Aired 4 April 2010

The first results show of the series. Our final 11 girls are sent on their first Dorothy mission, where they'll muck in together and muck out... on a pig farm. But the Dorothys have one thing on their mind - which of them have persuaded the public that they deserve to stay in the competition?
