Los Angeles
Original Airdate: 29 May 2007
The three remaining girls are finally told they were heading off to Los Angeles, and there will be no lessons, only challenges. They had three main challenges. Once they were off the plane, they were sent to LA's Napoleon Perdis store to act as live mannequins. They are dressed by stylist Mandi Line.
At first the girls disappoint Napoleon and Mandi, however after being criticized halfway through, they pick up their game, attracting crowds of passersby, even stopping traffic. In the end both Napoleon and Mandi were impressed with all the girls and found it hard to choose a favourite.
The next day, Jodhi came to tell the girls that they had go-sees with LA's 2 top model agencies, Nous Models and LA Models. First they met Kenya Knight from Nous Models, who Jordan thought was "nice". Next they went to LA Models' Crista Klayman, who seemed to take account of their presence and walk. Alice seemed to the agents as too high fashion and tall for L.A., and stated she could only work in cities such as Paris or Milan. Steph H. was criticized for her hip measurements by Kenya, but made it up with her portfolio. Jordan got a good response because she was described by Kenya and Krista as perfect for the L.A. market. Later that day, they had a series of three go-sees to some LA designers. Ashley Paige booked Jordan for a show and Dom Deluca stated that the America's Next Top Model girls were "Mall Rats" compared to the Australian girls.
The following day, they were off to their first international photo shoot where Napoleon Perdis greeted and showed them around his beautiful Hollywood hills house. Napoleon introduced them to Darren Tieste, their photographer, and Charlie Altuna, their stylist. Charlie briefed them on the theme of the day's photo shoot, which was Modern Hollywood glamour, with clothes straight off the catwalk of international labels with the likes of Gucci and Chanel.
During their hair and makeup session, Napoleon asked Jordan about who she thinks should go home. Alice, being nearby, gradually builds up anger from the remarks. Steph H. also adds her opinion about Alice and who should go home, and it escalates into a verbal fight for the final Top Model position as Alice retaliates and defends herself stating that Jordan wasn't competition and Steph H. was dumb because she says stupid things and she didn't know if Chile was a country or not. During the photo shoot, Jordan was reminded to be careful in some of her poses, Steph H being told she looked like a "sex kitten" and relied on established looks while Alice excelled. Charlie strongly favored Alice so did Darren, except commenting she would be more suitable in Paris or New York markets.
The next day, the three models were flown back to Australia for their judging panel. All the judges were impressed by the photos, especially Alice's and Jordan's. Charlotte Dawson give Alice emourmous praise for her photograph would give the world's most famous supermodels a run for their money and Alex Perry especially liked the way the pose elongates Jordan's body length. Their judging challenge was the question "Why should you be Australia's Next Top Model?"
During deliberation, the judges felt torn between the unique contrasting styles of the three models in front of them. They felt that Alice excelled in the photo and the collected, calm, thoughtful speech she gave won her impression points. The judges agreed that Jordan's photo is her strongest in the competition, but judges felt that the hair and outfit didn't do justice to Steph H. Alice was chosen first for the final two. After a hard deliberation the judges finally decided to keep Steph H., and Jordan was eliminated. For one more final twist, it is revealed that viewer votes will be combined with the judges scores to decide Australia's Next Top Model.
