We get a montage of the scene, which basically involves Sunny Rose the Cockney flower seller being blissfully cheery and idiotic around serious American Boris Kodjoe. "Oy'm Sunny Rose oy am oy am!" says Sunny Rose. The girls soon start to lose track of the script, which is pretty funny. Kahlen curses. Boris tells Sunny that she is a born performer, and Sunny asks if he is "telling porky pies" to take advantage of some consuspecting young lass. Naima comes up and of course nails the performance. She interviews that she's always working hard and putting forth her best effort. Naima notes that Michelle, with her "theater background," will probably be her toughest competition. And honestly, I think that Naima is telling porky pies, right there. Michelle's performance is terrifying. She interviews that the other girls have been winning challenges, and she's excited to finally have one that she could possibly win. She then says of her performance, "I rocked it. Ahhh. I just felt amazing." And heh. Then Tiffany, who is wearing an enormous hat, starts to suck things up. Boris laughs that Tiffany sounded like a southern girl from a plantation in Alabama, and that she was in her own movie. It's totally true. Tiffany forgets a line and can't recover. She interviews that she was looking at Boris and trying to get him to say the next line, but that he just looked back at her and did nothing. She says that she was embarrassed, but she didn't care about this test so she laughed it off. Oh, Tiffany. If you had just cared a little you could have avoided yourself an ass-whupping. We see her collapse backstage.
The girls go in front of Larry and Boris for their evaluations. Brittany's accent was good. Tatiana got thrown by her flubbed lines. Kahlen swore and cursed her way through the scene. Christina skipped a few pages. Michelle didn't have any eye contact. Rebecca needed more passion and commitment. Naima was flirtatious with a convincing accent and was good overall. Keenyah was also good. And then Boris says to Tiffany, "Um love the hat." Heh. Boris says that the winner gets $10,000 worth of diamonds to share with two friends. And that is a pretty good prize. The girls are impressed, particularly Tiffany, who must first ask what all those zeroes mean. "Back in the ghetto we ain't never seen nothing with four zeroes. Four zeroes what, exactly?" And, of course, Naima is the winner. She gets a hug from Boris, and chooses Michelle and Tatiana as her two friends. Michelle interviews that though she was second best she still gets diamonds, so it's all good. And I think she's stretching things with that "second best" bit. When Naima picks Tatiana, Tiffany lets out a big "WHAT?" and throws her giant hat down, saying some otherwise undecipherable line that clearly ends with "bitch." I guess they've heard of diamonds in the ghetto, at least. She says that Tatiana has nerve to get the diamonds, and that she's upset. And I say kudos to Naima for not just picking Tiffany because she's always going on and on about how poor she is.
