They're getting styled by his personal stylist Rushka and working with a photographer who did a Jackson pictorial for Italian Vanity Fair. The icing on the cake, however, is that Jackson's own sister La Toya will be overseeing the entire shoot, much to the excitement of everybody.

La Toya then joins Tyra Banks, Nigel Barker and Andre Leon Talley as the guest judge at this week's elimination panel. (See all the girls' photographs in the gallery below)

Shannon is first to face the panel and gets praise all around. The only slight critique comes from Tyra who wants to see more connection in her face when she is looking at the camera. Kayla is next up and equally praised. La Toya thinks the picture looks like it was taken in the middle of the concert, while Andre thinks the tension in her hands and neck shows true passion. Dominique is also roundly praised.

The panel are less enthusiastic about Angelea. Nigel says although it's intense, cool and different, it doesn't immediately bring Michael Jackson to mind. La Toya doesn't think she uses her lines to full effect, while Tyra thinks she can do better.

Allison's cute Jackson 5-era pose is widely praised, with La Toya saying it perfectly captures the essence of the time, while Bre is praised for standing on point in her picture but remaining calm in her face.

Alexandria's picture is praised for being quirky and having a sense of humor, while Laura's is praised for her body shape and sense of caring, nobility, grace and dignity.

Lisa's splits in mid-air pose gets a mixed reaction. Tyra likes the fact she has a signature move and sticks to it, but Andre thinks the picture doesn't channel Michael Jackson and calls it the "weakest link" in the bunch.

Finally, it's Bianca's turn and the judges think the picture is a bit timid and shows "the wrong kind of naivety". Tyra reveals that Miss J called her after the runway to say Bianca had told him she didn't know why she was here. Bianca admits it's been a rough week because she thinks the other girls have realized she is competition and are attacking her. Tyra says the message is to hold on to your model and also your energy.


After deliberation, Tyra drops the news that for the first time in Top Model history they have decided to let their guest judge choose the winner and the call-out order.

Laura wins this week's best photo. The call-out order is then: Shannon, Dominique, Allison, Alexandria, Kayla, Bre and Bianca, meaning that Lisa and Angelea are in the bottom two.

Tyra tells Angelea that La Toya doesn't know the Angelea the judges know, someone who can take strong photos but has been in the bottom two before. She tells Lisa she liked her photo but the other judges are worried she only has "one note and one look".

But, there is a twist. La Toya says: "I have to tell you my brother was about love, expression and giving and what I saw in the photoshoot is you all gave our love and expression so because of that I'm not sending anyone home. You are all safe."
