A bit of a bland missive from Jodhi Mail central this week, mostly consisting of tears and sooks and nothing much else.

The girls were forced to "face their fears" in a live modelling 'performance' featuring their worst phobias, which led to the extremely entertaining sequence in which Leiden had a total meltdown over her phobia: Edward Scissorhands. Seeing Jonathon Pease patting her on the back while she wheezed and sobbed, saying, "Don't worry, babe, he's not here", was the highlight of the night.

It was mostly downhill from there...

 

Other highlights included the world's most "friendly parrot" sitting on Rebecca's arm looking a little bemused as to why she was bawling at his presence, and, er, that's it.

Beautiful but boring Emma went home. Next!

However, having viewed Episode Four, I can confirm that the best is yet to come - Ep 4 takes the AusNTM tears and tantrums template to a whole new stratosphere, and we get to see Charlotte crack the whip, which I always enjoy.

Tune in next week, then!

Demelza, when Ian Thorpe was loitering outside Model House in a speedboat: "I was, like, freaking out. I couldn't believe that, like, Ian Thorpe was on a boat outside our house, it was, like, so weird."

Caris, upon hearing about the swimming challenge: "I don't actually like water on my face, unless I put it there myself."

Jamie, with her perma-sunny expression: "At the moment, I don't think Caris is mentally stable!"

Leiden, in hysterical tears about Edward Scissorhands: "Is he in the room?!"

Alyce, on the phone to her boyfriend after forcing Demelza to cough up $175 so Alyce could stylebite her in the shoe store: "I need money, I need more money! I just... need more money! We go through it heaps quick. More money!"
