Tyra Sends a Frontrunner Home in the This Week's Shocking 'ANTM' Elimination

It's going to take being more than just undeniably fierce in order to impress the judges on this season of America's Next Top Model.

This week we said goodbye to Coura after she had the weakest photo in this week's beauty sandwich photoshoot. It was shocking to see the once-frontrunner go, considering how she started the competition on the right foot. Coura had the best photo from the very first shoot and was the only model that didn't need a Ty-Over because Tyra felt that she walked into the house with her signature look. But after seeing her in the bottom two last week, we learned that being stunning (or looking like an "alien" as Tyra called it), just isn't enough to win this competition. Coura has some learning to do and ultimately the Tyra told her that "week to week you're getting weaker."

Not all was doom and gloom at the elimination ceremony. Rio was awarded best photo and from the looks of it, definitely deserved it!
