Episode 9 (1x9)

Air date: Jan 20, 2013

The girls return from a surprising non-elimination week, but Stephanie and Sofia, both of whom were in the bottom 2, are struggling to keep their spirits up. Kate and Jessica decide to lighten the mood in the house by spontaneously jumping into the pool and dragging Aastha and Stephanie in as well. Little did they know that water is Aastha’s and Stephanie’s worst fear. In the episode challenge, the girls have to come up with a storyline for a Playboy VIP for Her Fragrance commercial, get themselves styled and act in that TVC. Find out which creative contestant best encapsulated the brand image through their fantasy. In an underwater photo-shoot challenge, the girls attempt to evoke the grace of a couture mermaid. Who will be eliminated and who will survive in the toughest photo shoot ever faced in the competition?
