Ashley eliminated from "America's Next Top Model" cycle 13 during week five

Ashley was eliminated from "America's Next Top Model" cycle 13 during week five. Tyra told her she can go further in modeling, but she needs to figure out how to move like a model, not just like a dancer.

Kara was the other model on the chopping block during the Oct. 7,2009 episode. Tyra said that she is a fantastic model by looks standards, but she needs to learn how to model (the verb).

Express yourself

The theme of Dance with Me was learning to express yourself using only your body. Benny Ninja, a posing instructor, and Lil Mama taught the models how to express themselves through dance. The Jabbawockeez (winner of "America's Best Dance Crew" season one) were also on hand to show the models a few moves.

The women were split in to three teams to create a dance conveying three different emotions. The groups had one hour to prepare before performing in front of Benny Ninja, Lil Mama, the Jabbawockeez and Rhonda Faber Green.

My favorite performance was definitely team number one's performance, and they were the team that won. Jennifer, Kara and Rae's performance definitely stood above the rest, and their reward was $17,000 worth of jewelry from Rhonda Faber Green.

Cirque du shoot

The models' photo shoot for Dance with Me took place on the stage of one of the Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil shows (Mystere). The shoot was a group photo shoot with three models and characters from the Cirque show. This shoot was unbelievably fabulous! Everyone looked amazing in the crazy hair and makeup, and the characters from the show really added to the shoot.

During the shoot Jennifer was told she needs to make herself look longer. Jay felt she "fell flat" during the shoot and was forgetting everything she had learned in the past. Jay thought Sundai did a great job looking tall and confident.

Dance with Me judges' panel

Here is what the judges thought of the models' best photos:

• Brittany - Looked amazing; Looked like the bride of Frankenstein
• Rae - Definitely smiling with her eyes; Genius; The strength of the photo
• Jennifer - All over the place; No focus; Brought the photo down for the other girls
• Laura - Looked like she was climaxing (meant in a good way); Hit the nail on the head with the body movement
• Ashley - Looked weak; Looked like she was falling asleep
• Kara - Don't be afraid to look a little weird
• Erin - OK; Beautiful; Strong; High fashion
• Nicole - Worked really well; Don't forget to position the lower half of your body
• Sundai - Fantastic; Strongest in her photo

Brittany, Rae and Jennifer were chosen as the best group photo. Tyra told Jennifer she was saved by Brittany and Rae's strong photos.

Next week - Oct. 14, 2009: The models participate in the go-see challenge; The photo shoot turns the models in to ninjas and warriors
