Anamaria was also 1 of the finalist but she didn't make it to the make over. She was the first finalist who was eliminated with judge Diane Von Furstenberg.
Terra was the one who's eliminated during the make over session.
Sara was the 3rd evictee during the dark fallen angel concept photo shoot on Episode 3 with judge Patricia Field.

Kacey was evicted on the 6th episode doing with a group photo shoot and a beauty shot with judge Patrick Demarchelier.
Kendal was the 7th evictee. They were asked to portray an iconic fashion designers for the photo shoot concept and photographed by Francesco Carrozzini, who was also that week’s guest judge.
Esther was evicted on the 8th episode wherein they do the commercial thing. This picture was the last photo shoot taken during episode 7. Episode 8 guest judge was Zac Posen.
With the guest judge Margherita Missoni and a group photo shoot at Italy, Liz was eliminated on the 9th Episode.
On the 10th episode of ANTM Cycle 15, the girls receive a head-to-toe transformation to become real-life statues and Chris was eliminated with guest judge Kyle Hagler.
Tyra directs the remaining girls during a motion editorial challenge that requires them to bring their poses to life with movement and emotion on America's Next Top Model. Together with the guest judge Franca Sozzani, they decided to eliminate 2 of the 4 remaining girls and both Kayla and Jane were out on Episode 11th.
The finale of America's Next Top Model, cycle 15, featured two remaining contestants, Chelsey and Ann. Ann Ward is from Dallas and was put in the “quirky” model category because of her tall frame, stick-out ears, and teeny tiny waist. Chelsey has a gap in her teeth but still carries that “perfect American girl” look that several of the judges commented upon.
Their tasks in the final episode included: a Cover Girl photo shoot from each model, a Cover Girl commercial with the two of them together, a runway walk at a Roberto Cavalli event, and an interview with a high-up at IMG Models.
and Chelsey was evicted during final judgment.
That proved to be an inspiring moment when Ann won the final competition over Chelsey. Cavalli called Chelsey's photo “too beautiful” and other judges said they liked Ann's pain and fear, which was evident in her photos. While Chelsey was again put into the “perfect American girl” category, judges agreed that Ann has the strongest ability to be a star because her face is fresh and new. They were also surprised by Ann's personable style and acting ability in the Cover Girl commercial, a piece that surprised us too.
We felt proud to watch Ann, the model who didn't seem to even have a chance at winning, to do just that.
Says Ann: “Being on America's Next Top Model and actually having an advantage to be unique is just a great thing.”
