AimzsterAnd there were four

The 9th episode of Australia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 had the 4 remaining girls facing the media, during which Demelza shone, Sam was the charming ditz, Caris was a stunned rabbit and Alex was a contradicting liar.
Charlotte & Ian arrived at the model HQ pretending to be journalists on the red carpet, asking questions about the issues in Tibet & Wall Street, and the child labour in China – just the usual run-of-the-mill questions reporters love asking celebrities, mostly for entertainment’s sake while some honestly think celebrities can give us an insightful thought into such heavy-weight issues.
Demelza talked a mile a minute about…nothing really, like she’s answering to pageant questions. But, like beauty pageants, her composure wowed the judges. I’m glad I’m not the only one to think Caris a stunned rabbit as she ummed and ahhed her way behind glasses which I’m sure are hiding those inevitable Caris tears. Sam looked like she was in fairyland and she could see nothing but pink cotton candies. Her ‘I don’t know’ and ‘I’m not sure’ didn’t endear her to Charlotte & Ian but at least she had sense enough to say no when the two suggested she advertise Demelza’s Delicious Doughnuts after asking her about eating healthily. Which is more than I can say for Alex who condemned slave labour yet had no qualms buying fake handbags, just as long as ‘they look real’, then jumping up and down to promote the DDDs. As if that wasn’t enough, she then went on to confess that Demelza was the fattest & bitchiest girl in the house to which Demelza, the epitome of innocence and sugar-sweetness, confronted her about.
The 2nd segment had the girls up for a one-on-one interview with various magazine journalists. One described Caris as ‘appealing and entertaining as going to the dentist to get my molars pulled out’. Heh. I think I’ve found my soulmate. Alex showed just how bad a liar she could be as a top model when, questioned about her fake lips, she said that her lip was done on the advice of the judges. The reporters deemed her icy and defensive and I thought she looked like she was being interrogated in a police station. And I hope, if she ever becomes a famous model, she would have come up with a better excuse for her lips than ‘the judges made me do it’. Sam was loved by absolutely everyone – gone was the hesitant, fa-la-la ditz as she charmed the reporters with her candid and flirtatious manner – which Jonathan tells us, is a must when confronting the media. Demelza seemed ‘real’, willing to talk about serious personal matters that the female reporters were torn between hugging her and thinking she could be in the running for an Oscar.
Unsurprisingly, Sam won and took Demelza to the launch of Puma as the 2 losers donned an unflattering, school uniform-like pink habits, serving the winners. There was also an interview with Nova 96.9’s Merrick & Rosso and Kate Ritchie which was so boring, I saw no point in showing it.
The photo shoot had the girls working with Paul who was very specific and unconventional in his instructions that he alarmed some of the girls. Demelza, when told to catch butterflies and fairies and pretend to be listening to one, was uncomfortable & stiff. Sam was an African bird, mounting a golden wall? Paul thought she was committed and took directions quickly, while he would readily book Caris as she posed as if looking for nits in her bird’s nest of a hair. Alex, after freaking out in the dressing room, seeing the girls’ expressions when they came back from their shoots, did the best. Paul said she kicked ass as she shooed away flies while Alex Perry liked her photo out of any of her photos to date.
As the judges deliberated, I was convinced Caris & Demelza would be in the bottom 2 with Caris eliminated. But my jaw dropped when Demelza was called out first with Alex & Caris in the bottom 2. The judges were sick of Alex’s excuses and felt she wasn’t taking their advice on board. Eh? What advice? To make her stiff upper lip look more real? But I guess they weren’t as critical of Alex’s fake lips as they were of Caris literally taking ‘a model must be a blank canvas’ literally and so she was eliminated.
Quote of the episode : “She can’t feel it” – Charlotte to Ian when Ian told Alex she had cinnamon on her lips.

Will fans ever forget Demelza's bullying?
