Hair and makeup happens, and Jessica coaches the girls on how to make the most of being on camera. The Brits are the first to shoot the video for their single, "We'll Mash You Up." Can we all agree that there should be some reference to bangers in this song? Sophie is first to shoot her little rap about being Sophie, whilst applying Cover Girl lipstick. Sophie assures us that she's not a music video star, but she had a ton of fun. Then there's Annaliese, who is vintage Sporty Spice in her bit. Nadine Coyle is very impressed by Annaliese, and speaks in an accent that sounds like she's from the deep south all of a sudden. I should add that the chorus for "We'll Mash You Up" has lyrics including, "We're smoking, we're vogueing, we'll mash you up yeah yeah". Like complex, mid-career Paul Simon. Catherine is next, and has a cool elegant look that befits her lyrics about being Queen Catherine and belies her extensive tooching knowledge. Then there's Alisha, who is the cutest per usual. I just love her. Under Nadine's incomprehensible tutelage, the girls then shoot some group choruses and are apparently quite impressive overall.
With that, it's time for The United Sirens of America to take the stage. The shoot their group numbers first, and appear to be having problems. Alisha attributes at least some of this to the fact that the Americans are not on the same page personally, and the hatred is shining through in their inability to tooch collaboratively. The US song is entitled, "Stop, Drop and Tooch," which really does have D'Amato's sticky fingerprints all over it. Jay encourages Kyle to try having an expression. The Brits then completely and accurately make fun of Kyle's attempt at an expression, which is basically vacant bug-eyes. Alisha puts it best when she says, "Why are you in shock? You're supposed to be happy. Calm the eyes down." Jay yet again tells Kyle that everyone else is fine, and she looks crazy. He says that Kyle struggled with the choreography and her sense of belonging in the group, and pulled down the performance for everyone. Kyle requests a break, and heads into the bathroom alone. Maybe she just had to take a shit? Commercials.
