Beach Couture/The Finale

Well in the beginning of the episode, all three of the girls went to go sees for Australian Fashion Week. Clare did amazing and booked all of the shows except one (which was swimwear). Cassi did second best and booked two if I'm correct(I'm pretty sure the reason was the walk/attitude). And Tahnee did the worse and only book the Coca Cola and I'm not sure if Alex Perry was one of the go sees, but she also booked that. Now that I talked about Fashion Week, let's talk about the gorgeous final 3 shoot in the beach.

1.-CASSI
This is amazing and probably the best shot this cycle. I love the serenity in Cassi's face and how creative Cassi was by laying down in the sand to make this shot even more dynamic. This photo is flawless.

2.-CLARE
Another gorgeous shot! I love the vulnerability that Clare has in the beach. It's like she's a runaway bride. It's amazing.

3.-TAHNEE
Tahnee looks absolutely gorgeous and it's kind of like she got dumped by her fiancee on her wedding day and she's taking a walk on the beach in her gown. It's goregeous.

Now here's the amazing group shot and I'll show the full size version rather than the thumbnail:
Gorgeous, right?

FCO: Tahnee
Bottom 2: Cassi and Clare T_T T_T T_T
Eliminated: Clare T_T T_T T_T

Then there was a live finale where the judges evaluate the walk and portfolio and decide with the public of who should win. And the winner was Tahnee.

I am officially done with this cycle! Wooh! Here's my elimination order:

13: Laura T (bad photo + previous modeling=buh bye!)
12: Leah (2 bad photos in a row, OUT! :D)
11: Franky (Rude while getting makeover and photos have been eh)
10/9: Eloise/Georgie (Inconsistency is not good so you're out!/You are so cute, but being cute does not equal model)
8: Laura M. (You have had one fabulous photo, one good one, and three duds. Your time is sadly up)
7: Madison (You have done a wonderful job in this competition, but you're commercial girl and we can see it in you Chanel photo)
6: Tahnee (This photo is gorgeous, but the problem is that the other girls are much better than you performance-wise)
5: Lola (You didn't embody your icon well, and although you have been improving, it isn't enough)
4: Mikarla (You have changed so much in a good way, but the other three girls are stronger)
TOP 3: Clare, Cassi, Adele
3: Adele (Your shot is ethereal and absolutely amazing, but you didn't do as good in the runway challenge as Clare and Cassi, and photo-wise, they were better)
2: Cassi (You have such a long career ahead of you, just make sure you don't let is go away because of your attitude and just so you know, you're my favorite girl this cycle <3)
1: Clare (The entire package and perfect for the prize.)

So I finished putting everything here. Hmm what cycle to write about this time. New Zealand's C1 maybe? Or maybe Benelux? I don't know right now, but I'll definitely write something new tomorrow. Ta-ta!

MySpace Photos In London

The title pretty much sums up how I feel about this shoot. Let's just get this over with. The only positive thing about this episode is that Alice guest judged this episode <3

1.-CLARE
This is a gorgeous shot. It's very cute and flirty and the only shot that actually looks like a fashion image rather than a profile picture on Facebook or Myspace.

2.-TAHNEE
And here's where the MySpace photos begin. Well Tahnee looks gorgeous here, but it's kind of look at me, don't I look hot in front of the Big Ben? Still, it's the best out of the worse.
3.-ADELE
First of all, I can't believe that Adele is wearing a $100,000 dress. That's crazy and what's even worse though is that she didn't make it look like $100,000; she made it look $100, which is not good especially when the guest judge is Ms.Make Everything Look Expensive herself.
4.-CASSI
Like Adele and Tahnee, Cassi looks absolutely gorgeous and had the best performance onset. But this shot is not that good. It's very hanging there looking hot.

Here's the callouts:

FCO: Clare
2. Cassi

Bottom 2: Tahnee and Adele
Eliminated: Adele

Up next is the most amazing shoot in AusNTM. It's stunning. And also my ideal top 2 are in the bottom 2. T_T

Models Turned Celebrity Posers

This shot was all about embodying a character and for this shoot the each represented an icon (eh icon, celebrity same thing). Tahnee was Elizabeth Taylor, Cassi was Victoria Beckham, Clare was Twiggy, Adele was Greta Garbo, and Franky was Grace Jones. Here was the results:

1.-ADELE
This is amazing. I love how elegant and sophisticated Adele looks. I can't believe this shot was bottom 2, it's best of the week for me.

2.-CLARE
Aww this is so adorable! Clare definitely embodies Twiggy in the biggest wide-eyed cutie. Clare got FCO, I wasn't very mad at this.

3.-CASSI
Probably the one where I most see the character. Cassi looks like a rich fashionista which is basically what Victoria is. It's not as great as Adele's or Clare, but it's still fabulous.

4.-TAHNEE
This is by no means bad, it's just very actress-y which is not good for models and her eyes look strange. I do however like how she's got her hands placed; it's very cute.

5.-FRANKY
Looking at this again, it's not as bad as I thought, but it's way too literal, that Franky forgot about the modeling aspect of the photo. Plus this photo doesn't even compare to Xiomara's version. <3

The callouts from the show:

FCO: Clare
2. Tahnee
3. Cassi

Bottom 2: Adele and Franky
Eliminated: Franky

Up next is the London shoot, which should be one of the best shoots of the cycle, but really it's the worst, though there weren't any bad shots funny enough; just not any good ones.

Jump In The Air Like You Just Don't Care

Okay this shoot was a shoot where the girls had to wear designer dresses that would be auctioned off for charity while jumping on a trampoline.
1.-CLARE
I know a lot of people hate this shot, but I love it! Clare looks like an ethereal angel. The dress looks great and yes, the manic eyes work for me.
2.-LOLA
She was eliminated for this? That was stupid. Well first of all Lola looks extremely soft and the dress looks great, plus she's got Barbie toes. The only thing I don't like is the way her legs look, but still, it is NOT elimination-worthy.
3.-TAHNEE
This is gorgeous and probably Tahnee's best shot. I love how serene Tahnee's face here and her legs look pretty good for a "normal-sized" girl. It's a gorgeous shot.
4.-ADELE
This is a gorgeous shot. First off, the dress looks amazing and the face is very relaxed. It's just not as amazing as the others above her.
5.-CASSI
Okay, well just like Adele, this is a gorgeous shot, but the shots above her are better IMO. The only thing I don't like is the face, it's a little weird to me. But besides that, it's a great shot.
6.-FRANKY
This isn't good at all. First off the face is very blah. Plus her pose isn't good and her legs look short and big and she isn't selling this dress=fail.
Here's the callouts on the show:
FCO: Tahnee
2. Clare
3. Cassi
4. Adele
Bottom 2: Franky and Lola
Eliminated: Lola T_T
Next up will be Celebrity Impersonations with an overstayed model finally going home.

Make Alex Perry Proud And Be Expensive

Okay, for those of you who don't know Alex Perry is an Australian designer/judge. He's known for wanting a shot to look expensive rather than cheap. Well this shoot was all about wearing Chanel on a pole in the water. Here were the results.

1.-ADELE
This is amazing, carefree, and perfection. I can't believe Adele could do this on a moving platform above water, it's genius and she definitely looks expensive. One of the best of the cycle.

2.-CLARE
As usual, Clare gives a great shot. First of all, I love the outfit, it's very sophisticated. Clare's pose is obviously simple, but the way that Clare is looking to the right strangely enough makes this shot from boring to great.

3.-LOLA
First of all, Lola looks like a giant- a rich giant. Like Clare, the pose is simple, but the simplicity makes this shot, and the way she's looking ahead rather than straight it the camera, makes this shot even better.

4.-CASSI
Okay, although this shot isn't as great as Adele, Clare, or Lola's, it's still pretty good. First off, Cassi's bone structure looks fabulous and of course Boganista is perfect for Chanel, it's just boring compared to the others, but by no means bad.

5.-LAURA M.
First of all, the way the light is hitting Laura's face is absolutely terrible. Laura's pose is safe, but her face is safe also, so this is just boring, and when you have a deal like Chanel, that's never good.

6.-TAHNEE
This isn't that good of a modeling photo. First, the pose makes Tahnee look as if she's going to fall into the water, plus she isn't selling the clothes. It's a gorgeous photo for art, but when you're trying to sell a label, then this isn't good.

Now the worst,
7.-FRANKY
I guess I'll start with the positives, she looks tall. But her arms look awkward, she has terrible posture, and she's snarling. Not good.

Here's the show's callout:

FCO: Adele Wooh! We continue to agree!
2. Clare
3. Tahnee
4. Lola
5. Cassi

Bottom 2: Franky and Laura M.
Eliminated: Laura M.

Up next is the Trampoline shoot where there's another stupid elimination.
