ELIMINATION
Hello ladies, and welcome to your first elimination ceremony here in Cycle 4 of America's Next Top Model (Reloaded)! Last season Yaya took home the title of ANTM, so who will follow in her footsteps and win our lovely prizes? And let's take a moment to admire those prizes: a 6-page fashion spread in Elle magazine, a contract with FORD models, and a $100,000 contract with Covergirl cosmetics. Now, for your very first photoshoot you ladies were shot by Nigel Barker as edgy, chic fashion aliens taking over the streets of LA. We expected interesting, editorial photos this week, so let's see which aliens take over and which alien gets beamed back up to their home planet. The first name I am going to call is...
KAHLEN! Congratulations Kahlen, you dominated the first week of the competition with a unanimous first call-out from each of the five judges. Your score was 5, which is miles ahead of anyone else.
Runner-up for best photo, which a score almost 5 times higher than Kahlen's, is...
REBECCA! Congratulation Rebecca, you're off to a great start! Your score was 24.
There is a tie for the next spot, so the next names I am going to call are...
SARAH & MICHELLE! Congratulation you two, you both are off to a great start as well with tied scores of 25.
NOELLE! Congratulations, you also had a great score of 27.
CHRISTINA! You were very close to Noelle with a score of 28, congrats!
NAIMA! You were definitely the most polarizing contestant, but you finished with a good start and respectable score of 30. Congrats!
And now comes a significant gap in the scores. The next name I am going to call is...
TATIANA! Congratulations, your score was 42.
KEENYAH! (43)
TIFFANY! (45)
BRANDY! (49)
And the last name before the bottom 2 is...
BRITTANY! You are way better than this photo, so step it up. Your score was 55.
Will Brita and Lluvy please step forward? You are perhaps the most interesting bottom two we could've possibly started with since you are only 1 point apart and you both represent complete opposites. Brita, you have an unquestionable beauty, very classic and sexy and sultry; while Lluvy, you have an unusual beauty, very unique and quirky and eye-catching. However, despite having very distinctive looks, neither of you were able to use them to your advantage in the shoot and produced lackluster photos. Brita, as a more commercial and sexy girl, you really need to push to produce an edgy photo and you didn't. And Lluvy, with the most unique and alienesque look here, the was no reason that you shouldn't have excelled in an alien-themed shoot. One of you scored a point higher than the other though, so the girl who will be staying is...
BRITA! Congratulations Brita, with a score of 63, you are still in the running.
*hugs Lluvy* It sucks to see such an interesting face be the first to go, and while I had faith in you, the other judges didn't. You just need more time and practice to master working your unique look, but with that time and practice I think you could do well. Your final score was 64. Goodbye, and good luck.
