Back at the house, Bianca talks to her boyfriend and says that she doesn't think she can take it anymore. She explains to us that she's not a person who breaks easily, but she was very hurt and confused and felt broken. This whole thing didn't feel quite so tedious when I watched the first time around, but dissecting it minute by minute makes me want to turn into a crying Christian myself. Will LaToya get here, already? Down in the kitchen, several of the girls talk about how great it would be if Bianca would leave. They do this under the guise of, "If you can't handle it, save everyone the trouble." Bre lurks outside and eavesdrops, using her giant hoop earrings as sound conductors. She tells us that Bianca may be candid, but she won't stand for people who try to make it seem like they're good, Christian people or survivors or otherwise stand-up types, but who really want to get Bianca out so they have less competition. Bre sprints up the stairs to the telephone room, and tells Bianca that the others are all forming a coalition against her. When she puts it that way, things sound much more dramatic than a bunch of girls just talking shit in the kitchen! Bre asks Bianca if she's ready to play, and Bianca tells us that her fire is fueled. She's not going to sit down and take a beating, or let anyone actually call her out on her shit! She's going to fight. MORE. With this, we head to commercials.
When we return, there is Tyra Mail. "You'll get noticed when you're off the wall. Fierce and Love, Tyra." Kayla wonders if they're going to jump off a cliff, and Lisa (who has Laura on her back) seems excited about this possibility. Because she's so wild and wacky! Bianca does not, because she is, at least temporarily, the opposite of those things. The girls head to their shoot, which is taking place once again at Siren Studios. Jay Manuel is standing next to Michael Jackson's jacket, and tells them that today they'll be portraying MJ himself, through the years. Except not the maybe-molesty ones, probably. Like, Lisa's not going to be splayed out on a bed with a 10-year old boy drinking Jesus Juice or anything. They'll be styled by MJ's personal stylist, Rushka. She comes out wearing a crazy stiff bedazzled jacket with giant shoulderpads, just to make it clear that she is indeed the lady who made him look so crazy all the time. The photographer for the day is Tim Peterson, who did a Michael Jackson inspired pictorial for the Italian version of Vanity Fair.
