Sorry to delay pyramid again, but this week is very hectic for me and honestly, I'll be lucky to have enough time to post pyramid this week. So unfortunately, we might have to wait until Friday.

PYRAMID CEREMONYElle: Hello ladies and welcome back to the pyramid ceremony. Sorry for the delay, but this week was very busy for me. This week we went very modern with the shoot as you posed in from of the Duomo Cathedral here in Milan. The pyramid structure this week is 1-1-3. The results were mixed this week, but the girl who did the worst was...  Maria. I had mixed feelings about this photo. Your face looks amazing. I love your bone structure and how you really connected with something in the distance, but you really lost it with the body. I feel like you just didn't do anything. You look as stiff as a board. There is nothing interesting about the pose and that's what an edgy photograph is supposed to do. During the challenge this week, it seemed like no one even noticed you as no one chose you as having the most potential or least potential. That can be good meaning that they believe you're a consistently good model, but it also may mean that you're forgettable. Thanks, Maria. The next girl on the bottom of the pyramid is...  Imogen. I was disappointed by your film, Imogen. I'd seen some really edgy things from you last week that didn't fit the brief, but nothing like that happened for you this week. I like the twisting motion and the hair flying, but I just feel like you didn't bring that dark edginess. I think the face looks great, but overall, you could have done a lot better. During the challenge, no one chose you as having the most potential, but one girl did feel like you had the least potential. She felt like you came in strong and just declined from there. Also, every single girl ranked you last when it came to doing the rankings which means they feel like you should be the next to go. Thanks, Imogen. The final girl on the bottom of the pyramid is...  Cara. It was actually very close between you and the other girl who didn't make it to the top of the pyramid, but in the end, I felt like she brought just a little more edge than you. I love your face here. Normally we see a little softness just because your features are a little softer, but here you brought the edge. I do like how you opened the jacket to show off the coat, but you could have made the pose a little more interesting. Coming into this challenge, I thought you were a shoe-in for the challenge win by getting the most votes for most potential, but surprisingly, you did not as the net scoring hurt you. You did receive a vote as least potential as they felt like your look was very generic and not the most modelesque. That one vote put one girl ahead of you for those five bonus points. However, every girl ranked you as the number one scorer. And they were right. You're the one to beat at the moment. Thanks, Cara. Anais, Jaslene. You are the top two this week and one of you will make the decision on who to nominate for elimination. The girl that just missed out on that opportunity is...  Jaslene. You're consistency is really admirable and some other girls should try to be like you as this is the fourth week in a row that you've been in the top two. I really like this shot. It's strong, edgy, and fashion-forward. I really like you face as it has an intensity, but it's kind of soft. Normally, when you go hard, you look drag, but you do not in this shot. You're holding that mace with so much force like you're protecting the cathedral. You did have issues in the challenge as no one believed you had the most potential, but three thought you had the least. Their reasoning brought to my attention that you may not be as versatile with such a strong look, sometimes you come off drag, and that you're shorter than the rest of the girls in the competition. However, I felt like you had the best explanation to your reasoning so therefore, you received those five bonus points on your overall score. Great job this week, Jaslene. So that leaves...  Anais on top of the pyramid! Of all the weeks to be on the top of the pyramid, I'd probably expect any other one than this as I don't see you as that much of an edgy girl. You killed it this week. I love the face. You brought intensity to the shot that I wasn't sure you'd have. I thought your baby face would limit you in this shoot, but you worked it. You look so tall and I love how you made a simple pose edgy. Maria, take notes here. Also, the challenge went well for you as you won the most potential award! You had two votes for the most potential, but none for the least. Cara had three for the most, but her least potential vote brought her down to two and I chose you to win as you receive no deprecating votes. Great job this week, Anais. Now it is up to you to choose Maria, Imogen, or Cara to nominate for elimination. Good luck. |

ELIMINATIONElle: Welcome back to the judging room ladies. This week we are really cutting down as we enter to the final week before the finale. Each week the decisions are getting tougher and tougher. One girl who does not have to worry at all is Jaslene though as she was the only girl to escape the bottom row without being on top of the pyramid. Jaslene, you are safe and will be advancing to the final four. You may now leave the judging area. *Jaslene leaves* There is also one other girl safe, but she cannot leave the judging room as she has one more duty to do. Anais, come up here and deliver the news. Anais: Ill nominate Maria and Imogen, since they were at the bottom of the pyramid. Elle: Thank you, Anais. Cara, Anais has decided to save you from elimination so you and her may both leave the judging area. Thank you. *the two leave happily* Imogen, Maria. You both have been nominated for elimination by Anais this week. Unfortunately, that means one of your journeys will end here. Imogen, you've been having a rough second half of the competition as you've struggled to stay out of the bottom row. But I see a lot of potential in you as you've shown that you can take a strong photo in the past as well as book runway jobs. Your versatility is also still in question. Maria, your track record is solid. You've reached the top of the pyramid, but only once. You've also spent your time in the bottom row also, but it seemed to go more unnoticed than Imogen as she was nominated many times while you have escaped being nominated until now. Also, that runway week where you really struggled has really hurt your score and has put you into last place score wise. So who stays? Maria. Even though you are technically in last place, you have been ranked above Imogen more weeks than she has been above you which means you've been stronger overall. Now you know that you are very far behind and you're going to have to work extra hard to win this competition and you cannot falter. Congratulations, you're still in the running to take it to the top. *hugs Imogen* I really thought that you could have taken this competition at the beginning, but slowly I noticed that your skills are not fine tuned enough which really hurt you. The lack of versatility really killed you in the end. You're a beautiful girl that will model in the future, but you will not Take it to the Top. Goodbye and good luck. |

The next shoot is a group shot in a gondola in Venice. Think cycle 15.

PYRAMIDElle: Hello ladies and welcome to one of your last pyramid ceremonies. There are four of you here, but unfortunately, one of you came all this way to place fourth. This week you girls did my favorite photoshoot this cycle and posed in a gondola on a Venice river. Let's see the final product!  Now that you've seen the shot, let's begin pyramid. The pyramid this week is a 1-3 format where only one of you is safe and the rest are up for elimination. Let's see the first girl at risk of elimination... Maria. This was a very tough week because everyone did very well. No one really brought down the shot. Looking at everyone though, I do feel like your look slightly out of place. You look very sexy and seductive which is great, but it's a little too sexy. With the prominent side-boob, it brings the sexiness up a lot. I love your face here, however. Your jaw looks amazing and your eyes have a lot of power. You almost have a little devilish expression which I do wish was slightly toned down. Thank you, Maria. The next girl on the bottom row of the pyramid is... Jaslene. I actually really like this shot of you, but I feel like you get a little lost. Your expression is absolutely gorgeous and I love the body position. The hand to the face is very subtle and soft and I really like it. If this was a solo shot, I feel like it would be great, but you got lost in the background because some of the other girls were really powerful. It's gorgeous, but slightly bland. Thanks, Jaslene. Anais, Cara. You are the top two this week. One of you will be in the bottom row and one of you will be the top girl this week. The girl who just barely missed out on the top spot is... Anais. It was very close between you and Cara this week, but she barely edged you out. You probably had the most difficult position for two reasons. First off, the back of the gondola was very steep and difficult to balance on, but you did it beautifully. I love how you latched on to the hook and reached the other arm out beautifully. It really shows that you were in control of the situation. The other reason why you had a difficult spot was because it was in the back. You really needed to work to stand out and you did it amazingly. Your body is amazing and I love the pose. The legs look great and again, your strength to hold on up there and look effortless is amazing. I also love the face. You were in an uncomfortable position, but your face still looks serene and calm. Great job, Anais. So that leaves... Cara on top of the pyramid. Cara, this is PERFECT. This is exactly what I wanted. You look amazing. You just laid yourself over the the seat, created a flattering leg position, and looked like pure royalty. I love how one hand is gently grabbing the hood and the other is slightly touching the seat. Your face just looks perfect. There is intensity, but it isn't too strong. Cara, this is just brilliant. As the strongest girl this week, you can choose two girls to nominate for elimination: Maria, Jaslene, or Anais. Good luck. |

ELIMINATION
Elle: Welcome back to the judging room ladies. It is now that time to discover who will enter the final week of competition and who will go home. No one is safe this week except for the top girl, Cara. Cara, you had a decision to make so let's hear it.
Cara: I'll nominate Jaslene because I think she did the weakest and Maria because her shot was a little too sexy for the shoot.
Elle: Thank you, Cara. You have earned your way into the finale and now may leave the judging room.
*she exits*
Elle: Anais, Cara has granted you safety this week which means that you will also partake in the finale. Congratulations. You may leave the judging room.
*she leaves*
Jaslene, Maria, one of you has come all this way for nothing and will fall just short of making the finale. Jaslene, you came in here with questionable potential being short and having a harsh look, but you've really proven that you can be consistently strong and can hang with some of the other girls who have more potential. Maria, you've had a different journey as you've been more inconsistent, but have shown that when you're on, you're really on. your Lanvin shot is still one of my favorite of the cycle. So who stays?
Jaslene. I feel like overall, you've had a much stronger performance than Maria which is why you will be joining Cara and Anais in the finale. Congratulations. You're still in the running to Take it to the Top.
*hugs Maria* You've come a very long way and I'm very impressed. I didn't see you making it very far in the competition early on, but you've really proven that you're a fighter and will fight as hard as possible for your dream. Unfortunately, you came up slightly short. I'm sorry, but you will not Take it to the Top. Goodbye and good luck.
