Next, Ann meets with Ivan. She towers over him as they shake hands, and tells us that she's nervous about Chelsey likely having more energy in this meet and greet. Ivan asks Ann how it's been going through the competition, and she flatly says that it's been a lot of fun and her confidence has been boosted a lot. She goes on to explain that back home, everyone scrutinized her because she was so tall, but in this competition it's an asset. They look through her book, and Ivan says that her pictures show how her height is an advantage. He tells us that Ann made the clothes look really good, but he'd like to work with her personality a bit. Ivan's mind isn't made up at all, and he tells us that he's going to be scrutinizing both ladies quite closely on the runway. And then after they're both horrible he'll flip a coin.
In the bus on the way home, Ann and Chelsey talk about their meet and greets. Ann says that she was pretty relaxed, even though she probably looked frightened per usual. That's just how her face is! Chelsey confessionalizes that she feels like she has more of the whole package that Top Model is looking for. She points out that Ann has been in the bottom two, and never won a challenge. Meanwhile, Chelsey has won three challenges and never has been in the bottom two. Notice she does not bring up the fact that Ann has had top photo or video six times, while she has had none. That type of selective data makes me suspect that she's a Republican. Chelsey thinks that she IS America's Next Top Model. In reality, she IS delusional. Commercials.
When we return, the girls arrive at a location right in the heart of Milan. It is, of course, the setting for the Just Cavalli fashion show. Chelsey tells us that Roberto Cavalli is one of the world's premiere fashion designers, so walking for him in general is a really big deal, even when you're not trying to win a busted reality show in its 15th season. Jay tells the girls that they're not going to be the only Americans in the fashion show -- they've "flown back" Liz, Chris, Jane, and Kayla. And of course, they couldn't start the show without Cycle 14 winner Krista. Krista comes out looking pretty fly and super-skinny. She tells the girls that when she was in their place, she was nervous. They seem to appreciate the kind words.
