Can you believe we're this far into the competition and it's the first time a British girl was called first on America's Next Top Model? At the house, Alisha's video with her Fiercely British girls is on display and it may just be the fuel they need to take the American girls out. The biggest issue with the Americans is that they can't all get on the same page. Kyle and Seymone keep to themselves, feeling that the other girls gang up on them, but the main target is 100% Kyle.

Tyra Mail is delivered with the message "Beauty is in the SMIZE of the beholder" and the girls are taken to meet up with Nigel Barker. Teams will be filiming an anti-bullying PSA. Once some of the girls are informed what PSA actually means (yeah... they didn't know), they're paired up with some young girls to co-star with. They share their stories and insecurities with the models and Alisha, in particular, is struck by what she hears. She can't help but be moved to tears by her girl, who says she doesn't like the color of her skin or her hair because she doesn't look like the pictures of princesses that she sees.

Dry those tears because it's time for the video shoots! The Americans did get to know their girls but it seemed like the Brits practiced more with their partners, and had more fun with it too. Though at times they seemed a bit too rehearsed, Nigel declares the British models as the winners and, for their prize, they get video messages from home. Everyone's was really sweet and heartfelt... well, with the exception of Sophie's awkward boyfriend, who just talked about the weather.

The next day, the girls are taken to the biggest mansion I've ever seen for a photo shoot where they need to act like living art. British singer Estelle joins them for the shoot, where several girls have to be in the same photo. I don't get how this is living art - it just looks like girls climbing on a table and grabbing food. Oh and booty tooching. I'm still trying to figure out exactly WHAT tooch means... or why we're still talking about it.

At panel, Sophie and Annaliese get the most favorable feedback, though I think Eboni's topsy-turvy shot was my favorite of the night. Tyra calls Sophie first, followed by Seymone, Eboni, Annaliese, Laura, and Catherine. Annaliese had to have been called later because of Tyra and Tyra alone, because she felt it was too commercial and not high fashion enough. The prizes here include representing Cover Girl, the Top Model perfume, recording a single... all of this sounds pretty commercial to me. What's wrong with commercial?

Kyle and Alisha land in the bottom - Kyle because she keeps giving the same look over and over, and Alisha because she runs hot and cold. Alisha's performances in the background of each photo ended up being what saved her, though I'm pretty sure it would've been Kyle going home regardless.

America's Next Top Model: British Invasion airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on the CW.
