It turns out that this swimwear line celebrates the legend of Bob Marley by putting his face on ladies' boobs. I mean, I guess that's not a bad tribute. Laura shares with us that one of her biggest insecurities in the competition is not being a size 00 like some of the other skinny stick figures such as Leila and Nastasia. She's representing girls who are healthy, strong, and overly tan. And, I mean, she's SO large. Practically a size 4! Embrace the curves! Johnny tells the girls that they'll do two shots -- one in the shallow water, where they'll really get to show off their suits, and one in the deep, where the dolphins will actually push them up by their feet. Those poor, enslaved dolphins. This is better than being caught in a tuna net, but only barely. Cedella wants the girls to show off the swimsuits, but also be engaged with the dolphins, who are doubtlessly crying for help in their squeaky sonar language.
Kiara is up first, and the dolphin handler tells her to be very gentle with no sudden movements, so she doesn't scare the dolphins. For some reason Kiara equates high fashion with Sports Illustrated, but at least knows enough about modeling to try to find her light. She then goes to the deeper part of the cove, where she treads water while waiting for the dolphins to push her up by her feet. The idea is to pose in the split second when you rise up out of the water, and though Kiara doesn't get up very high Johnny thinks she looked pretty. Cedella doesn't look so certain. Nastasia is next. She poses with the dolphin in the shallow end just fine, but as she bounds away one of the handlers asks the girls to, in the future, wait until she takes the dolphin away before they move. Everyone is VERY concerned about startling the dolphins, which we should take as meaningful foreshadowing. Nastasia gets good height from the dolphins, and freaks out for a second before remember that she's supposed to pose.
