America's Next Top Model, Cycle 5, billed as "the bling season,"[citation needed] was the fifth cycle of America's Next Top Model. The majority of the season took place in Los Angeles, the same location in which Cycle Four was filmed. 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.

[edit] Episode Summaries
[edit] The Girl With The Twisted Catch Phrase (Part 1) / The Girls Become Superheroes (Part 2)
Referring to Ebony (Part 1)
Original Airdate: September 21, 2005
In the first week, the thirteen girls competed in a superhero-themed photoshoot in which each contestant was suspended in the air to take a 'fierce' photograph. Ashley was eliminated in this episode because, though her photograph was not among the weakest in the group, nor her runway walk, the judges felt that she was not a model and was just trying to get by as a pretty girl.
- Bottom two: Ashley Black & Sarah Rhoades
- Eliminated: Ashley Black
- Featured photographer: Mike Ruiz
- Special guests:: Robin Leach, Nate Dogg
[edit] The Girl Who Needs A Miracle
Refering to Cassandra
Original Airdate: 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 blond hairdo similar to Mia Farrow's character in Rosemary's Baby. Despite much consternation, Cassandra went through with the makeover and shone in the next shoot, in which each contestant partnered with another contestant of her choice, and the two were photographed separately in the same couture-inspired outfit. Ebony, the youngest contestant, was eliminated because of her poor performance in the shoot.
- Bottom two: Diane Hernandez & Ebony Taylor
- Eliminated: Ebony Taylor
- Featured photographer: Craig De Cristo
- Special guests: Louis Licari, James St. James
- CoverGirl of the Week: Lisa D'Amato
[edit] The Girl Who Makes A Disclaimer
Referring to Kim
Original Airdate: October 5, 2005
In the next episode, the girls pose as fashion victims being chased by the fashion police. During the shoot, unwilling to have her hair cut shorter, Cassandra refused this assignment and was the first contestant ever to quit from America's Next Top Model. In panel, the judges placed Kim, this season's only openly-gay contestant, and Sarah, who had become close friends with Kim during the competition, in the bottom two. Sarah was eliminated due to a poor photo, bad runway walk as well as a lack of self-confidence.
- Bottom two: Kim Stolz & Sarah Rhoades
- Eliminated: Sarah Rhoades
- Featured photographer: Mike Rosenthal

[edit] The Girl Who Gets A Boob Job
Refering to Kim
Original Airdate: October 12, 2005
Janice Dickinson, a former panel judge, photographed the remaining contestants in the following plastic surgery-themed photo shoot. Each contestant was photographed as if they had undergone a surgical beauty enhancement procedure gone over the top, such as a Botox injection, breast implants, or breast reduction. The plus-sized model, Diane, was eliminated due to her lack of confidence and over-awareness of her body.
- Bottom two: Bre Scullark & Diane Hernandez
- Eliminated: Diane Hernandez
- Featured photographer: Janice Dickinson
- Special guests: Jay Goldman, Dean Factor, David Factor
- CoverGirl of the Week: Nik Pace
[edit] The Girl Who Loves Bubbles And Talks To Plants
Refering to Lisa
Original Airdate: 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. 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. Nicole's photo was selected. Coryn was eliminated because she could not overcome her melancholy demeanor.
- Bottom two: Coryn Woitel & Nik Pace
- Eliminated: Coryn Woitel
- CoverGirl of the Week: Nik Pace
[edit] The Girls Are 1940s Pin-ups
All girls
Original Airdate: October 26, 2005

- Bottom two: Bre Scullark & Kyle Kavanagh
- Eliminated: Kyle Kavanagh
- CoverGirl of the Week: Nik Pace
[edit] The Girl Who Wants To Step On The Pretty Flower
Original Airdate: November 2, 2005

[edit] The Girl Whose Boyfriend Is Cheating On Her
Original Airdate: November 9, 2005
For the following week's episode, the final six contestants shot with the Wild Boyz. Though 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 would have to "pack their bags" - because everyone would be going to London. This was the first episode in Top Model history in which no contestant was eliminated.
- Bottom two: Jayla Rubinelli & Nicole Linkletter
- Eliminated: None
- Special guests: Kristen Bell, Eva Pigford

[edit] The Girl Who Talks Behind Everyone's Back
Referring to Kim
Original Airdate: 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 paparazzi. At judging, Lisa, arguably the contestant with the most outrageous personality, was eliminated despite taking a strong photograph, because the judges perceived her spitfire confidence as arrogance.
- Bottom two: Jayla Rubinelli & Lisa D'Amato
- Eliminated: Lisa D'Amato
- CoverGirl of the Week: Bre Scullark
[edit] The Girl Who Retaliates
Referring to Bre
Original Airdate: November 23, 2005
In the following episode, the five remaining contestants posed as modern interpretations of classical art in an advertisement for Quench body lotion by Olay. Kim Stolz, who posed as Botticelli's Venus, was subsequently eliminated due to a lack of consistency during the competition.
- Bottom two: Bre Scullark & Kim Stolz
- Eliminated: Kim Stolz
- CoverGirl of the Week: Bre Scullark
[edit] The Girl Who Takes A Pill
Referring to Bre
Original Airdate: November 30, 2005
In the penultimate episode of the cycle, the final four were photographed in a Bollywood-inspired shoot, reflecting the Indian influence on British fashion in recent years. At panel, Jayla was eliminated because, despite her previous strong performance, her more recent series photographs were mediocre, and she had blended into the background of the last shoot.
- Bottom two: Bre Scullark & Jayla Rubinelli
- Eliminated: Jayla Rubinelli
- CoverGirl of the Week: Nik Pace
[edit] The Girl Who Is On The Cover
Referring to Nicole
Original Airdate: December 7, 2005
In the season finale, Bre, Nik, and Nicole shot a Covergirl commercial and stills. While Nik's strong performance was an improvement from her previous showing in the Secret shoot, both Bre and Nicole struggled. Nik was chosen first to continue on in the final round, and then Nicole was chosen over Bre, who became the eleventh girl to get sent home.
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 magazine. They then competed in the final runway competition, in which previous Top Model winners Eva Pigford and Naima Mora, and a medley of other Top Model contestants, both from Cycle 5 and from previous cycles, participated. At the final elimination panel, the judges favored Nicole's final performance over Nik's, both in the final runway challenge and throughout the competitions, and subsequently Nicole was selected to be the fifth winner of America's Next Top Model.
