America's Next Top Model, Cycle 16/Francesco Carrozzini

First Air Date: March 16, 2011

Returning from panel, Alexandria's first call-out stirred controversy, because the other girls felt that she was undeserving for her rash behavior at the previous photo shoot. On the other hand, Alexandria herself vowed to improve her perceived bad attitude.

Miss J. challenged the girls to walk for a Geoffrey Mac fashion show on a runway that was set ablaze. During hair and makeup, Molly finally had her weave taken out, much to her delight. Alexandria, Brittani and Dalya all excelled at the show, and were named as the top three, but it was Dalya who won the challenge, and two of Geoffrey’s pieces. Conversely, Hannah, Kasia and Sara were told that they performed the worst in the challenge, and as punishment, they had to walk home. Kasia took the journey back to the house as an opportunity to improve on her walk, and the girls held an impromptu practice session on the way home.

Next, the girls learned that instead of a photo shoot, this week they would be filming a commercial for a fictitious Fierce Roast coffee in pairs, with a retro 60's-inspired theme, with Francesco Carrozzini as their director. Sara was immediately uncomfortable, as the idea of suppressed women behaving sexually for their own gain went against her feminist beliefs. Alexandria again caused problems on set, when Francesco and Jay Manuel felt that she was trying to dictate her and Brittani’s shoot.

At panel, the tandem of Kasia and Jaclyn received praise, while Hannah, Dalya and Monique also received positive feedback. Sara and Brittani’s performance disappointed the judges and though Alexandria shot a decent commercial, when told that the director was disappointed with her behavior on set, she tried to make excuses, upsetting the judges further.

Kasia received first call out for her strong commercial, while Alexandria and Sara were called forward as the bottom two. Alexandria was lambasted for being a know-it-all, with a bad attitude, and Sara for still not living up to her potential. After a final warning from Tyra to change her attitude, Alexandria was kept in the competition, and Sara was sent home.
