Chelsey is next to walk on the balcony in full Chita Rivera glory. She does a fine job. Once she's finished, the girls get a tight shot with their face covered in netting. They have to whisper their names to the camera, because they've run out of other dumb things to do. Oh wait! No they haven't! The girls rush to some giant nearby bushes, and for a minute it kind of looks like the maze from The Shining. If only, man. Maybe next they'll have to pose with a furry in an assless bear costume. The models are instructed to ask the girl who will theoretically be watching this motion editorial, "What's your beauty?" And then make sweet rotating love to the hedges. Ann gets so into it that she flashes everyone. Kayla does a final spin, and it's a wrap! Tyra rolls around on the ground, because she's insane.
The girls take the bus back to their apartment and talk about how exhausted they are. Ann has no idea if she did well today. She thinks that she did, but others might still think that she's awkward. Chelsey, who has some ill-advised tats, says that she let her personality shine through today, and now is totally freaking out. However, she's feeling pretty confident that she's in the top two. Jane thinks that having some face time with Tyra probably helped her, while Kayla thinks she did a fine job but is freaked out that two girls are going home. Her nerves are wracked, and she doesn't want to go back to the tough neighborhood she comes from, where sleeping bags count as beds. Commercials.
When we return, we're backstage pre-panel. Tyra hates her red outfit, and so decides to change. She comes out in a rather slinky dress, and Franca gives her approval. As Tyra hoists up her bosom, we fade into the girls' entrance. There are prizes, there are judges. Franca Sozzani is the guest judge. Chelsey is first to have her motion editorial reviewed. She looks aged and cross-eyed, per usual. However, Nigel loves it. He says he hasn't seen this diversity in any of her pictures. Franca says that Chelsey's performance is surprising, in a good way. When she met Chelsey previously, she didn't realize that she could perform like that in front of the camera. Tyra was very impressed with Chelsey and loved the rock poses she was doing. What Chelsey has to be cognizant of is what to do with her arms and body, as evidenced by her awkwardness in the initial great room portion of the editorial. She needs to not freak out when she doesn't know what to do.
