Tyra

[to Brittany at judging] I got a word back that none of those clients that you saw said they wanted to book you. Not one of them, which is strange to me because you take some of the strongest pictures.

Tyra

[to Brittany at judging] I think you're a very good example of it's not just about being pretty and having pretty pictures but there might have been an energy or personality thing that didn't click with the designers.

Tyra

[to Dionne and Brittany in the bottom two] Will Dionne and Brittany please step forward. I only have two photos in my hands and those two photos are of the same girl. I will only call one name and the girl that I do not call must immediately return to the hotel, pack her belongings and go home. Brittany, you've taken some of the strongest pictures but this week you went on go-sees and not one of those clients that you saw said that they would book you. All the pretty pictures, it's great but if you can't get hired you don't exist in the world of modeling. Dionne your pictures have been nice. By far not as strong as Brittany's and this week I happen to know why. You have to be coached so, so, so much as if this is week one of America's Next Top Model. So who goes home? The girl who needs no coaching but can't book a job or the girl what needs so much coaching but the clients here in Sydney like her. [flips over Dionne's photo] Dionne. [Dionne comes to collect her photo]

Tyra

[to Natasha and Dionne in the bottom two] Dionne, you started off rough and then you got better and better but the judges feel like your ascent is not like this... [smooth ascent demonstration] They feel it is like this... [rough ascent demonstration] ...and when I asked who has the most Top Model potential, you're the only one that did not say yourself and that worries the judges because if the path is rocky and you don't believe in yourself, who's going to believe in you? And then we have Natasha. The girl who started off awful. We saw this beautiful face and great personality but couldn't capture it on film but she continued to get better and better and better and then this week comes, you come down with a cold and your photo shoot was dreadful. It was worse than your first two photoshoots and the judges go this "Sick Thing" is the oldest Top Model story and we're over it and on top of that, we asked every single girl here who had the least potential and they all said you. Is there something about Natasha she's hiding?There's got to be a reason why those girls have bounded against you. [flips over Natasha's photo] Natasha and the judges think maybe they're just jealous. [Jaslene looks stunned, Renee looks peeved, Natasha does not receive a hug back from Dionne, Natasha goes to collect her photo] This competition is not about doing one bad photoshoot and getting sent home. We looked at your body of work and looked at Dionne's body of work and we feel that your body of work is stronger than Dionne's and that's why you stand before me but I have to be hard with you and say "I don't care if you're sick. I don't care if you have a cold. I don't care if you have a flu." This final three and there's no more second chances when it comes to that.

Tyra

[to Natasha, Renee and Jaslene] The two finalists will go to a Seventeen Magazine photoshoot and tomorrow they'll face off in a Sass and Bide fashion show. The girl's name I do not call will pack her bags and leave.

Tyra

[to Mila] You're such a beautiful girl but it's a pretty girl just sitting there. That's not what models get paid to do.

Tyra

[to Heather and Jenah in the bottom two] Both of you girls take probably the strongest photos out of all of the five girls in this room right now. Both how you girls have something when it comes to communication. Not the strongest communicators. With you Heather. [Heather looks worried] If you're so fantastic to us judges and on photoshoots but you can't make it to a "go see it's nearly impossible for you to book a job. Where does Heather stand in this industry? As beautiful as you are standing in front of me, obviously that's not enough and then we have Jenah. Amazing photos but an attitude that turns off the judges. [Jenah nods] So who goes to Beijing? [flips over Jenah's photo] Jenah. [Jenah hugs Heather before coming to collect her photo]

Tyra

[to Dominique at judging about her photoshoot] Your film to me looked like the newspaper models. Like you know, the sale is coming on Sunday. You have a cockiness that you need to pull into your photos because right now I don't see all that swagger.

Tyra

[flips over Lauren's photo] Lauren. [Lauren comes down to collect her photo] Shocked that you were called first? That's the judges' favorite picture this week. You should be proud of yourself.
