Alexandria and Monique pose together, and as Alexandria acts completely put out by her zit, Monique asks to see it, I think in an attempt to be helpful. Alexandria shuts her right down in a very nasty way. Monique thinks that Alexandria is such a bitch, and that her rudeness right before the shoot is only going to kill their chemistry. Lori notices the goings-on, and says that Alexandria got a little cranky and fidgety. Sitting around in expensive clothes is very hard work, Lori says, and so Alexandria has to learn to relax. The shoot doesn't start off so well, and Jay tells Monique that he can see from her face that she's feeling awkward. Alexandria of course takes charge and tells Monique to think doe-eyed, and then proceeds to give an example of it that looks insane. Jay tells us that when Monique doesn't like something she pouts. If both Monique and Alexandria were scheduled to go before a firing squad and you had the option to save one, you might not even use it. Jay tells Monique that this should be a fantasy, and Lori adds that it should be playful. Monique is frustrated both by Alexandria's bitchiness and Jay's criticism. She snits, "I know what I'm doing." Jurors, I direct you to exhibit A: this show. Alexandria thinks that she was outshining Monique. Of course. Eventually, Pamela just gets tired of shooting them and says that she's got the photo.
And then there's Sara. As she's getting outfitted in a fab metallic dress, Pamela says, "She's the one that's going to be a challenge." Poor Sara! Pamela instructs the crew to make her hair even spikier. Sara's reaction is, "Really? I can't get a wig or something? Like...?" She's posing with Mikaela, who is in a very shiny green dress. Lori tells Mikaela to always remember the camera, because her eyes are off and closed in a lot of pictures. Finally, somebody speaks the truth! I guess Mikaela and Sara are friends, because they're happy to be posing with each other. Sadly for them, they look really awkward. Pamela says they look like robots, and is even inspired to make a robot noise. Or maybe she's speaking French. Jay tells Lori that they don't know what to do with one another. Lori tells us that they just weren't getting what they were supposed to do, and it was like the blind leading the blind. I don't think she's specifically referring to Mikaela's eye situation here. Sara tries to do a cute leap, and then twists her ankle and almost face-plants. Pamela and Lori's final assessment? "It was hard." Mikaela tells us that she doesn't know what's going on with Sara. She has potential and her look is really different, but she doesn't believe in herself enough to do it. Eventually this dynamic duo gets some usable shots, and Pamela happily gets to stop photographing them.
