Linda becomes a messy queen

Linda is the only contestant who does not immediately take a ‘before’ photograph. Instead, she goes directly to the shed in search of props. She is pleased by a toy crown and a pair of angel wings she finds, and quickly puts them on. After draping a long piece of silver fabric around her body as a skirt, and wrapping several layers of colourful wooden beads around her neck, Linda returns to Pilvi and declares that she’s ready to take her ‘before’ picture. This is taken on the side porch of the mansion, amongst some flowers, so that she looks more “pure”. Linda then returns to the shed for more costume items for her ‘after’ picture, donning a different crown, and swapping her silver skirt for a blue one. She also lets her hair down and messes it up, furthering the effect by wetting it in the bathroom sink. Linda’s ‘after’ picture is taken in the bathroom, with her sitting on the toilet in her new outfit. Linda seems to have gone for a ‘hungover’ look - her hair is wet, and she’s using her fingers to pull her cheeks down and away from her face. She has also chosen not to frame her ‘after’ picture, instead sitting in the frame and balancing it on her knees. Jaakko awards Linda first place.
