Previously, the models had to dissect pigs and when the teacher makes a mistake on Lisa’s pig, Andre throws a fit. The callback challenge was to shoot a body wash commercial in a cold shower. Everyone got mad at VJ for eavesdropping and cheating. After a sad “Smart Off” against Blonde Rachel, Lisa was sent packing.

After the elimination, Blonde Rachel is jumping around in the kitchen celebrating her win and decides to suck up to Daniel so she can get smarter. She flat out tells him she will be his partner in the next challenge. Meanwhile, Andre adds Lisa’s name to his mirror or eliminated models. He thinks winning will be a piece of cake.

The next day, Pickel reads a note that tells them it has something to do with shapes, pick partners, and meet outside in an hour. Brett and Pickel pair up, Blonde Rachel is depending on Daniel, Angela agrees to be with Andre, and Aussie Rachel and VJ will be partners. Brett thinks it’s a bad move on Daniel’s part to try and help Blonde Rachel.

They arrive at the challenge and Ben tells them they will use Geometry to fashion 6 shapes and create a runway outfit for one team member. Their guest judge is Santino from Project Runway. Ben tells them the shapes they will use and their exact measurements are on the chalkboard. Each partner will be in charge of cutting 3 shapes. The second person can’t start until the first person is completely finished. They get 30 minutes to do them all. Andre is having trouble with inches instead of meters. Santino says it’s a good thing they are pretty because they don’t have anything else going for them. Aussie Rachel flies through it easily and Brett finishes quickly, too. Andre gets stuck on the circle and Angela tells him to use the string. VJ overhears and does his instead. Daniel gets so frustrated and mad at Blonde Rachel because she can’t do any of them. VJ says he’s done and everyone has to stop drawing. Pickel is mad because he was almost done cutting his last shape. However, VJ has a shape that is wrong. Pickel finishes and his team wins.

Daniel starts getting angry because he says the rules weren’t clear and it wasn’t really a team challenge. Pickel says he’s just a sore loser. Andre just wants him to shut up. Blonde Rachel eventually tells him he’s getting upset for no reason and to calm down. Ben congratulates Brett and Pickel and tells them they get 30 minutes with Santino and they get to use all 6 shapes for their outfits. They also get to divvy up the shapes for the other teams. They give VJ the circle only because he’s sneaky. They felt sorry for Blonde Rachel and Daniel, so they get three shapes, which leaves two for Angela and Andre. Each team will get two student designers to help them. They get 30 minutes to figure their outfits and make them.

Brett and Pickel are very glad they have Santino because neither of them know anything about designing clothes. Angela says she and Andre have an edge because her mom is a clothing designer, so she knows what she’s doing. Andre argues, but eventually just gives her full reign. Blonde Rachel comes up with a design for the dress and she’s happy with it and thinks it’s better than anyone else’s. Andre is trying to help Angela get dressed and it’s having trouble getting over her boobs. He asks her if she’s on her period. Time is then up and they

In the van on the way back, Pickel is making fun of Daniel whining. Andre thinks it’s hilarious that Daniel is losing it and says he will be going home. When he gets back to the house, he searches for Daniel’s name tag to add to his collection.

At the callback challenge, Mary Alice introduces a hairstylist from V05 to help them get the hair to match their outfits for the show. She helps the models with their hair and makeup. Andre tries to get them to make the other teams ugly. Mary Alice then introduces the guest judge who is a celebrity stylist. She then tells them that as the one partner models, the other one will provide commentary. Pickel tapes up Brett’s feet, and Andre is trying to coach Angela on how to walk. VJ tries to help Aussie Rachel get into her outfit.

VJ and Aussie Rachel go first. She’s nervous it will fall apart and it has holes in the saddlebag area. Blonde Rachel calls her a mermaid wrapped in a kitchen floor. Blonde Rachel and Daniel head out next and she’s confident their outfit is the best. At the end of their presentation, Mary Alice asks Blonde Rachel what shapes they used. Daniel starts to answer, but Mary Alice cuts him off and makes Rachel tell her. She doesn’t pronounce “rhombus” correctly and has no idea what the other shapes are called. Andre is watching on a monitor backstage and loves that Daniel is falling apart. Daniel is frustrated Blonde Rachel isn’t trying. Next up is Andre and Angela. Andre says it can be worn anywhere and Ben calls him on that. He sticks by his story though, and Mary Alice tells him she loves his confidence. Brett and Pickel go next and Brett is dressed as a boxer and plays the part. Mary Alice asks Brett to take off the robe and notices his bottoms are a skirt. Pickel says it was an Asian influence like Ultimate Fighting. The guys backstage giggle.

They come out for critique and Mary Alice and the stylist tell Angela and Andre their outfit is a bit Dancing with the Stars, but the hair and makeup look great. Aussie Rachel and VJ are told their outfit isn’t very good and that VJ should have dressed up a bit more. Blonde Rachel and Daniel are told the color of their dress was not good and it was too simple. Daniel talks about how he helped design the dress and Mary Alice tells him he’s got some fashion designer in him. Brett and Pickel get kudos for outfits and presentation. Blonde Rachel thinks they just like cute boys. Not surprisingly, Pickel and Brett win the challenge and immunity.

Mary Alice says she has some unfinished business and calls Blonde Rachel down to the front. Mary Alice tells her she’s just not cutting it in the model or smarts department and she needs to pack up and leave immediately. Everyone is shocked and she cries hard as she packs. VJ goes to hug her and comfort her. Blonde Rachel says Mary Alice wrong about her because she’s beautiful on the outside and the inside and has a lot of potential and makes people laugh. Everyone else helps her take her bags outside.

As they head in for the elimination ceremony, Andre hopes they get rid of someone else that night. Mary Alice asks if anyone disagreed with their decision to send Blonde Rachel home and no one speaks up. She then gives Pickel and Brett kudos for their work that day and giving VJ and Aussie Rachel the circle. She calls VJ and Aussie Rachel down to the front and also Daniel for making the bad decision for teaming up with Blonde Rachel. He keeps arguing about how his dress was good and Ben tells him he’s not there to be the nicest model. Mary Alice tells him he’s in jeopardy because of his choices, but agrees he is the smartest one in the competition and sends him back with the others. Pickel is surprised that it comes down to VJ and Aussie Rachel and hopes that VJ will go home.

VJ is nervous and Mary Alice tells him she’s surprised he’s still there because he has the least amount of experience. She tells him he is savvy, calculating, and has great potential. He says having the title of the competition would open doors for him. She tells him he’s safe and to join the others. Pickel is stunned to see Aussie Rachel there. Mary Alice tells her she’s not tough enough to take this because it’s going to get harder. She thinks it’s nice that they are all friends, but real life modeling is much more cut throat. Ben tells her she is safe and no one is being eliminated. Aussie Rachel says she will step up her game and prove she wants to win. VJ says the fun is gone now that Blonde Rachel is gone as he does push ups. He’s only out to win now.

Next time, it’s Daniel’s birthday and they have a little party for him. The edge challenge was about networking at Daniel’s party. They then have to work with animals in the callback challenge.
