Lisa's team is up first to be interviewed by Mario. He turns to Lisa first, and asks if she believes that any press -- including "peed in a diaper" press -- is good press. Lisa says that it's a balancing act, and then adds, "And guess what, I got first place in balance beam! Whaaaat?" She then high fives her teammates as we hear a buzzing sound. I think that indicates a job poorly done. Mario then asks Isis how comfortable she is talking about her former life as a man. She says she's very comfortable with educating people about her transition, but thinks that the fans will see that she's more focused on her goals this time around. At this answer, we hear a happy ding. Isis says that she's done a lot of public speaking, and also has embraced her sexuality a little bit more. I don't know what the latter has to do with answering questions on Extra, but well done nonetheless.
Mario next asks Angelea if she thinks that having too much flavor might hurt her. We get insight into Angelea's internal dialogue at this moment, which goes, "This is a job, be professional." Makes sense to me. Angelea tells Mario that you can never have enough flavor. It will make people talk about you, which is good -- that way they won't forget who you are. Lisa reaches over and high-fives Angelea, because she can't resist getting her neon green leggings all up in everything. Even Alexandria is like, "That's fucking annoying." Alexandria then gets to answer a viewer question about why she felt like she had to put on such a tough exterior that it rose to the point of contention. Alexandria says that she loves everyone, and wants the best, and is all peace, love and granola, but at the same time you have to be tough. And then Lisa jumps in to say that walls go up when things go wrong and you don't trust people. Bianca tells us that the first team's biggest problem was Lisa, because even her candid ass knows that you can't speak all over other people when they're trying to answer a damn question.
Bianca's team is next. Mario asks Bianca herself if the fans are seeing the real her. She says that the fans always see the real her, and that she has word vomit like everyone else. She gets a buzzer, I think mostly for the use of the word "vomit." Lisa tells us that Bianca isn't memorable at all, and that she took this time to ponder Mario's hair gel. In fairness, that is a compelling subject. Mario then asks Allison if it's true that modeling hasn't always been her priority and, if so, why she's even there. Allison says that modeling has taught her so much. She loves to photograph herself, and so by marrying the two things together, she's developed a better eye. She gets a solid "ding" for answering a question like a normal, smart human. Bianca tells us that Allison is the biggest surprise for her in the competition -- she's so cool, but also speaks her mind and doesn't let people walk all over her. You know that if Bianca actually likes you, you must be pretty awesome.
