Notes

edit
  1. ^ Juliette was disqualified from the competition after it was revealed on some of the show's online forums that she had taken part in several sexually suggestive photo shoots, which was against the rules for eligibility in the competition.[8] She was replaced by Jenny Arzola, who had been eliminated some weeks prior during the selection of the final 12.[9]
  2. ^ In episode 8, Darla, Diana, and Patricia received the fewest votes and were in the bottom three. Patricia received the fewest votes overall and had to face the judges for elimination. The contestants who were safe had to decide which of the other two contestants (Darla and Diana) would be facing elimination with Patricia. The votes were evenly split. In order to break the tie, the decision was brought back to the public vote. Among the two, Darla received the second lowest number of votes, landing her in the bottom two. Diana was saved by default.
  3. ^ During the week of the semifinal, there were two separate eliminations. The first was based entirely on the results of the viewer vote, Jenny and Patricia received the fewest votes, but Patricia received the fewest votes overall, resulting in her elimination. During the remainder of the evening, Gredmarie, Nicole, and Jenny received gold 'passes' for the grand finale. The last pass was left between Miriam and Nastassja. The judges decided to save Nastassja, and Miriam was eliminated.
