Tick Tick Tick Flash

Awesome shoot, terrible elimination, what else can I say?

1.-MARI
Fabulous.  I love how Mari's kind of pissed and is saying "How dare you take a photo of me!" My favorite shot of Mari by far.  Love so much.

2.-MARJE
Another fabulous shot.  Love the face here and how Marje didn't just go for pretty and I also love what she is doing to the dress. Another hit from Ms. Fabulous.

3.-ANI
Yay! Ani's not a one-hit-wonder! This is really lovely.  I love how Ani looks like an Old Hollywood actress and her smile looks pretty good here.

4.-DARINA
Darina looks a bit mature here but besides that it's a fabulous shot.  Love the face and confidence she has here.

5.-TATJANA
Sassy little Paris Hilton! Not as great as the four above her, but it's still pretty great.  The face looks in control and I love that little smirk Tatjana has.  THIS IS NOT ELIMINATION-WORTHY! Sorry, had to vent a little.  Haha just get ready for the shoot after next shoot, then I will be even more pissed about the elimination.

6.-ANU
This is boring.  The face is nice but the body looks absolutely horrible.

7.-ANA
This looks like Sarah Jessice Parker who has been embarrassed in front of the paparazzi with a busted nose.

8.-MARIA
Maria during her photos resemble some of the red heads in Top Model and here she looks like Alevtina from Russia's Cycle 4

The Amazing Alevtina Kuptsova
but more busted and awkward.

Tatjana was eliminated which was silly.  Anyways, there's another shoot from this episode so Tatjana will have one more on-show shot! Yay!


Cosmopolitan

Nice simple shoot.  There were some good stand outs so I'm not mad at all.

1.-ANI
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Ani took a photo that I love! This is divine; I love the eye contact here and I love the pink jacket on her...pink really looks divine on her.  Anyways, divine, divine, divine! Yay for Ani!

2.-MARJE
This is just lovely.  I love how Marje looks like a feminine boy with piercing eyes.  Hate the earrings but besides that, another hit from Marje!

3.-DARINA
Very simple and pretty.  I love the symmetry in this shot but there's something off in the face.

4.-MARI
This does not look like something from Cosmopolitan but I could care less.  It's so natural and it shows off Mari's face so well.  Work!

5.-ANU
The face looks lovely.  Those eyes are just love, but I hate how Anu put her hands in the shot.  It makes the shot much weaker.

6.-TATJANA
Stunning shot.  The eyes pierce but the thing is that I prefer the other five photos.

7.-DANIELA
I'm actually surprised Daniela got eliminated after doing good these past two weeks.  It's an okay shot but I hate how she has little eye contact and not upper lip.  Not elimination worthy.

8.-ANA
Blah...there's nothing really good about this shot.  The angle on the nose is terrible and Ana isn't doing anything to make this shot interesting.

9.-MARIA
I love the haughty expression that Maria is wearing as well as the red lip but I hate the "up the nose" angle and how she's squinting her eyes so much.

Daniela was eliminated.

You've Got To Move It But Don't Look Ugly

Worst shoot of the cycle by far and then to make it even worse, they made the horror into two shoots.  Oh how lovely.  So guess what? I'm just going to be lazy and only do one shoot which is where they are gymnasts.  If anyone wants to see the girls in the air on bicycles well then click here.

And now onto the horror!

1.-DARINA
Gasp, this is actually pretty! :O Of course only Darina could pull this off.  The pose is kind of cool, but I love how relaxed the face looks.  Work it out bb!

2.-DANIELA
Daniela looks like a ninja about to fight which is really cool but her legs look short.  Still, at least she worked it this week.

3.-TATJANA
Pose is just awesome.  It kind of looks like a ballerina in the air but the angle on her body is terrible and the face isn't anything lovely.

4.-ANA
The pose is quite athletic which I guess is good but the face resembles Lexie in a way and although her personality is awesome, her face never photographed well...

5.-MARI
Face is absolutely horrible but I've got to give Mari props for looking slightly long.

6.-MARJE
I love you Marje but seriously? This is horrible.  First of all that face is just bad and I hope Marje never does that face again and her body doesn't look the best here.

7.-ANI
Can I just say how excited I am for next shoot so I won't be needing to rank Ani this low anymore? Ani's pose is pretty good but the squinting sucks and she looks like she just smelled something rotten.

8.-MARIA
And after that lovely doll shot, Maria is back to mediocre photos.  The pose is way too much and does nothing for the body and the face looks so stiff.

9.-ANU
This is horrible.  The pose is good but Anu's body looks horrible and that face is just lol.

10.-MANON
This is just really really bad.  That face looks like it's saying "WHAT?" and the pose make Manon look 4'0".  Sadly, I agree about Manon's elimination.

The call outs are being messed up since Multiply has one different call outs and Wiki has another so for the rest of Finland's C1 I'll just say who got eliminated.  Manon was eliminated BTW.

In The Big Apple/The Finale!

Finally the cycle is over! We get a weak winner to finish off this cycle but whatever. Alice and Amanda make up for all of the blah winners.

1.-ALEXANDRA
Love. I love the outfit on Alexandra and how she's kind of running away from the studio set or something. This is awesome and a strong ending for Alexandra.

2.-DEMELZA
Boring, washed out, terrible shoes...I would have never thought that Demelza was a model from this image. I think that she has some qualities that are great for modeling (like her face) but here it just looks MySpace.

3.-SAMANTHA
This is bad. After having some strong weeks, Samantha has fallen and now looks like a cheap taxi driver with a poodle on their head. I am starting to love Samantha more and more but this is weak.

And the show's call outs!
FCO: Alexandra

Bottom 2: Demelza and Samantha
Eliminated: Samantha

And then Demelza won and caused tons of controversy.

This would have been my dream elimination order:
13. Emma (Terrible shot, boring girl, never took a stand out photo so yeah I'd eliminate her here)
12. Belinda (With Emma's hot mess photo out of the group, it's between Belinda and Leiden and although I love Belinda's personality, Leiden has potential to take some good photos.)
11. Jamie (Horrible photo, boring look, has yet to take a stand out photo so buh-bye!)
10. Leiden (Leiden is very limited as in the type of work she can do. This is a pretty shot but minus this shot and her shot last week, her shots have been bad.
9. Alamela (Alamela has potential to do some good work but she rarely used it and she's been given too many chances.
8. Kamila (I think that Kamila is a gorgeous girl and I really think that she was robbed, but I can't really see her shot this week being anything truly fantastic.)
7. Rebecca (Weakest girl of the 8/7 remaining besides Kamila so I'd drop her here)
6. Kristy (Kristy is amazing but I can't picture her being the type to make a standout shot with this shoot)
5. Demelza (Weakest of the 5 and hasn't taken great photos in a while.)
4. Alyce (Alyce is love, but Caris, Alex, and Sam trump her portfolio and look.)
3. Samantha (Samantha's shot was bad this week. I'd expect Caris' shot to be lovely and when everyone is on-par with each other, I have no choice but to eliminate Samantha here.)
2. Alexandra (Consistently great but Caris really trumps her)
1. Caris (She may have her flaws like her body but her portfolio is just lovely and her standout shots really helped me decide that she really should have won.)

Hot Couture Girl

Amazing shoot with amazing result but absolutely terrible elimination.

1.-CARIS
Absolutely fantastic shot. I love Caris' hands here and the face is just divine. My favorite shot of the cycle for sure. This is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo not elimination worthy.

2.-ALEXANDRA
This is so awesome. I love how quirky the shot looks and the angle are just lovely. Another hit from Ms. Fabulous.

3.-SAMANTHA
This is pretty good. I love the face and how confident she looks but the pose is not good since it doesn't show the dress well.

4.-DEMELZA
This is very pretty and I love how classically beautiful Demelza looks but compared to the other three, it's blah.

And the show's call outs!
FCO: Demelza
2. Samantha

Bottom 2: Alexandra and Caris
Eliminated: Caris

Oyster Magazine Shoot

After the lovely shoot last week, this is a step down, but whatever.

1.-SAMANTHA
Best of the week by far. I love the way the light hits Sam's face and how relaxed she looks.

2.-ALYCE
Of course, the week Alyce improves they eliminate her. Anyways, it's a pretty shot. Love how she looks like a princess who dropped something.

3.-CARIS
Caris, like Samantha is really really beautiful and you can tell here, but she looks really washed out.

4.-ALEXANDRA
This is okay. I don't understand why they chose this shot or shot in this angle since Alexandra looks like she's smelling her armpit.

5.-DEMELZA
Nice and relaxed, but her eyes look uneven and like she just farted.

And the show's call outs!
FCO: Samantha
2. Alexandra
3. Demelza

Bottom 2: Caris and Alyce
Eliminated: Alyce

Tigerlily Swimwear on the Beach

So there was a Fiji shoot but it's very blah and I think it was only a challenge but if you want to see it, then click here. Anyways, onto the fabulous Tigerlily shoot!

1.-CARIS
Absolutely amazing. Caris' face looks so sexy and inviting and her eyes are just love. Once again, fantastic!

2.-SAMANTHA
Samantha is doing absolutely nothing spectacular, but the simply natural shoot and the soft expression truly makes this shot love.

3.-ALEXANDRA
Just stunning. Love how Alexandra is laying there with a soft expression with fantastic eye contact. Love this so much.

4.-DEMELZA
I think this is pretty and I love how she kind of looks like a monster rising from the water but I wish that Demelza would a more darker expression...I think it would make the shot stronger.

5.-REBECCA
Rebecca is a gorgeous girl and obviously you can see that but she didn't really do anything in this shot that makes it stand out and unlike Sam, it doesn't work here.

6.-ALYCE
Very pretty, but very MySpace. It's a shame that Alyce has been weak right now since she really did fantastic in the beginning.

And the show's call outs!
FCO: Demelza
2. Samantha
3. Caris
4. Alexandra

Bottom 2: Alyce and Rebecca
Eliminated: Rebecca

Pajama Shoot

Improvement from last shoot I guess but not really amazing.

1.-CARIS
Absolutely amazing. Love how Caris looks like she's saying he's mine, yet her face here looks soft and relax. Gorgeous and huge improvement.

2.-ALEXANDRA
I think this is a cute shot. Love how Alex's face look, and I love how she kind of looks like the pajama queen or something.

3.-DEMELZA
This is pretty much the same thing as Alexandra except I think Alex does it a smudge better.

4.-REBECCA
This is cute but nothing truly great. The pose is nice and shows off Rebecca's curves but the face looks weird.

5.-JAMIE
This is boring and nothing terrific but I think Jamie's face here looks sweet and pretty.

6.-SAMANTHA
This is a pretty shot because Samantha is a pretty girl but that's it. There's nothing truly fantastic about this shot.

7.-ALYCE
This would be ranked 4th if it wasn't that Alyce looked like a cougar. Still, it's not bad...it's just not a good modeling shot for her.

8.-LEIDEN
Same thing as Alyce but slightly worse. I wouldn't really expect Leiden to do good here TBH.

And the show's call outs!
FCO: Caris

5. Rebecca

Bottom 3: Alyce, Jamie, and Leiden
Eliminated: Jamie and Leiden
