Tonight’s Recap:  When the contestants get back to their room after panel there are gifts for the American team. Sophie takes Laura’s stuffed animal and puts it over the pool and says she’s going to drop it into the water she asked how mad Sophie will be.  Sophie tells her she would kill her. As Sophie is dangling was the stuffed animal (Alan) over the pool – Sophie grabs for it gets it but the ear came off and falls into the pool. As Laura grabs for it Kyle kicks the ear and it goes to the middle of the pool. Laura became very upset and freaks out the stuffed animal was given to her by a friend Kevin who passed away just before she came on the show. Sophie realizes that the stuffed animal meant something to Laura and says ‘what the hell have I done.’

The door rings and it is the last winner of America’s next top model Lisa. Lisa tells them they are going to record and perform a music video. She tells them this is super super fun and on the All-Star cycle of ANTM she was the one who won. The girls will be separated into two teams the US team and the UK team. The UK team will be mentored by Nadine Coyle and the US team will be mentored by Jessica Sutta. Lisa tells the girls that their music is on their virgin mobile phones and they should go and practice.

The girls walk into the recording studio. The UK girls picked the name Fiercely British and the US team picks the name the United Sirens of America. They will be recording with Tom Polce. Is a girl’s job to bring their own personalities to the songs. in the UK girls seem to be having an easier time at the music. After singing the songs Lisa tells the UK that she feels they are one point ahead of the American team but that doesn’t really mean anything.

The girls had over too Millenniums Studio to learn choreography. When they get there Tyra is there she is going to teach them the art of booty tooch. She tells the girls to put on their booty tooch equipment. Azmarie refuses to put the equipment on. She says she is a grown ass woman and she refuses to do it.

Azmarie leaves. Tyra asked the girls if they are excited to learn how to Tooch. Tyra tells him before they learn how to tooch they have to learn how to tooch wrong. Then Tyra starts with the correct standard tooch. Tyra tells them she does not want to see any of the bad tooching in the music video.

The American girls are practicing their choreography and Azmarie realizes what she did by refusing to participate in the booty tooch lessons. The girls go to the studio and meet Mr. J and they are in the Playhouse nightclub. It is going to be the backdrop for their video shoot.

The US team sees how much energy the UK team has the bar is really raised. Kyle is having a really hard time her eyes are opening really wise she really struggled with the choreography and her sense of belonging in the group. Mr. J thinks Kyle pulls down the performance for the girls this week.

Kyle is really upset she does not want to be eliminated for dancing poorly and knows it’s really important for her to get her energy up.  Mr. J thinks  Azmarie has great personality but she has to learn to keep her ego in check.  Laura feels Kyle’s self-consciousness has brought them down as a whole. Mr. J feels that Laura kind of steals the attention from the other girls when she’s performing with them.

Tyra mail tomorrow they are going to panel one girl will be eliminated.

Kyle is worried she knows she messed up and she is worried she will go home. Azmarie is also worried because she realizes not participating in the booty tooch could cause a problem for her team.

The UK girls think they won and really hope they do.
