In episode 11 of America's Next Top Model we have a shocking double elimination that cuts the top four down to the final two. Who will make it, and who will go? The remaining models, Nicole, Erin, Laura and Jennifer face a Hawaiian hip hop challenge this week, which shows off some of the girl's dance moves, good or bad. Nicole, whom you may remember had problems in the Vegas challenge which had a dance theme struggles greatly, while Laura shines, and wins the challenge. The prize is a return trip to Maui, and she gets to take one of the other girl's with her. She chooses Jennifer to go with her.

The second challenge this week is a photo shoot, where the girls must pose as Pele, the Goddess of Fire, while perched on lava rocks with crashing waves behind them. Laura loses some of the momentum she gained by the win in the first challenge, while Jennifer tries unsucessfully to look taller by perching on tiptoe, and Erin tries to embody the Goddess with a fierce pose that only makes her look angry, not powerful. Nicole, on the other hand moves past her disasterous dance fiasco and has her best shoot yet.

At panel, the judges deliberate, judging Nicole as having the best photo this week. She's going to the finale. Who will join her? Jennifer, who had a so-so photo shoot, Erin, who started the competition on top, but has slowly faded, or Laura, whose quirky personality and amazing photos have gotten better all the time? In the end, the judges choose Laura, leaving Erin and Jennifer saying Aloha to the island state.

Next week, Nicole and Laura will film their CoverGirl shoot and walk the runway, and we will see our America's Next Top Petite Model crowned. Who is your favorite? Nicole or Laura? Vote in the poll below.
