*shows Agyness in a white room with a crashed up car in the background, it zooms in on her*

Over ten thousand people die from it each year. Every year, it becomes a bigger issue. What is this? Drunk driving. Choosing to drive while intoxicated can possibly take the life of yourself, or someone you love. Mother's Against Drunk Driving are working every day to prevent the poor decision of drunk driving, and to help this cause, is to designate a sober driver.

Karlie: Multiple Personality Disorder

PSA: *shows Karlie getting dropped off at her house smiling and laughing. She get's out of the car happily and says bye to her friends. She gets in the house, her mom asks her about her night and she goes into a tantrum and stomps up stairs while screaming and yelling. The screen goes black as she slams her door* *Karlie sitting looking at the camera, speaking in a serious tone* Multiple Personality Disorder is no joke. Going from happy and having fun into a whirlwind of extreme rage and anger affects many in our world today. These switches, that happen in the snap of a finger, can turn violent and even deadly. With no found cure, the best we can do is support and help the ones in need. Reach out and be there for someone suffering with Multiple Personality Disorder.

Gertrud: Avon Foundation for Women: Speak Out Against Domestic Violence

PSA: *Shows Gertrud and her husband at a high society dinner party laughing and having a good time. They leave, say goodbye for their friends, and walk outside* *as they are walking outside*
Gertrud: Oh I forgot to say goodbye to Donna.
Husband: It doesn't matter, let's go.
Gertrud: It will just be a second. *starts to walk up the steps to go inside again, but her husband grabs her by the arm and pulls her down the stairs. She falls and begins to cry*
Husband: Oh, shut up and get in the car! *grabs her again as she's getting up and throws her in the car. The last clip is the picture ad for the PSA*
*Gertrud is now sitting on her bed at home with her makeup smeared all down her face*
No matter how happy someone looks, there may be something underlying. Domestic violence is often hidden and never seen, but the person knows it at heart. The hits, punches, and shoves break down the person being abused, not only physically, but mentally too. With no medication to make this go away, reaching out with a helping hand is the only cure. 1 in 4 women in the U.S. become a victim of abuse or partner violence in her life. The Avon Foundation For Women reaches out to help reduce that number. Speak out against domestic violence. It's the only cure.

*Shows Carola holding and feeding a baby bear*

This cub recently lost his mother. She was killed and skinned for her fur. Tens of thousands more bears will die this year at the hands of selfish humans, many of them right in front of their cubs. Orphaned cubs like this are completely dependent on their mothers for food and often cannot survive. You wouldn't leave an infant child alone to fend for itself, so why allow these baby bears to suffer? Visit peta.org today to find out how you can help make a difference and stop innocent animals from being killed needlessly and taken away from their defenseless young.

Merry Christmas! *kids run up to her, faces full of smiles* *she hands out toys, they thank her and she walks out* *takes off Santa costume*
Every year thousands of children don't get a toy for Christmas. This is because they either don't have a family to give them gifts or because their family doesn't have the money to get them gifts. This can all change with a little help. Toys for Tots Foundation is an organization, set up by the U.S. Marine Corps, to make sure every kid gets a gift for Christmas. Brighten up a child's day by donating a toy to the Toys for Tots Foundation. For more information go on toysfortots.org.

You are probably mortified right now my the gory, grotesque nature of this scene, but what you don't realize is that things like this happen everyday, only to animals. Forests are being destroyed year after year and in the process millions and millions of animals are being killed. You wouldn't want your home to be taken away so don't take away the homes of others.

*closeup of her face*
Hello, my name is Anais and that was me one months ago. I was abused by my father, my mother was in jail, my house was being sold, and I was moving across the country. I thought that there was no point in living anymore, so I cut myself thinking that would help the pain go away. It made it worse. I almost decided to take my life away but then I called the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. They calmed me down and *zooms out* I've been in rehab ever since. Over 30000 people a year commit suicide in the United States. Don't add to the statistic. If you or someone you know is thinking about committing suicide call 1800-273-TALK. Life is the greatest gift in the world, so don't take it away.


Melodie: To Write Love on Her Arms

*shows a girl dead in a bathroom*
This was my best friend Alice. She came from a rough background. She lived in a foster home and was abused by her foster parents. I was her only friend..... until a huge argument. I told her that I hate her and no one else loved her. It wasn't true but I said whatever I could to hurt her. 4 hours later she was pronounced dead. Things like this happen everyday but it can be easily stopped. To Write Love on Her Arms is not a suicide prevention organization, what they believe is that love can change a life. That it holds back the darkness. Tell someone you love them today and I guarantee it will put a smile on their face. For more information go on twloha.com. Rescue is possible, Love is the movement.

CHALLENGE RESULTS

Liya: *wipes a couple tears off her face* Hello lovely ladies! This was a very emotional challenge, and I was very moved by all of you. Overall, I was quite impressed with your PSA's. The girl with the best PSA will not only win immunity, but will also have her PSA aired as a commercial for that organization, in addition to signing over a $5,000 donation check. But before I announce the winner, I would like to briefly go over each of your PSAs.


Agyness - Yours was pretty good. It didn't stand out much, but it got the job done.

Anais - You had a very powerful PSA, I teared up a bit for it. The beginning was just a bit too graphic though, remember these will be on national television.

Anne - You did a good job, you provided plenty of information and made a strong impact.

Ashley - I like how you used empathy to your advantage, being in the cage made a powerful statement. It was a little short, but overall good.

Bianca - I like how you took a different route and did something upbeat and cute yet still powerful, it was unique and really stood out.

Candice - Wow, that was very powerful! Destroying a human home was a fantastic idea, it made your issue far more personal to the public.

Carola - You had one of the simplest PSA's, but it still left an impact and made me want to take action, and using a cute little animal always works to your advantage.

Daria - To be honest, I was disappointed with yours. It was very short and vague, you made no powerful statement and gave very little information of the causes, affects, or treatments of your problem.

Gertrud - It was a bit on the long side, but overall I was very impressed. It was a powerful PSA and I like how you emphasized how easily masked your issue is. Well done.

Karlie - You had an interesting and unique issue. I thought your PSA was pretty good, it wasn't a big standout but you did pretty well.

Melodie - Yours was incredibly said, I teared up a little...but that's a good thing, you made one of the most powerful statements.

Nadine - You did a good job, but I feel like you could have put more effort into it. You were one of the most informative, it was just a little emotionally unattached and could have been more powerful.

Sui - I like how you chose a very contemporary issue, bullying has been an increasing problem in society. Like Carola, yours was simple but still made an impact, good job.








Overall, you ladies did a great job and I was pretty impressed! In the end it came down to Candice, Gertrud, and Melodie, but girl who impressed me most was...








































































































































GERTRUD...AND MELODIE! I had too much trouble deciding between the two of you, so I talked it over with the producers and they agreed that both of you could win. So congratulations! Both of your PSAs will appear on national television and $5000 checks have been made to both of your organizations, and on top of that both of you have won immunity.

JUDGING

Liya: Hello lovely ladies! In addition to your PSA's, you also shot print ads for your organizations. As a whole, the PSA's were very strong, so I hope to see some very strong photos as well. First up, as always, is Agyness.


Agyness: This is a very interesting photo. It definitely leaves a strong impact and I do see the theme here, so you are doing a great job of selling your cause. As for the modeling aspect, your skin looks amazing and I love the neck extension, but the angle could be a little better on your face. Great job overall though.

Anais: Your film was fantastic, I had a lot of trouble choosing a photo because every frame as very moving. This is very dark and haunting, and I love all the emotion pouring through. Amazing job.

Anne: This is a decent photo, but I'm not blown away by it. Your expression is a bit disconnected from the guy and unhappy looking which does work for your theme, and overall I do see your cause being portrayed here. I just think you could have gone much further with the emotion and portrayed it more strongly. Also, the angle makes your hips look extremely wide and your neck looks really short.

Ashley: *jaw drops* SPECTACULAR! This is gorgeous, this is probably the most fashion-relevant photo of the bunch yet it still perfectly portrays your theme, not only by posing with an animal, but also by conveying their motto of "I'd rather go naked than wear fur." Your skin looks amazing, you look beautiful, you have a great connection with the camera, and I appreciate the risks of posing with a snake and posing nude. Your best shot to date!

Bianca: Another marvelous photo from you. Going a little more commercial was a risk, but it really works for your organization and makes you stand out. I love your expression, you look like you are getting ready to surprise some underprivileged children with wonderful gifts. Your bone structure and skin also look fantastic.

Candice: This is by far my favorite photo of you to date, one of my favorite photos in the history of this competition in fact. Your body looks amazing, your legs look great and I love the point in your toes, and your face looks so beautiful. You have a very wild expression on your face that works and tells a story, and overall this is just an amazing photo. The only thing that brings this down is that I see EPA more than WWF, it would have conveyed your theme better if you had posed with an animal or gone more animalistic yourself. It does work when you think of it outside of the box though, as if your home was destroyed and you are lost and alone and struggling to make it by, like an animal torn apart by deforestation.

Carola: This is a pretty good photo. I love the expression of concern and care on your face, you look like you care deeply for this animal. You also look very beautiful. I don't have much else to say, this doesn't quite wow me but it's a very solid photo.

Daria: AIDS is a bit difficult to portray in a photo, and though that wouldn't be my first thought when I see this photo, it gets the message across when you know the theme. Your expression is very haunting, it tells a story of struggle and suffering, but also of perseverance and carrying on. This would probably work better for like sex trafficking, but overall good job.

Gertrud: This is very beautiful. Your cheekbone looks amazing as do your eyelashes, and you have a nice profile. There's a strong sense of sadness and despair being conveyed here, so that works great for your theme. My one critique is that I probably wouldn't really see the theme if it weren't for your PSA, but luckily they tie together enough to make this just fit the theme.

Karlie: This is a very interesting photo. The red strokes connect your different poses together and overall convey a theme of transition and connectivity, I see an internal struggle going on here that shows your cause. My one modeling critique would be your neck, it is very strained in one pose and missing in the other, and my one thematic critique is that this photo would be a little more powerful if you had gone further with the emotions. Very good job overall though.

Melodie: If you had rolled down your sleeve and written "love" on your arm or something similar then this would be amazing, but right now it's a little vague. You look absolutely stunning and I do see a lot of sadness and struggle in your expression, but it doesn't immediately make me think of your cause. It works when I think about your theme and it is a gorgeous photo though.

Nadine: Well this definitely shows that last week was just a fluke, this is wonderful! You look so depressed, desolate, hurt, hopeless...yet still hauntingly beautiful at the same time. You are conveying a lot of things here and it definitely leaves an impact, this does work for suicide awareness but it could also work for addiction or abuse, or something similar, which can also lead to suicide.

Sui: I wish you had really screamed or cried or showed some stronger emotion because then this would be perfect. I definitely still see bullying here though, your theme is being conveyed and you do look stunning, I just wish there was a little more emotion. And there could have been a better angle perhaps because this one doesn't work the best for your body, but overall this still works quite well.

[chachachatham2]

I'm going out now so I don't have enough time to post eliminations right now, but I will post them either much later tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Right now I have no idea who to eliminate though anyway, and I might have to factor the challenge into eliminations.

[chachachatham2]

ELIMINATIONS

Liya: Hello lovely ladies! As you may have noticed, this has been one of the longest deliberations ever in this competition. That is because you all have been doing so well, and this week is no exception, so it is making my job extra difficult. Can't one of you do really poorly for once to make my job easy?! Anyway, I had to make a decision because we can't afford another non-elimination, so to make my decision I also had to take the challenge into account to split the point difference. The photoshoot counted for 2/3 of your score, while the challenge counted for 1/3 of your score. Now, onto the elimination. The best five photos will appear as national ad campaigns for those organizations. The first name I am going to call is...





























































































ANAIS! Congratulations, I asked you to step it up this week and you really did, your overall performance in both tasks this week was the best!
























BIANCA! You took a risk this week and it really paid off, you stood out a lot and got your ad!

























ASHLEY! You really earned this ad, it is my favorite one of the bunch!

























CANDICE! You had my favorite photo of the bunch and your PSA rocked, had your photo fit the theme just a bit more then you would have been called first, but you still got the ad!


























NADINE! I'm glad you stepped it up this week, you got the final ad!



























GERTRUD! You didn't need that immunity at all, you did a fantastic job this week!

























MELODIE! It looks like you didn't need your immunity either!


























CAROLA!
























SUI!

























AGYNESS! Don't worry about being called a bit low, you still did a fantastic job this week.

























KARLIE! Same to you, don't worry about your low call-out, you still did a great job too.





























Will Daria and Anne please step forward? Daria, you have one of my favorite looks here. You are full of potential, and full of talent, and you have produced some of my favorite photos at times...but other times, you fall flat, like in the challenge this week, it was by far the worst commercial in the history of this competition. I worry about your consistency. Anne, I am surprised to see you here. You are also one of my favorites in this competition. When you walked in I had my doubts, but you have really grown on me more and more each week. You didn't do a bad job at all this week, but you didn't do as well as everyone else called above you. You are simply here because someone had to be...but you are also here with one of the strongest girls in this competition, which is not good. So who stays?







































































































































































*Flips photo*




































DARIA! You are here by the skin of your teeth, it was literally a 0.5 point margin in your overall score that saved you. Congratulations, you are still in the running.


*tears up a little* *hugs Anne* I'm so, so sorry Anne, I really am very disappointed to see you go. It literally was just a 0.5 point difference in the overall scores that sent you home, and I wish I could have kept you both but sadly I could not. You are going to do great things though I am sure, so don't give up because you are amazing. Goodbye, and good luck. *hugs her again*

This was probably the hardest elimination I have done so far as a host. When I said that everyone is doing too well and I need someone to suck, I wasn't joking! I really wish I could have done another non-elimination, but that would slow the game down too much.

[chachachatham2]

*The girls pull up to a studio where they see a lot of elaborately realistic beach and bedroom setups, along with a few other scenes* *Liya walks over to great them*

Liya: Hello lovely ladies! I feel that it is about time your sexy sides were tested, so this week you will be shooting for none other than GQ! GQ is a men's magazine so obviously you need to be very sexy, but remember to keep it classy and don't go over the top, this isn't porn! You have free range of styling for the most part; swimwear, lingerie, and partial/full nudity are preferred, but as long as you are wearing something revealing/sexy and exuding your sex appeal then it will be fine. Good luck!
