Back in the ModelMobile, Alexandria states that she needs to show people her toughness. Angelea pipes in to say that she doesn't need to show nobody nothing. If you think the triple negative is impressive, I assure you that Angelea is just getting started. Because this is actually about her and not Alexandria, she goes on to say that she was very professional, and that's what she was giving, because at the end of the day that's her. She's not going to explain herself to Alexandria, Nigel, or any of the other bitches in the bus. Angelea points out that she's no hood ghetto bitch on demand. She's only a hood ghetto bitch when she feels like it. Happily for us, now is one of those moments. Most moments are one of those moments, I think. But she's merely working up to the apex, the culmination of her efforts, her piece de resistance. Quoth Angelea: "I know how to conduct myself, bitch. I worked at a bank." It's just, like, the greatest thing that's ever happened. Angelea is magic. She tells us that the competition is hard, and doesn't get why she can't win for being herself. Angelea declares her intention to speak her mind at panel, with the ominous warning, "You want a hood bitch? Watch. WHAT?" With that, we head to commercials. But, like, she does have a point in all this. Do they really want her to call Mario Lopez a bitch? He would probably enjoy it, but that's not the point.
When we return, there is Tyra Mail! "My, what long legs you have. Fierce and love, Tyra." We get a little glimpse into the deep recesses of all-star model minds as several contestants tell us their best guesses as to what they will be posing with. Bre and Isis think it will be spiders. Laura guesses giraffes. And Angelea? Rats. Long-legged, Buffalo rats. Whatever it is, Allison is just excited at the prospect of having a creature crawl around on her face. Her hat friend is going to be so jealous. Bianca is living in terror, because she's scared of all animals, and everything else in the world. Quoth Bianca, "Shave your legs tonight, whatever it is." You know, just in case the furry creature gets ideas.
The girls head to Siren Studios, where they see folks dancing on some really cool stilts that look like leg warmers for giants. Jay tells the models that they will, in fact, be on stilts for their photo shoot. The girls will be paired for the shoot, with each pair consisting of one model from the winning team and one from the losing team. The pairs will be: Dominique and Kayla; Isis and Camille; Lisa and Bianca; Allison and Angelea; Laura and Bre; and Alexandria and Shannon. Sarah Silver is the photographer for the day. The girls head back to hair and makeup, and the ladies who are up for elimination are starting to get nervous. Angelea tells us that she needs to figure out how to be professional, but still show her swag. Bianca is safe, but as it turns out she has a terrible fear of heights. She reminds us that during her cycle she was supposed to fly on a harness in China, and didn't do it. She says that she'll have a panic attack. Let's hope that we get to watch!
