- Yes, even Alisha qualifies.
My Greatest Second Chance: The team's ultimate goal aside from bringing the title home is to win the competition this time around. In the end, it was subverted by most of the girls, except for Sophie and Annaliese.
Non Gameplay Elimination: Both Louise and Alisha quit the competition.
The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: The UK girls towards each other. One of them even hoped to sweep the US team so they can keep the competition for themselves.
Patriotic Fervor
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The UK girls were usually the blue. They had their Hot-Blooded moments, however.
The Rival: To The US team.
Wearing a Flag on Your Head: During panel.
Worthy Opponent

Alisha White

Brown Eyes
Call Back: Her and Eboni's situation in panel was reminiscent of Ambreal and Ebony's in Cycle 9, except that this cycle's Eboni wasn't reprieved despite Alisha quitting.
Celibate Heroine
Deadpan Snarker
The Dutiful Daughter
Elimination Moment of Awesome: She's very proud of her No Damage Run in BNTM Cycle 6, hence she couldn't fathom being this cycle's Elimination Houdini. Realizing that being one usually and inevitably steals the spot from girls who deserves hers more, she decided to quit. Doing so allowed the three remaining girls with No Damage Run to vie for the title. (Take That, Ann Markley, Whitney Thompson and Angelea Preston!)
Face Elimination With Dignity: Though she's crying, the essence is still there.
Four Is Death: Because she quit, this cycle has no final four. However, she still ends up in fourth place.
Gam-A-Tronica Is an Awesome Brand
Gone Horribly Right: The fortune teller in Macau told her she will have to make a tough sacrifice and she'd better be prepared for it.
Heroic Sacrifice: Overlaps with her Elimination Moment of Awesome above.
Honor Before Reason
I Coulda Been a Contender
Lampshade Hanging: Often toward Laura's attitudes to sex.
The Lancer: Shares the role with Catherine for the UK team.
My Greatest Second Chance: Subverted in a bittersweet way.
Non Gameplay Elimination: She quit.
The Rival: To Laura, The Lancer of the US team. For some reason, she's occasionally pitted against Eboni since the first week.
Sassy Black Woman: British style!
She's Got Legs: It became her brand.
Statuesque Stunner
Tagalong Kid: She is the youngest member of the UK team and the girl from the newest cycle of BNTM.
Wham! Line: Tyra just told her she's safe. Then, she noticed Alisha crying...

Alisha: "I can't stay."

Sophie Sumner

Alliterative Name
Best for Last: She's the last girl featured in the Cycle 18 OBB.
Blue Eyes
The Cutie
Earn Your Happy Ending
Flawless Victory: The fifth winner to win with No Damage Run.
Funny Foreigner
Genki Girl
Hair Color Dissonance: After her makeover, her hair briefly reverted to blond. Her hair was re-dyded pink afterwards.
Hair of Gold: Pre-makeover.
The Heroine: Of the UK team.
Heterosexual Life Partners: With Ashley.
In the End You Are on Your Own: Majority of the top six consist of her and her teammates, with them dominating the competition until the top four/three. But ultimately, only she competed at the finals against the US team's Last Starfighter.
It Seemed Like a Good Idea At the Time: She usually does something, usually For the Lulz, that only resulted to her saying My God, What Have I Done?, Oh Crap, or both.
Manic Pixie Dream Girl
My Greatest Second Chance: Played straight.
Older Than They Look
Plucky Comic Relief
Plucky Girl
The Rival: To Laura in a Worthy Opponent variant. The feeling is mutual.
Rose-Haired Girl: Post-makeover. Twice due to Hair Color Dissonance.
Title Drop
What The Hell, Boyfriend?: She was pissed because her boyfriend acted with Dull Surprise rather than excited and supportive during the video message.
Worthy Opponent: All of the US girls said she is their greatest competition at different points of the show.

Louise Watts

Bifauxnen: After her makeover.

Louise: "They gave me a boy's haircut. I look like Justin Biebs."

The Big Girl: Among the members of the UK team, she is the most assertive and confrontational. Physically, she's the team's largest member and one of their tallest girls.
Deadpan Snarker
Green Eyes
Grumpy Bear
Hair of Gold
Heroic Sacrifice: It's not her intention, but her quitting saved Ashley, Alisha, Eboni and Candace from elimination.
Hot-Blooded
Ice Queen
I Coulda Been a Contender
My Greatest Second Chance: Subverted BIG BIG TIME.
Non Gameplay Elimination: She quit.
Oral Fixation Fixation: She usually chews her finger.
Rage Against the Mentor: In this case it was Kelly Cutrone.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here
Sudden Sequel Elimination Syndrome
Wham! Line: Kelly Cutrone's feedback and lecture may count as such. But Louise's response definitely is.

Louise: "No, you were rude to me."

When She Smiles

Jasmia Robinson

Ambiguously Brown
Cat Eyes
It's Pronounced Jazz-MYA
My Greatest Second Chance: Subverted, BIG TIME.
Sudden Sequel Elimination Syndrome: She was second runner-up on BNTM Cycle 2.
Tall, Dark and Snarky
Tearful Smile: During the last part of her Elimination Statement.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Here. Subverted for those who saw her on Britain's Next Top Model.

Catherine Thomas

Brown Eyes
The Chick: When she's not being The Lancer.
Dye Hard: For her makeover. See below.
Four Is Death: She's originally from BNTM Cycle 4 and was the runner-up. Here, her rank dropped four notches. She's also the fourth member eliminated from her team.
Hair Color Dissonance: Her makeover was supposed to dye her hair Magenta pink, but it appears more red.
The High Queen: Somehow, "The Queen" became her In-Series Nickname and Sobriquet. She also posed as Queen Elizabeth I in the first episode.
It's Pronounced Kath-REEN: Invoked during the music video clip shoot. She pronounced her name sounding like "Kathryn" so it can rhyme with the words "queen" and "elegant and supreme".

"I'm Queen Catherine. I'm elegant and supreme."

The Lancer: Shares the role with Alisha for the UK team.
My Greatest Second Chance: Subverted.
Not So Stoic
Proper Lady: She is indeed elegant and supreme.
The Quiet One
Red Headed Heroine: Post-makeover.
Statuesque Stunner

Annaliese Dayes

Arc Words: In the pilot episode.

Annaliese: "America is not ready for the British Invasion. We did it once, and we can do it again."

Bittersweet Ending: See My Greatest Second Chance below.
Black and Nerdy
Brown Eyes
The Charmer
Expy: Nigel compared her to (ANTM) Cycle 2 runner-up Mercedes.
Genki Girl
Genre Savvy
Lovable Nerd
Meaningful Name: Her name is evocative of words such as "Analysis", "Analyze this" or "Analyze these". Not only is she The Smart Girl of her team, but she make video blogs every week in YouTube regarding the aired episodes.
Meganekko
Motor Mouth
My Greatest Second Chance: Though she still didn't win, her rank dramatically moved four notches higher. It's amusing that in her original cycle, she came up short on making it to the overseas trip, while here she came up short on reaching the finals. For being the lowest ranking (7th) contestant of your team which consist mostly of former runner-ups and two girls placing higher than 5th place, great job.
Nerds Are Sexy
No Damage Run: While she didn't do a technical one (getting to the final two with no bottom two), she, along with Laura and Sophie, never touched the bottom two until the final three.
One of Us
Plucky Girl
The Pollyanna
Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness
Spirited Competitor
Supporting Leader: As seen during the UK team's very.com campaign pitch.
The Smart Girl: Very much for the UK team.
Team Mom
The Unfavorite: She just couldn't make Kelly Cutrone appreciate her. Until the Hong Kong go-see, when she scored three out of four bookings.

Ashley Brown

Action Mom: She practices Tae Kwon Do and kickboxing.
Bonnie Scotland: Recognizing how thick her accent was on American screens:

"I'm so gettin' subtitled."

Brown Eyes
The Chick: Of the UK team.
- The Heart
Cry Cute: In episode 1.
The Cutie
Fiery Redhead: Subverted. She had red hair, but she wasn't portrayed as temperamental.
Four Is Death: When she got the boot, it came down to her and Catherine. Catherine was originally from BNTM Cycle 4, while she was the fourth placer of her Cycle (5). And considering that Louise quit, she's technically the fourth person eliminated.
Funny Foreigner: The reason she's this cycle's Ensemble Darkhorse.
Fun with Subtitles: And how.
Heterosexual Life Partners: With Sophie.
Hot Mom
It Has Been an Honor
Meaningful Surname: She has Brown Eyes.
My Greatest Second Chance: Subverted.
Older Than They Look: Does she look like someone with two children?
One Ashley Limit: With her, Az, and Kyle. Averted as the latter two are Only Known By Their Nicknames.
Shorttank
Tall, Dark and Bishoujo: Pre-makeover.
Token Minority: She's the only one from Scotland. Everyone else (including the panel) is from the US or England.
Worthy Opponent: The US girls really like her, especially Laura.

Team USA

The entire team

(back from left to right) Laura, Kyle, Seymone and Candace. (front from left to right) Eboni, Mariah and AzMarie.

Divided We Fall: Even before AzMarie's Shocking Elimination, the team is already showing signs of this with The Lancers. They never really liked each other to begin with. It Got Worse from there.
Dwindling Party Ultimately, only two members made it to the overseas trip.
Eagle Land: During the pilot, most of the girls are type 1. But both The Lancers also showed signs of type 2.

Laura: "It's called America's Next Top Model for a reason, get your ass back home."
Kyle: "Those girls are from the UK!? Is this a joke right now?"

Five Girl Band
- Configuration 1: The original lineup never really changes until the boot of two members.
  - The Heroine: AzMarie
  - The Lancers: Laura and Kyle
  - The Big Girl: Seymone
  - The Smart Girl: Candace
  - Tagalong Kid: Eboni
  - The Chick: Mariah
- Configuration 2: Very.com campaign pitch.
  - The Heroine: AzMarie
  - The Lancers: Laura and Kyle
  - The Big Girl: Seymone
  - The Smart Girl: Candace
  - Tagalong Kid: Eboni
- Configuration 3: United Sirens of America
  - The Heroine: AzMarie
  - The Lancer: Laura
  - The Big Girl: Seymone
  - The Smartass Kid: Eboni
  - The Chick: Kyle
- Configuration 4: At this point, the girls can't be considered a team anymore. Nonetheless, it can be argued that the "lineup" is:
  - The Heroine: Laura
  - The Lancer and The Chick: Kyle
  - The Big Girl: Seymone
  - The Smartass Kid: Eboni
Four Is Death: The US team had an awful time against the UK team once the latter is reduced to a Four-Girl Ensemble.
Friendly Enemy: With the UK team.
- Friendly Rivalry
It Got Worse: Look at the other entries.
One Ashley Limit: AzMarie and Kyle are just their nicknames, which they used to avert this trope with each other and British girl Ashley.
Patriotic Fervor
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Most of the time, the US team is the red. But there are times they switch to blue.
The Rival: To The UK team.
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Laura and Kyle.
Wearing a Flag on Your Head: During panel.
We Were Your Team: AzMarie's elimination essentially marked the end of the US team.
Worthy Opponent

Laura LaFrate

Mr. Jay: "Tell me what makes you powerful."
Laura: "Really good sex!"

- The other girls' confessionals tended to lampshade this.

Alisha: "A fucking silkworm is sexual to this girl!"

Annaliese: "Laura is all about sex, sex, sex, sex. And a little bit more of sex!"

Berserk Button: Touch her teddy bear? Watch out.
- Accusing her of being a casting couch won't do you good, either.
Bi the Way
Blue Eyes
Crazy Enough to Work
Girls Love Stuffed Animals: See her Berserk Button. She's also holding a stuffed lion in the finale.
Go Out with a Smile: It's a Tearful Smile, but still counts.
Graceful Loser
Hot-Blooded
Ineffectual Death Threats: During her Ax Crazy or/and Hot-Blooded moments.
The Lancer: Although she shared the role with Kyle for the US team, Laura fits it perfectly compared to her. From being the second most capable member of the US girls, to her dynamic with AzMarie as well as being her Foil.
Large Ham
Last Starfighter: Of the US team.
Ms. Fanservice: Being a curvacious bisexual girl who likes sex makes her one by default.
Multicolored Hair: Post-makeover, her hair was dyed platinum blond with red and blue extensions.
No Damage Run: Until the final three.
One Steve Limit: While she doesn't share a name with anyone from this cycle, she's not the first runner-up named Laura.
Plucky Girl
The Resenter: To Kyle.
The Rival: She occasionally had problems with Kyle and Alisha from day one. Coincidentally, they are The Lancers of their respective teams. In a positive light, to Sophie as well.
Sitcom Arch Nemesis: To Eboni, especially toward the end.
Smug Smiler
Spirited Competitor
Statuesque Stunner
Tall, Dark and Snarky: Physically, she fits it better before her makeover due to her dark brown hair. She had Multicolored Hair afterwards, but she obviously remained tall and definitely remained snarky.
Token Evil Teammate: At times, she can dip into this territory. Celebrating after Kyle's boot comes to mind...
The Unfettered
Worthy Opponent: Played straight with winner Sophie. Even some of the girls who don't like Laura said she's a good model.
Zagalicious Trope: It was her brand.

Eboni Davis

Broken Bird
Brown Eyes
Call Back: Her and Alisha's situation in panel was reminiscent of Ambreal and Ebony's in Cycle 9, except that she wasn't reprieved when the other (safe) person in the bottom two quit.
The Cutie: She is definitely cute, but she subverts the trope in terms of her personality.
Deadpan Snarker
Girlish Pigtails: She is enforced by the panel to wear her hair like this. All the time.
Parental Issues: Cue the Wangst.
Raised by Grandparents
Sitcom Arch Nemesis: To Laura during the last episodes.
The Smart Girl: After Candace's boot, she filled this role by default. Incidentally, she's the one still in school.
Tagalong Kid: At 18 years old, she is the youngest member of the US team and the youngest girl this cycle.
What Kind of Lame Brand Is 30-Never Anyway? At least at the start. See Girlish Pigtails above.
