Episode 9: “Battle of the Brands”

The final four girls learn how to correctly represent themselves, and use a pie chart that represents what means the most to them, wand what means the least to them (Health, Family, Sex, Career, and Fun). When Destiney and Brandi M. make sex the least important, Heather calls them out for saying she doesn’t think they’re being honest, especially when Destiney picked up on guys on I Love Money, and that Brandi M. made a PSA of being slutty.

Later on, Destiney and Heather argue and Destiney cries because she doesn’t like Heather, who she thought was her friend, accusing her of being a liar. Heather now doesn’t trust any of the other girls. The girls learn their next challenge is to brand themselves by creating an original t-shirt for designer Christian Audigier. Destiney feels this challenge is right up her alley and makes her shirt with a flying guitar on it, Brandi M. makes her shirt with an octopus on it to show how much she’s grown as a person, Lacey makes her shirt about the environment, and Heather puts her face on her shirt to show how much she’s changed since then. Heather’s assistant’s computer crashes and barely had enough time to finish the design.

Before the judging, Lacey tries to get Heather to talk with her and the other girls, but Heather says she’s feels the other girls are all against her. At judging, the judges are Christian Audigier, and Johnny Hallyday. Sharon narrows it down to Destiney and Brandi M.’s designs. In the end, she picks Destiney’s and her design will be sold as a t-shirt worldwide. Back at the house, Heather cries on the phone to her friend and says she feels like quitting, but with her friend’s cheering, Heather decides to stay. Before elimination, Heather speaks to Sharon and admits Brandi M. lied about being allergic to Megan’s dog earlier, because she hates Megan. Sharon calls in the other girls and discusses their honesty and each girl comes clean and talks about their issue with Heather.

At elimination, Heather, Lacey, and Brandi M. are automatically called down to the carpet. Sharon discusses the fight going on with the girls and Heather explains she was just speaking her mind, and the judges tell her sometimes she needs to shut it. Lacey and Heather scream at each other and Heather accuses her of being fake. Sharon decides to put Heather out of her misery and expels her for her emotional problems, but says it wasn’t easy, as she felt Heather was really improving.
