PYRAMID CEREMONY*the girls all file into the judging room awaiting the results*
Elle: Welcome back ladies. It's that time of week, again, where one of you is going to be leaving the competition. While it's a milestone to make it to the top ten of all the amazing girls that applied, you do not want to be the next to go. The competition is getting tighter and tighter so landing in the bottom row becomes riskier and riskier. This week you shot for Versace which is a huge client, and I will say overall, the judges were not impressed and unfortunately no girl performed up to Versace's standards. No one is getting that ad and that's a shame that some of you didn't give 100% because this was a huge opportunity. We still have a pyramid, however. The structure is a 4-3-2-1 pyramid tonight. The first girl on the bottom row who is not safe at this weeks elimination is...

Tanya.
Elle: I'm really sad to see you all the way back down to the bottom again. I really see something special in you, but you really let me down.
Karlie: I feel like this was such a huge opportunity and the fact you refused to go nude is really annoying actually. I'm usually the nice judge, but it really pissed me off. And don't feel like this is a personal attack against you because I feel the same way about some of the others.
Cara: And on top of not going nude, it's still not a strong photo. The arms for me are very awkward and you have an uncomfortable expression on your face that just doesn't exude the confidence that Versace needed.
Elle: It's a disappointing week, Tanya. The next girl on the bottom row is...
i40.tinypic.com/e1dwzm.jpgNicole.
Karlie: It's honestly just unacceptable. You were probably nervous because you're young, but I did nude shoots when I was your age. It's all about commitment and I'm not sure you have that.
Cara: It's really a shame that you didn't go nude because the bag basically covers everything anyways and the lighting is so harsh that it blocks a lot out too. Nothing would have even shown.
Elle: I feel like this shot had the potential to be a great shot, but not only was it let down by you not going nude, but I also feel like there is something lacking in the face. I feel like the eyes are lacking and I would have loved to see some eye contact straight to camera because that's what sells an ad. Thanks, Nicole. The next girl on the bottom row of the pyramid is...

Cara: It's not a bad shot, I actually really like it, but I just think you missed the brief. Yes you went nude and commend you for that because apparently it's a huge probably for a lot of these girls, but the head flip is too energetic for the brief.
Elle: Yeah, they definitely had a cool, edgy, chic thing going on and the hair creates a wild image.
Karlie: I give you an A for being different and effort, but a B- for execution. Had you had more control over your face, this shot would have been brilliant, but it just looks out of control.
Elle: Thanks, Ming. The final girl on the bottom row of the pyramid is...
i40.tinypic.com/2qx6nia.jpgSui.
Karlie: I think had you not worn the jeans and gone fully nude, you would have gotten the ad because everything else is gorgeous.
Elle: I wouldn't got that far, Karlie. I feel like it's beautiful, but it's too demure and shy. There is that POP of confidence like "I know of hot."
Cara: Karlie, I love ya to death, but I have to go with Elle on this one. There isn't enough intensity in the face. It's too reserved.
Elle: Thanks, Sui. The first girl safe this week is...
i39.tinypic.com/rruzw8.jpgAnna.
Elle: Your body looks great.
Karlie: Yes it does. Your skin is just luminescent.
Elle: It's a very elegant shot, Anna and I like that, but a little bit more rawness would have made it awesome.
Cara: I think you needed more eye contact. I appreciate the risk with giving eye contact through the mirror, but I don't know if it completely paid off.
Karlie: We know you have gorgeous, intense eyes so it would have been amazing if you just gave that intense glare. Like in the iD shoot.
Elle: Thank you, Anna. The next girl on the second row of the pyramid is...

Karlie: I think you had the same issue as Sui. It's just too sweet I think. Had you given an intense glare, you could have killed it, but unfortunately you didn't.
Elle: It's a gorgeous photo, Liu and it really shows off your natural beauty, but it's lacking that glamorous aspect that would make it Versace.
Cara: *pause* They said everything I was going to say...
Elle: Thanks, Liu. The final girl on this row of the pyramid is...
i43.tinypic.com/2j4dpwz.jpgSophie.
Cara: Had you been fully nude, I think you would have gotten that ad Sophie because this shot is GORGEOUS.
Karlie: I 100% agree. You sold the shoes amazingly, your body looks great, you look glamorous, and your face is stunning. It's just perfection, except for the fact that you didn't go full on nude.
Elle: I will say that there were fully-nude photos, so she did follow the brief, but she put this on at the end and I just couldn't pass up this photo even if it doesn't fit the brief. It's one of my favorite photos of you, Sophie. The first girl in the next row is...
i41.tinypic.com/2md2tt5.jpgMartha.
Karlie: Wow! This is such a different look for you. It's very alienesque and high fashion.
Elle: I agree. I love this shot of you, Martha. It's easily your best photograph to date.
Cara: But it's not the full nude. If you'd dropped that friggen curtain this would have been spectacular and you could have possible gotten that ad. You have an amazing body, flaunt it.
Elle: Thanks, Martha.
Juju. Sara. You are the top two girls this week, but only one can take that spot. The girl who just missed that top spot is...
static.gedankenacker.de:8080/fashionography/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/juju_ivanyuk1.jpgJuju.
Elle: This is gorgeous, Juju. It really shows your youth and innocence which I like, but I think had you brought a little more intensity, you could have had the ad.
Cara: It's just a beautiful shot, Juju. I like that you bore it all and just went for it. You sell that necklace amazingly. Great job.
Karlie: Juju, you're slowly becoming one of my favorite girls, Juju because you've shown that you can do many different things. You can do sexy, you can do fierce, you can do elegant. I think you're going to be one to watch.
Elle: Great job, Juju. So that leaves on girl left for the top spot and that girl is...
i39.tinypic.com/2r5fho2.jpgSara!
*all the girls and judges applaud*
Elle: I really think you took being the the bottom row last week as a wakeup call because this is great! I love the way you crossed your legs to block your body, but you still kept it sexy.
Cara: And the purse looks great. It's sexy, strong, and your best shot to date, for me.
Karlie: I don't know about her best shot to date because her iD shot was brilliant, but it's still strong. I love that you went fully nude and made it look really classy.
Elle: The reason they didn't want to use your photo as an ad even though it was the best shot was because they wanted just a little something extra in the eyes. Okay Sara, you have one more job and that's to choose two of the following girls to nominate for elimination: Tanya, Nicole, Ming, and Sui. Good luck.
