1. Lisa

Although Nicole had the best shot, Lisa’s shot is still very beautiful and is the second best. She looks so young and fresh. Her commercial and interview were both some of the best and that combined with this shot easily puts her as my number 1 for the week. She did a stellar job in every aspect and she’s the only girl who did so I agreed with her FCO, she deserved it.

2. Nicole

This was another performance that was not necessarily all around good. Nicole’s interview was a bit too tentative and her commercial was just her smiling while thinking of what to say. If it was just based on that, she’d drop like 3 spots. However, this shot is amazing. Nicole looks stunning, it’s definitely the best shot of the week and it’s no surprise she ended up winning the ad. She looks a bit older, she has a little personality and she’s so much more present than her usual wide-eyed baby doll look. This shot established her as a contender for me I finally got what the judges saw in her.

3. Kim

Just when I had given up on her, Kim delivers this. She did a pretty good job with her commercial and interview. She is eloquent and it shows. This picture is not necessarily the most model-esque but she does look beautiful. Her eyes are gorgeous and I like that it looks slightly vulnerable and soft. I don’t think this is the best angle for her as a whole but it’s alright. She’s one of the two girls who I believe delivered in every aspect. She just didn’t blow me away but it was a great improvement.

4. Jayla

This is yet another shot that just does nothing. Her eyes are pretty but I don’t particularly like the lips and expression. It’s not awful but it’s uninspired to me. Her commercial and interview were good though. Not amazing but good and this photo while uninspired is a bit in the middle of the group so that landed her here.

5. Bre

This is my least favorite photo of Bre. She just looks bored and over it. Although, most of the girls had an issue nailing every part of the brief this week. This brings me to Bre’s commercial and it was my favorite this week and her interview was also one of the better ones. So, 2/3 is not so bad and I think that was enough for her to make it to the middle of my call-out this week.

6. Kyle

This shot is a bit pedestrian. Kyle actually looks less pretty than she typically does, albeit not awful, although her eyes are kind of deer in the headlights. Her commercial and interview were also a bit over the top and so I don’t think she succeeded in any aspect. However, she did not really crash and burn in any aspect either and so that was enough to save her from the bottom 2 this week.

7. Coryn

Yet again, this picture is nowhere near the worst. This is actually one of my favorite shots of the week. Sadly, Coryn’s lack of energy in her commercial and interview brought her down. She also was very unlucky to land in the bottom with Nik and so by default, she was the correct choice for elimination. It’s a bit disappointing because I think Coryn had more to give than some of the remaining girls.

8. Nik

It’s sad to see Nik fall so hard after 4 stellar weeks but she deserved to be in the bottom 2 for this. Her picture is alright, she looks pretty but I feel like she looks a bit nervous and her smile is not super genuine. Her commercial was pretty lackluster and her interview was just fine. Sadly, her overall performance was still the weakest. I agreed with her being in the bottom but considering she has been the strongest and most consistent girl prior to this week, she deserved a second shot.
