Last night, Renee DeWitt, a stay-at-home mom who lives on Maui, survived the latest cut on Tyra Banks' "America's Next Top Model." She is one of eight remaining aspiring professional models.

In an "assignment" in which the contestants were transformed into men and posed with drag queens, DeWitt wowed the judges — especially '60s icon Twiggy — with her square-jawed "glam rocker" look.

However, in the models' shared house, the blond 20-year-old isn't so popular, with her rivals wary of DeWitt's unpredictable, tempestuous behavior. She had the reality show's two plus-size models, Whitney Cunningham and Diana O'Connell, up in arms when she said Vogue magazine will never put a plus-size woman on the cover. (Must have been taped before Vogue editor Anna Wintour placed curvaceous Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson front and center.)

Ejected last night: O'Connell.

The catwalk drama continues at 7 p.m. April 4 on KHONDT2 93.
