Cycle 16. All of the girls had high fashion appeal (including the early boots), the photoshoots were far less tacky than other cycles, and the runways were still unconventional, but not as outlandish as most other cycles.

Once, when I was little, looking at a fashion catalogue with my mother, I expressed my wish to be the little girl in those photographs. Since then I began to work on this project and to build my portfolio. Or rather, I began to study “Vogue” and to do exercises in front of the mirror. - Brittani Kline

Your information is incorrect. There were actual semi-finals that weren’t shown (probably so that viewers wouldn’t feel attached to those girls and rage out) and those girls were real semi-finalists. The contestants have said as much, and they even had the names of the semi-finalists on RTVGames before the show aired.

That was the first thing I thought of when I rewatched Cycle 16. I could barely stomach the rest of that first episode because all I could think about was how cruel that was for the eliminated girls.
