Simone and her hip hop shot are next. ALT says that it's good, and that her patently gauche pigeon-toed legs work this time. Tyra doesn't love it, because it doesn't have the movement and aggression of hip hop and stayed in a safe place. Simone admits that she can't hip-hop dance, because she's secretly a white girl. Tyra's okay with that, but reminds her that she can spaz out and it's okay. Sean likes what's going on in the top half of Tatianna's tap photo, but notes that the bottom half is not so flattering. Nigel loves the close-up. Tyra says that Tatianna's film is really bad, but she manages to luck into a gorgeous photo or two. That is a bottom two eulogy in the making.
Next we have Brenda, who is dressed like your run of the mill administrative assistant. Not that there's anything wrong with that. If you are or work for an accountant. Tyra tells her that the look is not doing her already age-challenged self any favors. Anslee loves this exchange, as you might well imagine. Brenda's African photo says "Saturday Night Live skit" to Sean. ALT adds that there's no sense of dance in the photograph and she might as well have just stood tall like a statue of a giraffe in the Serengeti plains. Tyra wishes that Brenda had moved her arms a bit more.
Alasia steps up to be critiqued and ALT exclaims, "Alasia, what were you thinking today!" Alasia takes off her jacket, as instructed, and ALT further exclaims, "Girlfriend! Darling! It's a swimsuit?" Yes, Alasia is wearing a shiny silver one-piece cutout swimsuit under her jeans. Dreck. I. Tude. But her photo is gorgeous! Lovely! Je t'aime! Her photo is as good as her outfit is bad. Tyra wants her to do interpretive dance for the rest of her life. Alexandra's breakdancing shot also draws raves. It's athletic and shows that she can move, according to Nigel. The only thing it's missing is her neck. With an extended neck, she would have completely rocked it. Angelea's moshing shot is also a hit. ALT exclaims, "Love it! Fa-shon!" Angelea says that at first she was thinking anger, but towards the end she shifted to pain. Sean is blown away that Angelea tapped into an emotion, because even some of his experienced models are still learning how to do that.
