In part one of the 8th season premiere, 32 young women arrive in LA, only to be whittled down to 13 finalists who will compete to become America's Next Top Model. A boot-camp with J. Alexander and some tough-talk from Tyra Banks await.

In part two of the 8th season premiere, the 13 contestants move into their new home -- a mansion in the Hollywood Hills -- and directly into a controversial photo shoot with judge Nigel Barker.

A runway session with J. Alexander preps the girls for two related fashion shows: one with a prom theme, another with a high school theme.

Makeover day! As one model is put through two different makeovers, another has to endure a painful session.

The girls are given a lesson in how to pose by Benny Ninja, then their skills are put to the test in a laser maze challenge. Later, the girls participate in crime scene photo shoot.

Efren Ramirez and Tia Mowry give the models a crash course in character acting, prior to their weekly challenge. The photo shoot highlights scandalous moments from past seasons and features contestants from previous cycles.
