America’s Next Top Model 4, Episode 6: Brittany Gets Blotto

Previously, Michelle was unlucky enough to get impetigo, freaking out most of the other girls. Lluvy continued to struggle in her photo shoots, but in person, it was Noelle who failed to look the part of a model, and she was sent home. Ten girls are left – who is going home tonight?

It’s morning. Michelle says that her impetigo will clear up in a few days, but it’s still a little contagious. However, now that it’s going away, her spirits are lifting. Lluvy says that if she is one of the last two girls standing in front of the judges again, she doesn’t even want to think about it. She knows that she has to step it up 110%. You know what? I’ve really gained an appreciation for Lluvy and think she really does have some potential.

Tyra Mail arrives, telling the girls they need to have good figures. It asks how bankable they are. Next, we see the girls go into a room, where they are told by a strange man to sign a confidentiality agreement. The girls feel rushed to sign, and although Tatiana is worried about signing, she does it anyway.

They are then escorted into a room where Tyra is sitting. She welcomes them to Bankable Productions, which she owns. It’s time to teach the girls about business. In comes Carolyn London, Tyra’s mom, who managed the first seven years of her career. Tatiana tells the camera she needs to learn about business since she has no idea what she is doing. Don Banks comes in; he’s Tyra’s dad and also the guy who rushed them to sign that paper. Joe the lawyer also enters and tells the girls that they basically just signed their lives away. Essentially, Tyra’s dad now owns them forever, and when they hear the word “model” they have to jump five times. Cute. However, the contract is null and void, which pleases the girls.

Next, Tatiana tells the story of how she was scammed by a fake model studio, and the same thing has happened to Rebecca. Tyra says that if any agency wants money up front, it’s a scam. Mom adds that the idea is to surround yourself with experts. Lluvy, out of nowhere, adds that she is always criticizing herself and needs to relax. Tyra heads out and Rebecca feels that you have to be smart and savvy in this business – you can’t just have a pretty face. Hmm, I guess that’s true, but the pretty face gets you in the door.

As we see the girls getting ready, Christina says that since the competition is stressful, the girls are going to have fun that night. Brittany adds that they are going to dinner and hopefully do some dancing. In the car, she also says that she can go out and not even drink yet still have a great time.

At dinner, all the girls are enjoying themselves, and several of them start drinking. Brittany has a few too many and harps on Rebecca for not drinking; she then reminds Lluvy that she has only had one good photo so far! Kahlen isn’t happy with the way Brittany is being disrespectful, and this is when Brittany gets on the table and starts dancing. You read correctly. At this point, Kahlen is upset, since not only does Brittany make herself look bad, but the rest of them as well. I have to agree. Kahlen doesn’t want to be seen that way. Once Brittany is done dancing, the girls head home.

The madness hasn’t ended, though. Everyone in the one van is talking about how uptight Rebecca and Kahlen were at dinner. Brittany is leading the chat, and Keenyah says that Brittany gets really loose when she drinks. Keenyah hopes that it doesn’t get her eliminated. I’ll tell you what it IS getting her – a spread in Playboy when this is all over. Did I forget to mention that Brittany is now mooning people in other cars?

Morning arrives, and Brittany looks a bit hungover. Rebecca says she was bothered when some girls, led by Brittany, cleared dishes off the table then danced on it. It’s just not a cool thing to do, and although she loves Brittany, she would never want her to do that. Tyra Mail arrives and says that the girls work hard every day, so it’s time to party! Brittany feels that’s a little ironic since they are already having so much fun. All the girls get dressed and ready to go, as their transport arrives and takes them up to the “swanky part of town.”

Jay Manuel is there to greet the girls. He tells them that Cover Girl is going with a new look, and the girls will be at the party today to try and impress people. Each girl walks into the room, and they are greeted by Kiara, a Cover Girl. Jay tells the camera that there are secret judges at the party who will be judging the girls on their confidence and poise, how well they work the room and interact, and finally, how well they transcend their beauty inside and out. Keenyah says that she was working on just leaving a lasting impression, while Naima says that being the center of attention humbles her. Brittany is already into the booze, which can’t be good. Lluvy even adds that Brittany is beautiful, but can be a bit loud at times, and this isn’t about being the loudest.
