When we return, we're at The Century Plaza, which is maybe where people on The Phil Donahue Show get to stay. Farrah, eighteen, says that she's so glad to be out of boot camp. You were only in boot camp for, like, an hour, and you didn't even have to do anything. God.
The auditions start with giant 'fro-headed Kathleen, who comes in and just starts screaming. Tyra asks why she's screaming, and Kathleen says, "'Cause you're so PRETTY!" I personally would have gone with "The photos didn't lie! Your arms ARE that big in person!" Tyra notes that Kathleen has a lot of hair, and asks if it's all hers. Kathleen says that no, it's a piece, and that she does hair. She then continues with the "You're so pretty." And seriously, it's like walking into a special ed classroom but without the "Aw, aren't they cute?" factor. Tyra and Jay try to ask Kathleen some questions. She starts to answer them, but then sees something shiny and gets distracted and tells Tyra once again that she's pretty. Kathleen tells us that her only modeling experience is strutting the streets of Brooklyn. I guess riding the bus with her sister doesn't count. She comes out in her bikini and is kind of thick. She says that modeling is what she really wants to do. I wonder if they have an organization like MENSA, but for the opposite end of the spectrum. Kathleen could at least be treasurer.
Next is Sarah, twenty, from Lake Zurich, Illinois. Jay tells Tyra that Sarah won the boot camp posing competition. Sarah tells us that she's twenty going on twenty-six. HA! How mature she is. I feel like that too, sometimes. Like an old soul. I'm thirty-one going on thirty-three, you know? Wise for my years. Sarah tells Tyra and the Jays that she loves the fashion industry and is, in fact, a fashion photographer. She says that she's fierce, and that when she wants something, she goes and gets it. Including a Whopper. Her size is perfectly fine, but I feel like I have to be the new Janice and call everyone too fat. Miss J. thinks she's extremely cute, and sees a model in her.
