Beverly Johnson - Behind the Judges' Table

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 shoot 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.

To sum up the women in Season 2 of She's Got The Look: STUNNING.

From L.A. to Dallas, the turnout in each city was great, and the women that auditioned this past fall were nothing short of spectacular. We had the quirky Ernestine. The unique Vicky, a petite, plus-size Asian woman, who certainly did create her own category. And there was, of course, the drop-dead gorgeous Angela, who sped through auditions but fell seriously short during the first challenge.

There is one thing to understand about women over 35: Life's experiences have made them less concerned about their flaws, more secure about their assets, and that's really captivating. Of course, Shelly is the exception to this as she wears her insecurities on her sleeve -- but this spectacular beauty does change her stripes over the season. And Dolores is case in point -- the 72-year-old grandmother was an instant success. The judges were all in love with her, especially me.

We were introduced to some unbelievable women, and it was certainly hard for Robert, Sean and me to eliminate several -- but what viewers saw in the beginning is that any one tiny thing can get a contestant instantly eliminated, no matter how much we loved them during castings. That's why it's so important to do what the judges ask and really meet any challenge head on.

What we saw in the first "Leg-Up Challenge" quickly pointed to those that would stay the course throughout this competition. Their task - to be sexy with just the addition of a few choice accessories - was a lot harder than the ladies initially thought.

A lack of experience with modeling, of being in front of the camera, does make it hard to be sexy. We clearly saw some frontrunners... hello, Rachel! Cutting that shirt was the right thing to do; if only she rocked it like the superstar that she is. Then there were the low points. Goodbye, Angela. A scarf and coat are not the accessories that sell sex appeal.

What we also saw in the first challenge was fledgling modeling versatility. Who could reinvent themselves? Who could redefine beauty? Who had the style to make heads turn?

While the other judges might have disagreed, I loved, loved, loved Raquel's style - hot jeans, great big hat - all the makings of a future J-Lo. The fact that she's in the military and a mom made her even hotter.

Jamie had the right idea, too. She understood that style and presentation had a lot to do with one's air of sexuality. And Sandy has brought a whole new personality to this season: The Cool Chick. I instantly loved her.

Can't wait for more? This season has some frights, fights and falls, but all in good fun. This is a journey of self-discovery that can't be missed.
