I must be stupid or something, but I had no idea that April was Japanese. And I don't see anything wrong with her wanting to be known as American especially if she isn't in touch with that part of her heritage. And Sara doesn't look exotic to me at all. She looks American. Americans all look different from the next.

I didn't really understand the point of the exercises they did for "charisma". It seemed to me it was just a way for the viewers to get to know the girls a little better.
Also, Janice ought to know by now that a lot of people think she is a b*tch. She shouldn't get offended because it is true.
I am glad Mercedes finally told about her illness, if not to the contestants but at least to the judges. They need to know about it although she might not want to get sympathy. I thought it was a little rude for Janice to announce it instead of letting Mercedes.

I was so excited about the photo shoot when it started. I flashed back to those bottled water ads that look so beautiful with the girl in a mermaid suit?
However, the only photo I really liked was Yoanna's. She looked so serene. I think what happened was they did a really bad job at selecting photographs. In the shoots, some of the girls performed very well but the photos didn't turn out to match their performance.
Why did they choose the cross eyed photo of Catie? Couldn't they find another?
Sara definitly did better with her eyes. There may be hope for her yet.
Camille's posing was just rediculous. It was crazier than her jumping in the shoe shoot (which didn't make the final photo). She doesn't listen to the people helping her. She just does her own thing completely.

I was really hoping Camille would be kicked out. I cannot believe how cocky she was! For the ad thing they had to do, she spent most of the time talking about herself. And just like Bethany's obsession with her boobs, if Camille really didn't care that people don't like her then she wouldn't talk about it so much!
I was sad Xiomara got kicked out because I wanted Camille gone first but also because Xiomara looked very feminine at the eliminations and they said that was something she had a problem with.

As the weeks go by, Yoanna is getting stronger and stronger. She's like a subtle version of Elyse.

Here are the photos:
