For the week's challenge, the eight remaining finalists did an interview with Janice Dickinson. The challenge winner was Mercedes for her honesty surrounding her lupus. The week's photo shoot was a campaign for Quench Water and was shot underwater. Catie, Yoanna, Mercedes and April performed well, with Sara being praised by Jay for being “better in the water than” on land.
