Ep 8. The Girl Who is a Model, Not a Masseuse

In America's Next Top Model season 6 episode 8, titled "The Girl Who is a Model, Not a Masseuse," the remaining contestants are put to the test in a spa-themed photo shoot. The episode begins with the contestants returning from the previous elimination, where Jade was eliminated, leaving six girls remaining in the competition.

The girls are greeted by supermodel Janice Dickinson, who introduces them to their new challenge. The models are taken to a spa where they are given a crash course in massage therapy by a professional masseuse. They are then tasked with creating their own spa-inspired photo shoot, where they will showcase the techniques they learned in the class.

The girls quickly get to work, with most of them feeling confident in their skills. However, one model, Furonda, struggles during the photo shoot, admitting that she doesn't feel comfortable with the massage techniques and has a fear of touching people. Meanwhile, Nnenna impresses the judges with her ability to connect with the client and deliver a beautiful photo.

After the spa photo shoot, the models head back to the house where a surprise visitor awaits them. Iconic fashion designer Roberto Cavalli pays a visit to the girls to instruct them on their next challenge. He tasks them with designing their own dresses for a runway show that will take place the following day. The models scramble to create their unique designs, with some struggling more than others.

On the day of the runway show, the models present their designs in front of a live audience and the judges, including Roberto Cavalli. Although some of the dresses are impressive, others fall flat and fail to impress the judges.

At panel, the judges deliberate on the models' performances in the spa photo shoot and the runway challenge. Tyra Banks and the judges critique each of the contestants, providing both positive feedback and constructive criticism. In the end, one model is eliminated from the competition, leaving only five remaining contestants vying for the title of America’s Next Top Model.

Overall, "The Girl Who is a Model, Not a Masseuse" showcases the talent and creativity of the remaining models as they navigate a challenging spa-themed photo shoot and an unexpected design challenge. With the pressure mounting and the competition heating up, it's anybody's game as the models fight to stay in the running to become America's Next Top Model.
