The girls go back to the apartment and Teyona is totally psyched to see her winning photo on the wall. Especially seeing her abs. Please to note that no one else is sharing in her triumph. She's all alone in the room. But later, Allison tells Celia she liked Celia's photo, and Celia admits she kind of liked her pose, too. Then they critique Teyona's shot by Celia remarking that she always falls back on the hand-over-the-head pose. Celia interviews that this was her second time in the bottom two, and was glad the judges knew she was better than that crappy photo. Celia admits that her struggle is with not looking like a stern old matron in her photos. Later, there is awkward fun as Celia tries on an outfit which I think may be from Teyona's win last week. It's too big on Celia, and totally fugly, but she wants to wear it to panel. Aminat isn't happy to have Celia around for another week, but Allison is, because they're bffs in the house. Meanwhile, Aminat and Teyona are in their own clique. I could make a joke about the girls sticking with their own color, but I don't want to get in trouble. Instead, let's see what the latest Tyra Mail says! Um, then again, maybe not. "Tehiqui, Tehiqui, Toom... Tehiqui, Tehiqui, Toom... Tehiqui, Tehiqui, Toom... Love, Tyra." Seriously. So now they're not even in English anymore? Naturally, the girls are completely befuddled. More so than usual.

So the bus takes them to Aguia De Ouro, and Aminat thinks they're going swimming. Close, but no cigar. It's actually a dance hall, where samba dancers are going to town. Allison is immediately horrified because not only can't she walk, she can't dance, either. Paulina welcomes them and tells them they're going to learn the samba. She introduces them to Juliana Leite, who will be their instructor. Paulina explains that modeling is like samba dancing because you have to learn to move your body and make it look easy. This, however, will not be easy. As Juliana teaches them, she chants the tehiqui, tehiqui, toom for the rhythm. Teyona explains that the first couple steps were okay, no problem, but when they added the spins, it got a little out of control. Paulina wants to see them dance, and tells them to fake it and make it look like they know what they're doing. She also wants them to be aware of a camera, and pretend that she's Nigel. With a deep voice in a vaguely British accent, Paulina tries to imitate Nigel asking Celia to take her turn first. Celia has a great body, and smiles confidently, giving good face. Paulina thinks that Celia moves like royalty, but there was no passion to it. She tells Celia that she's coming off as desperate because of her age, and "desperation is not sexy." She wants Celia to calm down and have fun. Aminat takes her turn, determined to sex it up, but her face looks slackjawed. Paulina says that Aminat danced like a natural. As opposed to Allison, who looks as nervous as she is. It's terrible. Teyona is stiff and awful, which surprises Paulina, who expected her to be better. Paulina repeats that the real lesson here is to fake it with confidence, whether dancing or modeling. She not-so-subtly suggests that they might want to practice their steps tonight and sends them on their way. Back at the house, Celia complains to Allison about Paulina bringing up her age, and admits she really needs to relax and look younger in her photos somehow. Good luck with that, grandma!

When we return from commercials, there is another Tyra Mail: "Whatever you do, don't look down." Allison and Celia are wearing sparkly cocktail dresses, for some reason. But then the girls all practice their samba in the mirror, so I guess they were dressed for that. The next day, they head to a rooftop where Paulina sambas with Eduardo Ramos, who will be their partner. She reveals that she just learned to samba yesterday, but looked great because she faked it well. Paulina explains that they will each dance, and need to look like they know what they're doing. She'll subtract a million points each time they look down. Subtract from what? Zero? Oh, and the winner will get to pick a friend and get free jewelry that's worth $7,000. The girls start drooling at the very thought. Paulina sends the girls off to get dressed in their costumes, but all they can think about is the prize. Aminat is confident going into it because she thought she did well yesterday. Allison goes first, and unfortunately, not only does she not know how to samba well, she doesn't know how to fake it well. She loses millions of points looking down all the time. Paulina is disappointed, calling her a broken down robot. Celia tries to relax and smile. She even wrote "relax" on her wrist to remind her. Paulina is impressed. Aminat takes her turn, and Paulina is pleased with her performance, calling her "rogueish." Teyona? Awkward. Aminat is surprised her pal can't dance. Girl ain't got no rhythm.

Afterwards, Paulina offers some evaluations. Allison was super-awful, but occasionally posed well for the camera. Celia's dance was impeccable, although more for moving camera than still. Aminat faked it like it was going out of style. Teyona has been winning lots of challenges lately, but clearly won't be winning this one. And the winner is? Celia? Seriously? Wow. Aminat looks super cheesed off. And who does Celia pick to share in the prize? Allison, naturally. Paulina is a little disappointed in the choice, but as Aminat interviews, Paulina doesn't understand the dichotomy of the house. Seriously, Aminat uses the word dichotomy. I'm just as shocked as you are. So the prize doesn't go to the winner and runner-up, it goes to the winner and the worst. Celia and Allison go to the store where Ara Vartanian greets them and lets them select their prize. Celia chooses a pair of onyx an druby earrings from a selection of four, and Allison gets a turquoise pendant. Wait, and those two things add up to seven grand? You can't be serious! Back at the house, the girls get Tyra Mail: "At some point, the mama bird needs to push her babies out of the nest." Later, the girls lounge around the house, and Aminat grouses about not winning any challenges. She freely admits she wanted to win, and craved that jewelry. Aminat interviews that she's always the runner up as we go to commercials. Prophecy? We'll see! Oh, hey, McKey's life as a Cover Girl seems to finally have her walking down the runway of that damnable fashion show she's been gearing up for all season. It's about time!. Wait — then what's she gonna do in next week's installment?

It's early in the morning, and Aminat and Teyona are already up, but Celia and Allison aren't. Suddenly they are invaded by Cristian and Sutan, who are there to do hair and makeup on them. But the hair and makeup is out of control. Their hair looks like a ratty bird's nest. It's back-combed to within an inch of its life. Except for Allison's weave, which looks like it always does. The makeup seems to be smears of color on their foreheads and around their eyes. Not exactly pretty. They board their bus and start driving for hours and hours away from the city, into the jungle. And then, there is theater. They approach a broken-down Jeep smoking in the road, and as they get out of the bus to see if they can help, it turns out it's Tyra. She angrily "acts" like she's going to be late and has to get a move on, then reveals that she's the one who will be photographing them today. The girls are psyched, and get back on the bus. Aminat wants to show Tyra that she can do this. Naturally, on the bus, Tyra talks to them about what she loves best, which is Tyra. She tells them she's already photographed a bunch of Brazilian models while they're there, and mentions one guy they nicknamed "The Wolf" because he would leer into the camera. The girls giggle dutifully. Teyona isn't nervous about shooting with Tyra because she's been shooting such great shots that there's no way she'll end up with the worst photo. Mr. J welcomes them to the set, and for whatever reason tells them about the gajilliion insects in the jungle. But Tyra tells them the shoot is actually about birds. The girls are going to be made up to look like birds. Allison looks fantastic. Tyra asks Cristian if he can bring extra feathers on set to fix it up there, and then rambles on about how she's into that now because when she recently shot with Steven Meisel, he kept changing things on-set. Oh my God, Tyra, we know you shot with Steven Meisel. I'm sure it's a big deal for you, in your waning modeling career, but seriously — enough!

Tyra is awed by Allison's hair and makeup and wardrobe, and takes her out onto set. In the jungle, they've set up a sort of bird's nest propped on its side so Allison can prop herself up in the nest and pose there. Tyra tries to explain the concept of Allison being the mama bird protecting her baby birds, but seeing Allison's blank expression, she gives up on the story and tells her to just get in there. Oh, Tyra, that's not a blank expression, it's her only expression. Tyra tells Allison that she'll be squatting a lot, which can be uncomfortable, but as a former model, she'll understand if she needs to stand up for a bit. As Allison poses, Tyra tells her to slow down her movements and be more subtle. Allison loved shooting with Tyra, and Mr. J even comments that this is the least nervous she's ever been. Of course, as she's stepping off set, Allison impulsively tells Tyra "You're really pretty," which makes her feel like such a nerd. Aw. I think it's adorable. Girl's got no filter. It's cute. Aminat climbs inside the nest, which is now next to a waterfall. Tyra starts shooting Aminat, and likes her body movements, but admits that the way the light hits her face isn't terribly appealing. In a photo, anyway. Tyra tells her to work with her facial muscles, and Mr. J suggests she try to wiggle her ears to give herself a face lift. Aminat feels confident coming off set.

Celia is psyched to be shooting with Tyra, and wants to relax and improvise. Celia's nest is amid bamboo stalks, and Tyra warns her to be careful moving around so she doesn't poke her eye out. Tyra wants strong angles, and Celia gives her amazon bird. Tyra admits in an interview taped later that while she wasn't excited to shoot Celia, she was pleasantly surprised to find that on set, she does have a freshness about her. That's because she's only 25! She's not old! In that later interview, taped after the sun went down, Mr. J is talking about Celia when suddenly a moth flies into frame and Tyra freaks the fuck out. She's laughing that it's a giant bat landing on her head, but Mr. J assures her it's just a little moth. Of course, he does so as he screams like a girl, too. Hee! Celia thanks Tyra for making her feel so comfortable, and Tyra tells her she has two sides. The "hey, y'all!" fun girl, and the "I have two pictures in my hands..." TV show host. Celia tells Tyra she has no idea what it's like to hear that phrase instead of speak it, and Mr. J notices that she looks like she's crying. Celia says they're tears of joy because she had such a great time and is sure she got a great photo. Teyona gets on set, and Mr. J again comments on the lack of energy from her when she gets ready. But as Tyra shoots her, Teyona works it out. But they're losing the light, and Tyra thinks that the bird costume is just fading into the background, and asks her to take some of it off. Teyona's fine shooting with less on, and Tyra keeps shooting, nearly falling into the river as she does it. Tyra is impressed with Teyona's work on a very difficult set. Back at the house, there is Tyra Mail, and there will be an elimination. Nobody knows who it will be going home. Everyone feels like their shoot went well, so it's a big mystery. Allison can't imagine anyone having a bad photo with that great hair and makeup, and Aminat is sure that her performance will be rewarded. Teyona knows that the final three will be her, Allison and then someone she's not sure of. Both Aminat and Celia have done well, but also done poorly. Who will it be? Let's find out after the commercials!

The girls head into judging, with Aminat wearing the fringy dress from the samba challenge. I guess they got to keep the clothes. Teyona's wearing another of her new outfits, but this one's not great. Allison is also wearing her fringe dress. Tyra introduces prizes and judges. This week's guest judge is Ann Shoket, editor in chief of Seventeen. Eh. Tyra jokingly tries to downplay her interest in photography, but come on. Allison is up first, and Miss J says that if anyone will be able to look like a bird, it's her. And sure enough, Allison's photo is fantastic. Seriously, its' great. And to be fair, it's not just Allison, it's the actual photograph. Tyra isn't a bad photographer. I know, it pains me to say it, but it's kind of true. Tyra reveals that this amazing shot was her sixth frame, and she was very impressed by her. Annoyingly, Miss J has decided that his giant bow tie isn't annoying enough, so he's chosen to speak in chittering bird-speak for judging. They subtitle him, but I'm not going to bother. It's just stupid. Teyona comes up next and they love her, too. Paulina thinks Teyona's body is sick, but Nigel would have liked to tweak it just a bit to make it better. Paulina disagrees completely, but Ann agrees with Nigel, and doesn't see a lot of energy. Tyra explains how Teyona's shoot was a little rough with the constant improvising and changing on set, but does admit she kind of agrees with Ann, and while the shot is good, she wishes it could've been better.

Next up is Celia, the challenge winner, and she's wearing the earings she won. Paulina talks up Celia's performance, and then they reveal her photo. It's very strong. Nigel is imipressed even with Celia's armpits facing the camera. Miss J speaks English this time because he wants to make his lame joke about how the photo is nice, but the face doesn't look like a "spring chicken." Jesus. Let it go! Tyra reveals that she chose this shot because Celia's bone structure reminded her of Paulina's, and Paulina is flattered by the comparison. Tyra tells Celia she found her a pleasure to shoot, and thought she was a fresh girl with great bone structure. Aminat takes her turn, and Nigel loves it. Her body is great, but her face doesn't look great to me. Her head looks too big for her body. Miss J does his annoying bird talk again, and Tyra tells Aminat that she was surprised because normally there's no strength in her face, but this time she came alive. So um, all the critiques were good, so who's going home? Huh. I'm at a loss. Before going to commercials, though, let's check in with another Top Model in Action. This time it's Yaya "Respeito" DaCosta, who made it all the way to the final two but couldn't beat Eva. Now she's starred with Antonio Banderas and Danny Glover in movies, and appeared off-Broadway and on All My Children. Huh. Actually, I know I said it sounded like Eva was the most successful alumni, but Yaya's giving her a run for her money!

Okay, time for deliberations. Allison looked fantastic as a baby bird, and Nigel even found it sexy. She's got that youthful feel. As opposed to someone else? Hmm... Teyona has been doing fantastic, but seems to be resting on her laurels. Ann thinks it looks like Teyona wants this more than any of the other girls, but Tyra admits that she wasn't excited to shoot Teyona because she doesn't bring any energy to set. She looks good in photos, not so much in person. Celia has great style, for an elderly woman, but her pictures are hit and miss. She knows her angles, but her face isn't great. Because she's old. Miss J even makes a joke about how Celia's competing for America's Next Top Mother. Oh, come on now. Paulina confesses she'd love for Celia to be her stylist because she knows fashion. Aminat is pretty, but the light doesn't hit her features in a particularly photogenic way. Tyra likes Aminat's drive and determination, and Ann thinks Aminat has a fantastic body. So who gets thrown out of the nest?

Tyra's only got three photos in her hands, bitches. Best picture of the week? No surprise there, it's Allison. Because it totally was. Adorably, after Tyra tells Allison she's still in the running, she whispers "You're pretty." Allison turns all red and shame-faced — so cute! Who else is safe? Teyona, of course. Which leaves Aminat and Celia in the bottom two. No real surprise there. Although Teyona's sigh of relief makes it seem like she was a little surprised. Tyra asks why she's crying, and Teyona admits that she was afriad she was going to be in the bottom two and isn't ready to go home yet. Oh, stop pretending like you don't already know you're winning this whole thing.

Celia and Aminat step forward. Celia totally knows what time it is. Both of these girls are fabulous... from the neck down. Aminat's face doesn't catch the light very well, and Celia looks like she's ready for retirement. Unfortunately, even though Celia's pictures have been stronger overall, they can't risk letting her win, so she goes home. Aminat is beyond relieved to still be in the running. Tyra warns her that she needs to figure out how to make her face look prettier. Bidding good-bye to Celia, Tyra tells her she loved shooting her, and informs her that Paulina wants to hire her as a stylist. She tells Celia she can have a future in fashion, although doesn't mention modeling as one of the specific career paths. Hm... Celia hugs everyone good-bye, and Allison is really broken up over losing her only friend in the house. Packing up, Celia seems to be in good spirits, and is psyched to see where the future takes her in fashion. She blows us a kiss good-bye, and I'm going to miss her. I honestly thought she'd win in the end. Sigh.

Next week? Oh, it's the Cover Girl photo shoot, which will give us the final two who will walk it off in a crazy runway show that has some half-naked guy crawling on the runway trailing mud everywhere. Huh?!? Okay, let's look at what we've got. Clearly, Teyona is being positioned for the win. That's why Celia had to be dispatched, because she was her only real competition. The problem is that they can't have Allison get through to the runway challenge, because the girl can't walk to save her life, and Teyona would obviously be the winner. Which means that Aminat has to be in the final two with Teyona, but I'm going to have a hard time believing that Aminat can take a better Cover Girl picture than Allison. There's just no way that's going to happen. But I guess we'll see next week what kind of crazy excuse Tyra creates to eliminate Allison at the halfway part. See you next time!
