In fabled and stunningly beautiful Paris, France, Kesse, 21, from North Little Rock, Arkansas, became the sixth girl to be eliminated from the competition. Kesse flourished in Paris, dancing in subway cars and shopping in luxurious shops, even when a modeling challenge called her attention. Told that she lacked "fire," Kesse was cut, as both the girls and the judges were overcome with tears.
Having formed tremendous bonds with the other girls, Kesse explained, "It hadn't really felt like a competition, 'cause we had been having so much fun hanging out." In her final moments, Kesse was overcome with emotion as reality dawned that for her, the competition was truly over. Following Giselle's elimination, everyone regrouped at the Flatotel.
Elyse and Adrianne hung out in Tokyo, getting used to having one less roommate. Adrianne acknowledged that when Giselle wasn't annoying her, she was pretty great, while Elyse reeled from being one of the final two in the elimination process. "It's incredibly stressful," she said, "I think I want the prize a little more now than I did at the beginning of the competition." The separation between the two rooms, Tokyo and Milan, was even stronger in Giselle's absence. Shannon, Robin and Kesse spent a lot of time together reading their Bibles, while Elyse described her room as "more raucous and nude," definitely a place for more suggestive conversation. Kesse, however, seemed to cross the boundary dividing the rooms.
"She's part of the holy room, and part of the Bible time," explained Elyse, "yet I think she's so funny, and I think she's coming out of her shellTyra Mail announced that the girls were headed for Wilhelmina in the morning, and Adrianne was thrilled. "My whole life I've been trying to find a way to go to New York to go to a modeling agency," she said. Pink, director of the women's division at Wilhelmina, sat the girls down to clarify a few things.
He pointed to a wall of photos and said, "You're looking at roughly two thousand to three thousand girls up for one or two positions, so you have to ask yourself, do you have what it takes?" He explained what was called a "go-see," in which a model would briefly visit and get to know a client on a day she's not working. "If you get four or five clients that are booking you once a month, you can make twenty, twenty five thousand a month," Pink said. Adrianne was astounded at that news.
