We're two-thirds of the way through the season, and thus the impending Ann meltdown comes partially to fruition. The girls start off with a surprise visit from Miss J. and designer Zac Posen, and learn that they will be walking in a show for Zac's new line, Z Space. But the girls aren't the only ones who will be in the show. Several professional models are on board as well, and are told by Miss J. to be mean and catty and try to throw our still-fragile contestants off their game. They are real naturals at this. Several of the girls dismiss the professional models as whack bitches, but a few don't fare so well. Esther tries really hard to show her personality, but instead winds up looking like she has a prosthetic leg. Ann takes the model bullying the hardest, and completely freaks herself out. She is a total disaster on the runway. Chelsey works it the best of all, and gets five looks from Zac's new line for her troubles.
Instead of a photo shoot, the girls must shoot a commercial for H2T water, which is not in fact a real drink. Nigel directs. As if the challenge of memorizing a few simple lines weren't enough, the girls must be in bathing suits, on roller skates, and kissing a boy. Kayla really freaks out at the prospect of kissing a boy, and finally tells Jay Manuel that she was sexually assaulted when she was eleven. This is the first time Kayla has told this to anybody, including her family and her girlfriend. Jay actually seems to offer her some words of comfort, and basically ends by telling her to go to therapy. Determined not to lose the competition because of her psychological distress, Kayla works her way through the commercial and does a fine, if not exceptional, job. She also realizes that talking about things is helpful, which bodes well for her future prospects.
Liz biffs the commercial royally and then laughs about it at every turn, which really pisses off Nigel. Esther continues on her path of having zero personality and impresses no one with her performance. And then there's Ann. She's completely freaked out about the possibility of falling on her roller skates and having people laugh at her. Thus, she looks absolutely frightened the whole time and continuously falls. It's really a terrible performance, replete with lots of tears and a continual patina of misery. I hope Jay suggested therapy to her, too, because this girl needs it. Chris takes the top prize for the week with her bubbly if cheesy performance, while Esther and Ann land in the bottom two. And you know they're not going to eliminate Ann. Esther is toast. Kosher toast.
Previously on Top Model: The girls competed to be a Grammy girl, with Kayla taking home the ultimate prize, which was to give out prizes. The photo shoot for the week had the girls embodying famous fashion designers, and made clear who reads Vogue on a regular basis and who doesn't. Liz's portrayal of a cock-eyebrowed John Galliano finally broke Ann's top photo winning streak, while Kendal got the boot. Seven bitches remain!
The girls return to their house after the last judging, and Liz squeals with delight upon seeing her best-of-week photo framed as digital artwork. She tells us that she feels privileged to have broken Ann's five-week winning streak. Liz doesn't want to get conceited and bigheaded, but at the same time she feels great. From homeless shelter to having your photo displayed as digital art! Someone alert Lifetime to this moving story of courage. Ann is a little sadsy-sads about the whole situation. She says that she's not particularly worried about going home, but she is getting a bit nervous because the other girls have improved so much. Ann should get worried about the commercials and runway shows that loom in her future, because that shit is not going to be pretty. Esther reminds us that she was in the bottom two at the last panel and, per Tyra's instructions, has to come out more personality-wise. She also needs to blow her nose, because she always sounds stuffy. Esther is going to try to show more of herself, which I don't think is actually a good strategy given how sweet but dull she seems. When in doubt, adopt the personality of the contestant who is most irritating but has some sort of disease or secret pain.
There is Tyra Mail: "To be a top model, you will need help with posin'. Love, Tyra." Before you can say "Joan Crawford eyebrows," Miss J. enters to give the girls some information. They have a fashion show tomorrow, and are about to meet their amazing designer -- Mr. Zac Posen himself! Zac emerges imp-like and with some level of panache, and all of the girls must really regret being bare-faced and in their PJs. Chelsey, who seems like the one true fashionista of the bunch, is freaking out. Zac tells the girls that tomorrow they will be launching his new brand, Z-Spoke, and that they'll be accompanied on the catwalk by some real-live professional models. It's a challenge, and so Zac and Miss J. will be judging them. Ann tells us that she's not sure if she's ready to walk in a real runway show, given how whack her walk is. She tells us flatly that it's exciting but nervewracking at the same time. It is also exciting but nervewracking to see her impending breakdown telegraphed so soon into the episode.
The girls get the opportunity to have a little Q&A session with Zac, and Esther first asks him who his favorite models are and why. Zac says that for him, generally, it's all about attitude, confidence, and personality. Sorry, Esther. Though really she probably couldn't win here unless he answered, "A kosher diet." Chris reminds us that if any challenge involves a display of personality, Esther will struggle. Speaking of Chris, she asks Zac what kind of walk he's looking for. He says that it all depends on the show. He then tells the girls to discover who they are, what they can give, and what their sensuality with movement is and bring all of that to the walk and the outfit. Miss J. gets all serious and tells the girls that Zac is one designer who's actually into the walk. Zac reiterates that it's all about the attitude, and that in fact walking on a runway is a kind of performance -- they have to embody it, become it, and live it. Be one with the clothes hanger! He adds that he loves making stars, which probably gets the girls' hopes up more than it should. Zac's final advice is that the girls should get some rest, since they'll need it for their epic day of bringing their sensuality with movement to the runway.
The morning, the girls meet up with Zac and Miss J., who tells them that the winner of this challenge will get five looks from Zac's Z-Spoke collection. Chelsey drools. The girls get outfitted and Zac goes around telling them to stand up straight and asking for specific alterations or changes. He tells us that it's important for him to have his line flatter a diversity of body types, and that since the beginning of his career it's been a priority to show how different forms look like on the runway. Maybe this means that he won't cover Chris's giant forehead! Because I don't think there's actually that much diversity in the body types this season.
Meanwhile, Miss J. meets with the professional models who will also be on the catwalk today. None of them appear to have much diversity in their body types, either. In any case, Miss J. asks the pro models if they remember the catty models who tortured them when they were first in the business. There are some nods, and Miss J. says that they are going to be those mean girls today. I'm sure Tyra's starting a parallel It Gets Better Project to offer support to the girls after they are totally broken by the torture that she has designed specifically for them. Miss J. adds that they want to see if the newbie models can maintain their composure in the face of bitchery. One pro model clarifies, "You want us to shake them up a little bit and try to shake their confidence?" Yes, exactly. And they get extra points if they can bring Ann to tears.
Zac has the models do a practice walk for him in their runway ensembles. Chelsey is told to work her shoulders and hips and to bounce, while Chris displays chic elegance until it turns drag queen. One of the professionally bitchy models says, "He's reallllly having to work hard to make this work." Chris tells us that some of her counterparts might have been a little intimidated by having to work with professional models, but she didn't give a damn and walked like she owned the place. This is the time when being brash, unfeeling or otherwise clueless actually works in your favor. Esther walks and one of the pro models says that she looks constipated. The other girls giggle, I'm sure because it's all part of their "act." Kayla tells us that the pro models were bitchy and adds, "I'm sure they didn't walk out of the womb on the runway." And now I just got a flashback to that awful dancing baby so prevalent in the Ally McBeal days. Horrors.
The show is about to begin! Zac tells us that these are some of the most inexperienced runway models he's ever worked with, but he's sure that with a little bit of confidence they'll sell every piece in the collection. But that confidence is hard to come by when you're Ann and another model says to you, "You're lucky you're on America's Top Model. You're not really... Zac's normal type. I don't think he'd normally hire you, you know?" Poor Ann. She interviews that being with the professional models was intimidating, and she started getting "a little frazzled and stuff." Esther is not faring much better. One model says to her, "Boobs are big, could be hard to work, you know?" Esther replies that she is well aware of her giant knockers, thanks very much.
Andre Leon Talley is on hand to introduce the show, proving that Zac's lip service to diverse body types on the runway is in fact grounded in action. Zac gets the cutest little kid giggle of delight when he sees ALT on the runway, which I think is the appropriate reaction. Jane is up first and seems to do a competent if unremarkable job, as does Esther, who follows. Liz has busted into one of her signature dance moves backstage before going out on the runway and one of the pro models turns to her and says, "Just between you and I, I don't think you're ready." So mean! Liz makes faces behind the model's back and seems unperturbed, though she does stop doing her whack dance. She's okay on the runway, though she does look a bit stern. Kayla also seems to do a fine job. And then it's time for Ann's walk. As she waits to go on the runway one of the pro models taps her on the shoulder and says, "So there's a lot of people out there so just, you know... don't screw it up." A psyched-out looking Ann interviews that the remark really psyched her out. Clearly. As she fears that she's going to fail and worries that she'll buckle under the stress and pressure, we head to commercials.
When we return, Zac tells Ann that she looks amazing and to go out there and have fun. He repeats, "Have fun, have fun, have fun!" but the terror in her eyes reveals that not much fun is about to be had. Ann's walk out on the runway isn't totally horrible, despite the frozen terror on her face, but on the way back her shoe gets caught in her pants and it looks really weird. She doesn't fall, thank goodness. I don't think any of us could take that, especially since some wiseguy in the audience would be bound to yell, "Timber!" Jay tells us that Ann has always been uncomfortable, and is going to have to make some major changes if she's going to survive outside of a beautiful picture.
Chris, meanwhile, asks the model in front of her a question, and the pro model says that the newbies have to figure things out for themselves, and she doesn't give a fuck if they fall on their faces. Chris hilariously interviews, "Lord almighty if I'd a had a chance I would have put my foot so... look, she would have been hurt." Chris's walk looks pretty good, as does Chelsey's, and then it's time for the girls to take a second pass. Esther steps out on the runway, and interviews that personality-filled Esther is on her way. Personality-filled Esther also apparently has a prosthetic leg that she has to swing from the back to the front when she walks. She looks completely cray-cray. Miss J. simply says, "Not good." There is some more unremarkable walking, and Chelsey tells us that she wants to impress Zac Posen big-time. This is her chance, and she works it in her normally subdued fashion while wearing what appear to be cataract sunglasses. We don't see Ann's second pass at the runway, probably because of some FCC regulation about the number of tortuous minutes permitted on an hour-long show. The girls celebrate backstage and someone yells, "We're real models now!" Oh, honey.
Miss J. and Zac dole out the critiques, but first they note that the meanness of the pro models was just an "act." Chris still wants to punch that one bitch, though, and maybe Miss J. too. Zac tells Kayla that she has the body and has elegance, which is something that he always looks for and needs. Chris has to remember to take longer steps. Jane is gorgeous in the face, but Zac says that he needs to see her natural fierceness through her body as well. Miss J. tells Jane not to hold her head high in a haughty fashion, but bring the chin down. He then is quite kind about telling Esther that she has a "shaky" thing about her, and needs to figure out how to get her head to talk to her torso, and her torso to talk to the rest of her body. Chelsey's walk had a smoothness, and Zac thought that she fit the clothing well. And then there's Ann. Zac tells her that she had a little panic moment before she went out, however she's rare and rarity is his definition of luxury. I don't think that makes any sense, but I'm not the boy genius. Zac tells Ann that her rarity is powerful, but she has to work on her confidence. A red-faced Ann interviews that she's trying to work on her confidence, but it's not coming along particularly quickly. Well, a $100,000 prize would sure buy you a lot of co-pays at the therapist's office, so let's hope she keeps it together for a few more weeks. In the end, Chelsey wins! She is thrilled with her new fashion loot.
The morning, Ann is eating some sort of mysterious scrambled egg soup. Seriously, what is that? I'm sure it wasn't part of Karolina Kurkova's smoothie recipe. Jay Manuel shows up at the house, with Nigel in tow. The girls are getting really sick of unannounced houseguests. Jay announces that the girls will be doing their first commercial today, and Nigel is the director. Chris is excited, because this is one challenge in which having a personality will really come in handy. The commercial is for H2T water, which is not a real product. If it were, however, it would come in low-carb brownie and umeboshi flavors. Nigel tells the girls that they'll be roller-skating and kissing boys in this commercial. Ann's face sinks even further than it is already sunken. She tells us that being tall on roller skates is not a very good combination. It's true that her center of gravity may be problematic in this case. Kayla, meanwhile, is balking at kissing the boy. Jay tells her that they want a real, sexually charged moment. She is not happy. The commercial will be shot right on Venice Beach, and hair and makeup is already set up outside of their house! It must be nice when the job comes to you.
The girls head to get haired, made up, and outfitted, and I am sorry to tell you that it appears they'll be wearing American Apparel bathing suits. While Liz tries to practice her lines and her kiss on Chris, Kayla starts to tear up. She tells us that she couldn't get the kiss out of her head, and it's deeper to her than being gay - she feels personally uncomfortable with intimacy with men. Jay sees Kayla's distress and pulls her aside for a little talk. He asks if she's cool with this, and she shakes her head no. Jay asks why it bothers her, and Kayla drops the bomb that she was sexually assaulted when she was eleven years old and this whole challenge freaks her out. She cries harder as she says that she doesn't want to kiss men or interact with men, because they scare her. As she says, "I really don't want to do it," we cut to commercials.
When we return, Kayla tells us that the idea of kissing a man freaked her out and gave her a memory flashback. The poor thing. I would like to change my earlier statement and give the approximately 6,500 therapy co-pays to Kayla. When "I was molested for a year and a half" is thrown into the mix, "I'm tall" becomes a bit less compelling. Jay offers some empathetic words to Kayla, and keeps a respectful distance while he does so. I actually think he's trying to keep it kind yet professional rather than simply shitting his pants over what to say, but I could be wrong. Kayla says that if she was offered a job where she had to really go at it with a guy, she'd probably refuse it. She's never talked to anyone about this, including her mom, until now. Oh, yikes. I wish that wasn't true, for so many reasons. Kayla says that, given that neither her family nor any of her friends know this, it was pretty hard to just blurt it out to an orange man on Venice Beach twenty minutes before she had to roller skate with fake water in her hand.
Jay tells Kayla that, having gone through something so horrible at such a young age without having a support structure around, she hasn't yet healed from it. There's still much work to be done. Jay also has apparently recommended therapy, and tells Kayla that she can't go through life declining jobs that entail physical contact with dudes. He emphatically says, "You have to deal with this." And possibly enter a profession that doesn't exploit sexuality in quite such a consistent way. Social workers rarely have to kiss random dudes! But clearly it's crucial for her to deal with this, and if she continues modeling she'll doubtlessly be in this situation some of the time. Kayla interviews that she let it all out, and that Jay had a way of bringing her back. She needs to get herself together so she can be everything she wants to be in modeling. Jay and Kayla hug, and then it's time to watch some girls-on-skates debacles.
Nigel walks through the commercial with all of the girls, who are already on skates. The more they wear them, the more they can fall for our amusement. It's very important for them to rock the last line, which they will say as they cling to their beefy male model lover. Kayla is continuing to have bad memories. She knows you're supposed to check your emotions at the door, but she's only human. And the fact that she's wearing a skimpy bathing suit bottom, vest, and roller skates can't be helping matters. Kayla forgets her first line right off the bat, but tells us that the purpose of being in this competition is to win, so she's got to put her past experiences out of her head and make it work. She starts again and does a pretty good job until she has to skate up and get close to the male model. Kayla looks nervous and forgets her line, while Jay looks on. Nigel feeds her the line and Kayla delivers it. She turns her head to the side so the male model kisses her neck, which is a little awkward but fine. Jay is impressed that Kayla put aside some painful memories and was able to deliver a believable performance.
Liz is up and says that she wasn't nervous, because she completely memorized her lines and is very confident. I'm sure this means that we're about to enjoy a royal fuck-up. The minute that Liz has to list off the water's ingredients (you know, acai berries and that sort of shit) she starts fucking up and thinks it's hilarious. To her credit, she does know how to roller-skate backwards. But the laughing, it is bad. Nigel tells us that Liz was extremely disappointing to him, and it's like she didn't take any of it seriously. She would say the line, and laugh. Then she would mess it up, and laugh. Does she not know that the proper reaction to forgetting your lines is a full mental breakdown? But for real: she's annoying. She totally forgets that one simple line at the end, and laughs at that too. Nigel can't even hide his irritation and asks her if she knows that it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to put on a TV commercial. No one finds it amusing when the light's going down and she's laughing. He certainly doesn't find it funny. Liz just got a straight-up lecture from the teacher. And totally wants to laugh about it!
Esther is up and is really trying hard with that personality thing. Jay screams out the direction, "Having fun, Esther! Having fun!" Esther kind of moves her head forward and back with a half-smile and Jay asks, "That's having fun?" I mean, for an orthodox Jew, that might be really good times. Jay continues to tell Esther to have fun. She continues to give a relentlessly dull performance. Jay tells us that he's never seen a performance that's so under-energized and so flat. Nigel has to go so far as to quote ALT and say that it's total dreckitude.
Jane is up , and to put it mildly she is not so steady on her skates. She tells us that the last time she roller-skated was in sixth grade, and it's a toss up as to whether it was more embarrassing to fall down then or now. I'm guessing there are more bruises now, at least. Chelsey is , and she too can neither skate nor remember her lines. Saving us from all the dreck is Chris, who is a mean backwards skater and knows how to say "acai berry." She also is very convincing with the male model. Nigel tells us that Chris went for it, wanted to do it, and nailed her lines. She was one of the best of the day.
And now on to the opposite of the best of the day. Jay asks a visibly crying (through sunglasses!) Ann what's bothering her so much. She says it's the potential of falling down and being embarrassed. Jay reminds her that the judges love her no matter what she does, and she needs to remember the positive stuff. A still-crying Ann tells us that she's worried about crashing either into the dirt or into a cameraperson. It is pretty mean to put these girls on roller skates, though maybe not as mean as the treadmill runway. In any case, mean is par for the course so there's no reason to be surprised. Ann says that there are a lot of people around who are going to laugh, and that's something she's had to deal with her whole life because she's tall. And here we thought it was short people who had no reason to live.
And then Ann's commercial shoot starts. She quite unconvincingly says that looking great on the outside starts with feeling good on the inside. In fact, looking terrified on the outside starts with putting your feet in roller skates. That first line is said sitting down, and so it's really the best it gets. Ann stands up and starts to roll forward while saying her line, and then falls spectacularly. I think she actually hits her head on the ground. While there's a big collective cry of, "Ooh!" it doesn't appear that anyone actually laughs. Okay, except for maybe me at home for the rest of this sequence. And Jay, who is totally stifling a laugh but has a telltale smile. Nigel offers Ann the use of kneepads, which she wisely takes. She could seriously snap about 13 of her bones on one fall, so I think they'd be better off going with full-body padding. Ann very sadly interviews that everyone is expecting a lot of her, so she starts to psych herself out. And then she gets mad at herself because she's psyching herself out, and that makes it even worse. Like a circle in a circle, like a wheel within a wheel.
Eventually, the extras in the commercial have to basically push Ann from one to another. They soon learn not to let go even for a second until she is safely delivered. Her escorts also devise a special way of skating with Ann, in which her knees are bent and her back is at a 45-degree angle to the ground as they hold her. It is, quite honestly, pretty hilarious. Jay tells us that Ann's biggest problem is her fear of failure and making herself look like a fool in front of other people. As a result, Ann completely psyched herself out. As this girl has been through enough torture, Nigel mercifully yells "Cut!" before she has to kiss the dude. At the end of the shoot Nigel simply says, "You're alive," which is as high praise as it comes in this circumstance. Ann tearfully interviews that not doing well in the commercial makes her scared, because even a few screw-ups can get you sent home. As a dreadful chord of doom plays and Ann ruminates on the cyclical nature of being freaked out, we head to commercials.
When we return, the girls discuss the shoot back at the house. Chelsey asks Kayla why she had such a hard time with it, and Kayla tells the others that she was sexually assaulted for about a year and a half when she was younger. She also tells them that no one, from her girlfriend to her family to her friends, knows about it. Kayla interviews that she now realizes that it's healthy to talk about it, and she's going to deal with it. She feels better about it and doesn't think it will affect her in the competition. She wants to win, and won't let her lot in life get in the way of it. In reality TV, your terrible lot in life is actually seen as a positive, so I'm glad she's not needlessly worried.
With that, we're backstage pre-panel! Tyra does a weird little shuffle as she enters, and ALT asks if her skirt is so tight she can't walk. Tyra replies, "No, I'm just being dumb." TRUER WORDS. The girls enter, and I think all but Liz are wearing leggings, with varying degrees of success. There are prizes, there are judges. Zac Posen is the guest judge. He looks like a little doll with plastic hair. Jane is up first for evaluation. The judges watch her best take, which is pretty good. Zac commends her on her magic moment with the male model at the end of the commercial, and ALT agrees that it worked. Nigel says that Jane had the lines down, the light looked good, and her outfit looked good. However, he still wants to see more of her. In other words, Jane might not be quite as dull as Esther but she's inching closer.
Kayla is up . Even though she has no idea what the water ingredients are, she manages to fudge it somewhat convincingly. Well, not that convincingly. But what Tyra likes about Kayla in this commercial is that she looks urban, so a black girl can look at her redheaded pasty self and still identify with her. Zac says that he liked the beginning, liked the movement, and liked how Kayla looked, but it fell apart at the end because she looked so uncomfortable with the male model. She has to make it believable, and love humanity. Kayla blessedly does not tell the judges about the sexual assault. I do not want to hear what Tyra does with that.
Chelsey is . Nigel tells her that she started off a mess, but it got better and better. I don't know that I'd go that far. Tyra says that Chelsey wasn't bad, but the performance was a little wooden. She wants more flirtation and fun. ALT wants more snap, crackle, and pop. In other words: dull. There's a bit of a critical dull mass from these girls, which is probably why they can't get rid of Liz. She's annoying, but at least she might cut a bitch and cause some excitement. Finally there's Esther. Boy, do her boobs look extra ginormous in her bathing suit. Even this can't add excitement to her flat performance. The judges make a series of "Wah wahhhh" sounds. Zac looks at Tyra and says that the commercial was a mess in every way. Nigel agrees, and says that the biggest problem is that Esther wasn't memorable in any way. Tyra says that Esther's voice has a natural muffler on it, and so she has to practice in the mirror and, I quote, "Push past your muffle-roowah-oorahg." I know I didn't transcribe that so well, but to help you understand the sound I will say that it's like a muffled (!) version of that part at the end of "Maneater" when Darryl Hall sings, "The woman is wild oooooowoooahooo!" But Esther, of course, is not wild. ALT tells Esther that her commercial was a mess, but today is the first time that she looks like a model who could go on a go-see.
The judges deliberate. Nigel says that Chelsey has the potential to be a model, but he questions whether she has the potential to be a top model. Zac Posen says that he could paint her face on, send her out, and know she's not going to fall and will sell it fine. That sounds kind of like high praise. Liz's commercial didn't work. ALT thought she had nerves of steel at Zac's show, but she really has nerves of chiffon. You already know what Nigel thinks of her. Jane can do beauty and will sell a lot because she's so commercial, according to Zac. Tyra agrees that she has a fantastic look and could be on runway or magazine covers, but she doesn't know if Jane will ever get the opportunity to do so because her personality is so "Wraaaaaah." Wraaaaaah is not a compliment, in case you were confused. Nigel actually forgot Esther when he went home and reviewed all of the girls' performances. Tyra says that her commercial was nothing. Zac agrees that she's just a little boring. ALT says that Esther has potential, and is not the worst of the lot today.
Zac loves Chris and her big personality. Nigel says that she came with spark, had fun with the lines, and he enjoyed shooting her. Kayla looked fabulous in her commercial, according to ALT, and evoked the urban girl with the big hoop earrings. Zac says that the makeup looked great on her, and she embodies the fine balance between high fashion and commercial. ALT says that the deer in headlights look usually works for Ann, but this commercial did not. Zac says that Ann has a face that can do beauty, but she might not be on TV commercials, and that might not cut it. Ann looked good in the very first shot when she was drinking the water, but Tyra says from that moment it was dreckitude. And with that, the judges have reached a decision.
The girls return. Seven beautiful ladies stand before Tyra. And one becloaked wizard sits behind her, tapping his cane on the desk. Oh, ALT. Tyra has only six photos -- they're screen grabs from the commercials. The first photo, which represents the best performance of the week, goes to Chris. Ann gives a shifty downward glance, which I assume means that she is crestfallen. Jane is called , followed by Chelsey, Kayla, and Liz. That was a narrow escape. This leaves Ann and Esther in the bottom two. Ann had best photo five weeks in a row and should be applauded for that, but America's Top Model is not just about taking fantastic pictures. It's about speaking, and about presenting yourself. And the judges do not think that Ann is capable of that. Then there's Esther, whose pictures are not as strong as Ann's but are still beautiful, edgy, interesting, and commercial at the same time. She also listened to Tyra's advice about pulling her hair back. However, she's blah. So who stays in this competition? Ann, duh. As Tyra gives Ann her photo, she says the reason why her name was called has something to do with Ann's fantastic photos, but a lot to do with Ann's beautiful awkwardness that she needs to learn how to work.
Tyra hugs her curvy sister Esther and says that she's an amazing example for young girls about beautiful curvy bodies. Esther has to continue to study and work on her muffler voice, and Tyra wants to see her in high fashion magazines. Esther is going to try to open herself up more moving forward. She says that she's sad about leaving, but she wants to continue modeling when she goes home and perhaps be on the cover of Italian Vogue one day on her own rights. Esther does seem very sweet, so I wish her the best in whatever she makes of her inevitably dull life.
time: The girls head to Italy! The continuation of Ann's meltdown is served with a side of Missoni marinara.
