Here's the breakdown of Amber's score for the week:

Sophie's scoring: + 5 (walkstyle) + 1 (placement in challenge) + 1 (photo performance) + 10 (relationship score) = 17 points

Babbette's scoring: + 5 (walkstyle) + 1 (placement in challenge) + 1 (photo performance) + 1 (Closer From Happy Memories sentiment gained)+ 15 (relationship score) = 23 points

Fads' scoring: + 5 (walkstyle) + 1 (placement in challenge) + 1 (photo performance) + 21 (relationship score) = 28 points

Izzy's scoring: + 5 (walkstyle) + 1 (placement in challenge) + 1 (photo performance) + 47 (relationship score) = 54 points

Victor's scoring: + 5 (walkstyle) + 1 (placement in challenge) + 1 (photo performance) + 1 (positive first impression) + 21 (relationship score) = 29 points

And with a total of 151 points this week, Amber Wragges was eliminated and no longer in the running to becoming SimNation's Next Top Model.

In the bottom two this week: Amber and Kita.

Kita was the girl with the highest scoring photo, but did NOT win this week, and she and her fellow judges were disappointed in her. She'd won challenges two weeks in a row, and her photo was the best this week, and yet... She seemed to have dropped. Is she starting to struggle?

Amber also had the best photo last week. But the week before, she had been in the bottom two, just like tonight. It's obvious that she has the ability and the talent to do well in this competition, but maybe last week was simply a fluke and this is asking too much of her.

And so, the contestant NOT eliminated this week is...

Kita Pereiro! She's shown more potential that Amber over these last three weeks, so the judges want to see how far she can go from here.

Here's the breakdown of Kita's score for the week:

Sophie's scoring: + 1 (walkstyle) + 2 (placement in challenge) + 5 (photo performance) + 1 (Deeply Connected sentiment gained) + 48 (relationship score) = 57 points

Babbette's scoring: + 1 (walkstyle) + 2 (placement in challenge) + 5 (photo performance) + 12 (relationship score) = 20 points

Fads' scoring: + 1 (walkstyle) + 2 (placement in challenge) + 5 (photo performance) + 32 (relationship score) = 40 points

Izzy's scoring: + 1 (walkstyle) + 2 (placement in challenge) + 5 (photo performance) + 26 (relationship score) = 34 points

Victor's scoring: + 1 (walkstyle) + 2 (placement in challenge) + 5 (photo performance) + 1 (positive first impression) + 18 (relationship score) = 27 points

For a total of 178 points.

The judges had finished their deliberation. With the girls standing back on their stage, Sophie began to call them forward in order from best photo of the week to the bottom two.

Sophie stated that winner of SNTM this week did not have the best scoring photo--in fact, she had the worst scoring photo! But her ability to get and keep your attention no matter where she is in the room as well as her extremely personable personality is causing her to outshine everyone else in this competition so far.

Here's the breakdown of the winning contestant's score for the week:

Sophie's scoring: - 2 (walkstyle) + 6 (placement in challenge) - 1 (photo performance) + 79 (relationship score) = 82 points

Babbette's scoring: - 2 (walkstyle) + 6 (placement in challenge) - 1 (photo performance) + 33 (relationship score) = 36 points

Fads' scoring: - 2 (walkstyle) + 6 (placement in challenge) - 1 (photo performance) + 57 (relationship score) = 60 points

Izzy's scoring: - 2 (walkstyle) + 6 (placement in challenge) - 1 (photo performance) + 45 (relationship score) = 48 points

Victor's scoring: - 2 (walkstyle) + 6 (placement in challenge) - 1 (photo performance) + 1 (positive first impression) + 1 (sentiment gained) + 55 (relationship score) = 60 points

And for a total of 286 points this week, the highest scoring contestant of the week was...

Gena Bristow!

Order of contestants (except for bottom two):

Gena

Hilda

Elise

Reyna

Here are the extra (uncropped) photos from the girls' photoshoot. These are not their chosen shots; those were shown during the judging panel.

Hilda had a total of 3 photos, so these are her other two. (I didn't realize the plant was clipping through the bridesmaids until I finished taking the photos, and I didn't have the energy to redo everything, so oops.)

Elise had a total of 3 photos, so these are her other two.

Reyna had a total of 3 photos, so these are her other two.

Amber had a total of 2 photos, so this is her other one.

Kita had a total of 2 photos, so this is her other one. Bold move to actually kiss the model you met 2 minutes ago and who's married like 4 other girls before you!

Gena had a total of 6 photos (4 from her charisma skill + 2 from winning the challenge), so these are her other five. She balanced between silly/realistic wedding photos to more model-esque poses all throughout. I fear that may have acted against her in her scoring...

The contestants were once again gathered in the Judge’s Room for the judging panel and subsequent elimination. The girls stood on a small stage while one of them was called to the front. The judges, Sophie Couture, Babbette Couture, Izzy Fabulous, Pootie Fads, and guest judge this week, Victor Feng, began to judge each contestant.

The best photo from their photoshoot was displayed on the wall. The photo’s qualities were now scored, and the judges questioned the contestant. Relationships between the judges and each contestant were rescored. The girls were then removed from the room while the judges deliberated.

Elise's photo this week was deemed decent! While she's the focal point of the photo, her pose isn't as eye-catching as it should have been.

Amber's photo this week was deemed fine! The viewer's eye tends to look at Gena in the background before it looks at Amber.

Reyna's photo this week was deemed good! Reyna looks gorgeous here, but her pose unfortunately hides most of her body.

Hilda's photo this week was deemed good! She looks amazing, and while her gaze toward her "husband" is perfect for this theme, as a whole, the photo just doesn't call for a perfect score.

Gena's photo this week was deemed bad! The pose doesn't quite fit the wedding/love theme of the photoshoot, and because of that, the bridesmaids in the background outshine her.

Kita's photo this week was deemed ideal! This photo could definitely be seen on the cover of a wedding dress company or on a wedding venue's website.

Day 6 is Leisure Day.

Gena had a prize to attend, and she chose to bring her BFF Elise with her! Gena and Elise were introduced to Lily Feng, and everyone ate their delicious meals while conversing about the girls' interests in the modelling world.

Day 5 of the week is Photoshoot Day! The theme of the photoshoot:

IN FOCUS

When the girls arrived at the studio, they found Izzy styling Sophie. The two explained the day's photoshoot: to stand out.

Each contestant will be "getting married" to the male model on set while three of their castmates pose behind them. The bride must ensure that she is the center of attention and that the focal point of the entire photo is on her.

No photoshoot spoilers from me! So here's an outtake where I loaded into the lot and somehow everyone was lined up outside like this for some reason lmao

Day 4 is another skill-building day.

No one really stayed focused on their skills... Ugh.

Amber and Reyna played a game of chess.

Elise angrily swam around the pool.

Amber told a dramatic story to Gena.

Kita and Gena became Good Friends.

Reyna didn't learn from her previous mishap and decided it was a great idea to put her face directly into the grill. 👍
