LA New Girls - Modelling Audition - M - Erin - ...
For the first time, contestants under 5'7" are cast. They enter a room where they are supposedly being cast for Le Cycle 13, Fall Collection, but an actor tells them that they are too short, at which point Tyra enters and tells them 'it's time to break the mold'. Soon after they dress in model basics and are given a runway lesson by Miss J and have a face Polaroid taken by Mr. Jay. Then comes castings. Memorable interviews include Courtney revealing she has a broken foot, modeling teacher Alison teaching Miss J her own runway tricks, Lulu stating she is gay within seconds of her entrance and Sundai talking about her abusive childhood. During this time, Amber's personality and Nicole's lack thereof scare their fellow competitors. 20 girls are selected after the first cut and taken to a runway at the end of which they have to strike four poses. Courtney impresses Jay by soldiering on the entire runway instead of just posing. During the review, Tyra notes that many girls are posing in a more sexual than fashion way. Ultimately 14 girls are chosen and Tyra congratulates them for being pioneers.

The episode starts with Bianca being determined to become softer. Miss J introduced to a 9-year-old runway model named Diva Davanna, the girls get their first runway teach with him, learning to "walk tall" and how to walk with a partner. The challenge later requires them to walk next to models who are 5'10" and above. Brittany impresses Ann Shoket and wins an editorial for herself, Kara and Laura, angering Ashley and Lulu who had earlier coached Brittany how to walk. Back at the house, Nicole bonds with Bianca as the latter reveals her fear of showing vulnerability due to her abusive past. Ashley and Lulu later warn Nicole that she is being used, upsetting her. Nicole and Brittany then discuss their chagrin, calling Ashley a mean-girl and Lulu her sidekick. At the photo shoot, Brittany struggles with the fact that the girls are allowed to watch her, while Bianca has to be distracted to look softer. At panel, Kara, Nicole and Erin receive unanimous praise, whereas Brittany, Rae and Laura are castigated for making themselves look shorter. Sundai is praised for her picture but her outfit and lack of presence on the runway do not sit well with Miss J. In the end Brittany survives her first bottom two appearance as Lulu is eliminated for her poor performance at the shoot and uninspiring personality.
The girls meet Benny Ninja, who tells them that as models, they must use their bodies as well as their faces to convey emotions. He brings out Lil Mama and Jabbawockeez to teach the girls to dance. The girls then learn that they will perform in groups of three, with masks covering their faces while showing happiness, sadness and anger. Jennifer, Rae and Kara work well together and win US$17,000 in jewelry.
The girls are driven to Wilhelmina and are told they will go on go-sees in pairs (Nicole & Laura, Brittany & Kara, Erin & Jennifer and Rae & Sundai). They are given a car by each pair, but must navigate themselves with the aid of a map. The go-sees include an audition for a commercial, which most of the girls fail at, except for Nicole, who is eager to make-up for her previous bad week. Sundai and Rae try to squeeze in one last go-see, and end up being disqualified for being late in Los Angeles traffic. Nicole is declared the winner and rewarded a piece from each designer's collection and is told she will star in the commercial she auditioned for. Back at the house, Kara and Sundai are ticked off by Nicole's supposed "set-up" win.
The episode starts with a cold open as Kendall Knight, James Diamond, Carlos Garcia, and Logan Mitchell, four hockey players from Minnesota, excitedly flee from their school's girls' field hockey team, having unblocked a nearby sprinkler onto their practice session only moments ago. They are chased until they reach a dead-end, and quickly disappear under a barrage of angry hockey sticks. Meanwhile, Hollywood mega-producer Gustavo Rocque and his assistant Kelly Wainwright arrive in Minnesota via limousine, where they are holding auditions at a local Paramount performing center to help Gustavo find "a canvas with great hair that he can paint his pop on."
Delores Adkins: "My only comment is, I really want to see Bette in Hello, Dolly!"Erin McVay: "I'm just super surprised over The Great Comet of 1812."Katherine Boettcher: "Sunset was robbed!"Rachel Agee: "I say YAY for Jayne Houdyshell and also MAN I would love to see Josh Groban win a Tony. I don't think he will. But it would be so great. Also, I wonder if it's awkward now between Laura and Cynthia alternating those roles since one was nominated for lead and one was nominated for supporting (from the scenes I've seen online of them doing both parts, I think the nominations were accurate.)"The other day when we asked people to share their own audition stories, we forgot to add our favorites: One time a guy whom I had cast and directed in his first musical came to auditions for The Rocky Horror Show and on his resume, it listed the show (La Cage Aux Folles) but under the "director" heading was someone else's name! When I inquired, he said he forgot I directed the show. He was not called back. Neither was the actor who showed up, hoping for a role in Picnic, who admitted to me that he had no clue what roles were available in the classic William Inge play because he had no idea what the show was about. We were nonplussed, to say the least.
War Eagle! My name is Garrett Flowers, and I am honored to serve as the returning drumline section leader for the 2023 season. I am originally from Montgomery, AL, where I graduated from Trinity Presbyterian School. I have been playing snare since the 7th grade and am so grateful for the friendships and memories made throughout this time. I was blessed with the ability to march drum corps in addition to my years of high school marching band, however, I can confidently say that performing in the AUMB has been the highlight of my music career. I am a senior this year majoring in software engineering, and this will be my fifth season with the AUMB. Outside of the band, I enjoy playing outdoor sports, running, and hanging out with friends. If you have any questions about the drumline, the audition process, or just college life in general, feel free to contact me anytime. War Eagle again, and welcome to the Auburn Family! 041b061a72
