FINAL JUDGINGElle: Hello ladies. You two have survived the entire competition and have made it here to the finale so you should be proud of how your have performed in this competition. This week you had two major tasks. The first was your Vogue Paris cover and then you walked for Louis Vuitton. Karlie, you were called first last week, so you're first.
Karlie: Let's take a look at your Vogue cover, shall we? *
this pops up on the screen* Wow, Karlie. This is absolutely stunning. I can totally see it on the cover of Parisian Vogue. The pose is very simple, but it very effective because the pose on the cover usually isn't anything crazy. What I love the most about this shot however is the face. The look in your eyes is just captivating. Your bone structure looks amazing and you really worked your angles. You really took everything you learned in this competition and brought it to this shoot and the final result is magnificent. Now let's take a look at you on the runway. *
her pass plays* Your were made for the catwalk, Karlie. You have the height, the proportions, the walk. Everything is just spectacular when you walk down the runway. Your legs looked so long in that dress and you worked it to it's fullest potential. You killed it up there, Karlie.
Caroline: Let's have a look at your Vogue cover. *
this pops up on the screen* This screams cover to me, Caroline. It's a lovely shot. I love the pose and how you created so many different angles. Your body looks amazing in the clothes and I could definitely see this on the cover. The one issue I have is the parted mouth. It would have made the face amazing with a closed mouth instead of just good with the open on. Let's look at you on the runway. *
this plays* You two just killed that runway. Both of you were easily the best ones up there. Caroline, you look like you've been doing this for years. You had the strut, the attitude in the face, and you looked great in the clothes. You worked with the purse amazingly and your legs looked great. You killed it up there.
Okay, now that we've gone over your performances from this week, we are going to look at your past work comparatively.
Let's take a look at your first ever week in this competition.

Karlie, I thought you did well on the runway, but you landed in the bottom row because you couldn't follow directions which made me nervous. Caroline, this is when I knew you'd be a consistent runway girl. Your walk was great. Now Karlie, you for me had the stronger shot this week. I really loved the sparkle in your eyes and how you looked very young and fresh. Caroline, your shot was good, but I knew it wasn't the best that you would be able to deliver.
In the second week, I asked you girls to give illusions in your photo. Let's see them.
Karlie, this was a huge redemption week for you. You really delivered. The contortions are something I'd expect out of a supermodel. It's amazing how many angles you were able to give. Caroline, I was still so mesmerized by your look that I found this shot to be somewhat disappointing. I loved the illusion of height you brought, but I feel like there isn't enough power in the eyes.
In the third week, I asked you girls to give eerie looks while posing on a dock in couture gowns in the middle of a thunderstorm.
Karlie, you did very well this this shoot, but since on the week, everyone crushed it, you ended up in the middle of the pyramid. I love your body in the shot and the face is great. Caroline, you crushed it this week. This is still my favorite shot of the competition. You just look like the queen of the storm bringing it in to shore. You look amazing and that's when I knew you were more than just a stunning girl.
In week four, we went to the Bahamas where you all posed on the beach for Sports Illustrated.
Karlie, I wasn't sure how you were going to perform because you don't have the best swimsuit body per se, but I do think you could have done better. I think it's very pretty, but it really lacked the sex appeal that Sports Illustrated wanted. Caroline, you on the other hand dominated once again. You gave just enough sex appeal to make it work for the client, but you also gave a stunning expression and didn't look like a porn star. After this shoot, I knew you'd be able to become a consistent competitor and not just a one hit wonder. And as a side note, Caroline put you, Karlie, up for elimination this week.
In week five, you both did dramatic beauty shots.
Karlie, you killed it this week. You really redeemed yourself after facing elimination. The power in those eyes. Gosh. It's amazing. It's easily one of your best shots to date. Caroline, I was disappointed by this photo especially since you have such an amazing face. It just didn't blow me away. And since Karlie was on top of the pyramid and you were in the bottom row, she returned the favor to try and get you out.
In week six, you girls modeled for JCPenney.

Karlie, you grabbed the top spot for the second time in a row with this shot. I love how animated your expression is here and I love your pose. You sell everything in the shot and you nailed the client. Caroline, you could have been more commercial, but this shot is still great. I love the movement in the hair and your body looks amazing. Your legs go on for days. You both did very well in this week.
In the next week, you girls went to a jailhouse to pose in an dark, edgy, steam line shoot.
Both of you were amazing this week. Karlie, I loved the movement and control you had over the shot while Caroline, I loved your dark, creepy vibe. Overall, you both dominated over the week, but Karlie got put on top for the third time in a row.
After that shoot, you both posed in a gentlemen's club as androgynous girls.

Neither of you really excelled at this shoot. Karlie, your shot was good, but your film was boring and Caroline, you just didn't give enough manliness. Karlie, you did do better and that's simply because you got into character better than Caroline.
After Caroline survived yet another nomination, you girls flew here to Paris to shoot dangling from the Eiffel Tower.

You both gave beautiful shots this week. Karlie, you channeled a more angelic look while Caroline when for sheer elegance. I loved both of the shots, but Karlie, I definitely preferred yours as it looked so effortless. Caroline, you once again were targeted by Liza, but survived elimination.
For your second week in Paris, you shot your Italian Vogue covers which we will find out who's will run internationally in just a little bit.
Caroline, you killed everyone this week. If your shot from the dock is my favorite shot of the cycle, this is my second favorite. It's just jaw-dropping. When I saw it, I was like "Holy shit, this is brilliant." Karlie, your shot is strong as well, but I personally didn't think it stood out that much.
And last week you girls shot for Revlon which is another prize in the prize package for the winner.
Both of these shots are absolutely stunning, but to me, Karlie's just looks more like an ad that could run tomorrow than yours, Caroline. You look gorgeous, but like I said last week, you got screwed with the cropping and styling but I can't bump up your score just because of that. You need to work with what you were given.
Alright ladies. That's everything. We've looked at your portfolios, your walks, your shots from this week, and your overall potential and we are about to announce the winner. When you come back, one of you will have Taken it To the Top.
