When we return, Celia, Allison and Natalie look out their giant wall of windows which, contrary to Natalie's popular belief, appear to provide an excellent view of Sao Paulo. Celia exclaims that the buildings in the city are so bright and clear and Natalie snits, "Where's the ocean, though, you know?" Celia interviews that Natalie is always complaining and adds a well-deserved, "Girl, you're in Brazil." She thinks Natalie doesn't have the right attitude. Her ass looks great in a bikini, though. It's a toss-up. Natalie snots, "I wanted a pool!" Okay, it's not a toss up.
There is Tyra Mail, known in Brazil as Correio da Tyra! It says, "Fight or flight? You better give me both! Love, Tyra." Aminat interviews that she wants this more than a fat kid -- or London -- wants cake. Thus, she needs to make sure that her face and body communicate. We flash back to Nigel telling Aminat that she looks bewildered. She stands there and looks bewildered. Tyra tells her she looks lost and awkward. Aminat stands there looking awkward and lost. She's got to get it together and give more face. As the girls get ready, Fo says that they're going to a "Fo-to" shoot. Teyona replies that she WISHES it was a "Fo-to" shoot. Ooh, this is a rivalry not seen since the Sharks and the Jets! Feel the crackling tension!
Oh, and yay! The girls arrive at a city square where they see a group of men and women dance-fighting. Aminat tells us that they're amazing, doing flips and cartwheels and standing or spinning on their heads. She says it kind of reminds her of break dancing with a martial arts feel to it. Indeed, there's some electric boogaloo to be had. One of the dancers, whose name is Maestre Eddy Murphy, says that he and the folks with him are doing capoiera, a martial art. Luckily for the models, anyone can learn it. Frankly, I'm not so sure about that. Capoiera looks like it takes a lot of flexibility and coordination. I for sure would wind up with a foot in my larynx. But Maestre Eddy says that all it takes is confidence and the ability to create drama. I would like to see Benny Ninja and his gaggle of queens take on this challenge, but alas we are not currently watching RuPaul's Drag Race. Teyona reiterates that they were told that capoiera will help them to move and create strong shapes in their modeling, so she's willing to give it a try.
