Despite his married man worries, Jonathan performed well enough to win the photo challenge, the first guy to do so outright this season. For his go-see Jonathan is sent to audition for 2(x)ist underwear...thank you Make Me A Supermodel gods for that one. Jonathan chooses Gabe to accompany him to 2(x)ist, which is perfect, since Gabe walks around in just his underwear all the time. At least we know he won't be uncomfortable. The go-see is more of a casting, there are a lot of guys trying out for the campaign. Jonathan is up first and he's given a pair of tighty whities to model. Wowza. Jonathan is made for underwear modeling. The designer (yes, underwear has designers) thinks Jonathan is amazing and gets sweaty palms just looking at him. If Jonathan isn't booked for this job, the 2(x)ist guys are insane.

Gabe is next and he pales in comparison to Jonathan in performance and presence. It's obvious that Gabe isn't going to book the job, but he makes sure he gets a free pair of new underwear out of the go-see. And if stealing the product isn't rude enough, he leaves his old underwear at the go-see...classy Gabe, classy. When they get back to the house, Jonathan gets a call back from the 2(x)ist guys: they want him to be the new face (see: body) for their spring underwear campaign.

It's time for this week's runway challenge, which Tyson says will continue to push boundaries. Woah, not just boundaries...it'll be pushing gender defining clothes. For this runway the guys will be wearing skirts and the girls will be modeling skinny suits. Love it! Make Me A Supermodel is killing it this season with creative runway shows and photo shoots. The challenge of this week's runway is for the men to make the skirts look manly and for the ladies to make the suits look powerful, while remaining feminine.

Salome is up first and her walk looks weak and she looks uncertain. Despite that uncertainty, she looks stunning and the judges ooh and ahh over her. Here comes Colin in a suit and would you believe it? It's his best walk to date! He looks strong and ridiculously handsome, even in a skirt. Mountaha looks gorgeous in the suit and strikes a serious pose on the end of the runway. Branden is next and he looks the least comfortable in the skirt, perhaps it's a little challenging to the young man's uber-hetero identity. Kerryn carries herself down the runway like a pro and looks stunning. Tyson coos, "That's what I'm talking about" about Kerryn. I think Kerryn's strength during her runway is the eye-contact she makes with the judges, this week's eye contact literally seems to leave some of the judges breathless.

CJ looks dull and lifeless on the runway. It seems CJ has totally psyched herself out, which is shame, because she has one of the most striking faces in the competition. Next up is Sandhurst and brings a really strong walk to counteract the dress. He says "you need to add more balls to the walk." After his performance this week, I think Sandhurst should run color commentary for all future episodes. Jordan comes out all rock and roll, with her thumb in her waist band. She has all the attitude in the world and it really works on this runway. Gabe is up next and he's a little too swingy in his runway walk, but he flashes a small smile to the judges while posing. Perou almost dies when Gabe smiles, saying "holy sh*t, he smiled." Laury delivers another proficient, if not strong runway walk. Amanda's next and girl needs to stop with her signature shoulder twitch pose, it is getting old and it's only five episodes in. Last but not least is Jonathan, who walks the runway like a man who knows he's already won....which is way sexy. With a walk like that, Jonathan just may win back-to-back immunity.

The judges have tallied the scores and Colin, Laury, Salome, Amanda, Jordan and Branden are safe. Hooray! The virgin and almost-Amish survived to model another day. When Branden flashes a smug smirk, Jenny Shimizu says "I think Branden is getting cockier and cockier by the second." And she says it like that is not a good thing. I love Jenny Shimizu, she is a much needed firecracker amidst rather dull characters. When Perou cracks jokes about threesomes during judging, Jenny says "in real life threesomes are ridiculous" and warns the models to never try it; and it seems like she is speaking from real life experience.

The judges were impressed with Jonathan's all around performance and extra impressed he book the underwear ad campaign. Jenny says she was impressed with Kerryn's photo and walk and Perou gives Kerryn a strangely sexy smile. The judges comments about CJ aren't that kind. Perou says she looks like a frotophilac, without referencing a sexual perversion dictionary, and the rest of the judges says CJ had a blank expression on the runway. As for Sandhurst, the judges say he killed the runway as always, but needs to work on his photos. Turns out a smile is not enough to sell the judges on Gabe. Marlon, the stern agency manager, says, "a smile is not going to keep you on the show and it's certainly not going to make you a supermodel." Don't worry Marlon, Gabe's not smiling now. The judges were disappointed by Mountaha's catwalk and confused by her photo. This makes the sassy Brazilian cry and attempt to brag about her Montreal newspaper photo. When the model's mentors are asked for their thoughts, Tyson says, "I think the gentlemen did very well." Nicole on the other hand basically says she's saved CJ before and won't be doing so again.

During deliberation the judges say they're not sure about CJ and her defiant attitude. The judges aren't sure about Mountaha either, they all say they don't know who she is. The guest judge this week, Kelly Klein, takes Gabe down a notch saying "I don't find him that hot." While Jenny thinks that Gabe has reached his limit as a model and he can't improve. The judges are in love with Sandhurst, but think his picture isn't good enough to deserve a win. As for their positives, the judges thought Jonathan put on a great performance, "as he always does." They're also enamored with Kerryn, who's week to week improvement is especially impressing the judges. So, it will either be Jonathan or Kerryn who wins this week, meaning we'll have our first double immunity winner. Will it be a guy or a girl?

The judges have made their decision. Tyson tells Jonathan that he's "the model to beat," and I have to agree with Tyson. As he proved this week, Jonathan could go out to a go-see and book a big time ad campaign no problem. As for Kerryn, the judges say they've been showing tremendous growth and that she's proved that she is "a force to be reckoned with." Jonathan is safe, which means that Kerryn has won immunity. Woo-hoo! That makes KErryn the first double elimination winner. Kerryn rightly says, "they might not have though I was competition, but watch out." You go with your Christian modeling school skills Kerry, you go! Sandhurst and Mountaha are both safe, leaving this season's bad mood bears Gabriel and CJ in the bottom two.

Tyson tells Gabriel that he needs "to be a bigger model, and I'm not talking about physically, I'm talking about your presence." As for CJ, the judges say she "has a face that make people want to work with her, but an attitude that turns people off." Of course, to this comment, CJ makes a snotty face. Point proven judges, point proven. And with that, CJ is told she can't be made into a supermodel and Gabe survives another round in the bottom two.
