Then, it's time for Caridee and Amanda. Caridee reiterates that the water was unbelievably cold, but that she had to do what she had to do. Tyra notes that both Caridee and Amanda are good floaters. She tries to direct Amanda on her stiff arms. As Amanda consults with Tyra, Caridee is mad chattering. Caridee interviews that, in terms of experience, Amanda is the weakest out of all of the remaining girls, and is still young and naïve. It's not about trying anymore; you simply have to have it, she says. Amanda loses her contact lens for a minute and has to take a break. Caridee goes to the edge of the pool and is wrapped up in a towel, looking ill. The photographer tells her that if she's feeling something strange, she has to say it. She blinks kind of catatonically. That's probably not a good sign. Tyra yells at Caridee that she's from Fargo: "Come on." She says that this is real modeling. That's why models so often look blue in photos. Caridee tells us that there's a point where her body takes over, and that she feels like her skin is pins and needles. But when the camera got on her, she tried to take those shivers away and not let it show in her face. Caridee then says that she has to take a minute. She is shaking like Janet Reno. It's not pretty. The EMTs come over and wrap Caridee up in towels. Jay tells us that, as a model, you need to tell people when you've reached your limit. ["Sometimes! Other times, you have to suck it up or they kick your ass out." -- Wing Chun] Jay says that Caridee wasn't just cold and chattering -- she had actually reached a moment of hypothermia. Well, Jesus. Caridee asks Jay how the pictures looked, and if she's doing okay again. Tyra tells her that she needs to listen to her body and tell them what's going on.
