After some gushing over Azmarie's ferocious photo of the week, the girls have to figure out how to use some odd technology to get a video transmission from Jay. I'd say this was better than the vague Tyra Mail messages, but as he's sending them to Toronto Fashion Week... it's so lame.
Once in Canada, the girls are tasked with booking runway shows for that very night, and they can win clothing from Jay's clothing collection (likely only available north of the border). There are eight possible designers casting the girls, who apparently have no qualms with waiting to the last damned minute if it means they can get free models. Totally budget. Why are there no backwards people movers, or something where they are trussed up and dangled from the CN Tower like Jay joked? You know, a real challenge for these girls to contend with?
Once the girls go out in the real world, they quickly find out that they suck. The woman from the Pink Tartan fashion house doesn't like swinging hips, so Seymone is screwed, obviously. She wonders if she even has to go to the fashion event if she doesn't book anything. Way to stay positive! Then the girls trek to a conference room in a random hotel where they walk in front of six designers. Well, that's efficient? And weird. Most of the girls do well, but Ashley, Catherine and Seymone can't do a runway stomp to save their lives. Sophie and Eboni booked four shows each, so Jay's judging how they perform to see who wins the challenge. Quite the nail-biter... if I actually cared. But then, in a surprisingly fun bit, that awesome bitch from Pink Tartan decides to cut Kyle and Laura during rehearsal because the concept of pacing is just too complex for them. No meltdowns, but Kyle looks hella pissed, so I'll take it.
Before the shows, which apparently are all happening back-to-back, Jay tells the girls he's super psyched that they are at a real Fashion Week... in Canada. Seymone has bitch face on because she didn't book anything, and I guess a producer somewhere told her she still had to come. Jay tells her to fucking smile, as she's a model and it is her job to pretend that she's happy when she's not.
Azmarie rocks the catwalk, even closing one of the shows, but seems melancholy. She interviews about how her mother wasn't too psyched to find out that Az was a lesbian, but likes that she models and is girly. Ashley misses her wee little ones and would very much like to win anything. A pack of gum. A one-dollar lottery ticket. Clothing from the Jay Manuel fashion line. Anything.
The day we find out who won the challenge. How did these girls sleep? Did the suspense not just kill them? Jay tells Eboni and Sophie both win pieces from his clothes and they get tickets to come back to Canada... for a rodeo. These are the worst prizes ever. Seriously. Even RuPaul's Drag Race (which is made for all of three dollars) sends its bitches on a cruise.
Sophie is very threatened by Azmarie and has made it her mission to take her down. The photographer of the week has taken pictures for Canada's Top Model... so... um... good for him. The girls model in bikinis made out of fake maple leaves and then they are covered with maple syrup. Just in case we forgot that this was filmed in Canada. This is nowhere near as great as the time in Greece when they made them pose in a bowl of feta, so try harder, Show.
On set, Laura is having a breakdown because her best friend died a few days before she left to do this stupid show. She's determined to power through as maple syrup drizzles down and into her mouth. Jay makes Ashley cry by bringing up her babies. The tears may also be caused by that the stagehand poured syrup directly in her eye. Kyle says if you leave your kids, you have to deal because this is a competition. Shut the hell up, Kyle. This from a girl who wanted to leave last week for no real reason. Seymone is a little too excited about the syrup, so she's probably fun in bed.
At panel, the girls are still in the t-shirts of their respective countries. And even though some have customized them to be more stylish, I can't help but miss when people used to dress in junky crap and get picked on mercilessly. How will I know if one of these girls has a grandma like Wanda Sue making all her clothes? Tyra likes the coordinating outfits, because she's able to make the astute observation that there is an even number of Brits and Yanks remaining. Clearly, that Harvard Business School degree is paying off in spades. She then introduces the always fabulous looking Beverly Johnson. That woman has magical genes.
The Brits get the first crits, and Alisha is told she's not modeling enough. Sophie's great. Catherine cries at panel because none of the designers liked her, but then she blames the designers for not appreciating her awesome walk. Kelly tells her to do some soul searching and maybe look at her walk in a fucking mirror before going forward. Her picture has a lot of smize, though. Ashley says her walk was too "hippie," but the language barrier makes Tyra think she's "happy." Kelly says she looks like an elf in her picture. Annaliese gets told she looks like Bev Johnson.
Up come the Yanks, and Tyra grills Laura about getting axed from Pink Tartan. Laura tactfully says that the designer was just overprotective and shrugs it off. They all like the vulnerability in her picture. Kyle looks beautiful, but she's holding her hand at a weird angle. Azmarie looks fucking hot yet another week in a row. Nigel loves Seymone's beauty shot. Kelly says that Eboni looks like a young girl out of a Matisse painting, if only he painted girls covered in maple syrup. He really lacked foresight in that sense.
Best photo of the week goes to Eboni. Followed by Azmarie, Sophie, Seymone, Laura and Kyle. This leaves only Brits (easily spotted thanks to the segregation). Alisha (who gets a lecture about dead eyes) and Annaliese (who is apparently a super shorty, if it weren't for the hair) are through to week. Leaving Catherine and Ashley, who booked no fashion shows and underwhelmed in their photos. Catherine gets to stay and Ashley's sent back to Scotland... probably because Tyra couldn't understand her. Tyra thinks that Ashley should be a host because she's filled with personality. Though probably in Scotland because they wouldn't have to subtitle her. God, what I would give to watch a show with her and Southern Laura from the season of the shorty. There'd be so much giggling, a million quaint expressions and fashions by Wanda Sue. -- Angel Cohn
Want more? The full recap starts right below!Last week: Candace continued her pattern of sucking, American-style, got her the boot! Five U.S. bitches and five U.K. bitches remain! That's ten total!
The girls return home after elimination to find Azmarie's best of week photo displayed as digital art in the house. Because Azmarie has had this honor two weeks in a row, she now is famous enough to wear sunglasses for her confessionals. Sophie acknowledges that Azmarie has got some talent, but vows to up her own game and take on Miss(ter) Androgenia. Eboni reminds us of all the drama of last week, during which Kyle threatened to go home like five times, and then didn't. Kyle knows that her decision to stay in the competition will piss off the other girls, but she says that she doesn't really care. Laura is one of those girls, because she can't stand seeing stupid girls crying over insignificant things. One of Laura's best friends died in a motorcycle accident before she came on the show, and she tells us that it's a blessing just to be there. If you are a person who is not down with trifling shit, you could probably find more appropriate things to do with your life than live in the Top Model house.
Soon enough, there is a video message (and product placement!) on the house's Virgin Mobile phone. It's very easy to hook up said phone to a TV, apparently, which has the added bonus of defying all the reasons you wanted a mobile phone in the first place. The message is from Jay Manuel, who is in Toronto, Canada getting ready to present his second collection for something called Attitude Jay Manuel. And, ha! It's a collection for Sears Canada! Jay Manuel is like the Kardashian sisters of the north! He announces that the girls are all "invited" to Toronto Fashion Week, and will get to go on castings with several designers to see how they'll do in the real world of modeling. This is their opportunity to book a job, and walk the runway. The Brits are quite excited, and Alisha reminds us that the American girls can't walk for shit. She tells us that the fire is burning, and some bitches are about to get cooked. With that, we head to credits.
When we return, the girls are in Canada! They meet Jay Manuel at the top of the CN Tower at 8:23 a.m., at an elevation of 1,465 feet. How great would it be if the whole thing just toppled right now? I mean, probably not so great for the city of Toronto, but still. Jay tells the girls that the CN Tower is the tallest free-standing structure in the western hemisphere. That's one way to deal with your national emasculation, I guess. Jay assures everyone that they're not going to be doing a photo shoot dangling from the building. This show can't just throw us a bone, even? Of course the ladies will be going on castings, and the girl who books the most shows and does the best during fashion week will get pieces from Jay's clothing collection. And you can't just find THAT at stores state-side. The winner will also get to make a return trip to Canada for a very special event. Sophie tells us that she has historically had a very bad walk, so she's going to have to start fakin' like Canadian bacon.
There are a total of eight designers, including Jay, who may possibly book them for shows happening tonight. The girls first head to a casting for Pink Tartan and walk, trying not to swing their hips per the designer's instruction. Kyle, Laura, and Sophie get high marks and are cast in the show. Seymone starts pouting already about how she doesn't want to partake in any fashion week fun if she's not cast, and Annaliese says that being with Seymone is like babysitting a five year old with giant boobs. The ladies move on to a casting for six designers who are part of the Toronto Start Up Show. Hans Koechling is the casting director, and the six designers are in the room as well. The girls walk again, and Catherine tells us that Laura walks like she has something stuck up her bum. We also learn the shocking fact that Annaliese is only 5'7". She tells the designers that she makes up for it in personality, which gets a laugh. Azmarie, Annaliese, Alisha, Sophie and Eboni are held, and then evaluated and booked by individual designers. Eboni takes the lead by booking four shows, and takes this opportunity to segue into her rough childhood again. It turns out she had to sleep on a blow-up mattress in her grandmother's attic. Uncomfortable sleeping scenarios are the new retinitis pigmentosa.
Meanwhile, Ashley, Seymone and Catherine have booked zero shows. They have one final chance to impress Mr. Jay Manuel himself, along with his associates George Antonopoulos and Cynthia Florek. The walking occurs. Jay tells us that Seymone is gorgeous and looks great in his clothes, and he'd really like to use her on the runway. The only problem is that her walk sucks. Azmarie compares Catherine to a wobbling penguin, which might explain why she's been cast in zero shows. Ashley is determined to book the show, but then compares her own walk to Bambi on ice. I do feel bad for the poor thing, but maybe her Charismia will get her through. Jay announces that they've decided to book four girls: Laura, Kyle, Azmarie, and Sophie. Sophie has now tied with Eboni for four shows, and the girls with no castings get to sink into an annihilating depression.
In their car en route to their shows, the Brits talk about Seymone's rancid attitude. Perhaps they don't understand the longstanding tradition of stankery that has infused America's Top Model since its inception. Alisha says that if Seymone had a more positive attitude, people might actually want to book her. With no further ado, the girls are in the fashion week tents, and it's four hours until they hit the runway. Sophie, Laura and Kyle have a rehearsal for Pink Tartan, and Laura tells us that her walk went to shit when the nerves hit. To boost their confidence, Pink Tartan designer Kim Newport-Mimran tells them that they need more practice on the runway, and in fact can wreck the show. She decides to cut Kyle and Laura, and tells us that they have potential but no confidence. As Laura worries that the judges might hear this sad tale and send her home, we head to commercials.
When we return, Laura is disappointed but says she's learned a lesson about not letting the pressure get to her. She vows to only get better. We switch from this lovely attitude to Seymone's stankness. Of course, she's not happy about having no shows to walk in. Laura wants her to realize that rejection is a fact of life, and get over it. Jay talks to Seymone and tells her that a spark was missing in the catwalk castings, and that sitting in the corner and pouting all night isn't going to help her any. In response, Seymone pouts. She also dully and unconvincingly resolves to kick butt at her photo shoot.
The shows start, and we see Eboni and Sophie walking for Unttld. There's then a montage of the various shows, including Azmarie closing the show for Triarchy. There is frenzy backstage, and then more walking. Sophie tells us that Eboni looks very serious when she walks, and quite possibly is not ready for all this modeling stuff. Catherine, meanwhile, is still having a sad. She loves the catwalk, and wants to be involved. And then it's Pink Tartan time, and Sophie is now the only girl to walk. She looks super cute, and crazy designer Kim seems to like her quite a bit. And then it's time for the Jay Manuel show. The clothes, everybody. The girls talk up how gorgeous they are, because that's what they're paid (or not paid) to do. With the shows over, Jay tells the girls that the international press and fashion editors of the world are in attendance. After all, Anna Wintour is very, very interested in what Canadian Sears is putting out these days!
The girls head back to their lovely giant hotel penthouse and scrub off their makeup. Catherine tells Azmarie that she was amazing, and stood out among all the other girls. Do you think Catherine is trying to get into Azmarie's pants? The answer to this question is always yes. Azmarie tells us that it took a while for her to develop her confidence. She came out to her parents when she was fourteen, and her mother didn't react so well for some time. Now that Azmarie is modeling, she hopes that her mother can see some of her hopes for her little girl realized, even if it is in an Androgenia-ous context. With that, there is Tyra Mail! "Sticky and sweet and oh so delicious! Fierce and Love, Tyra." The girls think that they'll either be posing with candy, or covered with something. Ashley is still very sad about her lack of casting success, and tells us that she doesn't want to go home. Not only is she having a good time and learning some things about modeling (negligible, I'd think), but she also wants to make her adorable little kids proud. On this sad note, we head to commercials.
When we return, Sophie and Eboni are named challenge co-winners by Jay Manuel, because they tied for booking the most shows, and also did a fine job on the runway. They get some clothes from Attitude Jay Manuel, which is slightly less exciting than winning clothes from the Kardashian Kollection due to the lack of sparkly Hammer pants, as well as an all-expense trip back to Canada for the Calgary Stampede. The Calgary Stampede is the largest rodeo in North America. This is a weird prize, right? Unless Eboni and Sophie get to judge cowboys on their ability to smize while bull riding? I love how in the Top Model context that would make the whole thing less strange.
Jay then transitions to talk of this week's photo shoot. The girls are huddled (in the rain) in the distillery district, which is the historical part of downtown Toronto, and will serve as their backdrop. As the girls get made up, Alisha tells us that if one of the U.K. girls doesn't get best photo this week, they'll all have to immigrate to Canada out of shame. They're busting their bullocks, she says, but no one can touch the mighty Azmarie, who might as well be in a competition by herself. If Top Model ever does an all-clone edition, she might be the one. Jay comes in to introduce photographer Miguel Jacob. He also lets slip the insignificant fact that during this shoot they'll be covered in organic maple syrup. Apparently, they'll also be dressed in outfits made of fake leaves of the kind that you buy at Michaels or its Canadian equivalent. This trip is really not doing much to bolster Canada's reputation as burgeoning fashion capital of the world.
Sophie is up first and slithers around in her fake-leaf bikini as a dude stands over her with a pitcher of maple syrup. This is less disgusting than posing in a bowl of Greek salad with overheated feta, but just barely. What are they even selling here? Did the Canadian Maple Syrup industry approve this? Alisha is , and tells us that syrup is going in her hair, her ears, and her bum. I will tell you that I can't abide having even sticky hands, and this whole thing is making me really anxious. It's one of the reasons that I'm not sure if I have kids. Like, what the fuck is wrong with little kids that they're so damn sticky all the time? It kills me when people share photos of their kids with shit all over their faces, too. If I do have children, I'm sure they're going to read this one day and finally be able to share with their therapists the exact root cause of their obsessive compulsive disorder.
Catherine is up , and Jay asks if she's managed to hang on to some confidence after this week in the "real" fashion industry. She tells him that she feels like she needs to bring it even more, and adds in an interview that a crap photo could send her home after her spectacular failure in booking any Toronto fashion week jobs. Despite the cold maple syrup, Catherine gets into the zone right away and tells us that she modeled the hell out of that sticky nastiness. Judging from Jay's effusive reaction, it seems that he agrees. Laura is , and it appears that she's starting to crack. The intensity of the competition has brought up some latent feelings about her friend who died, and she starts crying backstage. She tells us that with things being so busy, she's only had waves of feeling the loss. It's finally starting to sink in, but she's determined to push past it and not use it as a crutch. Annaliese sweetly wipes her tears and tells her that she's messing up all of the hard work of the makeup artists. To hide any teary remnants, the maple syrup pouring guy dumps a glob right on her eye. Hott. Though Laura isn't feeling in tip top shape, she seems to do a fine job if the photographer's comments can be trusted.
Annaliese is up , and stretches out over the posing bench, her body glistening with sticky crap. We only get to see her for a minute, so I assume she's fine. Then there's Ashley. She thinks that she'll probably be in the bottom two for not getting cast in any shows, but hopes that a good photo will spare a trip back to the land of the Haggis. Jay notes that the lack of bookings can take the wind of out a girl's sails, or perhaps the syrup out of her bum, but Ashley needs to find the strength within herself prove that she still wants to be in the fashion business. She gets a glob of syrup in the eye, too and certainly pushes forward through that particular pain. After her shoot, Jay asks Ashley if she misses her babies. Ashley gets teary, but shares that her mom has told her kids that the longer she's away, the more she's winning, so they're excited. Fucking Kyle weighs in that this is a competition, and if you have to leave your kids, you have to leave your kids. She seems like the last person who has any right to comment on anything about anyone at this point.
Speaking of Kyle, she's up . She seems to do fine, even while getting syrup all up in her bangs. Azmarie continues her pattern of absolutely rocking it, so much so that Ashley tells us that she kind of wants to be Azmarie. Is there any beating her, do you think? If they really try to femme her up for Cover Girl, someone else might have a shot. up is Seymone, who of course loves having maple syrup poured all over her. I'm surprised she doesn't ask for a side of bacon. Everyone seems to love her posing with syrup dripping from her nose and mouth, and Jay tells her that she nailed it AND a bag of chips. Seymone bounces up and down in excitement, because she thinks she's getting a bag of chips. Jay tells us that this was her best shoot by far. we have Eboni. Sophie reminds us that Tyra keeps telling Eboni to be young, fresh, and girly, but Eboni refuses. If Eboni has a sexy shot, Sophie surmises, she's screwed. But not literally, which would be one purpose of such a shot. The cruel irony. And that's a wrap! The girls will head back to Los Angeles for their elimination. Annaliese thinks that Seymone, Catherine and Ashley are in trouble because the booked no shows. Since Catherine and Seymone seemed to excel on the shoot, this makes me worry for Ashley.
After a commercial break, it's panel time! Tyra deems it "interesting" that there are five Brits and five Yanks, which gives a lot of perspective on how she tries to keep this show "interesting" after eighteen seasons. There are prizes, there are judges. Supermodel of the ages Beverly Johnson is the guest judge. She is still so fly, if pulled a little tight. Alisha is up first for evaluation. Cutrone wants her to model more, and says that she has a potential to do something major but isn't yet connecting. Nigel wants Alisha to use her angles, play around, and have fun. I have to agree with them here -- I think Alisha's one of the more stunning girls left, but she hasn't quite nailed anything like you want her to. Then there's Sophie, who gets kudos for booking 50% of her go-sees. Nigel loves her piercing eyes in her photo, and Beverly loves that it's high fashion and not overly sexual. Tyra, however, wants a little bit more. Overall, though, a good critique.
Then there's Catherine. She admits that her go-see performance was awful, and starts crying as she explains that she has a pretty good walk but the designers all wanted the girls to be like hangers. Cutrone asks her if she's being honest about her walk, and Catherine says that she's practicing it always. Things start looking up when the judges see Catherine's photo. Nigel says it's his favorite so far (which might not actually be that big of a deal since he's only seen two others), and likes her sincerity. Cutrone notes that Catherine looks a little broken in front of her, but the photo is great, and that it's important to have her head in the right place and make sure that her feet follow. Tyra says that Catherine is smizing through her soul, and also through her forehead, and also the back of her head. I don't know what all that means, but let's assume that Catherine did a good job.
Ashley is up , and tells the judges that the designers all said that her walk is quite hippy. Nigel seems to like her photo, but tells Ashley to remove her ever-present fear, which comes through even on film. Cutrone loves Ashley's personality, but says it's not enough, and then compares her photo to someone from an elf tribe who lost her clan. That... is not good. Beverly, however, loves Ashley's eyes and expression. Tyra seems more positive about the photo as well. The final Brit up for evaluation is Annaliese. The judges love her animalistic body language, and Tyra says that her jaw is reminiscent of Beverly. Beverly agrees!
We then move to the Americans. Laura is asked about why she and Kyle were unbooked from Pink Tartan. She says that there was a lot of pressure, and that the show was the designer's baby and she didn't want anyone to ruin it even slightly. Laura's photo, however, is stunning. She's got great body language, a great shape, and a great face according to Nigel. Cutrone says that she'd like to see a bit more energy up in the joint, and asks what Laura's closed body language was about. Laura explains about her friend passing away right before the competition, and says that her face was letting the emotion through but her body was trying to hold back the pain. Cutrone digs this explanation, and I have to say that being able to translate verbally what you were trying to do seems like a giant plus in Laura's favor. Tyra adds that Laura's picture is her most vulnerable and most beautiful yet.
is Kyle, and Beverly commends her for having her old waistline. She likes the photo overall, and says that Kyle's eyes are extraordinary. Cutrone adds that she sees a model. Then there's perfect Azmarie. Oh dude, the photo is so good. Beverly says that it's hot and original. Cutorne throws some adjectives into the mix, saying that the photo is smoldering hot and boiling hot. She loves it. Tyra interprets the picture as Azmarie asking the boys if they want a piece of her hot, maple booty. I somehow doubt that was Azmarie's intent. is Seymone, and Nigel thinks that she has the best close-up in the face. Beverly says that Seymone knows her body, and adds that she loves the photograph. Raves all around! Then there's Eboni, who of course tied with Sophie for the most bookings. Before the photo even comes up, Tyra says that she hopes it's not too sexual because Eboni is supposed to be a sweet 30-Never. Eboni looks worried. The photo is indeed sexual, but still gets raves from the judges. Nigel loves it, and Cutrone explains that she's Matisse-esque. There's a word for that in French that sounds better, but I can't figure out how to spell it. Sorry, Francophiles! Tyra thinks that the photo is slamming, too, because she's thrown in a shot of pureness with her sexuality.
The judges deliberate. Cutrone thinks that Sophie's shot isn't her best, but it's far better than some of the others. Nigel wonders if "good" cuts it if you want to become America's Top Model. However, Beverly argues that she has something special if she booked four out of eight shows. Alisha has not been doing it for Cutrone, who wants to see her bust out with the wild and amazing-ness that she suspects Alisha has inside. Beverly says that Alisha is not very creative in her photo. Catherine's eyes are telling a story, and her photo would be a genius eye makeup campaign. Cutrone thinks that Catherine's mind is creating a lot of mayhem, and right now she's showing more mind than modeling. Nigel concurs that Catherine was a wretched mess at panel. Ashley is still a bit frightened according to Nigel, and fear is not going to sell gallons of maple syrup. Cutrone doesn't know what she'd do with Ashley's shot, and doesn't know of a magazine where it would be featured.
Annaliese has animalistic realness and Nigel loves her bone structure, but he can't get past the "presenter" in her. Cutrone says that she sometimes has dreams of Annaliese talking. That... is disturbing, mostly for Annaliese. However, Tyra argues that Annaliese booked her Toronto shows because of her personality. She's proof that modeling isn't all just about how tall you are. Beverly thinks that Kyle is a fashion model, and loves the way she looks. Nigel, however, isn't a huge fan of her photo. Cutrone thinks that she looks like Barbara Eden's avatar, which is a good thing. Azmarie's shot is fabulous, and Nigel is living for her. Beverly thinks that Azmarie will work a lot, because she's different, and original, and a star. Tyra adds that Azmarie is getting a little cocky these days. This could lead to them trying to take her down a peg, eventually. Seymone's photo is beautiful, and Nigel says that her face is the most dreamboat of the bunch. Eboni is hot, and Kelly Cutrone is now in love with her. Nigel thinks that she's pretty but nothing special in person, but her photo is a whole different matter. Cutrone has mixed feelings on Laura's photo, but likes Laura in general and thinks that she's been consistently strong. Nigel sees both a tenderness and a rock-n-roller in Laura, and thinks that this yin-yang quality is exciting.
With that, the judges have reached a decision. Eboni is granted best photo of the week, with bonus kudos for tying for most go-see bookings. Azmarie is named the runner-up, with no mention of her cockiness. Sophie gets the third photo, and the Brits and their collective low self-confidence celebrate. Seymone is called , followed by Laura and Kyle. This means that all the Americans have been called, and four Brits are in the bottom. Alisha is called , followed by Annaliese. This leaves Ashley and Catherine in the bottom two. Two beautiful young ladies stand before Tyra, but she has only one photo in her hand. And that photo represents the girl who is still in the running towards becoming America's Top Model. Both girls booked zero shows, thus failing a test of "realness." Real disappointing! Who stays in the competition? It's Catherine, who of course has the stronger photo. Tyra reminds Catherine that she has an Era-descent face that can do anything. However, she has to hold on to her confidence, and could have booked at least one show if she felt as good as she looked in her photo.
Ashley is charming even in defeat, and Tyra tells her that she should be a presenter. She adds that Ashley's kids are really lucky to have her as a mom, because she is going to make them into amazing, fantastic people like herself. Ashley tells us that she's sad but also happy. The happiness comes from Tyra Banks saying that she has a great personality, and not seeing her as a total zero. The reasons for sadness are obvious. Ashley didn't think that she was going to stay even this long, and also is happy that she'll get to see her kids. Let's hope that there's no lingering depression that forces her into a life of haggis when she's back across the pond.
week: The Brits apparently toss some sort of stuffed animal thingy that belongs to, I think, Laura, in the pool. Drama ensues. And Lisa D'Amato is on hand to help the girls star in their own music video! Methinks the Brits are going to channel some old fashioned girl power!
Potes can be tweeted @traciepotes or emailed at potesypotes@gmail.com. She is totally rooting for the Brits.
