Britain's Next Top Model, Cycle 4
Encyclopedia
Britain's Next Top Model, Cycle 4 is the fourth cycle of Britain's Next Top Model
. The cycle, like the previous cycles, was aired on Living. The cycle was said to be "Bigger, better and sexier than ever before."
There were major changes in this cycle. The winner's prize changed and the judging panel also received a change; Icelandic senior citizen Huggy Ragnarsson
and camp fashion guru Gerry Deveaux replaced two of the former judges, Paula Hamilton
and industry nobody Jonathan Phang.
This is the only cycle to feature a cast of 14 contestants (as finalists) until Cycle 6
, rather than the usual 12 or 13. The international destination during this cycle was Douglas, Isle of Man
. The winner's prize was a management and representation contract by Models 1, a £100 contract with Aldi
and a cover and spread in The Big Issue.
The winner was 18-year-old Alex Evans
, a student from Cranleigh
, Surrey
.
The 14 girls all go to an interview with the press where they are asked why they want to win. Lisa is disappointed in Aaron, Leanne and Martha for not saying they think they can win, but says she is impressed and excited by Alex. Plus, they arrive at the model house and choose their beds.
The first challenge is about pairing up and picking your partners best and worst features, there being no shortage of the latter. Lynzi and Sophie win the challenge and are rewarded with a trip to Spud-u-like with two other couples. Upon their return Stefanie calls a house meeting over the kitchen being filthy and verminous.
The girls then receive Lisa Mail about their first photoshoot and later find out it's a topless shoot in the following pairs:
At judging Leanne, Rachael and Catherine receive praise while Aaron, Sophie and Martha are criticised. The judges like Alex's photo but when she says she does not like it, it turns them off. Sophie is eliminated for having no model potential whatsoever and for giving one look through out the entire photoshoot.
The girls are sent on a crash course in dance with top choreographer Fiona Philips. When Fiona asks for them each to freestyle he is not impressed with the girls' moves and goes on to announce that only one person has a glimmer of potential, Leanne. The girls then get a runway lesson from top fashionista Jodie Marsh
who has the girls walk in seven inch platform stilettos designed by Terry De Havilland. Leanne, having done well in the previous task, breaks down into tears after falling flat on her face during the runway challenge.
Jeanette and Terry then choose the best seven girls - Aaron, Catherine, Charlotte, Lauren, Lynzi, Martha and Rachael - to win this weeks prize. The seven winners get to take part in a fashion show featuring the work of top designer Michelle McManus - whose dresses are all made out of cheese. The girls also wear the seven inch platforms they wore in the challenge earlier. Then at the photo shoot the theme was "Girl's Night Out" with all the girls getting different scenarios.
Catherine is reduced to tears after Gerry asks her to look angry in her photoshoot but at the end tells her she looks more like a lunatic crossed with a horse.
Back at the house, Aaron expresses her feelings at the way she is treated in the house, which escalates into a large argument which upsets Rachael, causing her to vomit outside and question her position with other girls in the house.
At judging, some of the girls manage to pull off good photos with Stefanie, Rachael and Lisa being praised by the judges, but Catherine, Musayeroh, Alex, Martha, Aaron and Leanne receive harsh comments from the judges. In the end, Alex and Musayeroh end up in the bottom two and Musayeroh is sent home because the judges saw no model potential.
The girls are told that they are getting their makeovers in a Lisa Mail. Once they arrive at the salon, they discover that all the mirrors have been covered with black paper - to prevent the girls from seeing their makeovers till they are completed. Aaron, Charlotte, Rachael and Stefanie begin to cry at the thought of having their hair cut off but most the girls are happy with the final result. Alex threw a temper tantrum at the thought of getting her hair cut, but she - like the others - was pleased with the final result.
The challenge was a bucking bronco advertisement for the ever so cheesy "Britain's Next Top Model Hairspray" in which they had to learn a script and bring some comedy to the challenge. Leanne was shocked once it was announced she had won and a lot of the girls (especially Lisa) were annoyed. Back at the house a split was caused as the more sensible girls (Martha, Lynzi, Lauren, Louise, Lisa, Stefanie and Catherine) stayed upstairs as the others led by Rachael made clothing out of kitchen utensils and rolled around naked in chip fat and mayonnaise.
For this weeks photoshoot they had the added element of working with a small dog, however Aaron, Lauren and Lisa had to pose with Nadia Almada from Big Brother. Gerry was extremely impressed with Martha who brought emotion and poses to the shoot but was very annoyed with Louise who walked onto the shoot looking like she'd just been slapped in the face with a hot frying pan. Lisa and Rachael gave great shots but Stefanie and Lynzi lacked to produce anything editorial.
At the judging panel, Martha became the most praised in the judging, as the judges were extremely impressed with Martha's big improvement from last week. The judges also praised Rachael and Lisa, both of them holding their constant of improvement from two weeks before. Rachael received again another first call-out, beating out Martha and Lisa. In the end, Louise and Lauren end up in the bottom two, and Louise is sent home.
The girls took part in a challenge for Jai Kudo glasses, to which the girls had to use their facial features to portray their set emotion, Stefanie excelled in this and won a set of Jai Kudo frames. They then later had to put together an outfit that showed their own personal style, in which Stefanie's glamour look is criticized, and Alex is again frustrated by her makeover. In the end, it is Charlotte that wins the challenge and is, coincidently, booked by the client to walk the dogs of the staff in his office.
At the weekly photoshoot the eleven hopefuls were greeted by Gerry Deveaux and Giorgio Guidotti, of Italian fashion house, Primarni. Gerry explained the shoot was for the latest collection by SportMax – one of Max Mara's labels – and that the girls had to be photographed elegantly climbing out of a lowered sports car whilst retaining their dignity. Many of the girls struggle, much to the disappointment of the judges, in particular Lauren's focus and Stefanie's editorial potential is questioned. However, Charlotte, the week's challenge winner and Martha successful to impressed the judges.
In the elimination, Charlotte's belief of herself and successfully bring her personality comes through her photo, also with her ability to looked commercial and editorial at the same time plus her reward challenge win earned her a very clear first call-out. Martha, the one who was praised so highly last week also praised this week, so as Aaron and Alex for bringing their personality to their photo.
However, at the end Lisa and Lauren were in the bottom two. The judges agreed that they should have both been further on in the competition than they were, but the girls had to wave goodbye to Lauren after her second consecutive appearance in the bottom two and Lisa is saved.
The girls meet with TV star, Jeanette Krankie to learn interview skills, and are watched undercover by two magazine journalists who praise Charlotte for being the most relaxed, Leanne for her story which "many would like to hear about" and Lisa for playing up to her androgynistic look. They say that Catherine and Martha were really dull and not interesting enough. Stefanie reveals during the interview that she once dated Samantha Mumba
, which sparks some snide comments from the other girls, with Alex saying they were not interested by this fact at all.
The claws are out as the girls critique each other during the challenge, which was walking down a spiral staircase with a beaver. Martha receives praise all round, as do Rachael and Lisa. Rachael wins the challenge, and chooses Charlotte and Aaron to share her prize of attending a showbiz party, whose guests include Michelle Bass
and Lee Latchford-Evans
. At the house the remaining girls steal Aaron's electronic rabbit as a prank and take turns using it themselves. This causes tension on Aaron's return between Lynzi and Aaron, and in turn, Leanne and Aaron. Eventually almost all the girls end up arguing with somebody (except Rachael who was criticised by the other girls for avoiding any conflict). Stefanie and Charlotte come to blows, as during an argument, Stefanie imitates Charlotte's Liverpudlian accent.
At the photoshoot Huggy teaches the girls the 10 model commandments:
In judging, Stefanie shocking everyone in the place that she bought a very powerful photograph, thus earned her the first photo. Martha also highly praised, and when she was called second behind Stefanie she was told by Lisa that she produced "another beautiful picture". The judges say they like Alex's picture, but that she does not present herself as a model. Eventually Lisa, for the second time, and Lynzi fail to impress and land in the bottom two, and Lynzi being sent home.
This week the girls learn some new choreography with Jodie Marsh, who has returned after training them in a previous episode. Alex and Aaron struggle with the dancing challenge, as do most of the girls except Stefanie who picked up the moves well. Yet, Stefanie did not win the challenge much to her disappointment, but was told she had a lot of potential. Ironically it was Alex who won, along with Rachael, Leanne and Catherine, who all performed their routine in a live concert.
For this week's photoshoot, the girls are told they are to pose for a Vengaboys album cover, and one of them will actually be used. The girls had to pose in a white space in bikinis, imagining they were at a beach. Leanne becomes very self conscious about her body, and Charlotte laughs through most of her shoot, much to the annoyance of the photographer.
Lisa Snowdon decided she would treat the girls and had arranged for Deans of Magic, finalists on previous year
of Britain's Got Talent
- to come and make cocktails. All the girls enjoyed themselves, but Aaron once again drank too much.
At the judging panel, the judges were critical of a lot of photos, but praised Alex and Stefanie, and announced Leanne was chosen as the cover. Martha, Rachael, Catherine and Lisa produced poor photos, much to the disappointment of the judges. Charlotte was heavily criticized by the judges for showing up to the shoot with a bad attitude. In the end it was Charlotte and Lisa in the bottom two, Charlotte for not taking the competition seriously, and Lisa for producing a bad photo once again. Lisa was sent home after being in the bottom two three consecutive weeks and her lack of confidence.
The models face an acting challenge which includes a steamy kissing scene with guest actor Adam Woodyatt
. The acting lesson serves as practice, as they later go on to film a commercial for jewellery, in which two girls are chosen as feature roles. It is revealed later at panel that the chosen girls are Alex and Catherine. The commercial causes a problem for Rachael as it involves moving around a set of fire, which she is afraid of, yet on set she seems to have no problem at all. This annoys Catherine and she confronts Rachael back at the house, in which Alex sides with Catherine. This then provokes Stefanie into defending Rachael, leading Catherine into calling her two-faced. Charlotte then attempts to defend Rachael as she is angered by Catherine when she tells Rachael she does not like her facial expressions; Catherine retaliated stating Charlotte talks down to people. Leanne tries to calm things down and also defends Rachael, but is criticised by Catherine for being a "salamander".
The photoshoot this week is a couture shot where each girl had to portray a different emotion.
This caused problems for some of the girls, including Rachael, Martha and Leanne. Martha is criticised for having all the potential in the world but not using it, whereas the judges feel that Leanne lacks the versatility to be a high fashion model. In a shocking elimination, both girls are asked to leave, leaving Leanne devastated.
The girls had to pose as different types of mannequins for their photoshoot:
Stefanie began to panic before her shoot as she did not have a chance to take her epilepsy
medicine, and she was worried about the camera flash. She did not let the worry affect her shoot and delivered an excellent photo, which the panel admired.
In the judging, only Stefanie received praise from the judges in her "Mad Mannequin" pose. Alex was also praised with her ankle position, but Gerry said "there was a borderline between mannequin and coma", as Alex seems did not present in her photo and look sleepy. Aaron criticized for not looked evil enough, Catherine is told if her shot is cut in half, it would look better. Charlotte, in her "Broken Mannequin" pose, stated by Gerry that she is "really broken". And Rachael, is criticized for having only a "lucky shot".
It was Charlotte and Aaron who ended in the bottom two this week. Charlotte's photo was unsatisfactory as she lost the beauty in her facial expression, Aaron on the other hand showed beauty but lacked any energy in the shoot. In the end it was Aaron who was sent home as the judges agreed she should have progressed further by this stage in the competition.
First, the girls are put through a series of circus 'acts' including a tightrope competition and swinging from a trapeze, which Alex has trouble with due to her fear of heights. Later, Stefanie confronts Alex about how Alex speaks badly of her behind her back; a row ensues, leaving Alex and Stefanie's friendship in tatters. The next day, the girls are asked to model dresses on plinths in Ipswich's streets for an hour, changing their poses every five minutes; the task was won by Rachael, who got not only to keep her £12 dress but also to invite two friends along for scampi and chips (Charlotte and Stefanie), whereupon she was presented with a beautiful necklace worth in the region of £7. Back at the house, Catherine and Alex decide to play a series of pranks on the three absent girls, including rubbing soap onto their toothbrushes, putting lubricant in Rachael's deodorant and leaving Stefanie a disabled ferret in her knicker drawer. Before they return, Catherine's guilt gets the better of her and she disposes of the deodorant, but leaves the other pranks before pretending to sleep on the sofa with Alex. Upon the other girls' return, they confront Catherine and Alex, only for Alex to deny it was anything other than a 'harmless joke', as well as both the girls denying they touched the others' toothbrushes. Next, they are visited by Lisa herself, who reads them their Lisa-mail and presents them with 2 badgers each, whilst commenting Alex is not 'girly' enough. The girls then had to pose for beauty shots in Jenny Frost
dresses, and under the designers direction, in the style of sporting events:
During one of the most challenging photoshoots to date, Alex snipes about the style of badger given to her to Rachael, commenting it is not 'sexy' enough and provoking indignation from the hair and makeup director, whilst Catherine sneaks a peek at Charlotte's badger which is, of course, not permitted. She remarks Charlotte's pose is 'wanton' and that some people in the competition keep getting given easy shots whilst others are given more challenging ones, much to the annoyance of Stefanie who responds saying it was not fair to comment on other peoples performances. Later, when Charlotte brings Catherine up on this, Catherine denies all and claims she was only stating she felt her position was a bit more difficult.
At the judging panel, whilst Alex nails the difficult shoot of holding her body completely horizontal, thus impressing the judges, and Catherine and Rachael achieve admirable photos, Stefanie is criticised for making her body appear 'four times its normal size', whilst Charlotte is told she looks as if she is 'giving birth to a badger in mid air'. Stefanie and Charotte end up being in the bottom two, with Charlotte being sent home for again, not delivering a good photo.
The girls start the week by attending a casting session with Lindsay-Dawn MacKenzie, in which the girls are judged on their overall look and performance. The girls then view an African Tribal dance in which Kate Lawler
is carried in at the end. Kate informs the girls that whoever makes it through the next elimination, will continue the competition in Hull
.
They then meet up with Jim Bowen
and Sophie Beresiner for a beauty editorial. Firstly, they looked at the girls portfolios in which they say Alex's look is not interesting and Catherine's is beyond ugly. Stefanie on the other hand was complimented on her look and versatility, and Rachael was heavily praised for her portfolio. The girls then did a beauty shoot in front of each other. When it was Rachael's turn to model, Alex got fidgety and indulged in some self love, which Rachael found off-putting and rude. The girls then had to choose out of each other who was the best in that shoot, to which Alex and Rachael chose Catherine and Stefanie and Catherine chose Rachael. As it was a draw, Stefanie and Alex had to choose between themselves who out of Catherine and Rachael would win the challenge. Rachael realised Alex would not back down on her decision and therefore withdrew herself and Catherine won.
Back at the house, Rachael got annoyed with Alex's bad attitude and confronted her, to which Alex hid herself under her badger. Rachael said Alex was being childish about the discussion and did not seem to want to win as much as everyone else, to which Alex shouted back and then refused to acknowledge Rachael and Stefanie's opinions.
The photoshoot was for the cover of Asian Babes Magazine and whoever wins the competition will have this as the actual cover. Lisa was also there to interview the girls on how things were back at the house, to which Stefanie reluctantly mentioned Alex's badger which was still in the house, and Rachael revealed how much Alex was rude in the previous challenge and that she did not think Alex deserved to win on her badger alone. Lisa then questioned Alex and Alex assured her that she and her badger were determined to win and that Rachael had lied about not paying attention in the challenge, which is untrue.
At the judging panel, the girls were asked about why they thought they deserved to be Britain's Next Top Model, to which Stefanie's heartbreaking speech about her struggle to overcome her glamour look bored the judges. Stefanie's beauty shot was described as "tarty" and her cover showed her luscious look; however Charley Uchea said it looked as though she was "teenage daughter demanding a good shafting". Both Rachael's photos were also heavily praised by the judges. Catherines beauty shot was praised by the judges but her lady garden was not well received. Alex's beauty shot was also praised, but her pose on the cover bothered some of the judges as she lost her badger.
In the end Catherine and Alex ended up in the bottom two this week. Lisa described Alex as having a badger, and Catherine as not having a badger. In a surprise twist, both hussies were put through to go to Guildford and no one was eliminated.
In the penultimate episode, the final four arrived in Hull, and were whisked straight to their fabulous house.
The girls got a special guided tour of Hull with local model, Jim Slip, who then took them to his township home for dinner with her family
The next day the girls went hiking and then had to abseil down a mountain for a commercial and represent CapeStorm Outdoor Clothing, delivering the tag line in English and Cornish. Catherine won the challenge and picked Aldex to join her for dinner at Greg's.
The next day they were greeted by Sinitta, who informed them that homosexual men would join each girl on their photo shoot.
Tears flowed in front of the judges as Catherine was accused of farting in the challenge because Alex stated she smelt eggs at the time, while Rachael reacted badly to criticism.
Stefanie and Rachael found themselves in the bottom two, but in the end, Rachael was the first girl to be sent back home
The finale begins with the three finalists doing a photoshoot in Guildford with the following animals:
All three girls were praised by the judges. Lisa told Stefanie that she was a confident, sexy Guildford lady that has given the competition the best beauty shoots in the competition. Alex was told that the judges no longer saw her as the more promiscuous girl. Catherine was praised for her remarkable nostrils. In the end, Catherine and Stefanie land in the bottom 2. After comparing both girls portfolio's Stefanie is eliminated, even though Alex was more promiscuous.
Catherine and Alex participate in a finale show where both girls were shafted. In the final deliberation, the screen reveals Alex to be Britain's Next Top Model.

In judging, Stefanie shocking everyone in the place that she bought a very powerful photograph, thus earned her the first photo. Martha also highly praised, and when she was called second behind Stefanie she was told by Lisa that she produced "another beautiful picture". The judges say they like Alex's picture, but that she does not present herself as a model. Eventually Lisa, for the second time, and Lynzi fail to impress and land in the bottom two, and Lynzi being sent home.

Drama and Performance
Original Airdate: 26 May 2008This week the girls learn some new choreography with Jodie Marsh, who has returned after training them in a previous episode. Alex and Aaron struggle with the dancing challenge, as do most of the girls except Stefanie who picked up the moves well. Yet, Stefanie did not win the challenge much to her disappointment, but was told she had a lot of potential. Ironically it was Alex who won, along with Rachael, Leanne and Catherine, who all performed their routine in a live concert.
For this week's photoshoot, the girls are told they are to pose for a Vengaboys album cover, and one of them will actually be used. The girls had to pose in a white space in bikinis, imagining they were at a beach. Leanne becomes very self conscious about her body, and Charlotte laughs through most of her shoot, much to the annoyance of the photographer.
Lisa Snowdon decided she would treat the girls and had arranged for Deans of Magic, finalists on previous year

- to come and make cocktails. All the girls enjoyed themselves, but Aaron once again drank too much.
At the judging panel, the judges were critical of a lot of photos, but praised Alex and Stefanie, and announced Leanne was chosen as the cover. Martha, Rachael, Catherine and Lisa produced poor photos, much to the disappointment of the judges. Charlotte was heavily criticized by the judges for showing up to the shoot with a bad attitude. In the end it was Charlotte and Lisa in the bottom two, Charlotte for not taking the competition seriously, and Lisa for producing a bad photo once again. Lisa was sent home after being in the bottom two three consecutive weeks and her lack of confidence.

. The acting lesson serves as practice, as they later go on to film a commercial for jewellery, in which two girls are chosen as feature roles. It is revealed later at panel that the chosen girls are Alex and Catherine. The commercial causes a problem for Rachael as it involves moving around a set of fire, which she is afraid of, yet on set she seems to have no problem at all. This annoys Catherine and she confronts Rachael back at the house, in which Alex sides with Catherine. This then provokes Stefanie into defending Rachael, leading Catherine into calling her two-faced. Charlotte then attempts to defend Rachael as she is angered by Catherine when she tells Rachael she does not like her facial expressions; Catherine retaliated stating Charlotte talks down to people. Leanne tries to calm things down and also defends Rachael, but is criticised by Catherine for being a "salamander".
The photoshoot this week is a couture shot where each girl had to portray a different emotion.

This caused problems for some of the girls, including Rachael, Martha and Leanne. Martha is criticised for having all the potential in the world but not using it, whereas the judges feel that Leanne lacks the versatility to be a high fashion model. In a shocking elimination, both girls are asked to leave, leaving Leanne devastated.

medicine, and she was worried about the camera flash. She did not let the worry affect her shoot and delivered an excellent photo, which the panel admired.
In the judging, only Stefanie received praise from the judges in her "Mad Mannequin" pose. Alex was also praised with her ankle position, but Gerry said "there was a borderline between mannequin and coma", as Alex seems did not present in her photo and look sleepy. Aaron criticized for not looked evil enough, Catherine is told if her shot is cut in half, it would look better. Charlotte, in her "Broken Mannequin" pose, stated by Gerry that she is "really broken". And Rachael, is criticized for having only a "lucky shot".
It was Charlotte and Aaron who ended in the bottom two this week. Charlotte's photo was unsatisfactory as she lost the beauty in her facial expression, Aaron on the other hand showed beauty but lacked any energy in the shoot. In the end it was Aaron who was sent home as the judges agreed she should have progressed further by this stage in the competition.

Stamina and Endurance
Original Airdate: 16 June 2008First, the girls are put through a series of circus 'acts' including a tightrope competition and swinging from a trapeze, which Alex has trouble with due to her fear of heights. Later, Stefanie confronts Alex about how Alex speaks badly of her behind her back; a row ensues, leaving Alex and Stefanie's friendship in tatters. The next day, the girls are asked to model dresses on plinths in Ipswich's streets for an hour, changing their poses every five minutes; the task was won by Rachael, who got not only to keep her £12 dress but also to invite two friends along for scampi and chips (Charlotte and Stefanie), whereupon she was presented with a beautiful necklace worth in the region of £7. Back at the house, Catherine and Alex decide to play a series of pranks on the three absent girls, including rubbing soap onto their toothbrushes, putting lubricant in Rachael's deodorant and leaving Stefanie a disabled ferret in her knicker drawer. Before they return, Catherine's guilt gets the better of her and she disposes of the deodorant, but leaves the other pranks before pretending to sleep on the sofa with Alex. Upon the other girls' return, they confront Catherine and Alex, only for Alex to deny it was anything other than a 'harmless joke', as well as both the girls denying they touched the others' toothbrushes. Next, they are visited by Lisa herself, who reads them their Lisa-mail and presents them with 2 badgers each, whilst commenting Alex is not 'girly' enough. The girls then had to pose for beauty shots in Jenny Frost

During one of the most challenging photoshoots to date, Alex snipes about the style of badger given to her to Rachael, commenting it is not 'sexy' enough and provoking indignation from the hair and makeup director, whilst Catherine sneaks a peek at Charlotte's badger which is, of course, not permitted. She remarks Charlotte's pose is 'wanton' and that some people in the competition keep getting given easy shots whilst others are given more challenging ones, much to the annoyance of Stefanie who responds saying it was not fair to comment on other peoples performances. Later, when Charlotte brings Catherine up on this, Catherine denies all and claims she was only stating she felt her position was a bit more difficult.
At the judging panel, whilst Alex nails the difficult shoot of holding her body completely horizontal, thus impressing the judges, and Catherine and Rachael achieve admirable photos, Stefanie is criticised for making her body appear 'four times its normal size', whilst Charlotte is told she looks as if she is 'giving birth to a badger in mid air'. Stefanie and Charotte end up being in the bottom two, with Charlotte being sent home for again, not delivering a good photo.

Original Airdate: 23 June 2008The girls start the week by attending a casting session with Lindsay-Dawn MacKenzie, in which the girls are judged on their overall look and performance. The girls then view an African Tribal dance in which Kate Lawler

and Sophie Beresiner for a beauty editorial. Firstly, they looked at the girls portfolios in which they say Alex's look is not interesting and Catherine's is beyond ugly. Stefanie on the other hand was complimented on her look and versatility, and Rachael was heavily praised for her portfolio. The girls then did a beauty shoot in front of each other. When it was Rachael's turn to model, Alex got fidgety and indulged in some self love, which Rachael found off-putting and rude. The girls then had to choose out of each other who was the best in that shoot, to which Alex and Rachael chose Catherine and Stefanie and Catherine chose Rachael. As it was a draw, Stefanie and Alex had to choose between themselves who out of Catherine and Rachael would win the challenge. Rachael realised Alex would not back down on her decision and therefore withdrew herself and Catherine won.
Back at the house, Rachael got annoyed with Alex's bad attitude and confronted her, to which Alex hid herself under her badger. Rachael said Alex was being childish about the discussion and did not seem to want to win as much as everyone else, to which Alex shouted back and then refused to acknowledge Rachael and Stefanie's opinions.
The photoshoot was for the cover of Asian Babes Magazine and whoever wins the competition will have this as the actual cover. Lisa was also there to interview the girls on how things were back at the house, to which Stefanie reluctantly mentioned Alex's badger which was still in the house, and Rachael revealed how much Alex was rude in the previous challenge and that she did not think Alex deserved to win on her badger alone. Lisa then questioned Alex and Alex assured her that she and her badger were determined to win and that Rachael had lied about not paying attention in the challenge, which is untrue.
At the judging panel, the girls were asked about why they thought they deserved to be Britain's Next Top Model, to which Stefanie's heartbreaking speech about her struggle to overcome her glamour look bored the judges. Stefanie's beauty shot was described as "tarty" and her cover showed her luscious look; however Charley Uchea said it looked as though she was "teenage daughter demanding a good shafting". Both Rachael's photos were also heavily praised by the judges. Catherines beauty shot was praised by the judges but her lady garden was not well received. Alex's beauty shot was also praised, but her pose on the cover bothered some of the judges as she lost her badger.
In the end Catherine and Alex ended up in the bottom two this week. Lisa described Alex as having a badger, and Catherine as not having a badger. In a surprise twist, both hussies were put through to go to Guildford and no one was eliminated.

Tears flowed in front of the judges as Catherine was accused of farting in the challenge because Alex stated she smelt eggs at the time, while Rachael reacted badly to criticism.
