Another Brick In The Wall

The Girls Go To The Great Wall - The girls get all dressed up and go to the mall in an attempt to modernize traditional Chinese gowns worn by four great beauties, who clearly looked nothing like our remaining hamsters. While Jenah has an identity crisis and commits the fatal error of admitting she doesn't know who she is, Saleisha and Chantal excel at a shoot at the Great Wall, photographed by Tyra. But in the end, it's Bianca's mediocrity as a model that gets her, and her special brand of stank, sent home.

Just Let The Bitch In The Shower, Already

The photo shoot sees the girls posing in front of a burning car in the desert, but sadly, there is only emotional scarring, and no actual charring. Tyra announces that six girls will be going to China before booting the seventh -- Ambreal.

Reality Television Pseudo-Fame Costs

The Girls Who Crawl - Tyra gives the girls a master class in video ho-dom, which is also helpful to that segment of the viewing audience who has always wanted to do a wall slide, but just didn't know what to do with their arms. The girls put their learning to use in an Enrique Iglesias video, which has Lisa and Heather in bit feature parts. Heather faints from the heat and lack of nourishment, but rebounds quickly after a banana. And despite the fact that Chantal is the much more annoying final two member, it is the too-big-too-small Sarah who is sent home.

Viva Las Vagus

The Girl Who Suddenly Collapsed - Rebecca passes out, which seems like it's going to be a big deal, but then it turns out not to be such a big deal after all. Ditto with Michelle, who admits she's a big ol' queer. Ditto with Sarah, who is eliminated. Okay, so no one actually thought that last one was going to be a big deal in the first place, but it seemed rude not to mention it at all.

Cassie has an eating disorder, or else she doesn't, depending on when you ask her. The girls are made to do a beauty shot sans makeup (an ironic twist for an episode practically coated in Cover Girl), which gives Janice a lot to work with. Tyra lets her biases shine through. Julie gets the axe. And just when you think you've had enough, there's Danilo.
