They're off and running
For the photo shoot the girls head to Santa Anita Park, where the legend of Seabiscuit, the short horse who was the long shot, was born. They get to model with a horse, a jockey, long extensions, and no top. The nakedness wasn't an issue at all, but other issues abounded.

Several girls couldn't smeyes to save their lives, but when it came down to the bottom two, it wasn't so much a case of not smiling with the eyes, it was a case of self-sabotage. Bianca and Courtney were both frustrated at the shoot and it showed in their final pictures. But even though she was one of the bottom two for the second week running, Bianca got to stay. The adorable Courtney finally let her broken foot get to her and she limped off stage for good. Curses!

High, or should we say, lowlights

The eyes have it
Jennifer lost the full range of motion in her left eye and for some reason, she thinks that no one is going to notice that. But of course, five minutes at Wilhelmina and the boys noticed it. Well, everyone noticed it. Frankly, we didn't see it and we're super freaky about eyes AND teeth. Don't get us started! So she must be doing something right.

And the miss non-congeniality award goes to…
Okay -- no one likes Bianca. She's made zero friends at the photo shoots and now she's picking fights with the girls at the house. She puts dirty dishes in a steaming dishwasher, points out imperceptible schmutz on the clean dishes, and seems happy to bitch about everything. It's uncomfortable, to say the least.

Most cringe-worthy moment
How uncomfortable was it when Rachel walked into Wilheminia, announcing that she does musical theater, but she couldn't come up with one...single...lyric? She probably wanted to sink into the floor, and so did we. Then she followed up what catastrophe with a horrible runway walk and we just had to take a potty break.

Great quotes—modeliciousness

• "I felt like she flatlined, I felt like there wasn't a lot there and she felt a little bit boring." Sean Patterson, president of Wilhemina, on Rachel when he releases her from the competition.
  
• "I just like nudity." Laura
  
• "Smeyes, boo." Tyra to Miss J whey he tries his hand at smeyesing

The harsh online critics speak
We’ve been scanning the Internet, looking for news to share with you about Cycle 13 and while the whole season is being kept pretty tightly under wraps, one thing we continue to see over and over again from viewer feedback is that this season is being filmed for nothing because even if the models are big on talent, they are short in stature. According to Jess1 in a recent comment on E! Online, "These girls can only get as far as this competition because when they get to the real fashion world, the designers won't even look at them because they are too short. Tyra is just setting them up for failure."

Ouch! Can that be true? These girls do look pretty but what if we stood them up next to other models who would tower over them? Will they just look silly? Is Tyra just doing this as a stunt and not to launch a nice, petite girl’s dream modeling career? Tell us here in OUR feedback!
