Previously on America's Next Top Model:
The girls took advantage of Rome's coliseums and had posing lessons under a gladiator theme. Afterwards, they had a mini-photo shoot challenge as warrior women and Whitney won. The photo shoot, with Tyra as photographer, saw the girls posing as modern variations of Renaissance women. At judging panel, though Whitney seemed stuck in one mode at the photo shoot, Katarzyna was cut when the judges felt she wasn't utilizing her full potential. Only four girls remain and this is the last episode before the finale. Who will find themselves in the top three and who will be eliminated right before the finish line?

On the ride home after judging panel, Whitney says it's a bad feeling to be in the bottom two so much. She tells us that she was shocked her name was called and says it is nerve-wracking to be so close to elimination. Now Whitney is on a mission to prove to the judges how much she wants to be here. She is still firm in the belief that America and America's Next Top Model is ready for a plus-sized girl to win. The girls talk about how tough the competition is and Anya says she's not worried about the other because she just needs to focus on herself.

The girls get back to the house and "ooh and ah" over some new pictures of Saleisha, the most recent winner of America's Next Top Model, that have been posted around the place. Dominique says she knew Saleisha was going to win from the moment she saw and jokes that she, Dominique, is "the Saleisha of this competition." I haven't been a big fan of Dominique's since the competition started, but I have noticed that she's mellowed out lately. Sure, she's still driven, but she hasn't been as bitchy lately as she has been in the past.

After Dominique goes to bed, the other girls gossip about her and how surprised they are that she's still around. Whitney is annoyed at how much Dominique eats and mentions her habit of eating snacks in the middle of the night. Dominique tells us that she doesn't care if the girls don't like her because she knows not everyone is going to accept her. She actually makes a very valid point. You have to get used to the fact that not everyone in the world is going like you, nor are they obligated to. You just have to keep in mind that it doesn't matter what they think and just go be the person you want to be. Dominique says she is still around because she's the most improved and we see clips of the judges making comments about that.

One thing on Fatima's mind is that she hasn't won any challenges since coming into the competition. She wants to win at least one before it's all over. Anya says there are only two challenges left and she's wrong. They don't do a challenge during the final week of competition, so this week will be Fatima's last chance to win. Anya tells us that she is proud of herself for having won three challenges. Well, no worries for you then.
