The girls take the limo to a one-hour photo store, where they have their passport photos taken.  Of course the guy behind the counter isn’t really a retail photo shop guy, he’s Mark Anderson—a celebrity photographer! The passport shoot is a test, and Bre wins.  She’ll receive a prize she can share with Nik when they get to London. (For the record, Lisa’s picture was really good—better than Bre’s--but I don’t think the producers will let her win. I think Lisa may have boozed her way right out of this competition.)

In the limo, Nik is whispering about Kim to Bre. “I don’t think it’s fair to go out of your way to purposefully humiliate other people.” Kim realizes that they are whispering about her and confronts them.

That’s when Bre breaks it down for Kim. “You have talked about everybody in this house and it’s not venting. It’s you being obnoxious.”  Kim denies it. (Did she forget that she is on a television show and everything she does is filmed?) She says that when she develops a friendship with someone she does not talk about them. Bre calls her a liar and says, “You’re character is very ugly.”  

Kim starts to panic, but Lisa is chilling beside of her snacking on chips like she’s watching a game on television. She says, “If I deserved to be in the hot seat at the beginning of this, Kim deserves to be in the hot seat now.”

Kim wisely cops to the accusation, “I guess I got nervous and I messed up.” Nik is on a roll now, “I think you purposely try to hurt people—PURPOSELY!”  Then, to Kim’s horror, Bre and Nik repeat everything they have heard Kim say about the other girls.  There are some zingers too, like “If Jayla doesn’t know she’s about to get dumped, then God help her!”

Kim is horrified. Jayla pipes up, “I liked you from the very beginning, and when I found out you were talking all kinds of shit about me, how do you think that made me feel?”

Kim apologizes to Jayla, and says she sometimes just says things for comic effect.

Bre won’t accept Kim’s apology, so Kim whips up some tears to show how sorry she really is. Nicole tries to defend Kim, rightly pointing out that everyone gossips a little. She thinks it was just wrong for them to gang up on Kim. Nik thinks that Kim is crying because she’s busted, not because she’s actually sorry. But Bre (suddenly the new alpha model) relents and tells Kim to “work on it.”  Then she hugs her and says, “C’mon. Give momma love.” 

Later, Kim tells us “The situation has been dealt with.”  But that’s not what Bre and Nik think.  Bre thinks Kim is putting on a show.

What a great way to a transatlantic plane ride together—and in coach!

The girls arrive at Heathrow airport. Miss J is there and takes them on a tour of London (while wearing a super cute “Naomi hit me” t-shirt).  They end up at their fancy new digs—the Savoy Hotel.  As they should have expected, the paparazzi are waiting for them.

Lisa hides her face and shoves the photographers out of the way. Lisa, you’re not a star yet. You’re supposed to smile and wave, smile and wave!  Nicole poses, although she looks as rumpled as we all look after a long ride on an airplane. 

This hotel is really nice---much better than when they stuck them in those bed-pods in the Japanese hotel two seasons ago! The girls settle in, and Kim tells us, “At this point we’re all getting along really well.”  Sure Kim, whatever you say.s hysterical when the pigeons land on her head), and Bre and Kim go at it again!
