This contest will start with all five models emptying out, on film, and then drinking the same amount each. The dynamics will be very different with so much competition, so whatever each of these models may have accomplished in the past, the outcome here will probably be rather different. There will be a cash prize for the winner, and yes, I agree that she should have to hold on a few extra minutes in order to collect the prize.
Reading the comment in the post regarding the "Real Life" holding contest, about it being real and not staged, reminds me to mention that I not infrequently hear from people who think that everything the models do on B2B is choreographed. Other than me providing a general outline for what I want them to achieve, it's all down to the models who are certainly holding for real. I tend to forget that none of you see all the stuff that goes on behind the scenes. You don't witness all the pee dancing while conversations are taking place, or the panic that sometimes builds up when a model is not sure she can hold on long enough to film a scenario. Considering that we are all working to a schedule to achieve a result, what we do is as real as we can make it.
There have not been any "scripts" per se for a long time. Models can't work with scripts - they can't memorise dozens of lines. What they are given is an idea, and then they create everything themselves. The dialogue you hear and nearly all the actions they perform are invented as they go along. All I do is film, and introduce breaks when they move into positions which don't work well for the cameras. A wonderful example of this is Lily and Amber's "Architect's Apprentice". I spent a few minutes outlines the idea of the hapless apprentice who arrives late and doesn't like to admit that she needs to pee. Once the camera was running, every word and every action was down to the girls themselves. I told Amber not to pee on a carpet, but other than that they were free to choose the when and the where. The two of them did a better job than you see on many a scripted TV show. I love this job!
