Last week on Top Model: We had the final six, which meant it was time to go abroad! And the girls went from Venice Beach, CA to Venice, Italy! After some food and getting pooped on, the girls had a photoshoot with a sexy guy. After, the girls continued on to Milan and met with the powers that be at Missoni. At panel, Kayla rose to the top while Chris and Liz fell to the bottom two. In the end, Liz and her complaints were sent packing. Five girls remain, who will be sent back Stateside this week? Find out!
Wanna be on top?
MILAN! Kayla goes home to see her picture. Chris remembers being in the bottom two. She says she doesn’t want to go home, but she’s preparing herself for that possibility. Chris worries that they may get rid of two. If they hold true to the past seasons, that’ll be next week, Chris. Kayla thinks Chris is just doing this to get her face out there, not to be a real model. Jane calls home and her mother plays “Guess where my baby is.” She thinks she made a good decision in quitting Princeton.
TYRA MAIL! “Prepare to fare una buona impressione.” For those who can’t figure that out—it’s make a good impression. GO-SEES! Chelsey is excited because she knows how to do that. But she still wants best photo. The girls make up their portfolios as Ann worries about her shyness.
MILAN! The girls get off the Milan Model Mobile to meet…Tyra. She’s at the IMG offices and mentors the girls as if she were their agent. Tyra tells them to not think they know what is best, but to listen to those who know the business. Tyra tells the girls this is what they do at panel. Chelsey plays Andre and Chris plays Tyra. And they nail the judges. She tells the girls to smile and introduces them to Giovanni and Andrea. The girls are going to Versace. THEY GOT VERSACE? Wait, why am I surprised? They got Versace last time they were in Italy. And the girls will not be taking the Milan Model Mobile, but Milan Public Transportation. And they have to be back by 6:30 PM.
Chris and Jane pair up and head to Versace. Kayla and Chelsey team up and Ann tags along. Chris and Jane happen to be across the street from Versace. They go in and Chris asks Versace what he looks for—he says attitude and a good walk. Jane then comes in. Meanwhile, the other three are still trying to find Versace. Here’s a hint girls—the street names are on the buildings in Europe.
Commercials!
MILAN! The trio is still trying to get around Milan. They finally find Versace. Meanwhile, Chris and Jane are now walking. Jane needs to work on the walk, but he thinks she is fresh. I like the outfits the girls are wearing. Chris is called “80’s.” Chelsey walks next. She said she didn’t think the guy thought she was super-special. He really thought she was two seasons ago. Kayla follows. He likes her for editorial, not show. Chelsey goes off on her own after. Oh, hey, she figured out where the signs are as Jane and Chris finds a map. We go back to Versace where Ann walks. Versace loves Ann. Ann and Kayla split up as Chelsey tries to find someone to help her. Someone takes pity on her and guides her to the right train.
Kayla goes in circles while Jane and Chris are confused by the metro. Ann kept trying to get directions as Chelsey arrives at Global Casting. The casting director likes her. Jane and Chris limp back to IMG as Chris got injured. Ann gets frustrated because she got lost in her own hometown. Chelsey gets back to IMG. But Kayla and Ann are disqualified. Ann gets back at ten to seven. Kayla bursts in at a quarter after. Ann is told to work on her body, Chelsey has a nice body, Chris was the only one to ask a question, etc. Chelsey wins and gets prizes from Versace. Nice.
TYRA MAIL! “Soon I’m going to make you look marbleous.” Oh, Tyra.
The Milan Model Mobile takes the girls to a beautiful house where they meet Mr. Jay and Nigel. Mr. Jay asks about Chris’ foot, she says she’s a bit sore but she’ll be fine. She knows Top Model is all about being a trooper. The girls will be turned into statues and posing with their sculptor. Sorry, Kayla, it’s another male model. His love brings the sculpture to life. And their sculptor? Simone. Ann thinks she’ll do well because she likes art.
Jane is up first. Jane thinks that being called “stiff” might work now she’s a statue. Mr. Jay calls her pose-y and tries to get her to bring out her passion. Nigel tells her to be a model. Mr. Jay tells her to stop thinking and Jane starts to cry. She says she thinks she blew it and Mr. Jay tells her to not try to be perfect, to be herself. She says she’s still trying to figure that out. She promises to do better.
Commercials.
Chelsey is up next. Nigel greets her and walks away. Chelsey remains standing and Nigel yells “Follow me.” She asks if she can touch the model. Nigel’s like, “Duh.” But she nails it. Not much else to say. Meanwhile, Kayla feeds Chris some grapes as she’s being painted. Ann is third up. And she really connects with the theme and the model. Mr. Jay says he could see her passion for art. Kayla shakes hands with Simone and jumps into the shoot. She’s come a long way from the woman who had a near nervous breakdown at the thought of kissing the male model. Mr. Jay says he wants to give her a hug but he doesn’t want to get dirty. Chris finishes the day and promises to not let her foot get in the way of her modeling. And she doesn’t at first, but the pain gets worse and it starts to affect her. Nigel tells her to embrace the pain.
That’s a wrap! And someone’s going home. Ann calls it “make it or break it” time. Chris and Jane are worried.
Commercials.
MILAN! The panel goofs off. Bring in the girls! There are judges—Andre and Nigel. And the guest judge is IMG manager Kyle Hagler. There are prizes. Tyra takes her seat and calls Kayla forward. She didn’t book Versace. Nigel loved her pose. Kyle liked the connection between her and the other model. Tyra calls her stunning. Chelsey is next and gets applauded for winning the challenge. She booked the casting agent. Nigel said she was a surprise and he loved her. Andre says she lost her neck and Tyra doesn’t think it reads “MODEL!” Chris is third and didn’t book anything either. She didn’t really impress. Ann booked Versace but was late. The panel loves Ann but tells her to work on the personality. Jane was last and didn’t book anything. Andre liked the bottom half of Jane, but not the top half. Nigel liked when she broke down and Tyra asks why. She says it is tough being told she has no personality. Kyle tells her it’s not about “no personality,” she just has to show it.
Before Tyra sends them off, she tells the girls that they need to make their go-sees. Kyle likens it to not going to work.
Commercials.
The judges deliberate. Nigel liked Kayla. Kyle thinks Kayla is international. They worry about Ann personality. Kyle sees Ann in high-fashion. Chelsey could be anything, according to Kyle. Chris would be commercial while Andre calls her the next Wanda Sykes. Nigel isn’t too thrilled with Jane. Kyle thinks she needs to come out of the shell but will need more time.
ELIMINATION! The first name is Kayla. She celebrates. She is joined by Chelsey and Ann. Chelsey gets commended for being knowledgeable and passionate while Ann is told to be memorable. That leaves Chris and Jane in the bottom two. This is a bit difficult. Chris: “Effervescent personality” and took good picture. But the judges don’t feel she is as invested. Jane: Takes good pictures but has a personality issue. Who stays? Jane. Girl, find your personality! She’s staying because she cried. That’s pretty much what Tyra’s saying. Chris gets her hug and Tyra tells her to focus on acting classes. She has a gift there.
Chris hugs the girls and says she’ll do it all—model, act, and sing. She wants to keep going. Go, Chris! I’ll watch you on a show!

Competition is getting tougher, though girls getting lost while going on go-sees is nothing new to this competition. Hey, it’s why we love watching the go-see episodes—to see how totally lost they get and how unhelpful the locals can be. As we head closer to the finale, I know I’ve been saying I can see an Ann-Kayla walk off. But now, I’m predicting a Chelsey-Kayla walk off. And in that, I can see both taking the crown. What about you?
Next week: The girls meet the editor-in-chief of Italian Vogue while Tyra directs them in a commercial. We’re almost done!
Quote of the Episode:
“I need a model!” Nigel at the photoshoot.
