Courtney Davis Eliminated

Courtney Davies was eliminated from America's Next Top Model Cycle 13.

Courtney is a 22-year-old 5'4" cheer instructor from Plantation, Florida. She was kicked off after giving up because of a broken foot.

"I expected to do a little better than I did, so I let myself down in a way," Courtney said. "I just really wish I did not have a broken foot. I'm definitely not going to give up the modeling, and hopefully the agencies will look more to what I offer them rather than just my height because there's a lot more than me being just 5'5"."

Courtney talked about being sick of her broken foot -- an injury that occurred during a cheerleading competition. "I always try to go to the next level, so this week I'm taking my boot off."

During the photo shoot, Jay made Courtney keep her boot on. "Jay made me keep my boot on, which made me really mad. It just made me feel disabled."

Both the photographer and Jay asked Courtney to make a softer face. "I was so confused because they were asking me to be cute and innocent, and I'm just like, 'Do you see what I'm wearing right now?'" said Courtney. "There's no cute and innocent about it."

Jay said he was stunned by Courtney's performance and not in a good way.

"He made me model in my boot, which made me so mad," Courtney said later to the other girls. "I was just like, 'How is this any of my fault?'"

During the judging, Courtney's photo was ripped apart. "This picture for me is just weak. It looks like she's just sitting there. She's angry, she's over it."

"She gave up, she sabotaged herself," said Tyra. "It's showing."

Tyra then eliminated Courtney.
