Tears and Emotion

Original airdate: June 16, 2009

At the start of the week, the girls are met by Opera singer, Sharon Zhai, singing in their backyard, who gives them a Sarah Mail. The girls immediately think it is a performing arts lesson, some even think that they have to sing opera.

The Sarah mail sends the girls to the National Institute of Dramatic Arts and the girls are greeted by Jonathan and Mark Gaal, who is an artistic associate and Ana Maria Bella, a tutor and previous student at NIDA. The girls are put through a range of acting challenges including controlling laughter and delivering a eulogy at a funeral.

The next day, a puppet show was performed for the girls, then one of the puppets hand the girls a Sarah Mail preparing them for their challenge.

Then, the girls meet at Ogilvy and are met by Jonathan and commercial director, Adrian Haywood. Jonathan reveals to the girls that are auditioning to feature in a nation-wide Telstra commercial. The girls pair up and audition for Jonathan and Adrian. Tahnee excels and lands the main role in the commercial and is joined by Franky and Clare, but Adrian reveals that Clare was too prissy and might be replaced by Cassi if she doesn’t perform well on the day of the commercial. It was also revealed that the losers, Adele and Cassi, would be assistances on the day.

The following day, the girls arrive at set of the commercial and film it perfectly. Despite feeling nervous about performing, Chantal Walker, a Telstra representative, was so impressed with Clare from the start, that Adrian told her that she would remain in the rest of the commercial. While Adele and Cassi slaved away doing jobs as crew members, Tahnee, Clare and Franky enjoyed the experience of filming a national commercial.

At Fox Studios, the girls posed with Fords from different decades, replicating different style icons. Sarah revealed that she would watch all of the girls on the shoot and also revealed that there were only four Etihad tickets to their International destination, London. They portrayed:

Contestant Vehicle Portrayal
Adele Model T Greta Garbo
Cassi Fiesta Victoria Beckham
Clare Twiggy
Franky Grace Jones
Tahnee Elizabeth Taylor

Before elimination, Cassi reveals that she no longer wants to be in the competition and will tell the judges that she wants to quit. This gets the other girls excited as that means the other girls get to go to London. At elimination, Cassi did not tell the judges she wanted to leave and when she told the other girls in the waiting room, Adele broke down at the idea that she might not make it overseas and Franky and Tahnee yell at Cassi for lying and not wanting to be here. Tahnee and Clare excel but Franky and Adele land on the bottom two. Adele is saved for the second time, and Franky was asked to pack her bags and head home.
