1. CariDee 
CariDee keeps on dominating! Her black & white shot is definitely one of my favorites of the cycle. It’s absolutely sensational. There’s so much energy in the way she’s gripping her own shoulders, and her eyes are so haunting and powerful. I can almost hear her growling. The romance cover is another strong shot as well. I believe her connection with Fabio. I expected CariDee to be too sexy, but she looks so gentle and almost melancholy. I think her pose is a little stiff, but it’s still a great picture overall.

2. Melrose

Melrose tried way too hard in the black & white photo, but I still really like it. Her face is stellar; the head tilt, her slight inhale, and glaring eyes are great. However, the claw hands are so contrived and weaken the shot. Melrose had the best romance cover in my eyes. Her chemistry with Fabio is fantastic, and she’s bringing so much sensuality. Her face is so stunning and sexy; the inhale is amazing. Her pose hasn’t gone over the line into sleazy territory. This is such a gorgeous, intimate shot.

3. Anchal

Anchal’s eyes are super powerful in her black & white shot and her bone structure looks great. It’s a strong shot, but it’s a little forgettable for me. However, her romance cover is amazing! You can tell that she and Fabio had great chemistry, and I love how she’s working her curves confidently. Her pose is super sexy but she’s balancing it out with a more gentle face.

4. Michelle

Michelle took a risk in her beauty shot that paid off. Her picture is super inventive and she’s brought a seductiveness in addition to the evil vibe that the shoot called for. The romance cover is a little bland though. Her face is gorgeous, but I can tell that she was uncomfortable from her body language.

5. Amanda

Both of Amanda’s photos are pretty good, but I’m still confused as to why she got the FCO from Tyra. Her beauty shot is more subtle than most of the other girls, but still intense. I think her hands look too tentative though. Amanda’s face in her novel cover is brilliant. She looks so serene and gentle with just a touch of sex appeal. However, her pose is super stiff and she’s lost her neck which really drags her shot down.

6. Eugena

Eugena’s black & white shot is probably her best up to this point. I love how she’s lifted her chin, the parted lips, and the power in her stare. She really embodied the evil concept well. Her romance novel cover is majorly disappointing though. The long shot looks decent due to her body language, but her face is so disconnected and she looks a bit lost.

7. Jaeda

Jaeda’s beauty shot might be her best shot throughout the competition. Her bone structure is crazy and even without the contacts her intensity would be superb. That shot saved her from the bottom spot because she had the worst romance cover. Her expression is pure discomfort and she has her head too far back. My eyes go to Fabio a lot more than Jaeda.

8. Brooke

Brooke had the weakest overall set of photos, plus her portfolio wasn’t exactly anything special so I can’t protest her elimination too much. Although sending her home on her graduation night seemed a bit mean. Brooke’s beauty shot is actually quite good, but it’s the weakest in a batch of stellar photos. She’s too commercial for such a dark concept and I don’t find it convincing enough. The romance cover is a bit better. I love her pose, but once I go to the closeup her face looks more lost/uncomfortable than desperate/sad.
