The Girl Who Gets Thrown in the Pool

Episode Number: 99    Season Num: 8    First Aired: Wednesday April 4, 2007    Prod Code: n/a
In what promises to be the most dramatic episode of America's Next Top Model to date, Twiggy gives the girls a history lesson on how she got her nickname and asks each model to give herself a nickname of her own, which each girl must then use at a celebrity filled party.

While at the party, one girl gets a little too friendly with rapper 50 Cent and gets thrown in the pool. Another model jumps in and both girls end up embarrassed when they are introduced to famous manager Benny Medina and his entourage soaking wet.

Later, Tyra gets involved when all the models unite against another model and confront her about her personal attacks on her fellow housemates.

Finally, the girls participate in a photo shoot where they must showcase four of their inner personalities.
