There are ways to tell, if you pay close attention. Instead of a dancer's mangled toenails, she's got a perfect pedicure, nails neatly rounded on top and squared off on the sides. She downs hamburgers and ketchup-covered french fries without the slightest hint of anxiety. Her plie is a little less pliable and every now and then, her perfect knee - hidden under slim jeans - will puff like a baking biscuit. But if you were just to see her, tall and graceful, walking the streets of New York with her headphones on, you'd never know that 22-year-old Alicia Graf will never dance another ballet.

Alicia Graf was 12 when Donna Harrington Payne first spotted her.Instead of a still-growing adolescent, Payne saw a girl with an elegant head and a luxuriously long neck. Her shoulders were graceful and slightly sloping. Her torso was short; her long legs strong but lean, with muscles so elongated her thighs were nearly the same width as her calves. The bones and joints in her feet and toes were sturdy and hyperflexible. Her hip sockets allowed nearly 180 degrees of rotation."I thought, 'Oh my God, I can really work this girl and really create a beautiful dancer,' " says Payne, a teacher and choreographer.

The producers named Episode 2 “Total Dysfunction.” And that about sums it up. Michael tries to start out this episode on a better note, telling the girls that he watched their fire while they were at tribal council, but the women aren't that impressed. Alicia thinks that Christina made herself look crazy at tribal council. Does she not realize that Christina wasn't the only one yelling? Alicia looks at least as crazy, if not more so. Alicia and Christina do that woman thing where they pretend to talk things out, and pretend that everything is OK, when it clearly is not. Alicia even offers a classic non-apology, “I'm sorry that's how you feel.” But Alicia wants to keep Christina around a bit longer to help win challenges, since Nina “looks like a bag of rocks.” The women decide to make Sabrina their leader, which she refers to as “leading the airheads.” This is not an untrue analogy, from what I've seen so far. Wow, Kat is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
