And finally, the shot that surpasses Queen Catharina's shot...

1.-QUEEN CATHARINA'S Spider

And now, I'm going to post my top 10 for New Zealand's. Oh I love the cycles that I've done.

Benelux' Cycle 1: The Terrible Models Edition

So it's now time to do the lovely Benelux' and time to turn this awesome cycle into something like Malta's Cycle 1. So here are my top 10 worst shots of the cycle. I'll start with my number 10 and start counting down.

10.-LIANNE'S Spider

9.-ADINDA'S One Foot In The Grave

8.-LIANNE'S End Of Road

7.-TESSA'S ECCO

6.-JUSTINE'S Trash Couture

5.-JUSTINE'S Ecco

4.-MELANIE'S One Foot In The Grave

3.-DENISE'S Mexx

2.-SARAH'S Ecco

And finally, as much as I do love her, this shot is truly terrible...

1.-DENISE'S Bikini Sea

So now I'm done with Benelux' Cycle 1! I just need New Zealand's C1 and I'll start doing my favorite shots of each cycle! Yay!

In The Bikini, In The Sea/The Finale

So, this shoot was not bad, but it wasn't a completely amazing shoot, but it was decent. This was the last shoot in Benelux, so I'll be posting the final 3 group shot and my elimination order.

1.-MAXIME

This is fantastic. I love how sexy and gorgeous Maxime looks here. Her forehead looks strange here, but it's a fantastic shot nevertheless.

2.-ROSALINDE

This is pretty good. I love the confidence coming out of Rosalinde and I think her body looks great. Overall, a pretty good shot.

3.-LIANNE

This is awkward, tense, stiff, unprepared, etc. Not a good shot from Lianne, but on the bright side, at least she wasn't the absolute worst of the week like she normally is for me.

4.-DENISE

This is sooooooooooooooooooooo bad. Her smile here looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad here and she looks like she's leaping in a cheesy way through the meadow (or in this case, in the sea). Probably the worst shot of the cycle.

Call outs from the show:

FCO: Maxime

2. Denise

The End Of The Road

So this shoot was okay, nothing amazing. Elimination...ONE OF THE WORST ELIMINATIONS IN TOP MODEL. Let's just get the terror over with.

1.-ROSALINDE

This is gorgeous. I love how Rosalinde is getting into the car and I love her worried face like she is afraid to be seen.

2.-DENISE

This is gorgeous. Like usual, Denise looks stunning here. There's nothing completely eye-catching about this shot, but it is a gorgeous shot.

3.-QUEEN CATHARINA

ROBBED. ROBBED. ROBBED. ROBBED. ROBBED. ROBBED. ROBBED. ROBBED. ROBBED.Okay, now that I've gone through half of my anger, I really like this shot. It's kind of like Catharina has a broken-down car and is just tired and is kind of saying "What are you looking at?!" I don't really like the way she has her right leg up, but besides that, it's a pretty good shot.

4.-MAXIME

This isn't really that good. I hate to say this, but Maxime looks really stupid. I don't get the hand up in the air and that she lost her foot and she actually looks old which is really surprising since it's Maxime who looks pretty young in every shot.

5.-LIANNE

This is really bad. I hate how old Lianne looks here and the shape she's making with the dress is really strange. On the bright side, I like the Drama in the face, but she looks really old.

Callouts from the show!

FCO: Rosalinde

2. Lianne

3. Maxime

Bottom 2: Catharina and Denise

Eliminated: Catharina (ROBBED, ROBBED, ROBBED, ROBBED, ROBBED, ROBBED, ROBBED)

Up next is a bikini shoot in the sea where there are 2 shots that are good and two shots that are absolutely terrible.

Time To Go Au Natural

So...this shoot was a shoot done along with last shoot in one episode. It was a beauty shoot and a full-body shoot, but I'm only going to do the beauty shot. If you are interested in seeing the whole photoshoot, then click here.

1.-ROSALINDE

Rosalinde is such a gorgeous girl and her face is shown perfectly here. I love how it's a simple shot, but it's not boring. I think this could be a perfect Cover Girl add (sure would beat Krista's).

2.-DENISE

This is stunning. Normally, I don't think Denise's smile works in shots (like last shoot and a shoot that will soon to come), but here it looks absolutely spectacular. Like Rosalinde's I really think this could be a Cover Girl ad.

3.-QUEEN CATHARINA

This is gorgeous. Her eyes look amazing here and I love how Catharina looks so soft and elegant while having such a cool, laid-back look. The only thing I don't like is those neck lines, but besides that...amazing.

4.-MAXIME

This is such a gorgeous shot. Maxime looks so pretty here and expensive. I wish her Spider shot was like that. It would have been amazing.

5.-BIANCA

This is really pretty. Bianca's face looks divine here. I love her bone structure here and how soft her face looks here. I don't like her raised arm though.

6.-LIANNE

This is really pretty, but not really that good. Lianne's eyes, like usual look gorgeous, but like usual, she looks old and she looks like she was caught off guard in this shot.

Gilette Venus Embrace Shoot

So this shoot...was nice, but not terrific. I looked at the close ups, and they actually are better than what I thought, so I'll be posting both. :)

1.-QUEEN CATHARINA

This is lovely. I love how it's very caught in the moment and how soft and romantic this shot is. Another great shot from Catharina.

2.-ROSALINDE

This is a really stunning shot of Rosalinde. Like Catharina, I love how romantic it is. It's overall a great shot.

3.-BIANCA

This is pretty much the same as Catharina's except that there's a little smile in Bianca's face that I really like.

4.-DENISE

This is totally different from the other shots. I love that there's joy in this shot rather than a dreamy stare. It's a little too cheesy though for my likings, but still it's a great shot.

5.-MAXIME

I don't really know what to think of this shot. The full body shot looks so childish like a little girl laying in a bed with her dad which isn't really good. The close up however is an improvement. I love her eyes in the shot.

6.-LIANNE

I don't think that either of these shots are good. Lianne looks really old here. Plus, I think I prefer Denise's cheesiness to Lianne's stiffness. Overall, not good.

Now to the shows callouts:

FCO: Denise

2. Lianne

3. Maxime

4. Rosalinde

Bottom 2: Catharina and Bianca

Eliminated: Bianca

Up next is a simple beauty shoot which was done in the same episode as this shoot. The results were actually good though.

Looking Expensive While Posing With Spiders

Lovely shoot, same concept as ANTM C3's spider shoot , but personally I prefer the execution of Benelux's and the results of America's (except for the Queen's. She easily has the best shot from those two.)

1.-QUEEN CATHARINA

And the queen makes up for her little mis-step last week with a shot that is absolute perfection! She looks so expensive and soft. It's just so amazing!

2.-ROSALINDE

This is lovely. I love that little smirk that Rosalinde has on her face and I love that she didn't get distracted from the spider.

3.-BIANCA

This is amazing. I love how symmetrical this shot is and for the first time I don't think Bianca looks that old. Definitely her best shot.

4.-DENISE

This is a really pretty picture. Like usual, Denise looks gorgeous here and she even looks expensive, I just don't think she looks like a model here.

5.-JUSTINE

This is nice. Like Denise, Justine forgot the model part. She does look expensive, but I don't really think she looks pretty here. Her skin looks nice here (although it may be because of photoshop). Still, it's a good shot.

6.-MAXIME

This isn't really that good. First of all, I hate the cropping in this shot. I would have much preferred to have a shot like the others this week. That right there makes this shot weaker, and I hate the dead eyes/unprepared look on her face.

7.-LIANNE

So, I really love how blue her eyes are here, but besides that I hate this shot. She looks very old and I hate how she crossed her arms like that.
