The girls met
Paulina Porizkova who talked to them about doing their best everyday. She said that as a model, each day is an audition with new designers so even if they are having a bad day, they need to be 100% ready. Then they were given a lesson in stage acting. The girls were given a partner and each group was given a sentence. Then each girl was given a specific way to act out her sentence.

Natalie - I have no idea what your talking about.
London and
Fo - You've gotta be kidding me.
Allison and
Tahlia - You need to get out of here.
