We're down to the final four! The girls continue their stay in Morocco and have a meeting with Franca Sozzani, in which they get to show her their portfolios along with a little personality. Franca seems to be drawn to Brittani, and Molly mostly stays silent, probably so she won't say something nasty and inappropriate. In her case, it seems like the best strategy. comes a lesson in dancing seductively while balancing a full tea tray on your head. It's as hard as it sounds. For the related challenge, candles are added to the tray and the whole thing turns into a much more flammable version of the old library-book-on-the-head trick. Molly walks down a staircase with her makeshift tea service hat, and is doing well until she trips on her dress and the tray falls. She looks mad, and is mad. Despite having a whole lot of trouble while practicing, Brittani glides down the stairs, tea tray solidly placed, and shows that she knows how to move her hips. Hannah is just fine, while Alexandria gets cocky and tries to drop it like it's hot. She instead drops the whole tea service, despite having an unusually large and flat head. Her overconfidence costs her the challenge win, and it's Brittani who emerges victorious. She gets a private walking lesson with Miss J., and is nice enough to allow a desperately-in-need-of-help Hannah to come with her.
The girls spend some time in the marketplace, and Hannah decides that it would be fun to have a snack at a tent featuring goat heads. I know: Yum. The girls eschew eyeballs in favor of some goat brains, and Brittani gets a vicious stomachache afterwards. It seems like it might be psychological, since she appears to spit out the brains rather than ingesting them, but who knows. Her tummy continues to bother her through the shoot, which has the girls posing in the market with lovely dresses by Daniella Issa Helayel. Photographer Friedemann Hauss is frustrated with Hannah, who gets lost and is too posey. Alexandria continues to do weird things with her tense mouth, even after Jay tells her to loosen up and stop being so controlling. Brittani does fine, but it's Molly whose photo proves to be far better than the rest. She moves on to the final three, as does Brittani. Alexandria and Hannah duke it out in the bottom two, and in a surprise turn Alexandria goes home.

Previously on America's Top Model: the girls headed to Morocco, which is "so not America." To wit: there were snakes and camels and shit. Alexandria was very contrived in her photo shoot and annoyed the piss out of the photographer. But it was Kasia who picked a bad time to get self-conscious about her body and so was sent home. Four bitches remain!
The girls return to their Marrakech apartment and see Molly's best-of-week photo displayed as digital art. Molly is pleased that she looks like she's got a donk, of the badonk variety. The camel hump will do that. Molly tells us that she really thinks she'll get to the top two. It sounds arrogant, but I think she's probably right. Brittani, meanwhile, says that she's had to keep raising the bar, which is good because it means she's done more than she expected. Alexandria was in the bottom two again, of course, and says that she's very nervous. We flash back to Tyra telling her that the judges aren't sure if they can trust her demeanor on set. It's like déjà vu, especially given that she's still wearing that stupid hat for her interviews. Alexandria is disappointed in herself, but also happy to have a second chance. She says that she needs to prove herself. Hannah, meanwhile, knows that she can beat this competition. I think she means "the" competition, but I also like the determination to actually triumph over the experience of being on this show. I imagine it's not as easy as it sounds.
As always, Hannah is on a mission to convince us that she has a personality. She then says that each girl "stands" for something different. Alexandria asks her to explain, and Hannah tells her that she's the California surfer girl who's got some spice. Alexandria says that she stands for a lot more, and Hannah's all like, "Oh yeah, your backstory." Alexandria gets all serious as she says that she has her reasons for this, and wants to change the world with it. Okay, everybody just calm down here. Unless Alexandria is going to reveal on the show that she killed Osama bin Laden, I think that she needs to choose more attainable goals. Hannah then tells Brittani that she never thought she'd meet a girl from a trailer park. Okay, Hannah needs to quit while she's only drunk enough to be modestly offensive. She says that Brittani breaks boundaries given where she comes from. I mean, it doesn't seem like her parents are cousins or anything. And some of those double-wides are really nice. Hannah turns to Molly, and says that what she stands for is being scary. That's pretty accurate, actually. We get the clip again about Molly talking about how her anger comes from abandonment issues related to her adoption. And what does Hannah stand for, you may wonder? She's the girl door who will also cut you. With her personality!
There is a knock on the door, and Miss J. enters. He tells the girls that they're going to be seeing a very important client today, and will need their portfolios. They follow him onto the patio where Franca Sozzani awaits! Franca is, of course, the editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia who, even while being kind of scary, continues to be a welcome respite from Ann Shoket. Miss J. tells the girls that it's not every day that a fledgling model has tea with Franca Sozzani, and that he'd like them to show her their books. Hannah is first, and Franca asks what attracts her to this work, and what she thinks it can give her. Hannah says that she wants to make images that are in a magazine that you don't flip by. Rather, you tear them out and put them on your wall. She also thinks the whole world of fashion is amazing. That response doesn't really get personality points, does it? Hannah asks Franca how she got started, and Franca says she started much like the girls... by chance. She adds that modeling is not easy work, and tells the girls that they have to use more of their personality and use their bodily "mistakes" to their advantage. So if they have funky teeth or legs or whatever, it doesn't matter -- they have to find a way to turn those into an asset.
Brittani shows Franca her portfolio, and explains that she's from a small town. Miss J. asks how many of the girls have really looked at Italian Vogue before the competition, and Franca interjects to let all of us know that we can read it online. Brittani says that her mom mocked her for being a hoarder because she'd get American Vogue in the mail and save every single issue under her bed. Her mom encouraged her to throw them away, but Brittani would not. The day that they find a cat skeleton under a pile of Vogues is the day when her mom really needs to take charge of this situation. Hannah says that she kept catching Franca looking at Brittani, and wonders if she didn't show enough personality to stand out. I always feel bad for the poor girl who gets the "no personality" complex on this show. And it does seem that Hannah has a personality, even if that personality is largely focused on accusations of being devoid of personality. And often drunk.
Alexandria, meanwhile, asks Franca what her favorite part has been. Favorite part of what, you may ask? We may never know. Franca loves photography, and says that she likes to have good relations with the photographers, and also to discover photographers. Basically, I guess, she could give a rat about models. Brittani asks if Franca thinks that E-zines will threaten printed magazines. Franca doesn't think so. Until all planes have complimentary wireless access, I hope that she's right. Brittani tells us that she could have stood out more, but she didn't want to "overshine" everyone else. She adds that Molly hardly talked at all. In Molly's case, I think that's a smart strategic choice. Franca tells the girls that they're lucky to be there, but there can only be one winner. And for the girls who aren't the winner, things aren't necessarily over. They start from here. Well that's relatively encouraging. Molly says that it was weird and pretty intimidating to have Franca right there. The hair alone would be enough to make me quiver with fear.
After Franca leaves, Miss J. has another special guest he'd like them to meet. A lady emerges with a tea tray on her head. The tea tray contains a teapot, a few cups, and sugar and milk and the whole deal. Alexandria describes this as, "Very cultural." Awesome. J. explains that this woman, whose name is Noor Talbi, is a professional tea tray dancer. Who wants to go in with me in opening a tea tray dancing salon stateside? Nobody? Okay, then. Noor says that being able to dance and move your body while having a full tray on your head requires great balance and dexterity. Noor says the word "dexterity" like she's slowly making love to it. She's blowing dexterity's mind with her pronunciation. Hannah says that this is a cool spin on the old-school exercise of walking with a library book on your head. It's like a library book with a tea pot on it, to be precise. Alexandria tells us that she has good posture and a very big, flat head. Isn't she full of advantages in the challenges this season?
Each girl grabs a tray and Noor instructs them as to how to try to keep it there. Molly has a pointy head, which does not bode well. Brittani drops a whole tray of stuff, and amongst the clanking of the falling tea set Miss J. says that in such a situation you want to maintain your composure and be fierce and fabulous. Like, five more things fall off of Brittani's head as he says this. Molly explains that Brittani was dropping stuff every fifteen seconds, and we see corresponding visual evidence. Hannah is having a hard time of it as well. Molly starts off tea tray challenged, but improves with a little time. You know, every time I see the words "tea tray" I just want to recite "Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat" from Alice in Wonderland. Certainly, there are plenty of tea trays in the sky in this situation. Alexandria tells us that the tea tray dance is very sensual but very classy. She then repeatedly goes, "Yeah yeah yeah yeah!" and drops it like it's hot. Because what's more classily cultural than grinding the floor with a pot of Darjeeling on your head? Miss J. yells at the models to keep their composure, and in response Brittani drops her tray again. She tells us that she danced for ten years, and so thought she wouldn't suck so much. Once rehearsal is over, Miss J. tells the girls that they're going to be performing what they've learned in front of a live audience. Brittani is not looking forward to making an ass of herself. Hannah reminds us that there's a lot of pressure to do everything well right now, and even the smallest mistake in a pointless challenge can send someone packing.
After a commercial break, we see Hannah in the girls' house balancing a tea tray on her head while taking off her pants. Now that takes some skill. She does a turn and drops the tray, thus ruining the pantsless tea tray dancer fantasy that you didn't know you had. In full regalia, the girls head to the venue where the famous tea tray dancing takes place. Noor is there in a shiny, sparkly turquoise ensemble and tells the girls that they won't be dancing alone. A crew of professional tea tray dancers will be accompanying them and consistently showing them up. There's one other thing -- the girls will have lit candles on their head trays. Tyra will not be satisfied until someone gets a third degree burn this season. In that sense, she's a lot like us. Noor and J. will choose the winner of the challenge, and that girl will get a one-on-one walking lesson with Miss J. Brittani shares her fear of burning the place down, which seems legit. Alexandria, however, has no such qualms, and simply flicks her hair and tells us she was made to do this. What a specific purpose in life. I actually do think this would be a good career path for her, though, when she finally realizes that the modeling isn't going to work out.
The crowd is set and J. whoops as the dancers start to come down a set of stairs. The pros go first, and then there's Molly. She looks kind of stiff and scared, and then when she's almost down to the bottom of the staircase she trips on her skirt and some items from her tray go flying. I think the candles must be really stuck in there, though, since they don't go anywhere. Molly is so angry at this point that she ignores Miss J.'s advice to try to be cute if items fall off of the tray. She isn't interested in picking anything up from the floor, and just walks off with the tray and few remaining items on her head. Miss J. tells us that when Molly tripped her face became tight and a bit angry. Who could even tell the difference from her regular face? Anyway, her face stayed that way and it was not good.
Brittani is , and though we expect the worst, she rocks it. Noor says that it was a transformation, and she didn't fall down at all or drop her tray. She totally can move, too! Meanwhile, Molly sulks backstage. She says that she hates looking like an idiot, and in this situation she totally looked like an idiot. She's humiliated, and also pissed off. She hates hearing the applause for the others, since she sucked so bad and barely got any. She sips her cup of sour grapes tea and scowls. Hannah is , and while she doesn't drop her tray, she doesn't exactly nail the dance. She sort of waves her arms around for a while, which is maybe the best we can hope for.
Finally, there's Alexandria. She does seem quite adept at this challenge, and Noor tells us that she was very powerful. The other girls seem to think that her victory is a foregone conclusion. Alexandria does a turn in the middle of the crowd, and Molly points out that she's doing well but it's unfair given how flat the top of her head is. Alexandria gets a little sassy with her dance, and then her tray comes crashing down. One awesome lady in the crowd is like, "Bitch, please." Alexandria tries to be cute in picking up her fallen items, and the tray falls again. She finally gets a guy to put the teapot back on her head while she kneels down. Alexandria tells us that most of all, she was really memorable, and she smiled through the whole thing. Even if that place went up in flames, Alexandria would have her cheesy grin throughout and then tell us that ashes are very therapeutic. Miss J. says that Alexandria got overconfident when she felt the audience getting into her. She did that one thing extra, which did not work out so well.
Miss J. and Noor give the girls their critiques. J. asks Molly how she felt after her first mishap. She says that it was horrible, and he cuts her off to tell her that it showed in her face then, and now. J. loved Alexandria's confidence in coming down the stairs, but the moment she started to drop it like it was lukewarm, she became REAL confident. And then we all know what happened. J. was pleasantly surprised by Brittani. She came in shaking, shimmying, wiggling, and twisting, and not a thing came off her head. Hannah looked like she was doing the hula, which is culturally inconsistent. Alexandria is the runner up, and the winner is Brittani. She's excited about her runway lesson with Miss J. He tells her that she can either have a one-on-one lesson, or choose another girl to join her and share in the prize. Brittani picks Hannah, who needs the runway help the most. Hannah is so happy that she starts to cry. Molly snits that the challenges have nothing to do with who goes home anyway, so she's not worried. She knows she can take better pictures than everyone else and adds, "It's fucking tea on my head. Really?" I mean, she has a point there.
We follow Brittani and Hannah as they meet up with Miss J. in a lovely garden. They drop their purses and get to work. J. instructs Brittani to get some more speed, and tells Hannah to relax. He then gives a lesson on turning properly. J. says that they may do something special for the final runway, which will be in a very intimate setting. The something special may involve going from one room to another, so maybe it's in a house? He wants them to practice half turns. Hannah almost kills him with her half-turn cluelessness. She really is not the most natural walker, and is the cause of a lot of horrified face on the part of Miss J. Hannah says that she really needed the help, and will now be more confident as she works on the areas Miss J. designated. I think those areas are "all of them."
The girls walk through a giant marketplace, and Molly notes that she is hungry. Hannah points to an establishment that looks "really authentic and interesting." They sit down in front of a whole bunch of goats' heads. Accompanying the goats heads are brains and eyeballs. The brains look just like brains. The eyeballs, however, look oddly like chicken wings. A guy bites into an eyeball with relish, just to prove that it can be done. Hannah proposes that they all eat brains. She is the only one who seems completely nonplussed by this. The girls each take a little chunk of goat brain, toast with them, and then pop them in their mouths. Brittani instantly starts gagging. She tells us that the texture of a brain is squishy and gooey and disgusting. It was gross and disgusting and perhaps uncooked, which can't be good. I mean, Yaya got off light with that umeboshi. It looks like Brittani spits out her brains, and it's unclear if the other girls' brains get all the way down to their stomachs or not. No one seems to have gotten any smarter through ingestion or osmosis.
Back at the house, there is Tyra Mail: "Ah, the sweet smell of Sokces. Love, Tyra." Brittani thinks that they're going to do something really stinky. Hannah suggests that maybe they'll do something in the market and can then go shopping again. At dinner, Brittani hands her meal over to Alexandria. She reminds us that the texture of a goat brain is disgusting, and it messed up her whole digestive system. Now she's just really fucking sick. You'd think she'd be the heartiest from having to eat squirrels all her life or whatever. As Brittani looks miserable and ill, Hannah notes that for some reason she felt really wrong about eating the eyeball. Brittani heads to bed, hoping that she can throwup and be fresh and brainless for tomorrow's photo shoot.
The morning, Hannah notes that she wants to go back to the marketplace and spend all of her money, on items like t-shirts that say, "I ate goat brains and all I got was a persistent case of food poisoning!" Brittani, meanwhile, would like to die. She says that it's going to be a huge struggle for her to perform well at the photo shoot. The girls head out and meet Jay Manuel in the Medina, which is the largest outdoor market in Morocco. He says that they'll be in the marketplace for their shoot, wearing designs by Daniella Issa Helayel, who has dressed celebrities including Scarlett Johansson and Kate Middleton. The story of the girls being on a journey, which started last week with camels in the desert, will continue. The very fancy photographer for this shoot is Friedemann Hauss. He tells the girls that they should do some movements, and immerse themselves in local culture. In the past day they've balanced tea trays on their heads and eaten goat brains. I'd consider them immersed.
The girls get ready, and Jay asks Brittani if she's still jetlagged. She explains that she's not feeling so well, and so she's just taking a few moments to chill out while she gets a manicure. She assures him that she'll be ready for the shoot. Hannah is first on set, looking more than ever like Portia de Rossi. Jay wants her to feel inspired by the environment, and to have the story of the journey come alive for her. Hannah exits from a giant door as Friedemann shoots her and Jay tells her to live in the moment. Jay pulls her aside to note that she's getting a little lost in her weird, wafty movements rather than having a real moment in front of the camera. She tries again, this time imagining that she's seeing her Moroccan lover. Unfortunately for her, she does the exact same weird wafty movements. She's going for "romantic" but gets "glazed," and not in a flavorful donut way. Hannah then gets out of a car, with similarly glazed results. Jay tells us that Hannah started getting a little "airy fairy," and her features were lost. The fact that she has Princess Leia buns all over her head can't be helping with that. Friedemann says that Hannah is very pretty, but she does too much and is a bit posey. After the shoot, Jay tells her that there was a big question mark on her face and she should go back to what she knows. Hannah is upset, and tells us that she doesn't know what was missing on her part.
Molly is , in a really gorgeous ensemble. Jay tells her not to default to profile, since her last two shots have been in profile. Molly tells us that everyone has little things to fix, and the competition will come down to who can actually fix them. If their chances rest on pictures, she says, she know she'll be in the top two. And it is true that the girl can take a photo. Molly stands on a carriage attached to a horse, and does a bang-up job. Friedemann says that she's a very beautiful, modern, editorial girl. Jay screams out, "Gorgeous!" and a huge crowd gathers to observe the scene. Molly loves it, and it seems like she's pretty well positioned to move forward.
Alexandria is , and Jay takes a moment to tell her that what worries him the most is the fact that she needs to let go when she's on camera. He'd hate for the fact that she's so controlled to send her home today. Alexandria sadly nods. Then in an interview, she snits that Mr. Jay took the time before the shoot to say, "You're not going to be so controlling today, right?" which pissed her off. She pouts as she is outfitted in a fez, and tells us that she's letting go of every single rein she has, and that if she just has fun with it in her heart that she'll deliver some "magic stuff." Alexandria spins on set with her fez and her velvet cloak, and says that she felt like a princess disguised as a prince, which was rad. Friedemann looks at some of his photos so far, and says to Jay that Alexandria is not relaxed in her lips. Jay says, "That's the thing she does all the time with her face." Friedemann tells her to be wary of putting any effort in her face. They start shooting again, and Alexandria looks frustrated as she continues to get direction. Molly imitates Alexandria's forced pucker pout, and confirms that she wasn't doing so hot. Alexandria says that when Friedemann told her to relax her face she lost the fun and the control struck back. It showed in her face. Well, her face didn't look so good when it was still having fun, which is why she got the direction in the first place. In her heart, she says, she gave it her all, and she hopes she got a good shot for panel. Friedemann calls it, and tells Alexandria that she's a good mover.
Backstage, Brittani gets a badly needed trim. She's determined not to let her illness overshadow her, even though it's now raining. Her narrative for the shot is that she's very powerful and saw her destination while she was on the camel. Now she's at said destination, with a belly full o' goat brains. Brittani poses to a door, and looks lovely. Jay says that she had the challenge of working in the rain, but with the way that she moved down the stairs and caressed the wooden door and bent her body, he believed that she reached her destination. Friedemann tells us that Brittani has a lot of natural elegance, and gave him a lot of inspiration. She triumphed over her own digestive system! Victory. And with that, it's a wrap.
Back at the house, there is Tyra Mail of Doom. Someone is getting the boot. Everyone is a little weirded out that they're going to be down to the final three. Molly is feeling pretty good about her chances of moving forward given her successful shoot, and adds that Alexandria didn't do fare well. Molly doesn't see Alexandria as a high-fashion model, and thinks that she'll be the one to go home. Alexandria is nervous, and says that she got positive feedback, but isn't really sure of the outcome. However, she says that she'll be happy whichever way it goes, because she did her best and made herself happy. Sometimes I think she is less evil than just plain dull. Brittani feels confident, but says that she's felt confident plenty and still not impressed the panel. Jay really liked Brittani's story, and so she met her goals. One of her goals was not to take a super-great photo? Drunken Hannah says that this is her last night, and tells the others how Mr. Jay said that she had a question mark on her face. Brittani doesn't think that a question mark face sounds all that bad. But Hannah tells us that it was a bad day. She wanted to show improvement and strength, but didn't model to her full potential or bring herself to the shoot. She cries and says that it's really scary. As everyone but Molly freaks out a little bit, we head to commercials.
When we return, we're backstage pre-panel! ALT has bought Tyra a dress, which she loves, even though she doesn't put it on just yet. There are prizes, there are judges. Designer Daniella Issa Helayel is the guest judge. Alexandria is up first. ALT compliments Daniella on the lovely clothes, then tells Alexandria that she looks like she's lost her mind... in an interesting way. He's trying to hook into the narrative, and asks Alexandria what she was thinking. She tells him about the whole princess in disguise in the marketplace thing. Nigel thinks that Alexandria looks beautiful, but wishes that she'd done more with her body. He also doesn't understand the story in the picture. Daniella thinks that Alexandria's eyes look mysterious, and overall thinks that the shot is beautiful. Tyra gets the comment of the day when she says that Alexandria looks less Vogue and more Conde Nast Traveler. At least that's one step up from Skymall Catalogue. Nigel tells Alexandria that if she'd wanted to be more editorial, she should have looked disheveled and collapsed to give the photo an air of mystery. Tyra notes that this approach would have bumped her up to Conde Nast Vogue.
Brittani is , and though she's trying to add some goatless local flavor with a new scarf, it cuts off her neck and makes her look older. Tyra demands that she take it off. Nigel loves Brittani's one-eye-covered-by-scarf photo, which is quite mysterious. He's less excited about the fact that she's lost her left arm. Entirely. He'd like to see a touch of arm, or at least not to have this be a story about a very beautiful amputee. ALT loves the photo, especially the way that Brittani's broken her body. Tyra doesn't see high fashion magazine quite yet, but says that Brittani is a little closer to it than Alexandria was.
Hannah is . Nigel says that her photo, in which she's getting out of a cab, is unusual and interesting. He thinks that the pose and the body is the most editorial of the bunch so far, but he wishes her quite whack face had a different expression and that she'd worked her angles more. It is true that her face looks like a slightly dented cream puff. Daniella disagrees and says that she loves it, and Tyra surmises that that's because the dress looks so good. Daniella tells Hannah that the clothes look great on her, and congratulates her for doing so well. ALT says that the dress and Hannah's protruding leg are wonderful, but he wonders where she's going. The panel still hasn't seen a wow moment yet tonight. Tyra tells Hannah that fashion likes extremes, and in her photo she's kind of here nor there. Her face is neither angular or round, and that makes it fall flat. She has to know her face, and learn how to make it look one way or the other.
Finally, there's Molly, who also has to get rid of her scarf extravagantly. Her best shot is totally fabulous. ALT says that at last they are seeing a Franca Sozzani page. He notes that it's high fashion, and gives an "oriental express" feeling. Daniella loves the body language and the way that Molly is posing. Nigel adds that it's real drama, and that Molly has committed the whole way. There's something there, and the viewer is taken somewhere. He says that it could be an advertising campaign. Tyra notes that Molly does a great job of showing the clothes, but not in a catalogue or posey way. Molly isn't cheesily asking you to look at her pants, she's aggressively demanding that you look at her pants. That's her forte, apparently.
The judges deliberate. Alexandria has a dramatic look, according to ALT, but he's not buying it. Nigel adds that there's not much going on. She looks dramatic, but her fez can mostly take credit for that. In her close-up, she looks like a flight attendant. And a flight attendant story is not what the judges were going for. Daniella chimes in to say that she doesn't think Alexandria looks as bad as the others are making it out, and that although she looks afraid or scared of something it works well enough. Molly is very high fashion, and ALT can see the clothes as well as the story. Nigel adds that Molly has a great capacity to do editorial photography and sell clothing. In person she doesn't have that same kind of drama, and he loves the fact that she's a chameleon. He notes that she's dramatic and tough in the eyes, and could use a little touch of romance. Tyra says that Molly's thing is being a tough-face girl, and she needs to mix it up a bit.
Nigel says that Hannah's picture is cool and has a bit of a Bond girl feel to it, but she could use more attitude. Daniella adds that she looks beautiful, but her facial expression doesn't go with the body language. Tyra just simply does not like the picture at all. ALT says that the face doesn't go with her body, but she invokes a charm that could be totally engaging. Brittani has broken her body in an interesting way, says ALT. Nigel agrees, but says that she hasn't pushed the envelope, which you have to do at this stage of the competition. This is the time when the girls get on the ground or get in the rain or roll around in a pile of brains or whatever. Daniella says that Brittani looks great, and in fact looks much better in the picture than in real life. I'd take that as a bit of an insult, but Tyra says that a model should always look better in pictures. She thinks that Brittani's photo is nice and sweet, but ALT says that they want drama. With that, the judges have reached a decision.
There are four girls, but Tyra only has three photos in her hands. Those photos represent the girls who are still in the running towards becoming America's Top Model. The first photo, which is the best, goes to Molly. That's an obvious one. Tyra tells her not to look so mean and intense all the time. Brittani is the runner-up. This leaves Hannah and Alexandria in the bottom two. Tyra tells them that blonde girls get a bad rap - people in fashion say that they're all the same. However, she disagrees, and says that Alexandria and Hannah both have interesting, unique looks and personalities. There are a few other things that make them distinct from each other as well. Alexandria is too controlling. In fact, she's holding on to the handlebars of control. This control bike has no training wheels, and maybe even has one of those little motors. Her photo this week didn't look high fashion, and in fact one of the judges thought she looked like a flight attendant. I am on a flight right now, and am even more certain than ever that Tyra did not mean this as a compliment. Hannah is the opposite -- she lacks control. Sometimes she gets in photos, and the judges don't know what she's doing. And then her face itself often seems to not know what it's doing. So who stays? It's Hannah! That's quite a surprise. Tyra tells her that she's had some of the strongest, most breathtaking pictures in the competition. But she can't be sometimey -- she has to bring it every single time. And with this, I think that Brittani and Molly are pretty much a lock for the final two.
Tyra gives Alexandria a hug, and tells her that she has to relax. She also has to stop doing that tense mouth thing that she loves so much and which appeared throughout all of her film. Alexandria has plenty of angles, and a big ole' flat head, and has to let it be. Alexandria says that she failed herself. She did her best, and this is what she loves to do, and maybe that's why she was so extra controlling. She notes that she's had a lot of ups and downs in this competition, but that overall this is one of the best lessons she's ever had. She's coming out of it with much more knowledge and experience, and can't wait to go and use it. Let's hope that on the stop in her journey people actually like her more.
week: The final three! Brittani cries like a thousand times and Nigel doesn't care for it.
Potes somehow got pretzel crumbs all over her laptop. Better than goat brains! You can tweet her @traciepotes or email at potesypotes@gmail.com.
