Jennelyn: I edited your post to remove Kasia's stuff. I said everyone except Kasia and Fatima can send in their stuff, since they're the ones up for elimination.

*Fatima and Kasia enter the room while Hilary is pondering over their portfolios*
Hilary: Hi ladies. Unfortunately this week, both your coaches felt like you deserved to come into elimination and one of you will be going home. Kasia, it seems week after week, you have solid performances, but I haven't seen greatness out of you since week one. You need to show that fire. Really push the boundaries to become extraordinary and not rest on being a beautiful girl. Fatima, you know how I feel about you. Everyone knows how I feel about you. Week after week you don't push to try anything different. If I were to grab an ordinary girl off the street to pose in one of the shoots we've given you, I feel like they could do just as well as you. They'd give poses that you give. It's like you've never picked up a fashion magazine and seen any editorial. It's stereotypical. And once again, you weren't strong this week.
But Fatima, your team only has two girls left and Kasia's has four, so you get to stay another week. I don't know if I should say congratulations or not because I really didn't choose you to stay, I chose someone from Team Liya to stay.
*hugs Kasia* Kasia, unfortunately, Team Maryna was put in an impossible situation this week and you took the brunt of it. You're a beautiful girl and I expect you to go out there and make us proud.

Judging
Team Maryna
Liya: My goodness Kate, you really are so inconsistent because as mediocre as you were last week, you are that great this week. You captured the theme best of any girl this week I think; I totally see the raw, natural, casual sexiness that epitomizes Ellen's work. Your body looks great and facially you look beautiful. All you needed was a little more expression and this would be perfect. Now, onto Natasha, I almost really like this but for some reason I don't...I think it has to do with the posing. The way you angled your body makes it look like you have almost no torso which throws all of your proportions out whack; so while your legs look great, you still look very short and kinda thick. Facially you do look beautiful at least, but your expression is also running the line between sensual and sleepy. Kendra, I do think this is a good shot but I also think it's a little amateur. You do look absolutely gorgeous and your leg looks great, but it's also a very "Model 101" pose that you didn't bring any originality to. Also, you should have sucked in your midsection and/or pushed your booty out because you almost look a few months pregnant.
Hilary: I'll start with Kate this week. I feel like you really really pushed the boundary of the fashion sexy versus mens magazine. You pushed it past the point that I particularly feel would work, but since it's Interview, I think it can be overlooked because they are constantly publishing risky shots that really push the boundaries of fashion. I think your body looks good here though I don't necessarily love the hand placement between the legs. I think you gave good power in the face, but just a little more in the eyes would make it perfect. Natasha, I think it's a little too subtle and dreamy for Interview. Interview goes very edgy and this is a little more elegant and soft. Your legs look great and the body looks amazing in the dress, but the face, while beautiful, isn't right for this shoot. Had you gone straight on and stared down the barrel of the camera, this shot would have been amazing. Kendra, your shot is my favorite on your team. You have one of the best bodies here and you really used it this week. You look so long. I see Angelina Jolie at the Oscar's with that leg out! I love the intense off camera glare that you gave because it brings a glamorous shot to and edgy realm.
Team Liya
Maryna: I wanna start off with Joan, I think you did a good job this week. I really get an Ellen vibe from this shot, I love the sex appeal and all that. But there are also things I dont like, your hands are very claw like and the face I am torn on, on one hand I love the sensuality in your expression but on the other I think this angle makes your face look really droopy. Im starting to feel like as the weeks go on you do good Joan but you havent made me go crazy over one of your photos. Onto Fatima, this is honestly your best shot so far. But girl, I dont really see Ellen's photography in this. Your face is gorgous and those eyes are smoldering but it doesn't have that glamorous sort of vintage look we expected.
Hilary: Joan, this is one of my favorite shots of the week. Your body just looks amazing. Those legs look so long. You really modeled from head to toe. The crossed legs, to the hands, to chin up. It's all great. I just wish you brought a little bit more in the eyes. That's my only critique, Joan. However, Joan, I feel very sorry for you because Fatima just brings you down every week. Fatima, this is another lackluster shot. You have a gorgeous face, but I can't even look at it because I can't take my eyes off that hand. It looks so large, awkward, and distracting. You lost your neck as well. I do like the expression, Fatima, but not necessarily for the client. I wanted to see some intensity, but you just didn't bring it. I will commend you for taking some risks on set though. Finally you grew a pair of ears and listened.
Team Hilary
Maryna: The past couple weeks I had pegged Vlada as the star girl of your team but out of her and Aymeline she clearly didnt do as well. I wont deny that this is a stunning shot of Vlada. But I have two problems with it, one, it doesn't reflect Ellen's photography in it, it was like on set she was doing the opposite of what Ellen said. Second, this was your chance to do something intense and edgy and instead its just another soft cute photo, you havent done anything edgy your whole time in this competition Vlada. Moving onto Aymeline its clearly the better of the two. You have such an intensity in your face Aymeline that just screams sex even if your look isn't typically "sexy" and I love that. However I am honestly not a fan of the body, by covering your neck with your arm you made your shoulders look really broad, your thighs are also looking a bit muscular. Its makes me think more of a mans body in lingerie than a womans.
Liya: Vlada, I think this shot is very beautiful, but also very expected and not quite what we were going for. It's far too soft and elegant for Ellen, and it's also a look we have seen from you already several times before so I wish you would start pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone. As I said at the start though, it is still quite a beautiful shot. Aymeline, this is much more Ellen's style, I like this a lot. Your body looks fantastic and your expression is very strong and piercing, and overall there is a raw realness to this that I like. I do think that could have done something more dramatic though, especially with your pose because I have been noticing throughout this competition that you seem to put most of the effort in either your face or your body in a photo but rarely both. |

Liya: *hugs her girls* Well ladies, here we are in this position again. I am sorry to say that we lost, but I can't say I didn't see it coming because I wasn't particularly blown away by you two on set. Joan, I agree with Maryna that you definitely did quite well and continue to do well every week, but now I would like to see you start pushing it more. Fatima, I agree with Hilary that we finally saw you push it this week and try something different which I was really happy about, but sadly you didn't push it in the right direction. Going through your film actually really disappointed me because you didn't produce any usable shots; they were all good, but not right for the client, which made me wonder if you were really even trying and listening. So that is why I have to nominate you for the elimination room again Fatima. I am very sorry. *hugs her*
*goes into confessional* I miss last cycle; this time around it is far more heartbreaking and frustrating. Last time my team was always the biggest one, the one to watch out for, but this time around I feel like we are the weakest link. I do feel that the unfair loss of Karlie in the first week is what really did us in, but then the loss of Du hit us pretty hard too I think. I did not see either of their eliminations coming, so that hurt even more. This time, however, I am pretty sure I am going to lose Fatima. I am definitely going to miss her and I don't want her to go, but at least I will be more prepared for it than I was for my other girls. If we do lose Fatima, though, then I will feel bad for Joan because that puts so much pressure on her, but I think she can handle it better than any girl in this competition could. She is very strong and I've had a feeling since the beginning that it would be her in the end, so hopefully she will continue to make me proud.

Hilary: *joins her girls and she looks pissed* Ladies, I'm not pissed at you for losing this week. What I am pissed about is that fact that we should have won. Both of your shots were gorgeous and some of the best of the week. What is even more upsetting is that I'm pretty sure whoever I send in will be going home this week. Liya will most likely put Fatima in and she is clearly the weakest girl left and it's getting down to the wire now, so I'd probably keep her over a stronger girl. This is so hard because I feel like you are both two of the strongest girls in the competition if not the two strongest girls in the competition. I basically have to go based off of this weeks performance and Vlada, you just didn't fit the client. *begins to tear up* It sucks, but I have to nominate you for elimination. *hugs her in tears* Aymeline, that means you're safe this week. *leaves the two in tears*
*Confessional* *crying* This just sucks. *wipes her eyes but continues to tear up* Both of my girls are so strong and that is going to prove to be their detriment in this competition. Just the fact that Fatima is going to be here longer than one of these amazing models is annoying.

*Maryna awaits in the elimination room, closely looking over the girls portfolio before they enter*
Maryna: So Vlada, Fatima this week you have both found yourselfs in the bottom.
Fatima, you finally delivered that amazing shot but it doesn't fit the client.
Vlada, you had a beautiful photo but like Fatima's it also did not fit what the client wanted.
This is what most likely stopped your respective teams from winning. I have thought about this decision for a while now and have made up my mind.
Vlada........I think you deserve another chance. What I would recommend is that you start experimenting with different looks and expressions from now on.
Fatima, I am sorry Fatima but you must go pack your bags. You will not be The Face. |

Client: None
Hello ladies! This week will be a little different. We won't be having a client, instead we will be doing a themed photoshoot. For your photoshoot you girls will be taking a trip to this beautiful Victorian Mansion where you will split up into your respectful groups for a group photoshoot. You can shoot anywhere in the mansion (For the coach to decide) and the styling will also be decided by your coaches. Anything goes as long as it falls within the lines of a high fashion editorial photograph. *Maryna joins her girls* Oh-em-geeeeee. You girls were so amazing, congratulations on winning last week! I know right now the other coaches are hating on us, since we have won three challenges and are kicking ass. Lets make this week no different. So I decided our location is going to be in the mansions library, I don't want to have our team be the "sexy" team even though you are all super hot. What I want to see is a lot of elegance and high fashion from you girls, I want you to look like a group of high class educated-couture women in your photos. You can be either soft or edgy, but not too much of either. You don't want to look vulnerable enough that your about to cry or so edgy that you look scary. Its really about looking like an elegant, high fashion, refined woman....in haute couture outfits. Goodluck girls! |

Liya: *hugs Joan* Well Joan, it's just down to you now which I know is a lot of pressure, but I know that you can handle it. And conveniently, I think this type of shoot is right up your alley so let's show the other two coaches the greatness you are capable of. For your shoot, I'm going to bring you to the balcony where I want to see pure luxury from you and the styling. I don't want you to play it safe either; I want you to give me a lot of variety and try different things...give me some sensuality, give me some quirkiness, give me some power, but all the while remember to keep it high-class and luxurious. I want a shot that is striking and iconic, something that could be featured in the likes of French Vogue or a blue-chip campaign, so really bring your all. Good luck! *high fives her*

*Vlada walks back through the door*
Hilary: *gasps and runs up to hug Vlada* oh my god oh my god oh my god. Thank you so much Maryna.
*Confessional* Seeing Vlada walk through that door was so surprising, but so rewarding as well. I really thought she was a goner this week.
*joins her girls*
Well ladies our team is still intact after that elimination which makes this a crucial week for us. Basically what we have to do is ensure that Team Maryna does not win. If they do, I'm pretty sure Maryna wouldn't send Liya's only team member home so that would leave either of you and I do not want that to happen. This week you will be posing in the ballroom of the mansion. The major critiques that you girls get is about your lack of versatility. Vlada, you often have soft, feminine looks so this week I am going to give you the more edgy, androgynous look in the pairing. Aymeline, you've probably guessed it, but you have the feminine role this week. I want you two to tell a love story. You girls could be dancing sensually or Vlada you could be trying to woo Aymeline. Just make sure the romantic quality is there ladies.
