We’re down to six models now, and you know what that means – time to travel! André meets the girls at the mansion and informs them they are going to Greece. They break a bunch of plates, fulfilling a wonderful Greek stereotype and leaving one helluva mess for the maid. 

Once they arrive in Athens, they are introduced to Vicky Kaya, the host of Greece’s Next Top Model. The girls are told for this week’s challenge they need to write a speech to introduce themselves when they get off the plane in Crete. There are bonus points for speaking Greek. (Does “feta” count?) 

Lisa, while exuberant, is dressed like a skank. Allison knocks it out of the park by speaking Greek and dropping art and mythology references. Shannon falls flat, and when asked what her favourite Greek dish is, Dominique answers, “tahini sauce”. Angelea wings it and has the crowd in her back pocket until she ends by asking, “where’s the bano” (bathroom) and the best "oops" of the day goes to Laura who declares that if she were a goddess, she would be Venus -- you know, the one from Rome. My girl Allison wins the challenge and the girls head to their new home away from home, the Blue Palace Resort and Spa

Next up, the girls find out that for this season’s final runway, Michael Cinco will be designing their dresses. They each get five minutes to talk with him about their vision. My favourite part of the episode is Lisa telling Michael that she wants something with Christmas lights and him responding that he doesn’t like to make things with lights because he doesn’t want it to look tacky. Oh no you didn’t!

For this week’s photo shoot, the girls will be photographed by Niko Papadopoulos in a big bowl of Greek salad, while modeling underwear -- olive oil and all. Shannon doesn’t want to model the underwear, even though the underwear looks like a bathing suit and she has previously modeled bathing suits that look like underwear. At panel, Nigel says that it sounds like semantics and it isn’t a moral issue, it’s a labeling and a naming issue. She decides to sit this shoot out, which means she doesn’t have a photo for this week’s panel.

Dominique looks really good in her shot - dare I say, like a lady? André calls her “Helen of Troy in a Greek Salad” and the panel raves about how good her hair looks. Angelea ends up looking like a Sports Illustrated model and Tyra says she modeled “H2T” -- meaning head to toe. 

Allison, who describes herself as having "vampire vision", has a hard time with the bright light and ends up with a photo where her eyes are closed. She cracked me up when she said that getting into the bowl felt like stepping into someone’s organs. Only Allison, right?

Lisa took a beautiful profile shot, but the photographer felt she was very calculated and that she was doing a swim shot pose, not modeling underwear -- there’s apparently a difference. Laura, who’s brand is supposed to be “lovable” delivers a raw and erotic photo, which leaves the panel confused. 

Dominique finally wins best photo, while the bottom two are Laura and Shannon. Shannon gets the boot, and not only because she didn’t do the underwear shoot, but because she had never received a top photo. 

Tune in next week when Miss Jay encourages the girls to tell each other what the think of each other (always a recipe for drama), leaving Angelea in tears.
