4. Elyse

When I first look at this shot im in love with it. Elyse face is beautiful in this shot and it shows Elyse knows how to work her face and I like the pose too. I think the angles she picked are pretty cool and i like the way she’s touching the wall with her hand. So why am i only ranking this photo 4th? Well the point of this photo was to sell the swimwear and i feel like she’s kind of hidden the product a bit with the post she chose even if i do like it. Overall this is a really good shot it’s just not perfect for the concept.

06. Ebony

I really like that Ebony went for a total different approach from last week’s photoshoot, even with a similar concept. She was showing off her badass strong side and now she went for a more approachable and fresh look, mostly due to her genuine smile. While I really like the positive energy she’s bringing, this photo is lacking in the technical area ; the face is at a wrong angle, and her body is a bit weak, with to much tension in her shoulders. Her body also looks somewhat greasy, which is kinda disturbing if you ask me, but down to the styling more than her abilities I guess.

8. Kesse (Average: 4.5)

Not all of what makes this photo bad is Kesse’s fault. The styling was awful, and the belt was unnecessary. However, the pose is Modelling 101 and the face is like a very much downgraded version of the one she had last week. Overall, it’s a bad photo, but not as bad as the next photo in my bottom 2.

9. Katie (Average so far: 7)

Katie’s face. Ugh. It’s like she has no idea how to model. Not gonna lie, I’m not sure Katie was truly the weakest link left, but this awful photo easily justifies her elimination. Bye.

1. Shannon

From the bottom to the top. Shannon is killing it with this photo. Last week her face looks zombie but this week her face is sexy and strong and i love the slightly pouty mouth too. I also think her body is perfect for this kind of swimwear. Overall this is probably my favorite shot of Shannon this cycle and this was a well deserved first call out especially considering how much she improved from last week.

2. Ebony

I didn’t reemember Ebony being this strong on the show but this girl is killing it so far. This is yet again another great shot of Ebony. Once again I love the confidence and happy expression she’s giving in the face. Most girls you could tell were uncomfortable with this shoot but i don’t see a hint of that with Ebony. Her body has also photographed very well in this shot too. She created some slight curves with her body that I think work really well. Ebony proves that you don’t need to do crazy posing to sell swimwear. My only critique is the position of the swimwear is a bit awkward but that’s not really her fault. This girl is on a roll

3. Nicole

If I was solely raning of body this would be Number 1. Her body is stunning in this shot and she is selling the swimwear really well. I also like the innocent vibe she’s giving off with her pose. My problem with this shot is the face. She looks 10 years older than her natural age in this shot and she looks a bit like she’s in pain. It’s the face that stops me from ranking this first

5. Katie

I will never understand why Katie was the 2nd girl eliminated. Both of her photos I thought were good and she had a lot of potential. Anyways onto this shot I like it overall. Her body is great in this shot and she is one of the girls who sold the swimwear the best this week, She was a bit less sexy this week and I think it worked better for her. My only critique are the arms. They look a bit uneven to me. I do think this shot while good is a bit forgettable which is why i can’t rank it any higher. Still I thought her elimination was absurd since there were clearly way weaker girls left and both of her shots while not perfect were good starting shots.
