#1 – Olivia

I am again unsure why they released a different shot. This time however, unlike with Chloe, the shot released is far superior. While the one shown still didn’t warrant bottom 3, this shot is absolutely gorgeous. Olivia’s eyes are absolutely hypnotic; never have I appreciated the shape of her face more. The way she is interacting with the man, but keeping her eyes off them gives the shot life. A story is just created from such a minor detail. The watch too is in prime position. Olivia is proving her unique look can easily be translated into actual modelling jobs.

#2 – Jennifer

I have no clue why Jennifer got stuck with such a wide shot; there is no way she could be expected to make the watch stand out. But ignoring that, her body looks incredible here. The curve of her back is beautiful, and the popped up leg gives some variation to the line. Her expression could have been stronger, it just looks slightly dazed. Though her bone-structure is softly gorgeous. She is definitely made for commercial jobs.

#3 – Tallulah

This shot was my instant favourite, and there is still something undeniably gorgeous about her face here. But the shot just feels cluttered. With both her hands playing with different things, and her eyes looking off to the side, the attention is drawn away from the watch. It just gets lost in the shot.

#4 – Alannah

I am still incredibly wary over this being the best shot for Alannah. I mean she was the favourite of the client, this is just not possible. The dress is actually not doing wonders for her body, the way she is arching her back is making her stomach stick out slightly. Her face too just looks a bit dazed, and the judges were right, there is a little bit too much masculinity. I wouldn’t say it looks full on drag queen, but if it were, it would be one pretty drag queen.

#5 – Simone

After 5 weeks of sailing through in my top 2, Simone has finally fallen. I am not a massive fan of this shot. Firstly, the styling ages here completely. She kind of looks like a middle-aged socialite. The arm position feels clunky too. The one showing the watch is fine, but the other seems superfluous. Maybe had she put it around the guys next it would seem so natural, but it just seems forced like Chloe’s shot.

#6 – Chloe

I don’t know why they released a different shot from the one shown on the show, but it doesn’t really matter. Neither were that good. This shot just feels incredibly cliché, with the pose feeling so forced just to display the watches. I mean no one sits with their arms on that; then with the whole wide-eyed stare, and open mouth, it just gives it an incredibly cheap, catalogue vibe. Plus the way she is leaning over makes her look very short. Just not a great shot all around.

#7 – Bianca

I was sad to see Bianca go. Not only did she just seem like such a nice girl, but she was a pretty strong model. If this was actually her first shot (and with having seen her on set, I kind of believe it is), then she deserved to leave. The pose doesn’t feel bad, but with the expression on her face the whole thing is cheesy. I am not a fan of eyes being rolled so far to the side; in acting based shoots it is a bit more understandable, but here it kind of looks like a poster for some cheesy porno.
