The wicked witch is dead! That is to say...Alexandria has gone home. Her absence releases a lot of tension in the Top Model house. But now that it’s down to the final three, it’s a race to the finish line.

Interviewing the Locals

This week, the girls began by shooting ninety second commercials with the locals in Morocco, each interviewing the someone about a different product. Even though this challenge was totally Hannah’s cup of tea, Molly walked away with the win.

Chatting With Tyra

Tyra stopped by for a visit with the girls. She talked to them about their hardships—Molly, with her abandonment issues from being adopted; Brittani, with her mom’s fear of leaving their trailer; and Hannah, who’s struggle is an internal battle. Afterwards, Tyra did a quick photo shoot with the girls (more to practice her own photography skills than to help the girls, because they don’t even get to see their pictures).

Posing With A Male Model

Next, the girls did a photo shoot on the beach with a male model. Molly struggled with finding chemistry with the male model, and Brittani teared up after receiving critical feedback from Jay. But all the girls produced good pictures. So good, in fact, that Tyra chose two best photos for each of them.

Elimination

Molly received best photo over all, despite her struggles on set. But deciding between Hannah and Brittani posed a bit of a challenge for the judges. Both are talented, and both take great photos. The struggles they face, however, are the same—their strength. Can they handle the cruelty of the modeling world? In the end, the judges kept Brittani around and sent Hannah home.
