Up in the presidential suite, it's the whole pretty room thing. An enormous room with a huge bed and rose petals and champagne and so on. Champagne is poured and Robin and Shannon abstain, Monsieur Hairline sending the four women out of the room so that he, Gaydrian, and the two other gentlemen who never spoke make a decision on who is the most ladylike. Gaydrian says that Robin did not live up to social standards and food standards, Adrianne is seen is "brilliant" (which...come on ["he probably meant 'bright' in the sense of 'lively,' but didn't have the English vocabulary -- or so I choose to fanwank it, because there's no way anyone thinks Adrianne is 'brilliant' in the sense of 'smart'" -- Wing Chun]) but less "witty" than Elyse, and Shannon wears her dress well but comes across as "cold." Back in the room, the weirdest challenge ever ends with Monsieur Hairline choosing Adrianne for her night in the Fantasy Suite. She chooses Elyse as her partner, and a quick cut later the man have gone and the girls are in white robes jumping on the bed for a good long time. They chug champagne from the bottle and eat chocolate cake, Adrianne flitting around and sing-songing, "I live in a mansion in Paris! I live in a mansion in Paris!" Adrianne notes to Elyse that she felt like this has been set up as a romantic night for the two of them, and we cut to a perfectly staged shot of Adrianne carrying Elyse across the threshold of their bedroom. They go to sleep in the same bed, Adrianne smoking and asking Elyse if she has her top on. She does. But not for long. They lie back in their enormous bed and Adrianne tells us in a confessional, "I guess I proved that I can be a broad." She wishes Elyse a "Goodnight, slut ho," and the only person who wouldn't have thoroughly enjoyed that sequence would have found a way to drown it out anyway, sitting in front of her television in Memphis, Tennessee thinking about all the clothes she gets to keep on all the time in her glamorous life as not a top model, drowning out the sound of the word combo "slut ho" with a repeatedly clucked chorus of, "Oh, ma word."
