This is one of my favorite episodes because the ladies got the full effect of modeling while braving the cold and rain for a photo Beverlyshoot in Central Park in their undies. Personalities got a little out of control with LeeAnne and Shelly's infighting - and the latter's inappropriate behavior with photographer Heidi Niemala. We also witnessed Dolores having doubts about her modeling potential, and Jamie stepping up to the plate and showing lots of heart to help out her fellow teammate in the "leg-up challenge" for 3 Musketeers chocolate.

 

We've heard it all before: Modeling is sooooo easy. Well, you stand out in the cold rain with your knickers on and come back and tell me how it good your day at work was. Seriously, one of the most difficult situations a model can find herself in is a photo shoot conducted under extreme conditions. The way models act in assignments like these is very important and determines their future work.

 

During this immunity challenge the ladies were troopers, particularly Theresa, who was also suffering from a migraine. Truthfully, her ailment actually helped her in this challenge, because she wasn't so focused on the elements, and it really came across in the photography. She was so focused, so in control of every move; every pose was perfection. I was really proud of Theresa; she had to force herself to stay with the task at hand and really proved what a professional she is.

Shelly, as much as I like her, demonstrated the way NOT to act with a photographer. The photographer controls the shoot, not the subject.

 

The challenge also gave us a chance to see the bodies of these beauties. What a proud moment! Who could tell Theresa had twins or that Jamie "hardly ever worked out"?

 

The challenge with the lovely Frederique proved to be much harder than the first. Coordinating bounces on a trampoline, while keeping a pose and showcasing a 3 Musketeers bar was harder than rubbing your tummy and patting your head at the same time. What the ladies failed to focus on was the task at hand and that was highlighting the candy bar.

 

As a team, Theresa, Sandy and LeeAnne found their rhythm. Theresa once again shined. Rachel's shyness was proving to be a problem in photo shoots, and Raquel needed to figure out how to turn athleticism into gracefulness. Dolores needed to take charge of her situation in order to make her photo work. Jamie was brilliant to come over and help - a phenomenal display of teamwork, but it was really up to Dolores to lead and make this photo happen.

Ultimately, it was too late for Raquel and we bid her farewell, but it must be said that this woman is a terrific role model and will surely be missed.
