'America's Next Top Model' recap - The models race through Walmart

Bianca's interview

On this week's "America's Next Top Model" the girls get make up tips from a famous make up artist.  They are told to remember that all they need is concealer, lip gloss, mascara and bronzer and that the tips they learned will carry them through their entire careers. 

The contestants are taken to Walmart where they meet up with Nigel Barker and his wife, Chrissy.  Their challenge is to run to 4 departments - Clothes, Shoes, Make up and Photo and put together a look appropriate for go-sees.  Only the first 3 to cross the finish line would be judged.  At each station there would be less items than there would be models, so eliminations would happen as they ran the course.  Erin was the most aggressive and in the end she was one of the 3 to make it.  The other 2 were Bianca and Sundai.  The winner of the challenge was Sundai.  She won a photo shoot for the Cover Girl page on Walmart.com and a thousand dollar Walmart gift card. 

The girls were later photographed by Tyra herself.  The focus of this shoot was the close-up and with the models being so short, this is where they could make a name for themselves.  They would model scarves on their heads, their torsos, even over their faces.  Bianca, while moving well, still could not bring softness to her face.  Laura had a droopy face and lips until the wind was blowing on her, then she came alive.  Nicole did well with her face angles but her hands were awkward.  Ashley couldn't get it together after 3 wardrobe changes.  Tyra announced the best photo of the shoot while they were still on set, rather than at judges panel.  The best photo was Brittany's, with a scarf over her face.  She was able to shine through it.  She won a shoot for Tyra.com with 2 male models and immunity. 

At panel, the judges were impressed with Jennifer's energy and personality making her the runner up for best photo.  The bottom two were Bianca and Ashley and after 2 chances, on this third occasion of being in this spot, Bianca was sent home for not knowing how to soften her look.
