This week, the girls share their deepest fears-slash-sob-stories, and also face death by bees. First, we learn a little about the tragic pasts that we missed out on with the truncated casting week. Molly is adopted, loves her churchy-looking parents, and feels bad about being a terror in high school. Ondrei has two brothers who have died -- one in a car accident, and one who was murdered only months ago. The others initially see her as unemotional about it, but really it's all just waiting to come out at an inopportune time. Nicole's tragedy is that she looks old on film.

Tyra visits the house in a chef's hat, with nutritionist Heather Bauer in tow. Tyra speaks in a terrifying French accent while she and Heather talk about "cheaties" -- i.e. bad-for-you meals that you can eat once in a while. They blindfold the girls and make them taste two dishes and guess which is the healthiest. Basically they have to choose between two crap foods. The moral of the story is that it's totally okay to eat spaghetti and meatballs AFTER your photo shoot. Monique is grateful to Tyra for empowering women who love pasta.

The kitchen wars start early this season, and center around raw chicken in a cereal bowl. This is Aleandria's chicken, and it's apparently been in the fridge for days. Dalya gives her a talk about fridge versus freezer, to which Alexandria defensively yells, "I know about chicken!" A simmering rivalry ensues. Jaclyn, who is totally scared of Alexandria, keeps her opinions about chicken to herself.
