In Italy they call them “go AND see”
The models head to IMG Italian headquarters in Milan where Tyra meets them and gives them a lesson in how the folio structure works. The directors of IMG, Giovanni Di Corrinto and Andrea Cairo, tell the girls that they are to visit four of IMG’s most important customers including a very special fashion house—Versace! They have four hours to get the job done and are told to take public transportation or walk and…hopefully they won’t get lost!

Most importantly, be back to the agency by 6:30. If they don’t make it they’re disqualified. Luckily for Chelsey, she’s done all this before. In fact, her “I’ve been on go-sees before” mention count was over five…okay girl, we got it. But even with all of her go-see experience, she couldn’t manage to get around.

Chris and Jane stumble across Versace right away and meet with Angelo Azzena. Chris asks him what he looks for in a model and the first thing he says is “attitude.” Poor Ann—she’s truly doomed! Angelo likes Jane but thinks that she needs to work on her walk. He thought that Chris looked like a model from the ‘80s. Chelsey’s look was “two seasons ago.” He would book Ann for print and shows. Just don’t book her for children’s parties -- she’s really dull.

Everyone gets lost in the crazy Italian streets. With a full 90 minutes to go, Jane and Chris head back to IMG—cowards! We always thought that the rules of this game were a little lax in terms of getting to the actual go-sees and put too much emphasis on being on time. Chelsey makes it to meet the casting director at Global Video and he likes her. Chelsey, Jane and Chris are the only ones to get back in time and Chelsey is the only one to get to more than ONE go-see. So Chelsey wins! She gets a prize from Versace—an awesome jacket. Too bad it’s hot as Hades. She’ll have to wait to wear that another time.

The go-see scorecard was pathetic. Kayla, Chris and Jane didn’t book the one go-see they managed to make. Ann would have booked at Versace if she wasn’t disqualified. Apparently, personality isn’t an issue there, after all. And Chelsey booked one of the two go-sees she made.

The not exactly statuesque award goes to…
The models arrive at a statue-laden villa where Mr. Jay and Nigel greet them. It’s photo shoot time and the girls are transformed into statues. The very handsome male model, Simone, arrives on set to play their “sculptor” and we get the usual bitch session from Kayla. We’d just love it if they’d bring in some female models next week for some touchy-feely on set so we can finally shut her up.

As usual, Jane thinks too much. The guys can’t feel the passion, and they want to see her personality. They give her some feedback about how to get one and she breaks down. People, if you are going to have a breakdown on set don’t do it when Nigel is the photographer! Chelsey started off very strong and got into character right away. Ann did really well and her passion for art came out in the shoot. Kayla got over her man issues and took control. Dare we say, she modeled H to T. And Chris injured her foot somehow and as her shoot progressed the pain began to show. Chris continually says that she can’t wait to get the whole process over so that she can win. Hey, if you don’t enjoy the work, you ain’t gonna enjoy the ultimate job!

The Orville Redenbacher doppelganger prize goes to…
Kyle Hagler is the manager for IMG and the guest judge for the week, but to us he looks more like a cross between an ‘80s wrapper and Orville Redenbacher. And was that a Member’s Only jacket he was sporting?

Kayla and Chelsey did really well but it was abundantly clear that Chris was “over it.” As usual, Ann looks beautiful but there’s no emotion and personality and Jane didn’t show emotion until they told her that she didn’t have her personality. We’re not at all surprised when they announce that Kayla gets best photo of the week. Chelsey gets runner up. Ann is third and Tyra tells her to try to be more memorable. Who was that she was talking to? We already forgot.

Chris and Jane end up at the bottom two. Lucky for Jane, the judges saw a little bit of her personality at panel (hey—crying worked out for someone for once!) but in the end Chris is just too commercial and not high fashion enough, so she’s gone.

With all the talk about personality, why did they eliminate the model with the best one tonight? Tell us here in the comments!
