 * Tensions are high and Laren thinks that Maryan told the other girls what her thoughts were and gets mad at her
 * Coedy confesses that she overheard them speak and told Raelyn about it - so now everyone thinks of Raelyn as the snitch
 * Challenge: Olympian athlete Ryan Lochte comes to the girls' home to teach them about fitness and makes them go through a boot camp and to complete an underwater photo challenge at the end of it
 * Winner: Shanae | Prize: A night out in Rein with Ryan, his Olympian friends, other male models and two other girls in the house (although she isn't close with anyone in the house, she picks Courtenay and Ciara who stay out of the drama in the house; Ciara is feeling unwell and couldn't complete the challenge either so she felt bad and eventually gave her spot up to McKensey)
 * Shanae, Courtenay and McKensey bond and McKensey decides that it's a good idea to bring some of Ryan's friends back to the model house

 * Laren: One of the best shots of the week
 * McKensey: Struggled during the shoot also, and hair was covering half of face in final photo

 * Team 2: Coedy, Kelsey, McKensey
 * Team 3: Laren, Courtenay, Maryan, Raelyn
 * Coedy picks who she thinks are the worst girls left in the competition who don't look like her so that she can stand out
 * Many girls impress but McKenna tries to over shine the other girls and blames them for picking out the wrong shoe for her and telling her that her make up looked good for the casting (it was too much)
 * It is revealed that team 1 did the poorest, collectively, and they had to vote themselves as to who in the team should go home

 * Kel: Rocked the shoot and she was a natural at it
 * Maryan: She struggled with the shoot and had few usable shots - she didn't understand pin up and was a bit shy to bare so much skin
 * Courtenay: Was awkward during the shoot - took a while to warm up but got an amazing shot in the end
 * Laren: A gorgeous, effortless shot
 * McKensey: The judges loved her shot and thought she looked very modelesque while expecting her to look very hoochie
 * Kelsey: Judges expected a lot more from her - expression was lacklustre
 * Shanae: She looked great in the photo but it wasn't the best - very average
 * Raelyn: Looked average in the shot as well - she "was coasting"
 * Laren is concerned that she hasn't won best photo yet - although she has been second place throughout the entire competition week to week

 * Photo Shoot: Swamp Creatures
 * Best Photo: Shanae
 * Photographer: Henryk Lobaczewski
 * Coedy: Huge fan of her shot - one of the best - she keeps improving week to week and always impresses and tries her hardest. Judges love her positive attitude!
 * Kel: Judges liked her challenge shot better than her photo shoot - she needed to work on giving a wider range of expressions
 * Maryan: She looked very haunting but needed more variety in her face
 * Courtenay: Looked absolutely stunning in the shot and had so much confidence - she was really stepping up her game - the shoot was made for her
 * Laren: The judges found her shot uninspiring and lacked the certain punch that she had in previous weeks
 * McKensey: The judges thought she struggled this week and failed to meet the brief - they expected a whole lot more from her
 * Shanae: A huge step up from shots before - she was improving and her film was great - she didn't just "luck" into it and it wasn't the styling either
 * Raelyn: Judges didn't hate nor love her shot - thought it was okay but is that enough to stay in the competition?
 * After doing so well in photo shoot for the past four weeks and then suddenly dropping to the bottom, Laren was devastated and contemplated quitting altogether
 * Girls gave her a pep talk and support and said that she would do well
 * Shanae celebrates best photo with the girls and thinks the other girls see her as competition now
 * Laren and Maryan don't think Shanae is competition
 * Challenge: Lookbook photo challenge for Joe Fresh
 * Winner: Laren
 * Prize: All-inclusive trip to New York to meet Joe Mimran plus $1,000 in cash

 * Shanae also did very well and was close to winning

 * Kel: Judges thought she delivered the best shot since her time here
 * Maryan: She looked timid in the shot but had a strong pose
 * Courtenay: A gorgeous shot
 * Laren: Judges loved her shot too - hard to fault and rank the girls when all did so well
 * McKensey: She did well but the judges weren't sure about her potential against the other girls left in the competition
 * Shanae: Still working it from head to toe - judges loved her growth
 * Girls were collectively shocked to see McKensey go - they thought she would be a dark horse
 * Maryan starts doubting her place in the competition as she was in the bottom two last week
 * Laren makes it her goal to have first call out and best photo this week
 * Coedy and Courtenay start to bond over their weird antics and editorial poses - they teach each other tricks

 * The girls get a surprise from La Isla Bonita's Waxing Studio, where the girls all learn that they'll be receiving Brazilian waxes in prep for the week
 * Immediately after, they are whisked away to their challenge
 * Challenge: The girls shoot a commercial for new Durex lubricants with a male model. Coedy and Courtenay are extremely nervous as both of them admit to being virgins and never even kissing a guy. Coedy admits to never having felt as awkward during the competition as she did during the challenge. Courtenay eventually got out of her shell and was pleased by her performance by the end of it. The male model complimented Courtenay and said she was a quick learner.
 * Winner: Maryan
 * Prize: She will get to be the new face of the campaign and a brand ambassador for Durex
 * People were surprised to see this sexual but sensual side of Maryan and praised her for her challenge win

 * Photo Shoot: La Perla lingerie shoot with male models
 * Best Photo: Laren
 * Photographer: Jez Smith
 * Judging & Elimination | Guest Judge: Josephine Skriver
 * Coedy: Judges continue to praise her on her improvement, however she looked very awkward in the lingerie. She was confident with her body but didn't really know how to interact with the male model in the shared shot.
 * Kel: Judges commended her for trying to get through the day but she admitted that the pressure was just too much. Her photo was probably her weakest during the entire competition and weakest out of the remaining girls. There were limited shots to choose from since she had to leave the set early.
 * Maryan: Looked stunning in the shot and was commended for her work in the commercial challenge
 * Courtenay: Judges thought she needed to work on toning her body more, but liked that she took risks and stepped outside her comfort zone
 * Laren: Hands down, her best shot in the competition - Laren was finally happy to have received such universal praise and first call out/best photo!
 * Shanae: Borderline skanky, but the judges loved her confidence and spunky attitude; wanted to see what else she could do
 * The girls are shocked by Kel's departure - most of them thinking that she had this in the bag
 * The next morning, the girls are awoken by a loud scream and crackle of thunder
 * It turns out, their house had been converted into a mock haunted house for Halloween

 * Courtenay cries the most because it's her first time living on her own and it was so close to dad's anniversary date of his passing

 * Best Photo: Courtenay
 * Photographer: Carter Smith


 * At 4 a.m., the girls get ready to take their mothers back to the airport, but they are surprised to see all of the judges there at home with them in the living room as well with their own luggages - they are told that the top 5 girls will be headed to London!


 * Challenge: Go-sees with 4 designers (Thomas Tait, Marta Jakubowski, Ostwald Helgason, Moeva Swimwear) - girls have 2.5 hours to complete all go-sees and make it back to Elite Model Management in London before time is up - if they are late, they are disqualified

 * Courtenay: Gorgeous, campaign-worthy shot
 * Laren: Strikes again with a gorgeous and effortless photo; very good go-sees results
