Find out which model was eliminated on part two of episode two
The decision was between Alasia or Gabrielle leaving the competition, but host Tyra Banks said Gabrielle's photos were unimpressive and caused silence, not the needed debate, among her and the other judges. Tyra also mentioned that Alasia was only staying because special guest and Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley said he would hang her photograph in his salon in his home.
Sell the product
The part one photo shoot was a nude photo shoot. The models were allowed to choose one item - whether it be an accessory or clothing item - for the photo shoot, but the rest was all natural. The object was to sell their product, plus make themselves look incredible.

This was a huge eye opener for all of the women because it was their first time really watching their competition, and after the photo shoot several of the models thought Krista would be heading home because Jay had told her he liked her photos when he covered her face. Not good!

Comments
IMO she ruined it for herself by playing the
"Biracial Pity Card" ('fake-tears') at her
intro when she noted she was biracial
In the past, the 'Card' did work -- but
today, most people are just worn out
by 'Biracial-Whining' & feeling everyone
has to walk-on-eggshells around biracials
(to avoid causing upset/offense over nothing)
Mixed-Race is just too common in today's
world for any biracial to expect to "win" by just
pulling out the good old "Tragic Mulatto" Card
The 'Card' is over-played
