In the end, Daisy won for her natural delivery, confidence and stage presence. Rather predictably, Sophie thought she should have won despite not making eye contact with anybody. Get over it, Soph!

Britain's Next Top Model: Season 5 Episode 4: The One With The Ishoos
So, following last week's shock eviction of, er, no-one, it came as no surprise to find a little unresolved rage in the Top Model house this week.
Victims of all the nastiness were last week's bottom two, Chloe and Ashley, who promptly called a house meeting to point out (quite rightly) that being kept in wasn't their fault. Sophie was having none of it though, and it all turned into a bit of a bitch-fest, directed at Chloe in particular. Methinks Sophie is this season's sore loser.
Domestic disputes aside, and on with the competition. They'd somehow roped in Leah Wood to leave a video message for the task, and she told them to look forward to an exciting day with someone very close to her heart. As Ronnie Wood is currently off trying to recapture his lost youth with a Russian cocktail waitress a third of his age; I for one could only assume she was referring to her mum, Jo.
So rock royalty and all-round lovely lady Jo Wood met the girls and gave them their challenge: to speak to an audience of 12-16 year olds about some proper Ishoos. Ignoring Jo's blatantly massively hint about being spokesperson for a number of charities, the girls eschewed topics of world peace, global diseases and the like to er, talk about make-up and stuff. Probably not the Ishoos Jo had in mind. Annaliese conducted an impromptu dance class, Chloe was the one with the make-up (she's against animal testing by the way, just try and ignore the leather jacket she's wearing) and Jade discussed her eating disorder. Kasey failed to get the point across with her endless "d'ya kno wot I mean tho?" and Maddy, Hayley and Mecia went to pieces.
In the end, Daisy won for her natural delivery, confidence and stage presence. Rather predictably, Sophie thought she should have won despite not making eye contact with anybody. Get over it, Soph!
Next came another challenge with Lovely Lisa's breakfast sidekick, Johnny Vaughan. The girls were interviewed in groups of three by Johnny whilst Lovely Lisa (aka Naughty Eavesdropping Lisa) listened in from next door. Sophie and Daisy trashed Chloe, thus breaking the first rule of a quick interview when you're not even famous yet. Jade and Kasey were rather yawnalicious when talking about their 'modelling dreams', Annaliese came across well, and Mecia showed no charisma (possibly because there isn't any to show). Johnny defended Viola from the other girls even though she pretty much died on air, and delivered a good grammatical reminder to us all - "There was too much 'Basically' and 'D'ya kno wot I mean vo' and 'To be honest' - they're all things sales people say when they're lying to you". Amen to the big JV!
Annaliese won the challenge and took Ashley with her to be smothered in new clothes and Swarovski prettiness. Not a bad prize!
Photoshoots! And they're dark and gritty shots of real Ishoos! Representing an anti-smoking campaign were Maddy and Viola, a campaign against drug use used Sophie, Mecia and Kasey; Annaliese and Ashley took shots for a campaign highlighting the problem of domestic violence and PETA used Daisy, Jade and Lauren, with Hayley and Chloe assigned to a Know Your Limits alcohol campaign.
At judging, Sophie was called first, disappointing as we cared neither for the girl nor the shot. Hmmpf. Jade, Maddy and Daisy pulled great shots and Ashley had a really powerful shot which was not surprising given that she was a past victim of domestic violence herself. Chloe got some praise, but personally it did nothing for me.
Annaliese gave great body but pretty poor face and Kasey and Mecia didn't really understand the brief of looking off their head on drugs, but not in a good way. We here wouldn't have thought that was such a difficult concept, but that shows how much we know doesn't it. Hayley's shot lacked oompf and Lauren again failed to escape from her pretty-prettiness.
In the final two, Kasey stayed but Lauren got sent home, still determined to pursue her modelling dreams. May we suggest plenty of catalogue work, stat?!
In the end, Daisy won for her natural delivery, confidence and stage presence. Rather predictably, Sophie thought she should have won despite not making eye contact with anybody. Get over it, Soph!
