Snow Queens

So basically this shot was about selling lingerie in the snow and it was a pure win shoot since I pretty much loved every single shot. The elimination though, BAN PLEASE.

1.-JESSICA
Definitely my favorite shot of Jessica. It's so stunning and I really love how her face looks here and how she kind of looks like a princess here. This is amazing.

2.-KATHRYN
And once again, another hit from Kathryn! She looks absolutely stunning her and I love her innocent face here. She looks expensive and gorgeous here and I really think this is absolutely amazing.

3.-KELSEY
This is such an awesome shot. I love how regal yet soft Kelsey looks here. Some people are comparing her to Angelea but I don't really see it but I don't really like the make up on her here.

4.-JOANNA
This is such a stunning shot of Joanna. I love how regal she looks are if she's the queen of the snow. I think her face looks stunning but her body looks kind of strange. Still I really love this shot.

5.-SOPHIE
This is definitely a pretty shot of Sophie and I love how relaxed she looks as if she doesn't care if she's in freezing cold weather or in 100 degrees weather, but there's something about her face that's always irked me in this shot. Still, it's a great shot.

6.-AMANDA
I really hate putting Amanda's shot last and I would have never in a million years have eliminated her here but I don't really think this shot is more than pretty and I wish Amanda would do more to make this shot more fantastic.

FCO: Sophie
2. Kathryn
3. Jessica
4. Amanda

Bottom 2: Kelsey and Joanna
Eliminated: Joanna who was robbed. T_T

Up next is yet another amazing shoot and yet another terrible elimination.

The Animal Lovers

Well, at first I really didn't like the shoot but I actually really like it a lot and there's some shots that are amazing that came out of it and a fair elimination, so I'm not mad.

1.-KATHRYN
Absolutely amazing. Love how delicate Kathryn looks here and I really love the serenity in this shot. Please send this to Vogue like now.

2.-AMANDA
So turns out that Amanda is posing with a pig, lol. I honestly would have never guessed that, but anyways it's a pretty great shot. I really love how she looks very diva-like while holding the pig and her body looks fantastic.

3.-JOANNA
This is just awesome. I love Joanna's intimidating stare like if you mess with her, her snake will put a curse on you or something; it's really an amazing shot though.

4.-JESSICA
I know that this maybe an unpopular opinion but I really like this shot. I prefer the uncropped version, but I think her body looks amazing, her face looks adorable, and I love the interaction with the dog. Hate the beret though.

5.-KELSEY
This is a pretty awesome shot of Kelsey. Like Joanna's, the stare makes the shot. It intimidates you and I think her face looks amazing here. I hate how the shot was cropped, but obviously that's not her fault.

6.-BRITTNEY
So Brittney got eliminated here and she definitely needed to leave, but this shot is pretty good. Body looks amazing, face looks pretty nice, love the color scheme, but there's a huge question mark on her face which really brings it down for me. Still, it's definitely Brittney's best shot.

7.-SOPHIE
This isn't good like whatsoever. Sophie looks like some mother who is cleaning out her kid's goldfish bowl. And yeah, I do find it kind of funny that her wild animal was a goldfish. Obviously, same goes to Jessica.

And show's call outs!

Up next is a lingerie in snow shoot with awesome results.

Cover Girl and Finale!

So this was the finale where Krista and Raina battled it out in an Anna Sui fashion show and Cover Girl. Now here it goes!

1.-RAINA
Gorgeous shot of Raina and one of my favorite Cover Girl shots in ANTM. I love how approachable Raina looks here and I think her looks really work for her here. This would be an amazing ad.

2.-KRISTA
Well, I'll start with the positives and say that Krista's skin looks nice here but her eyes really don't have much expression in them and I don't think Krista looks very approachable here and I don't think she looks that fresh.

And then Krista won which was kind of surprise TBH even after her getting 4 FCO's in a row (yeah you can call me strange but I was hoping for a dark horse winner). And here is my elimination order!

13. Gabrielle (Gabrielle was amazing at casting and for knowing who Freja Beha Erichsen is but her look was quite forgettable and while I still love her personality, I have to agree and eliminate her here)
12. Angelea (Angelea had one of the worse shots of the week in both of the weeks that she has been here. Unfortunately, I must bid adieu)
11. Ren (I loved Ren, but she pretty much quit this week so :/ )
10. Tatianna (Tatianna is love but she doesn't have a strong look and her photo this week was dreadful and her past performance can't save her)
9. Naduah (Naduah has a very unique look that took her far but besides her Vampires which I would guess to be fantastic, she has yet to impress with photos)
8. Brenda (I really didn't like Brenda whatsoever this cycle just since she took horrible/great photos and didn't look like a model whatsoever. I originally eliminated her where I have Ren but since Ren quit, Brenda has a free ride from me.)
7. Jessica (Dull photos, dull look. Although I thought she was pretty and took some nice photos, she's easily the weakest of the 7 remaining)
6. Anslee (It pains me to eliminate Anslee here since I thought her portfolio was pretty good overall but I just don't see her doing that well here)
5. Simone (Simone is easily one of the most modelesque girls this cycle next to Alex, but I just don't think she would have given a strong photo this week)
BTW I'm not doing a double elimination just cuz.
4. Krista (I would expect Alasia's shot to be the worst that week, but Krista is the weakest photographically so I would drop her here)
3. Alasia (Alasia is far from modelesque, but like Anslee her portfolio is pretty great minus her first two shots)
2. Alexandra (Alex killed it overseas and she is easily the girl who looks the most like a model but overall, Raina was a little stronger although Alex is still love.)
1. Raina (Raina may have the body of a linebacker, but her portfolio overall was strong so yeah I'd give Raina the win)

Up next will be time to finish Australia's Cycle 6! Yay!

Forget Pretty, It's Ugly-Ugly

Lovely shoot; loved 3/4 shots so that's pretty awesome right there and the elimination was absolutely terrible/good at the same time.

1.-ALEXANDRA
Fantastic shot of Alex and definitely my favorite of the cycle. I love how she's playing with her fingers and just giving a strong stare. Amazing.

2.-RAINA
Awesome shot; Raina really went for ugly-pretty and I love how she's kind of in her own world and looking at the camera as if it's disturbing it. It's a pretty great shot.

3.-KRISTA
Well, this is a pretty awesome but like the majority of Krista's portfolio, it's amazing...if you cover up the face. I really do love the shot though I don't get the major OMG AMAZING that the panel had for this shot.

4.-ANGELEA
So Angelea really tried to go for ugly-pretty but I think that this shot is really terrible. The expression is pretty bad and I think that she makes the dress look really strange. And what's up with the jean jacket?

And show's call outs!
FCO: Krista

Bottom 3: Raina, Alexandra, and Angelea
Eliminated: Alexandra and Angelea

Up next is *cues the girls voices during panel when Tyra announces the winning prizes* COVERGIIIIIIRL! and the finale! :D

In The Shadows

Nice shoot, nice results, not that great of an elimination but it wasn't a terrible week TBH.

1.-ALEXANDRA
Absolutely stunning shot of Alexandra; I love the serenity in the face and Alex really does look stunning here. I love the fabric used also for the shadows and yeah, I think this is a really gorgeous shot.

2.-JESSICA
Yeah I know that this isn't the official photo, but I think it's much prettier in color. If you want to see the original, then here. I think that next to Jessica's Faux this is probably my favorite shot of her. I love innocent she looks here and I think that her face really looks lovely here and not dull.

3.-RAINA
I'm not sure if it's an unpopular opinion or not, but I really love this shot of Raina. I love how dark and mysterious she looks here and I think her face looks lovely here.

4.-KRISTA
Stunning shot; love how regal Krista looks here and I love the black and white effects and I love how there's a sense of hope in Krista's face. There's something though that's not working for me that I can't put my finger on.

5.-ANGELEA
This is a really pretty shot of Angelea and I really don't have anything terrible to say about this shot. I love the peacefulness she has in this shot although I wish she wouldn't squint that much. Still, it's a nice shot but I prefer the other shots this week.

FCO: Krista
2. Alexandra
3. Angelea

Bottom 2: Raina and Jessica

Up next is probably my favorite shoot of the cycle with some lovely shots.

Mary Had A Little Lamb

Awesome shoot, not that great of an elimination though I'm not terribly mad about it.

1.-RAINA
Gorgeous shot of Raina and definitely my favorite shot of her. I love the drama in this shot like she is about to run away from something. The dress looks amazing here and I think her face looks fantastic here.

2.-ALEXANDRA
And this is the beginning of Alexandra's fantastic overseas portfolio. This is just lovely; I really love what she did to the dress since she looks about 7'0" tall. I love her face here also.

3.-KRISTA
Pose and dress look fantastic here but her face really looks "mature" here. I still think it's a great shot but the face just brings it down a lot.

4.-JESSICA
This shot is pretty great. Love the movement of the dress and the face looks very nice. I just personally prefer the three shots above this one. But still, it's a really good shot.

5.-ALASIA
This is a pretty nice shot; I love the drama here and I think that Alasia's face looks nice, but the problem is that she isn't showing the garment off at all.

6.-ANGELEA
This shot of Angelea is very nice; I really like the way the dress looks here. There's nothing really terrible about this shot, I just prefer the shots above her.

FCO: Krista

Bottom 2: Jessica and Alasia
Eliminated: Alasia

Up next is a shoot with Tyra where they have to find the light in shadows. Strange shoot, but I like it. :)

Hair Wars

Really cool shoot although the elimination was absolutely terrible to me although tons of people were extremely happy about it. T_T

1.-ALASIA
This is such an amazing shot of Alasia and definitely my favorite shot of her. I love the diva attitude Alasia has here and I think that she shows the best of such a strange dress.

2.-RAINA
Such an adorable shot of Raina. I love how she's in the air and kind of looks like a birdie. Plus her face looks divine here.

3.-KRISTA
Probably my favorite shot of Krista. Love the movement here and I think that her face looks gorgeous. Also the styling looks amazing on Krista.

4.-JESSICA
The movement is nice, pose is adorable, but I don't think this shot is memorable.

5.-ANSLEE
So yeah Anslee was eliminated here and while I don't think she looks like a model whatsoever, I did enjoy her portfolio and think she was robbed (surely that's an unpopular opinion). Anyways the photo is nice but I don't like that she isn't doing anything though. But I do love the close up.

6.-ALEXANDRA
Definitely Alex's weakest shot. She looks like some 40 year old school teacher which obviously isn't good. At least she looks tall though.

7.-ANGELEA
Yeah this is terrible. Arms in the air don't work and the face looks terrible. Worst part though was that she was called second for this. D:

Up next is an editorial shoot and it's one of the best shoots, if not the best shoot of the cycle!

Easy, Breezy, Beautiful

Probably one of the weaker sets of Cover Girl in ANTM along with Cycle 8 but hey what can you do about it?

1.-KRISTA
Not the most amazing Cover Girl photo ever but I do think it's the most gorgeous of the bunch. I think that Krista looks stunning here and her smile really looks believable here. She may not look extremely fresh (like someone like Frida Gustavsson or even like Holland's Cycle 4 Patricia) but I do think that she does look younger than normal. So bravo Krista for giving a gorgeous shot after having a few weeks of mediocrity.

2.-ANGELEA
This is such a gorgeous shot of Angelea. I love that she looks sophisticated and friendly here. My negative is that it's not a really memorable shot but it's definitely the best of the worst.

3.-RAINA
I'm going to start with the negatives first since there are a few. I think that from what we see, Raina's body looks absolutely terrible, her face looks extremely photo shopped but obviously everyone had their fair share of it, but it's extremely visible here. Anyways, she looks stunning and I think she sells the make up and photo shop well.

4.-ANSLEE
This shot is pretty cute and flirty. I love the little smirk on Anslee's face although I don't like the little hair twirl. Still, it's a nice shot.

5.-ALASIA
This is such a beautiful shot of Alasia and she definitely looks cute and commercial, but the problem is that she doesn't look like a model rather than a teenager in a subway. Still, she looks pretty.

6.-ALEXANDRA
Everything about this shot is nice and pretty minus the uneven eyes which brings this shot down A LOT. I would have probably ranked it 2nd if there wasn't a problem with the eyes.

7.-JESSICA
This is really boring and it doesn't really look like a commercial shot but more like a profile pic with overtly photo shop of a pretty girl going to the club which I kind of find ironic since Jessica is the most commercial girl of the bunch.

8.-BRENDA
This shot is boring and doesn't really look like a commercial model. I don't even think Brenda looks fresh here; sadly she deserved to go here.

PS sorry if I came off very rude, I just never liked this cycle. :/ But I do like the next shoot and overseas shoots so the next couple of shoots should be great. :D

Street Style

Nice shoot although I do think this is one of the weaker shoots of the cycle but still it was good.

1.-AMANDA
Another amazing shot from the amazing Amanda herself. This is lovely; I really love how stunning Amanda looks here and how caught in the moment this shot is.

2.-KATHRYN
Gorgeous shot of Kathryn once again; I love how she kind of looks like an actress on a red carpet or something and I really think that she caught the light well and I actually think the up the nose angle works here so kudos to Kathryn.

3.-KIMBERLY
This is probably my favorite shot of Kimberly; I really think that it's such a gorgeous shot. I love how androgynous yet feminine Kimberly looks here and I think her profile looks great here.

4.-KELSEY
Probably my favorite outfit next to Kimberly's of the shoot and I think that Kelsey truly rocks it here and still looks amazing herself. Her eyes look a little strange here but I still really love this shot.

5.-JOANNA
This shot is really hot. Joanna looks so amazing here and I love the very relaxed feel that she has in this shot and it really is a gorgeous shot. There's something that does irk me about this shot, but I still think it's a gorgeous shot.

6.-JESSICA
This is a huge step-down from Jessica but I do think that despite that it's a nice shot despite that her eyes look quite wonky and it's not Jessica's best. :\

7.-BRITTNEY
This is pretty as usual, but there's nothing exciting about this shot like usual. Just looks like a socialite walking down the street.

8.-SOPHIE
And this is when Sophie starts looking like a 30 year old mom. That makeover screwed Sophie over and I think it shows here since she looks like a mother picking up cupcakes for her kids and smiling to the camera. Eh at least she looks pretty.

And the show's call outs!
