STM2 Episode 1 - 'Your Heart Filled the Sea'

After a montage, the contestants are introduced one by one.
[IRENE *C*]: My name is Irene Chen, I'm 19 years old, and I study information technology at UC Merced.

[IRENE *C*]: I've always been very interested in fashion and styling, and so I thought, "Why not try applying to this show and see where it goes?" If I were to be honest, I'm only studying IT because of my parents; it's just not something I'm super excited about, you know? I don't actually know what I want to do with my life, frankly.

[IRENE *C*]: Perhaps trying something out of my comfort zone will help me figure that out.

[ALIZA *C*]: Hey, world! I'm Aliza, I'm 15, and I'm here to be Stanloona's Top Model!

[ALIZA *C*]: I grew up in New York, but since my dad's in the military we've had to move around quite a bit. Currently, I live all the way in Cuba!

[ALIZA *C*]: Having to move so frequently stunted my social skills a little bit, and with my age I'm scared not a lot of people will take me seriously. But, modeling is something I know I'm passionate about, so get ready for me!

The girls meet up, but realize there are only seven.
[KATENKA *C*]: The moment I saw the girls, the first thing I noticed was how few we were.

[KATENKA]: I counted, and there's only seven of us? Didn't last season have, like, twice our amount?

[ISABELLE]: That is pretty strange, mate... Do you think we'll even get to 5 episodes with our amount?

[TATIANA]: I don't mind.

[NEELE]: Yeah! It's more screen time for us, right?

[ISABELLE]: I guess that's one way of looking at it.

[ISABELLE *C*]: Being 31, I think I definitely have the most maturity out of the other birds here.

[ISABELLE *C*]: I've regretfully missed multiple offers to launch my modeling career, so this show is sort of my last chance. With 7 contestants, that's just less competition to beat, no? I look forward to seeing how these girls perform.

[KATENKA]: So where are you all from?

[NEELE]: Tatiana and I are from the Netherlands! We applied to this show together, actually!

[ISABELLE]: I reckon that must be fun, then, getting accepted with your girl!

[TATIANA]: Yeah, totally! You should've seen our reactions when we found out we both got in!

[TATIANA *C*]: Neele and I are both aware that this is a competition, and in a competition only one can win. But, until then, we're an absolute unit! The show might have crown a double winner even! At least, that's what we're hoping.

[NEELE *C*]: I'm so stoked to be going into this journey with Tati! We're both really competitive people, though, but I don't think it'll be too bad!

[ISABELLE]: Say, that girl over there's been standing all on her lonesome. Should we try to go talk to her?

[NEELE]: If she really wants to come to us, then she'll come. What's the point in bothering?

[ISABELLE]: Naur, maybe she needs someone to talk to.

[ISABELLE *C*]: I know what it's like to feel left out. Growing up in a majority White town, I've been picked on and ostracized just because I didn't look like everyone else. It took me some time to unlearn the prejudice in me, but I think I've been doing a good job.

[ISABELLE]: I'm going to try and talk to her.

[KATENKA]: Oh, alright..

[PANNINGUAQ *C*]: So, I was just minding my own business, right? And all of a sudden this woman comes and tries to strike up a conversation. I was just like, "Seriously? Can't a girl just coast through the competition without having speak to anyone?"

[ISABELLE]: Hello.. We noticed you were just hanging out on your own and was wondering if you wanted to join us? I'm Isabelle.

[PANNINGUAQ]: Hey, thanks for your offer, but I'm fine on my own.

[ISABELLE]: Are you sure? This may be a competition, but it won't hurt to make a few friends!

[PANNINGUAQ]: Erm.. I'm good. Thank you.

[ISABELLE]: Okay, don't say I didn't ask!

 [DIRECTOR *C]: Did you appreciate Isabelle reaching out at least?

[PANNINGUAQ *C*]: Sure, I guess. But, I'm really not super good with people. Isabelle genuinely seems like a nice person but, I'm just not ready to take that step yet.

In walks Ena Faulker, one of the judges and mentors for the season.
[IRENE *C*]: Once we were wondering when anyone was gonna come, we were met by none other than Ena! I've seen her everywhere in magazines and store ads, so it's very surreal seeing the Ena Faulker in person.

[ENA]: Hey girls! If you don't know me already which, how? But, if you don't know me already, then I'm Ena Faulker, former Disney star turned supermodel, and I'm going to be one of your mentors and judges for this season!

[ALIZA *C*]: I remember watching Ena when I was growing up, it definitely gave me some fond memories. So, I'm really excited to work with her! It feels like a dream, for real.

[ENA]: Now, before we get started, I'm going to address the elephant in the room. You might've noticed there's only seven of y'all! And no, that's not it. You're actually half of a cast of 14, the other half will be competing separately in Vancouver for this first week. Once this first week is done, you'll all meet each other in Toronto where the real competition begins.

[PANNINGUAQ *C*]: I was a bit upset when I heard there were going to be 7 more girls to have to meet. It's already challenging enough trying to deal with this amount!

Ena introduces the challenge.
[ENA]: I think you've been given enough time to be acquainted with one another already, so let's get into today's challenge!

[ENA]: So as you may know, having a social media presence is a very important aspect to becoming a model, and so today's challenge will be all about that!

 [DIRECTOR *C]: Do you use social media a lot?

[PANNINGUAQ *C*]: Do you think where I live has a strong social media presence?

[ENA]: So, we are here at some park, and you'll be split into groups where you have to make content designed for a specific media type. We've divided the groups as so:

[ENA]: Irene and Katenka, you'll be making an Instagram lookbook post,

[ENA]: Aliza and Isabelle, you'll be making a short 30-second YouTube video showcasing your looks,

[ENA]: which leaves Neele, Tatiana, and Panninguaq as our trio! You'll be making an outfit change TikTok.

[NEELE *C*]: I'm so happy that Tatiana and I are in the same group, we just mesh together so well! Though, I'm a bit worried about the other girl... when Isabelle tried talking to her, she just brushed her off! That's just giving superiority complex to me, and we do not like it!

[ENA]: If you look behind you, you'll see a wardrobe provided to us courtesy of ASOS, and you're free to style yourself however you please! You also have the entire park to yourself, so really there's a lot of freedom you have with this challenge, so I'm expecting high quality results!

[ENA]: With all that said, you'll have an hour to make your posts.

[ENA]: So go forth! Make mama proud!

Challenge starts.
[ALIZA]: I think we should go for matching looks.

[ISABELLE]: Good idea, mate!

[ALIZA *C*]: Never in my life have I thought I'd be working with someone more than twice my age! Despite the huge age gap, I think Isabelle and I work very well together, and I hope we can make some magic.

[ISABELLE]: Well, it is spring time after all, so maybe we can go for some floral patterns.

[ALIZA]: Ooh, that'd be good!

[KATENKA *C*]: Working with Irene has been good so far. We have similar styles, so we found fits very quickly.

[KATENKA]: This place is really pretty! I think it'd be perfect!

[IRENE]: Hmm.. I want to look around and see all our options first. Is that okay?

[KATENKA]: Alright..

Katenka and Irene walk around, only to return to their original spot.
[IRENE]: I think this place is good. Let's shoot here.

[KATENKA]: Girl.. we literally just ended up right where we started.

[IRENE *C*]: I'll be the first to admit that I'm a massive perfectionist. It's something I've been trying to get over, but it comes out sometimes. I hope Katenka doesn't hate me too much for it...

[IRENE *C*]: If anything, we got a cardio workout out of it!

[KATENKA]: What's the time, even?

[KATENKA]: Okay, we seriously need to get going, we just wasted half an hour walking in circles. I can take photos of you right now.

[IRENE]: Alright, I trust you.

Cut to Panninguaq's group filming their TikTok. Panninguaq is recording the other two.
[TATIANA]: How's it turning out, girl?

[PANNINGUAQ]: ...

[TATIANA]: Panninguaq? How's it turning out?

[PANNINGUAQ]: ...

[NEELE]: Earth to girl! Are you, like, deaf or something?

[TATIANA]: You gotta work with us, Panninguaq. We want to win this too.

[PANNINGUAQ]: ...

[NEELE]: Are you being for real?

[NEELE *C*]: Who does that girl think she is? I'm so over her!

'' [DIRECTOR *C*]: Why do you think you have a hard time working with others?

[PANNINGUAQ *C*]: ... They can start by learning my name.

Cut to Isabelle and Aliza working on their thing.
[ALIZA *C*]: So, since Isabelle and I got assigned the YouTube short, we wanted to do a thing where we walk pass each other and then show off our looks.

[ALIZA *C*]: It's a pretty simple idea and we've been doing good so far.

[ALIZA]: How is it turning out?

[ALIZA *C*]: The only problem is...

[ALIZA]: Girl, how is it so shaky?

[ALIZA *C*]: Isabelle's not the most tech-savvy partner ever.

[ISABELLE *C*]: Oy, give me a break! I didn't grow up with all these gadgets!

[ISABELLE]: Saurry about that, mate, I guess we'll have to redo it.

[ISABELLE *C*]: I am a bit nervous now, I would feel bad if I were to drag Aliza down.

[ENA]: Time's up, girls! Come here and show me what you got!

Ena judges the girls' performances.
[ENA]: Alright, we'll just start in the way you're standing, so Neele, your group's up first!

[ENA]: I love how you tried to play with the beat and were very creative with the transitions! Most of them were very rough, though, which brings down the product a little. But, good effort nonetheless!

[NEELE *C*]: No! We had the vision! That girl just had to go in and sabotage us! What the fuck is her problem?

[ENA]: Let's move on to Aliza and Isabelle.

[ENA]: I have the same comments as Neele's groups. I can see the vision, but it could be executed a little better. Though, maybe I can convince myself that the shakiness is a stylistic choice, or something.

[ENA]: Lastly, we have Irene and Katenka.

[ENA]: I think you two had the more different media form, because rather than a video you had to take photos. But, either way, I think you executed it quite well! The location choice is stunning, and I love your outfit concepts! What I do wish, though, was maybe if you could take a few photos together. It does seem weird with the two of you separate.

[ENA]: With all that said, the winner of this challenge will get to keep their outfits, as well as win a $250 ASOS gift card! And, I think it's pretty obvious who the winner is...

[ENA]: Congratulations, Irene and Katenka!

[KATENKA *C*]: I'm so happy that we won! I think maybe this shows to the other girls that Irene and I are a threat and not to be trifled with!

Irene feels a bit down after the challenge.
[ISABELLE]: What's wrong, mate? You're looking quite bugged, there.

[IRENE]: I guess, I'm just a bit down that Katenka and I didn't do too well in the challenge.

[ISABELLE]: But didn't you literally win? What's there to be down about?

[IRENE]: I mean, yeah, and I'm not trying to downplay that. But, I guess what Ena told us really stuck with me. If only we had thought to take a couple of photos together, it would've been perfect!

[IRENE *C*]: When I said I was a perfectionist, I really meant it. I have a hard time accepting criticism, and I'm very prone to taking things to heart. I'm aware of it all. I mean, I literally see a therapist for it.

[IRENE *C*]: It's a mindset I've been battling, but this pressure of living a completely new life really is making that a bit hard.

[ISABELLE]: Mate, you can't put yourself down like that. Sure, there are things you both can improve on, but instead of focusing on that, focus on the fact that you've won the first challenge of the season ever!

[ISABELLE]: I reckon that would definitely set the scene for the rest of your journey, don't you think?

[IRENE]: I guess that's one way of looking at it.

[ISABELLE *C*]: I see a bit of myself in Irene sometimes. Since we're both daughters of Chinese immigrants, we share a lot of experiences together.

[ISABELLE *C*]: Given our age gap, I almost feel a bit protective of her like a mother. Which is why I mean this in the most loving way possible, but the modeling industry will absolutely crush her if she continues to think like this.

[ISABELLE *C*]: I say that out of a place of concern, and I hope I can help her get over her worries throughout the show.

Neele rants to Tatiana about the challenge, only for Panninguaq to overhear.
[NEELE]: Girl, I'm telling you, we could have won the challenge if it weren't for her! She practically sabotaged us! How are you just going to be closed off like a fucking clam!

[NEELE *C*]: No, I'm so fucking mad right now! Tati and I clearly got sabotaged, and y'all aren't doing anything about it!

[TATIANA]: I wonder what her problem even is, like don't you need to, like, network and work with clients and whatnot? How is she going to do that if she can't even talk to us.

[NEELE]: She's just so immature! I really want to give her a piece of my mind.

[TATIANA]: It's just the first week, though, I don't think it'd be smart to start shit right away. We might be painted to look like the villains, girl.

[NEELE]: Ugh, you're right. But, trust! I will go off on that bitch one day!

 [DIRECTOR *C*]: What was going through your mind when you overhead them?

[PANNINGUAQ *C*]: They can talk shit about me all they want, but they will never understand the things I went through. I have my reasons for reserving myself, and I will open up when I'm ready. Period.

A Hee Jin Alert pops up, and the girls wonder what awaits them in the next day.
[TATIANA]: Oh look! One of those Hee Jin alerts!

[NEELE], [TATIANA]: HEE JIN ALERT! COME ON DOWN GIRLS!

[TATIANA]: Let's see what it says.

[TATIANA]: "'Your heart filled with the sea, it feels like I can hear a blue sound from it.' Your first photoshoot is tomorrow, think about the concept, and be prepared. Good luck. Hee Jin"

[KATENKA *C*]: The Hee Jin Alert was pretty confusing. I'm assuming the first two lines are some sort of hints for what the photoshoot concept would be, but that itself is pretty strange...

[KATENKA]: What do you think it could be, girls?

[ALIZA]: It has something to do with the sea, I'm sure.

[TATIANA]: Well, whatever it is, we better go to bed early so we can wake up feeling refreshed for tomorrow!

[ISABELLE]: I agree.

[NEELE]: Good night, girls! See y'all tomorrow.

The girls meet Hee Jin, who introduce the photoshoot.
[HEE JIN]: Hey girls! It's so good to finally meet all of you! As you might have remembered from yesterday's Hee Jin Alert, today's photoshoot has to do with the sea!

[HEE JIN]: We're here in Spanish Banks Beach, today. I'm sure you're wondering what you'll be doing, right?

[ALIZA *C*]: With all due respect, Hee Jin seems to be dragging this on and on forever! I want to know what we're doing, already!

[HEE JIN]: Today, we'll be utilizing this beautiful scenery into your photos. You'll be posing as sirens reincarnated into humans! It's going to be a very conceptualized photoshoot, so let's try our best today!

[NEELE *C*]: The photoshoot theme sounds so pretty! I'm so excited to see how my photo would turn out!

[HEE JIN]: Without further ado, head into hair and makeup and I'll see you in a bit!

Montage time hehe
[TATIANA *C*]: Walking into my first photoshoot ever as the first person up, I definitely feel a bit pressured!

[TATIANA *C*]: But, I'm going to try my best and eat this shoot up!

[HEE JIN]: Hey, Tatiana! Or, is it okay if I just called you Tati?

[TATIANA]: Why not? Go for it!

[HEE JIN]: So standing right next to me is renowned photographer Mannus Mees. He's done lots of work with fantastical concepts, which should be right up our alley this week!

[MANNUS]: Pleased to be your acquaintance, let's make some magic.

[TATIANA]: Let's do it!

[IRENE *C*]: Today, I feel determined to right the wrong that was this week's challenge. I know I have it in me, I just need to push a bit more.

[NEELE *C*]: What else can I say? I'm just going to slay like I always do.

[ISABELLE *C*]: Top Model is so important to me, I can't waste this chance I've got.

[HEE JIN]: Hello, Panninguaq. I trust you'll do a good job at today's shoot?

[PANNINGUAQ]: You can count on it.

[HEE JIN]: Good.

[HEE JIN]: Looks like that's a wrap!

Panel
[HEE JIN]: Hello, girls. We meet again.

[HEE JIN]: It's so strange that we're only starting out with seven people, I myself am not used to it either! But, I'm sure you know of our little twist this season.

[HEE JIN]: So with that said, let's get to the judging. This week, I am only accompanied by teen star turned model Ena Faulker, who you've met earlier this week. There will be two more judges this season, but they are currently overseeing the other batch of finalists in Montreal.

[HEE JIN]: This week, you've had to embody a siren story. Let's start with Aliza.

Aliza's critique
[HEE JIN]: Let's look at your photo.

[ALIZA]: Sure thing!

[ENA]: Hmm...

[ENA]: I don't know, I'm just torn between elegant and dead body in the water.

[HEE JIN]: I agree, I definitely see what you were going for, but with the way your arms are just floating like that, it definitely feels more 'carcass' to me.

[HEE JIN]: I would like to point out another thing: I find that your face is also very tense. Your eyes just look very squinted and, while I wouldn't notice it in the first few glances, when I do, it makes me uncomfortable as well.

[ENA]: The thing is, Aliza, you're a very young girl. So I take it you're still very inexperienced. I can admit you have the idea, you just need to work on execution.

[HEE JIN]: Thank you, Aliza.

Isabelle's critique
[HEE JIN]: Up next, Isabelle.

[ISABELLE]: Good day, judges.

[ENA]: Good day to you too, Isabelle! How does it feel starting in this competition at your age?

[ISABELLE]: Well, Ena, I'll admit it does feel a bit strange competing with girls half my age. I mean, I'm literally older than you!

[ISABELLE]: But I've met some really good people this week so I don't think that really matters.

[HEE JIN]: You were actually one of our oldest applicants of the season, and so we wanted to let you in because you don't often get gigs at 30, no?

[ISABELLE]: Naur, you don't...

[HEE JIN]: Well, small talk aside, let's look at your photo.

[ENA]: This feels very half-baked to me.

[ENA]: I think with such overwhelming editing, it can be easy to blend in, and I think that's exactly what you've done.

[HEE JIN]: Your pose is very bland, but I must say I love your face! I think you've definitely captured the regality of a siren well in your face.

[ENA]: Hmm, I don't really see that either. I just think this is a lazy photo, to me.

[HEE JIN]: Well, thank you, Isabelle.

Neele's critique
[HEE JIN]: Let's look at Neele next.

[ENA]: Well...

[ENA]: I don't really know what to say. You're not... doing anything.

[ENA]: No, cause, you're literally just putting your hands on your hips and calling it a day, girl..

[HEE JIN]: This is a very bland photo, Neele, I'm a bit disappointed. Nothing about this reads "model" to me, it just reads as an amateur Instagram post.

[HEE JIN]: You also didn't do your face justice. I think you have to watch your angles a bit, because you have a very round face. This angle just makes you look like a chipmunk.

[ENA]: Thank you, Neele.

Neele walks off and then it's Panninguaq's turn.
[NEELE *C*]: ...

[NEELE *C*]: Hearing my photo get so much criticism was really a reality check for me..

[NEELE *C*]: I went into the photoshoot feeling like I was queen of the world but, I guess that worked against my favor.

[NEELE *C*]: I can only hope the judges see enough in me to let me stay another week...

[ENA]: I worry for these girls, Hee Jin. The photos haven't been very good so far..

[HEE JIN]: Well, we still have 4 more girls to go! And, isn't that the whole point of this show anyways?

[ENA]: You're right. I hope the next girl wows us.

[HEE JIN]: Hello, Panninguaq! Here is your best shot.

[ENA]: Oh, wow! Now this is a good photo.

[ENA]: The way you posed makes yourself look so tall and regal, and I must say your face looks absolutely divine here.

[HEE JIN]: Oh, totally. You really knew how to make use of your environment. Even though I imagine the pose to be a bit uncomfortable, you still sold it in here. You look like a real divine being.

[ENA]: I know I said it already, but your face! It looks so soft and stunning.

[ENA]: I don't know, to me, I can't find any immediate flaws with this photo. I think you're on the right track, Panninguaq.

[HEE JIN]: Thank you!

Katenka's critique
[HEE JIN]: Hello, Katenka! How do you feel after having won the challenge?

[KATENKA]: Oh, it feels great! I do believe what we do in the beginning really sets the scene for the rest of the journey, so it's amazing to start on a good note!

[ENA]: While challenge wins are great, it's the photoshoot that really matters. Do you think you've done well enough?

[KATENKA]: Hopefully! Crossing my fingers!

[HEE JIN]: Well, let's have a look!

[ENA]: And, I think you did!

[ENA]: You have a very harsh look, Katenka, so it's surprising seeing you look so soft and elegant here.

[HEE JIN]: Definitely. In the pictures we've seen of you up until this one, you've always looked very fierce. But here, it's like a completely different person!

[ENA]: I also love your pose. It looks elegant, yet with a bit of sultriness mixed in. You look like you're seducing someone right now.

[HEE JIN]: I do agree but, I think it's a bit safe. That's not to say it isn't pretty, but the next time we see you, we'd like you to mix it up a little.

[ENA]: Thank you, Katenka!

[KATENKA]: Eek! Thank you, judges!

Tatiana's critique
[HEE JIN]: Hello, Tatiana, let's see your best shot.

[HEE JIN]: Okay! It's not bad! I think it pales in comparison to what we've seen from the others, though.

[ENA]: I think here shows how important it is to make sure your facials compliment your posing, because while the pose looks somewhat elegant, your tense face kind of brings it down. You don't look regal here, you look uncomfortable.

[HEE JIN]: You have a very harsh face, and it definitely shows here. I'd like you to work on that in the future.

[HEE JIN]: The composition definitely saves this photo a bit. If we were to look at just you, though, I think you could have committed more to the pose as well, to be honest. To me, you look like someone who's struggling to get out of the water.

[ENA]: Thank you, Tatiana.

Irene's critique
[HEE JIN]: Hello, Irene. Let's see your best shot.

[ENA]: I think I like it! It's not anything extraordinary, but you look very soft here, which is kind of the main brief of this shoot. So, props to you for that!

[HEE JIN]: I think you look a bit stiff though, and it might just chalk up to nerves. But, that's something you can improve on.

[IRENE]: Ahh.. I see...

[ENA]: I get the impression you're someone who gets caught up with details very easily. Some wise words from me, I don't think you should expect to get it all right on the first try. In fact, we're not expecting any of you to completely wow us first shot. The whole point of this show is so that you can learn and grow towards that level.

[HEE JIN]: Ena's right, Irene. Coming into this show as a complete newbie, you're going to have to accept that you won't know everything. But that's okay, just take our criticism and learn from it.

[HEE JIN]: With all that said, it's still a pretty good photo for this level. It can be easy to cross that line between 'soft' to 'tired,' I think you managed to tiptoe right on that border.

[ENA]: However, I think we both agree it's more on the soft side. So, kudos for that!

[HEE JIN]: Thank you, Irene.

[IRENE *C*]: Even though Ena and Hee Jin gave me a whole lecture about accepting mistakes and whatnot, I still keep mulling over what I could've done better. It's like something I do out of habit, now.

[IRENE *C*]: I do hope I'm safe...

After the prizes montage, it's time for the call-out.
[HEE JIN]: Hello, hello again, girls. It is now time for us to determine which 6 of you will be moving to Toronto and onwards to the competition.

[HEE JIN]: It's always hard to say goodbye, especially in the first week. But, do know that no matter how you perform this week, it's a learning experience for all of us.

[HEE JIN]: Without further ado, I'll announce the girl who Ena and I thought performed the best this week...

[HEE JIN]: First call-out of the week is...

[HEE JIN]: Panninguaq.

[HEE JIN]: Congratulations, Panninguaq. Already, you're starting this competition on a high note. Be sure to pace yourself, because this is only the first week. There's going to be much more trials to come.

[HEE JIN]: For now though, you are still in the running to becoming Stanloons's Top Model.

[HEE JIN]: Second best performer is...

[HEE JIN]: Katenka.

[HEE JIN]: Irene.

[HEE JIN]: You may not have been called first, but you still did well this week. Do not forget that.

[HEE JIN]: Tatiana.

[HEE JIN]: ...

[HEE JIN]: Escaping the bottom two is...

[HEE JIN]: Isabelle.

[ISABELLE]: You got me scared for a bit there, mate!

[HEE JIN]: Take this opportunity to improve and show us a better Isabelle next week. Congratulations, you're still in the running to become Stanloons's Top Model.

[NEELE *C*]: This can not be real.

[ALIZA *C*]: I didn't think I did that bad.

[HEE JIN]: Now, we're down to our bottom two. Both of your performances this week left something more to be desired. Aliza, let's start with you.

[HEE JIN]: You have ideas, and we see that you do. However, your execution could use some work. Your photo today was a bit lower than our expectations.

[HEE JIN]: We also worry that since you're 15, you might need a bit more time to mature before tackling this industry head-on. If we save you, will you prove to us that you can bring the superb ideas you have into fruition, or will your overexcitement be your downfall?

[HEE JIN]: Neele, your photo was the opposite of Aliza's. It was basic, tried, and uninspiring. If we save you, will you move past that and show us a more exciting side of Neele? Or will you be stuck in your old ways?

[HEE JIN]: So, who stays?

[HEE JIN]: The model whose executions lag behind her ideas? Or the model who cannot stand out?

[HEE JIN]: ...

[HEE JIN]: Aliza.

[ALIZA]: No fucking way...

[HEE JIN]: Aliza, we eventually deemed that you had more potential. You're like a breath of fresh air to the industry. Let's work on your message.

[ALIZA]: Thank you so much! You will not regret this!

[HEE JIN]: Neele, it's unfortunate to say this, but you are the worst performer of the week.

[HEE JIN]: It's always hard to let someone go, especially in the first week. We've barely gotten to see what you're made of!

[HEE JIN]: Which is why... we're going to be giving you another chance.

Hee Jin explains the photo battle twist again.
[NEELE]: Wait, does that mean-?

[HEE JIN]: Yes, we will be reusing the photo battle twist from last season.

[HEE JIN]: You all probably know by now that there's another batch of seven girls competing simultaneously in Montreal. When you meet in Toronto next week, the girl that performed the worst in that batch will go against you, Neele. And the worst performer out of the two in that week will be eliminated.

[NEELE *C*]: When Hee Jin told us about the shoot-out, I was like "Hell yeah!" I may have flopped this week, but trust and believe I will pick my ass back up and fight for my rightful spot in the top 13.

[NEELE *C*]: There's no way I'm letting Tati beat me that easily, anyways.

[HEE JIN]: Well, there's nothing else to say besides, try your hardest, and I'll see you again next week.
