Fo's nerves got to her, but she stood out in the background. Tahlia knows her angles, but she has bad self-esteem issues. London has become pear shaped and Paulina finally gets her facial angles. Aminat looked angry and had bad pronunciation. Natalie surprised Paulina, but she still needs more emotion.

After Teyona and Allison switch clothes, they both look better. Tyra has screen grabs of the commercials. She tells the girls that they all had week commercials. The best commercial is from Celia. She then calls Natalie, Teyona, Fo, London, and Aminat. The bottom two are Allison and Tahlia. Allison is one of the best editorial girls, but she is a one-note. The commercial still had the same look. Tahlia's criticism is that she had the CoverGirl look, but she may not love the camera. The girl staying is Allison.
