Swimsuit Shoot

Pretty good shoot, fabulous top 2, only one more shoot left after this...yay!

1.-DARINA
This is a really gorgeous shot.  I love how tall Darina looks here and I think her face kind of resembles of Ivanna from Norway's Cycle 2.

2.-ANI
And back to gorgeous shots.  I think her body looks amazing here and the face is good but I think the hair looks a bit strange.

In The Beach

I didn't really like the shoot so I'm just going to give quick critiques.

1.-ANI
Everything looks good except the face which is really surprising since it's the amazing Ani we're talking about.

2.-DARINA
The face is a bit too much, the movement is nice but I hate baggy pants.

3.-MARIA
Could be a good shot but the face is half asked.

Finnish Goddesses

Love this shoot though I wish it was done a bit differently.  Still, it was gorgeous.

1.-ANI
First of all, like always the face looks amazing.  I love how the dress looks on Ani and I think the while the pose is a bit obvious, it works.

2.-DARINA
Gorgeous once again.  I love how Darina is just laying there as if she owns the place.  I love the dress and her face looks gorgeous.

3.-MARIA
The styling is amazing but I wish that Maria wasn't just standing there.  I feel as though she moved and given a romantic face, the shot would be fantastic and probably my favorite of the week but no, it's just a half asked shot. :(

Bikinis in Turkey

Awesome elimination, so many shoots which I think is pretty awesome.  I liked the simplicity and natural environment in this shoot so let's hurry up and finish the cycle!

1.-ANI
First of all, GORGEOUS scenery.  Despite the amazing background, I think Ani really holds her own.  Her legs look long, her body looks lovely, and her face like always looks amazing.

2.-DARINA
First of all, Darina's face here looks lovely.  I love how she's sitting in the tree as if she sits there all day, everyday.  I think her legs look long and overall it's a great shot.

3.-MARIA
I think Maria looks pretty but she looks 5'6" and her face doesn't look that great.  It's an okay shot.

And Maria was eliminated! But there's two more shoots until we really don't see anymore Maria shots.

Hollywood Movie Stars

This shoot was not good.  I mean I loved the simple idea but the execution was no...

1.-ANU
Of course the only photo of Anu (besides her Fanning shot) that I really love and she gets eliminated for it.  Lovely.  Anyways, I love how Anu's face looks and I think she worked the Old Hollywood look.

2.-DARINA
I love the expression on Darina's face but I hate the hair and I think her skin doesn't look good.  Darina's worst shot so far.

3.-ANI
I love how they went for a more androgynous look with Ani and I think it would work well if it wasn't for her skin.  I had a hard time deciding rather I should rank Ani before Darina for looking gorgeous nonetheless but I think that Darina took a risk that worked.

4.-MARIA
This looks like a 40 year old actress rather than an 18-23 year old.  Not good.

Anu was eliminated.

Bikinis in the Mountains with a Dog

Awesome shoot and the elimination wasn't bad.  It was a double elimination though I wish one of the ones that left stayed.  But at least there's less photos to judge. :P

1.-DARINA
Divine.  Definitely my favorite shot of Darina and maybe even my favorite of the cycle (not sure yet TBH).  I love the wind in the hair, the way she's caressing the dogs, and her powerful face.  Love this so much.

2.-ANI
Ani is really working it and I'm so happy about it! Anyways, this wasn't probably the best shoot for Ani since she's more of an androgynous girl but this is just awesome.  I love her pissed off expression as if someone actually had the nerve to take a photo of her.  Love.

3.-MARIA
This is actually quite shocking.  I mean this isn't on the same level of awesomeness as Darina and Ani but it's a pretty great shot.  I love how Maria looks protective of the dog and I think her face actually looks lovely here.

4.-ANA
So Ana was eliminated which was about time IMO but I actually think this shot is good...not amazing but good.  I think that her face here looks nice though it's nothing amazing and I love how she looks like she's about to attack or something.

5.-MARI
Mari's body here looks absolutely fantastic but her face just looks nervous and awkward.  Still, I don't think Mari should have left for this.

6.-ANU
Meh.  I think that Anu's body looks thick which I think is partly of the angle of the pose and her face looks a bit harsh here.

And Ana and Mari left this shoot.

Fanning Divas

Lovely shoot, worst elimination in Finland's probably, ugh I hate this shoot for that reason.

1.-DARINA

This is lovely.  I love the mask on Darina and how diva-like she looks...like she needs the whole world to spoil her.

2.-MARI

What I love about this shot is the soft elegance.  Mari isn't really doing much but I really love the air of diva that Mari has here.  Everything about this shot is lovely as well.

3.-ANI

This is totally different from the other shots and I really love it.  I love how Ani is getting up as if asking where her handbag or something is.  Really awesome shot once again.

4.-ANU

This is quite good.   I love Anu's face here and how she looks like she has everything in the world.  Definitely one of my favorite shots of Anu.

5.-ANA

Ana's best shot by far.  I love how she is fanning her self and her cool, relaxed expression.  My negative though is that I don't like the Gaga hair color.

6.-MARIA

It's a beautiful shot because of the styling and I think that Maria is adding a little more to the shot but I feel as though she can add a bit more oomph to make the photo really fantastic.  Though it definitely is one of my favorite shots of Maria.

7.-MARJE

Marje's worst shot by far.  I feel as though she's letting the styling doing all of the work and not really adding anything to make the shot special.  It's a nice shot though and DEFINITELY FAR FROM ELIMINATION WORTHY.  URGH!

And....Marje was eliminated. ._.

Beauty Shots

Nice simple shoot with some good shots, some bad...

1.-MARJE
FA-BU-LOUS.  Those eyes are just piercing, it is nice and simple, and those eyes are fantastic if I haven't already said it.

2.-DARINA
Haha this shot is so adorable.  I love how Darina looks like like she's screaming/about to eat someone's head.  So adorable.

3.-ANI

Ani's face=divine.  The make up though is absolutely horrible...she looks sick but her face and eyes and hand placement is just love.

4.-TATJANA

Love.  I love the little wink and how her open eye looks.  I love how it's a simple yet dynamic shot.  Can anyone explain to me how in the world Tatjana was eliminated?!

5.-ANU
So gorgeous but maybe a bit too much photo shop.  I love the seductive look that Anu is giving and I think the red lip looks awesome here.

6.-MARI
This shot of Mari is good.  Like Darina, I love the anger in her face.  It's a really good shot and TBH I'm actually really surprised I ended up ranking this shot this low.

7.-ANA
Pretty...boring.  There's absolutely no intensity in the eyes and she looks like a mall girl.

8.-MARIA
Maria is just not a beauty girl.  I think her eyes look beautiful but there's too much squinting and she just looks washed out rather than fresh.

Poland's Winner!

And my day just gets better and better!  Two shoots, awesome winner...

1.-PAULINA
Gorgeoussss! I love the leg and how she's looking away.  It's not the most fantastic shot but it's a pretty good way to end the cycle.

2.-ALEKSANDRA
Hmm there's something about this I don't like.  I think the pose looks a bit strange and the face looks weird but it's a nice underwater shot I guess.

3.-ANNA
Sorry Anna but no.  Your smile here looks just weird and you look scared.  I wish it was a bit more elegant.

And then the next shoot!

1.-PAULINA
Very glamorous.  Love the hair and confidence.  A lovely cover for the lovely Paulina.

2.-ANNA
I think this is a gorgeous shot of Anna.  Love the hair here but there's nothing truly magnificent about the cover.

3.-ALEKSANDRA
Love the eyes and hair here but this looks like a singer rather than a model.

And then Anna got 3rd place and Paulina WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

And my elimination order!

13. Sonia (Boring photo, very forgettable.  Although Anna and Aleksandra had worse shots, their potential saves them.)
12. Marta (She's one of my least favorite girls and her photo this week was really bad so yeah there you go.)
11. Nicole (This is a really stiff shot and she hasn't been able to really impress.)
10. Zuzanna (The weakest here, I don't know where else to put her.)
9. (I'm not adding Magdalena since she was Nicole's replacement and I already eliminated Nicole.) Weronika (Minus her nude, she has yet to take a truly fantastic shot.  She was the worst of the week by far so...)
8. Paulina Pszech (She had some good shots and she really transformed after her makeover.  I think she would have done good but not maybe in this shoot.)
7. Pamela (I think Pamela would have an okay shot here but nothing truly fantastic so I cut her here)
6. Anna (Anna has taken some lovely shots but she's really inconsistent and her commercial was my least favorite.)
Double elimination here.
5. Emilia (Emilia was robbed but I can't really see a truly amazing photo this week.)
4. Aleksandra (Aleksandra had my favorite shot that week but I prefer my top 3.)
3. Paulina Papierska (Love.  So happy she won but I think that Katarzyna and Beata had stronger portfolios.)
2. Beata (Amazing girl, so robbed, such an amazing portfolio but Katarzyna is one of my favorite girls in Top Model and she hasn't taken one bad photo in the comp so she wins.)
1. Katarzyna (Amazing, love, fabulous.)

ANWARDATTI OWNS!

So I'm super super happy right now since my current favorite girl in all ANTM just won with an amazing portfolio and a fantastic prize.  Yes, I'm talking about Ms. Fabulous Ann Ward!  Onto Cover Girl

1.-ANN
And the fabulous Ann finishes off the cycle with a fabulous photo.  Love how this isn't the typical Cover Girl photo where it's all smiley and all.  I think it really shows off Ann's beauty and sells the make up well.

2.-CHELSEY
I think this is a stunning photo.  It's totally different to Ann's in a way but is still stunning.  I love how the hair covers up the frame and how she is truly smizing but I prefer Ann's photo.

And then Ms. Fabulous Ann WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! Favorite winner by far in ANTM! Can't wait to see her cover and editorial in Beauty In Vogue and editorial in Vogue Italia! Ah so happy!  Anyways, here's my elimination order :)

14. Sara (She has the least potential in my eyes for this cycle and the worst photo so...yeah.)
Makeover elimination was kind of stupid so I'll just do a double elimination here.
13/12. Terra (I can't see her truly giving a fantastic photo here and she whined in the makeovers and had a lackluster photo last week.) and Liz (I feel as though Liz is just boring.  She doesn't stand out with her makeovers and she has yet to take a truly great photo while everyone minus Kacey and Lexie has.)
11. Kacey (Horrible photo, boring look, boring portfolio...)
10. Lexie (Lexie has yet to truly impress me besides her personality.  She has a unique look but she photographs really strange minus her bullying photo.)
9. Rhianna (I can't really see Rhianna doing well here at all.  It could be an okay shot, but nothing truly amazing.)
8. Kayla (I do not like Kayla's photo this week at all.  She has taken some gorgeous shots in the beginning but in these couple of weeks, she has been weak.)
7. Kendal (I don't really think Kendal's commercial would have been strong.  She would have had a nice commercial like Esther, but nothing truly fantastic.)
6. Chris (I love Chris and I think her portfolio is fantastic but I really could see Esther and Anamaria doing amazing here and honestly, Chris is one of the weakest girls at this point.)
5. Esther (Robbed IMO.  I think Esther's photo this week would have been stunning but maybe not as strong as the rest.  She has taken some amazing photos but I think that everyone else in the top 5 is stronger.)
Skipping double elimination here just cuz.
4. Anamaria (Sosososo robbed.  Worst elimination of the cycle by far.  I think Anamaria really could have made it far with these shoots.  There's really no shoot minus the Luchador shoot that she really couldn't do.)
3. Jane (It was hard choosing who should be in the top 2 but overall I feel that Jane improved, but Chelsey was more consistent and has a better knowledge of the industry.)
2. Chelsey (Super consistent, but she has her age against her and I just prefer Ann's portfolio and look.)
1. Ann (Amazing, superb, love...anything else I need to say?)
