undeclared prize was that the girl with the strongest photograph would have her picture run as an actual advertisement for the product in print media. The judges agreed that Lisa had the strongest performance this week, but they chose Nicole's photo as the best one, and selected it. Meanwhile Kim and Jayla also did well on both. Bre had a great commercial and interview but her photo was criticized. Nik's lack of focus and poor performance during her commercial landed her in the bottom two with Coryn. Coryn was eliminated because she could not overcome her melancholy demeanor.
- Bottom two: Coryn Woitel & Nik Pace
- Eliminated: Coryn Woitel
- Featured photographer: Jason Willheim

The Girls Who Are 1940s Pin-ups
First aired October 26, 2005
The girls were coached in a black and white photo shoot with Tyra assisting them. They then went to a boot camp where they had to crawl in the mud and then directly (without changing or showering) to a go-see with Elle Girl, a challenge which Lisa won, allowing her to meet and be taught by fashion stylist Todd Hallman. The contestants shot advertisements for Ford Fusion dressed as Vargas "pin-up" girls. Kim and Lisa impressed the judges, while Kyle was eliminated in this round as she failed to be expressive in her face in the pin-up shot and use the potential she had to stand out in photo shoots.
- Bottom two: Bre Scullark & Kyle Kavanagh
- Eliminated: Kyle Kavanagh
- Featured photographer: Richard Dean
- Special guests: Eric Viskovicz, Brandon Holley, Marie Sutter, Lori Trott, Todd Hallman, Ruth Kahn, Rob Talty

The Girl Who Wants To Step On The Pretty Flower
First aired November 2, 2005
This was the recap episode of the season. Revealed during the episode was a bird that almost became the girls' mascot. They named it Mr. Bojangles, and upon Kyle's revelation that the bird kept flying into things, Nicole suggested that all non-domesticated birds were blind. The episode also involved drunk moments with Lisa naming a bush "cousin it". The episode's title was taken from a quote by Cassandra, regarding fellow contestant Kyle - who Cassandra remarked was "like a pretty flower that someone wanted to step on".
The Girl Whose Boyfriend Is Cheating On Her
First aired November 9, 2005
The girls learned some valuable information from Eva, and proceeded to have a challenge in which they had to choose their own entourage. They had to also impress Benny Medina, and Kim won. She got to guest star in an episode of Veronica Mars. For the following week's episode, the final six contestants shot a scene with the Wild Boyz.
| Model | Scenario |
|---|---|
| Bre | Stolen underwear |
| Jayla | Playing with the dog |
| Kim | Pool stunts |
| Lisa | Stolen make-up |
| Nicole | Cheating boyfriend (with Kim) |
| Nik | Stolen dress |
Steve-O's immature personality did not sit well with Bre, and neither did Lisa's proclamation that she was going to urinate in a diaper while on-set. Meanwhile Nik and Kim did well, Bre stepped up and wowed Jay and the judges. Nicole and Jayla failed to impress the judges with their photographs and were called forward as the bottom two. Tyra shocked the contestants by announcing that both girls were "packing their bags", then revealed a picture of the Union Jack. Both girls were still in the running to becoming America's Next Top Model because everyone would be packing their bags to go to London.
This was the first (and to date, only) non recap episode in America's Next Top Model history in which no one was eliminated.

The Girl Who Talks Behind Everyone's Back
First aired November 16, 2005
Soon after the final six arrived in London, they competed in a risqué photo shoot in which all six girls at once posed in a London phone booth wearing only panties, galoshes and a newspaper, as if hiding from the paparazzi. Kim and Bre engaged in a fight after Kim spotted Bre and Jayla talking about her behind her back. Bre retaliated saying that Kim talked about every single person in the house behind their back. Kim denied this comment and Bre referred to her as "an ugly person." At judging, Bre was noted for taking another strong shot. Jayla was in the bottom two because she has done mediocre photographs. Lisa was eliminated for her confidence was perceived as spitfire arrogance, despite taking great photos.

The Girl Who Retaliates
First aired November 23, 2005
For this week's challenge, the girls had to pose as statues in a park. Nicole struggled as pigeons surrounded her, while Nik won, and chose Jayla and Bre for the prize - a shopping spree. The following morning, Bre found that someone had taken her supply of granola bars, which she blamed Nicole for,and retaliated by dumping out all of her Red Bull down the sink. The five remaining contestants then posed as modern interpretations of classical art in an advertisement for Quench body lotion by Olay.
| Model | Recreated Painting |
|---|---|
| Bre | Mona Lisa |
| Jayla | Whistler's Mother |
| Kim | The Birth of Venus |
| Nicole | Girl with a Pearl Earring |
| Nik | Vitruvian Man |
An argument brewed between Bre and Nicole over Bre's stolen "Granola Bars". All of the girls, with the exception of Kim, impressed the judges at panel. Bre and Kim ultimately landed in the bottom, Bre for lashing out against Nicole and Kim for her lackluster photo. Whilst the judges were deciding who was out Bre and Kim fought behind the scenes. Bre claimed that Kim was an "Ugly Person" and had an "Ugly Personality". Despite the fight Kim was eliminated due to a lack of consistency during the competition.

The Girl Who Takes A Pill
First aired November 30, 2005
The girls went on go-sees. They had to dress mod, bollywood, preppy, and punk. Nik won the challenge and chose Nicole to share in the prize. Nicole then picked Jayla. Nik won 100 frames. Nicole won 80 frames. Jayla won 60 frames. Bre only got 50 frames and couldn't see herself before the photo shoot. The girls then split in groups of two (Nik & Jayla, Bre & Nicole) to go see London and Bre and Nicole made up, with Bre even agreeing to compensate Nicole's energy drinks.
The final four were photographed in a Bollywood-inspired shoot to stand out in front of the crowd and reflecting the Indian influence on British fashion in recent years. At panel, Nik and Nicole, once again, wowed the judges, and Jayla was eliminated because, despite her previous strong performance, she did not stand out as well as the other girls in the photoshoot.

The Girl Who Is On The Cover
First aired December 7, 2005
In the season finale, Nik, Bre, and Nicole shot a CoverGirl commercial and stills. While Nik's strong performance was an improvement from her previous showing in the Secret shoot, Nicole struggled. Nik was chosen first to continue on in the final round. Nicole's bad performance in the commercial landed her in the bottom two with Bre, who was sent home because she did not seem as strong as the other two girls.
Nik and Nicole then shot a magazine cover with Tyra Banks, photographed by Gilles Bensimon, knowing that the winner's cover would be published in the February 2006 issue of Elle Girl. They then competed in the final runway competition, in which previous Top Model winners Eva Pigford and Naima Mora participated.
