BINTM c9 episode 4: "The Birds and the Beeches"

Previously on Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model, the girls got their long-awaited makeovers. Despite most of the girls receiving minimalist changes, Saffron and Abigail refused to split with their ends. At a pummel horse shoot with Olympian Louis Smith, Lauren took the gold. And while Saffron, Abigail, and Laura failed to ride high on the horse, it was Danielle who took the pummel. Now, only 12 girls remain. Who will be eliminated tonight?

The episode opens up with Sophie and Holly complaining about the overall hygiene of the house. It is Angel’s trashy behavior, in particular, that upsets Holly; stating that her “shit is all over my bed”. Oblivious to the whereabouts of her feces, Angel blissfully ignores Holly and instead, shares the…

ELLE MAIL! With Locked out of Heaven thumping in the background, it reads: “Go and see if you can impress.”

Putting two and two together, the girls are ecstatic to walk for Lucifer. Despite her cries of “what do I wear”, Naomi throws on a coat of virgin hairs, eager to impress the client.

The Cast and the Furious

After a customary goat sacrifice, the girls are met by Models1 bookers. They are challenged to speed-date style castings; where they will try to book many jobs.

True to the Elle Mail, the girls’ first client is Daniel Lismore, a mix between Hades and an androgynous pop singer.


Prince (of the Underworld)

Sophie and Naomi both take minor tumbles, but Daniel assures them that they did well. Lauren, however, is praised for her naturally elegant strut. Likewise, Sarah and Saffron is lauded for working her tight red dress.

The second group, however, fails to be as professional. During Emma’s fitting, Angel is chastised for chatting. But the true disrespect comes from Abigail, who had the audacity to wear a blue bra. Daniel, a dedicated Smurfs hater, nearly foams at the mouth at the sight of Abigail’s garment. This rage boils over into Abi’s walk, where she trips over Daniel’s red-hot dress.


Girl on Ire

Now that he’s chosen some model representatives for the seven tits of Hell, the girls leave Daniel to walk for Ben De Lisi. Despite his intimidating posture, Ben assures the women that he’s going to give them constructive critics.

While Emily’s gallop fails to impress, Ben agrees that the star of the show is Naomi’s nose. Even though Angel and Emma try to prove him otherwise, Ben nose best and crowns Naomi as one of the best.

With the challenge concluded, Daniel and Ben choose their finalists. After some critique about confidence and overall poise, they have chosen…

ANGEL & SARAH. After picking Abigail and Emma to join their night-out, the other girls are relieved to spend some time without Angel. As they bask in the glory of ditching their guardian Angel, the girls get an

ELLE MAIL! “Do you fancy being the next queen of the castle? Don’t forget your buckets, and ditch your bikini. Luv Elle.”

Wither it’s foreshadowing to a nude shoot or a British coup d’etat, the girls are thrilled about the elusive message of the Mail.

Beaches & Cream

The next day, the girls are swept up early and taken to the beach (each, let’s go get away). They are met by Dannii Minogue and Joseph Sin Clair, but their main surprise is Jourdan Dunn, who will be advising the girls. Jourdan surprises the girls with the news that they will be wearing just jeans with the company of male models.

Sarah “transformed” into a vixen in the shoot, much to Dannii’s shock. Likewise, Naomi’s regal look works surprisingly well for this advert.


Long Live the Jean

Abigail was able to take direction well, and beat the cold to produce a steamy photograph. Jessica, on the other hand, was very awkward in her posing; letting her discomfort lead to a lack of variety.

Laura stood out during her sexy one-night stand, and Lauren was “so smoking”; half of the crew got lung cancer. Emily’s performance was merely second-hand smoke…

Angel and her male model had instant chemistry. With all the posing and arching, the shape was right and the ass looked heavenly. But enough about the male model…

Even though she was focusing more on the impending cold and covering up her nipples, Holly did manage to bring sexiness by the end of the shoot. Saffron was able to “grow from before” due to Dannii’s coaching.

Sophie suffered from the cold darkness at the end of the shoot, but was able to gain some good photos. From the very beginning, Emma was able to ooze sexual appeal. Watching the intense chemistry Emma and the male model displayed in this shoot was just enchanting. 

Hex on the Beach

At the end of the shoot, the girls worry about their performances.

Panel

As the girls view their photographs, the judges deliberate. While Elle appreciates Abigail’s features, Tyson calls her “a pretty girl, but not a model”. He also comments that Lauren is the star of the photo, a fact the women agree on. Laura and Sarah both get the sexy stamp of approval from the triad.

Dannii notes that Emily was more of a struggle to work with but Elle is fearful of Jessica’s inability to translate into photos. However, all three agree that Angel and Naomi hit the mark.

Tyson is worried that Holly’s body isn’t up to par, but her face is “wow”. He is also drawn to Saffron’s features, while the women find her lacking. Emma is praised by the trio but Sophie is “uncomfortable”.

“Of the thirteen of you, only nine of you are safe. The other four will remain in the room, where we will have a closer look at your work. Afterwards, one of you will leave. The girl who received picture of the week is…”

















BOTTOM FOUR


Abigail, despite having one of "the better images", feels terrible about her performance in the go-sees. Tyson thinks that she doesn't "have it" but has been proven wrong in photos. Likewise, Holly's photo was better than her go-sees. Dannii was uninspired by her scattered mind on set and Elle warns her to tone down the make-up at panel.

Jessica's walk, despite being chastised by Daniel, is praised by the women. Tyson, sensing that she was uncomfortable on the shoot, utters advice that many women have used on him before: "fake it". Sophie seemed "bored" during the go-sees and her photo continues the lack of passion.

“Four of you stand before me and the portfolio in my hands belongs to the girl who is not still in the running toward becoming Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model. Having said that…”"
Sophie, Holly, you are safe.

“Now, the girl who I call is no longer in the running toward becoming Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model. That girl is…”

JESSICA

She's upset that the "best time of her life" is over, but Jessica hopes to move on to better things.

Next week, the girls will take Polaroids with Nicki Johnston. If that wasn't terrifying enough, they will also slip underwater for a shot where Sarah freaks out. Don't you just want to comfort her? Anyway, until next time, hopefully Sarah can get over her fear of water and start smiling again...

Turn That Drown Upside Down!
