If you copy and paste the part that isn't hyperlinked after the part that is, it works.

JUDGING Liya: Hello lovely ladies, and welcome to your eleventh judging! This week I brought you ladies to India where you shot an editorial for Vogue India posing in couture gowns on a hidden platform on the pools in front of the Taj Mahal, and I expected impressive, editorial photos worthy of the magazine. Let's see how you all did! Abbey Lee - You did have a better shot in your film, but unfortunately it was the same exact as your Royalty fragrance shot so I couldn't choose it. Anyway, I do think that this is a very lovely photo, very serene and beautiful. Facially you look gorgeous, your bone structure looks great and your expression is very soft but also very captivating and engaging. Bodily you are also looking good and I do appreciate the fact that you were the only girl to pose lying down, but one expense of that risk was that it doesn't display the dress as well as I would have liked, but overall you did a splendid job. Catherine - Oh Catherine, what happened this week? You have been on such a roll lately, but this week you gave me very few usable shots, let alone good ones. I do like this shot, but it looks more like a cover photo than an editorial because there is little story being told or drama to keep me engaged. You do look very good in the dress and facially you look stunning, and you have a lot of power in your eyes but they are also somehow rather disengaged and disconnected. It's a beautiful shot, but it's not up to the standard you have set for yourself. Jac - You had a similar case this week of producing a ton of usable shots, but few that truly blew me away. As a long shot I love this though, I think it's the most editorial photo of the bunch and the only one that really tries to tell a story so I commend you for that. Your body looks impossibly perfect in that gown, I love the curves and angles you created with your body and your arms. Facially you look beautiful as well and I like that you are giving me emotion, but in the close up the emotion doesn't seem genuine enough so work on that. Overall I am definitely impressed by this shot though. Jessica - Very beautiful Jessica, you look like a majestic water dancer. I like how you were one of the few girls to really work with your dress and display it so emphatically, and the way you did it really works with your emotion and pose. I do think a slightly different tilt of you body would have made this better though because you lost your shapeliness here. Anyway, I like the sensuality and serenity you are serving up in your expression, though I am not sure how much I like the finger in your mouth. Overall though this is a beautiful, stand-out photo. Lily - Oh, interesting photo. I like how you were the other girl to really work with her dress, and unlike Jessica you were able to maintain some of your body's shapeliness while doing so...but also unlike Jessica, I think you are letting the dress overwhelm you a bit. I do like the whimsical and theatrical quality to this and I love your neck extension, but your eyes are far too squinted and your open mouth does nothing for me. You also look a little short. Overall it is a good shot for sure, but not without its flaws. |

ELIMINATION Liya: Hello lovely ladies, and welcome to your eleventh elimination! This week you all shot an editorial posing in couture gowns in front of the Taj Mahal, and though none of you blew me away, three of you produced strong enough results for Vogue India to publish. The call-out order was particularly difficult this week because the performances were fairly even, but the first name I am going to call is...  JAC! After skirting the top since the beginning you finally got the number one spot. Congratulations, you are the first to appear in Vogue India. JESSICA! You and Jac were neck-and-neck for the first call-out this week, and in the end her stronger film ended up being the deciding factor. Anyway, you should be proud of your performance this week and you will also be appearing in Vogue India. ABBEY LEE! Your performance was also great this week and you are the final one to appear in Vogue India, congratulations! Will Catherine and Lily please step forward? Catherine, you hit a hot streak recently earning the past three first call-outs in a row, and even though you did well this week, you were actually the worst of the bunch. I am worried that perhaps your extreme success has made your overconfident and complacent. Lily, you have been the most inconsistent girl in this competition; I never know when you will be great or when you will be just decent, and this week you fell in between. However, in between wasn't quite enough to cut it compared to the other girls, but will it be enough to save you?  CATHERINE! Don't grow complacent on me now because the next two weeks will be the most strenuous yet. Congratulations, you are still in the running. *hugs Lily* Lily, unfortunately your stronger photo was not enough to surpass Catherine's stronger history, so you will be leaving us. You do have so much potential and talent though so I am sure you have a very bright future ahead of you, just make sure to always give it your all. Goodbye, and good luck. |

WEEK 12 ASSIGNMENT *the limo brings the girls straight to another airport once again and once again they take a short flight to arrive at yet another unfamiliar airport* *they find Liya waiting for them at the terminal*
Liya: Hello lovely ladies, and congratulations on making it through yet another week! Are you ladies sick of all the jet lag yet? Well, I hope not, because you better be excited to be here in the Philippines! *the girls give a tired cheer* The Philippines is well known for its beautiful, tropical beaches, so that is going to serve as the location for your first photoshoot this week. You will be posing sexily on the beaches either nude, in swimsuits, or in something light and sexy that you would expect to see at the beach, and you should bring as much sultriness and sexuality as you can, without going over the top, because the best photos will appear in GQ Magazine.
However, since next week is the finale and this is the strongest final four in a long time, after that photoshoot you will be heading to a second photoshoot that will count equally in judging. For this one you will simply be heading to a studio with free range of styling, setting, and theme with just two guidelines: you only get one single frame, and you must impress me.
Good luck!

JUDGINGLiya: Hello lovely ladies, and welcome to your twelfth judging, and your final judging before the finale! This week we all went to the Philippines where you ladies first shot a sexy editorial for GQ on the beaches, then went back to the studio where you had one shot to impress me. Let's see how you all did! Abbey LeeBeach - This is breathtaking Abbey Lee, very sensual and raw. Your body looks fantastic here; very long and lean, but you also managed to create curves with the arch in your back and booty tooch, and your legs look so graceful and slender. You also have a great neck extension and the perfect amount of sensuality in your face, and very little strain or stiffness shows which is impressive because posing on that branch probably wasn't easy. Sensational job. Impressive - Going this soft and simplistic was risky, but I like it! Your expression is really what draws me in here; you're simultaneously conveying dreaminess, longing, vulnerability, and nostalgia, which I like, and your eye color is so beautiful. Facially you also look beautiful and even though not much of your body is visible, your pose also conveys the vulnerability and dreaminess of the shot, especially with how you played with the necklace and curtain. My one critique is that this was a bit expected and well inside your comfort zone. CatherineBeach - This is a very good shot Catherine, you look great. Facially you look very beautiful and your eyes have a great connection, it looks like you're checking that dude out. Your body also looks fantastic in the swimsuit, very healthy and curvy yet also slender and lean, and your legs and skin look great. I do think that the shot is a tiny bit safe though; the other girls this week brought some sort of rawness and/or sultriness to their shots that make them stand out more. Impressive - This is an interesting shot, but honestly, I'm really not impressed by it. One thing I am liking is how much sensuality and emotion you are bringing with your expression, so perhaps if this were cropped to a beauty shot I would have been more impressed, though I do think you tilted your head too far back because the up-the-nose angle isn't too flattering. Aside from the hand caressing your neck your pose is pretty lackluster here, and overall that outfit actually isn't really flattering and makes you seem wider than you really are. I'm disappointed. JacBeach - Your film this week was so all over the place; you took a lot of risks, but none of them worked, so this shot was your saving grace. Your body looks incredible here; you have a great arch in your back and a good booty tooch, your thighs look very lean, your chest looks great, and you have a nice neck extension, and I also like how you worked with your hair. I do think that the angle of your face could be a little better though; it flatters your jawline very well, but not your nose, so maybe tilting towards camera a little more would've helped. Overall well done though. Impressive - This is very beautiful Jac, in both a classic and ethereal way. Your gaze is so icy here and really draws me in, and overall your face looks so gorgeous and you ooze expensiveness in this shot, which helps to sell the necklace. When I looked at your chest though I expected a hand to be clasped there which I think might have improved the shot to add to the romance of your expression, and on very close inspection your eyes are a little uneven, but overall those are minor details and overall you did very well. JessicaBeach - Yeah, you totally rocked this shoot like I expected. You had the best film by far this week so choosing a photo was tricky, but I chose this shot because it was a bit different for you, you look like some cool surfer chick. Your pose conveys a lot of confidence and attitude while still being effortless and sexy, and your body looks great here. Your face is what really draws me in here; like your pose it's very confident and effortless, and your eye is quite sultry and maintains a great connection with the camera. I also like the way your hair is covering the other eye, it adds a mysterious element that works nicely. Impressive - I like this a lot Jessica, and one of my favorite parts is how it is much more raw and edgy than I am used to seeing from you. Your eye is what really draws me in here, you're connecting so well with the camera and there's a lot of subtle power in your glare. That power combined with the styling and setting reminds me of some aquatic monster lurking in a lagoon, albeit a very beautiful one selling a very fancy watch. I do wish that you had either pushed the hair away from your other way or more hair towards it because the few strands blocking your pupil are kinda annoying, but aside from that nitpicky detail I think you did very well. |
