Expulsion Ceremony
Lara: Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks Expulsion Ceremony. You all posed in a car wash this week for very glamorous, sexy photos. Some of you shined as expected, others disappointed me. The first name I will call this week is...
Robyn! 5+5=10 Photo: A Glamour: A
Well done Robyn, and congratulations on your 2nd first call out.
Alessandra! 5+5=10 Photo: A Glamour: A
You and Robyn were neck to neck, well done Alessandra.
Ashley! 4+5=9 Photo: B Glamour: B
Sasha! 4+4=8 Photo: B Glamour: B
If you had fit the styling requirements better you might have been called higher.
Will Jenny and John please step forward? Jenny, your photo this week was good but stiff. I still feel like when you do a shoot that is right up your alley you excel at it, but when you don't you do average. Though you did do better than I thought you would its getting down to the wire and you have to be great at everything. John, your problem was in the face not the body, you looked strained and unfocused. I feel like you might have peaked at the runaways shoot early on, because since then you haven't had a performance come close to that, and as the weeks go on you just seem to stay in the same spot. So who stays, the model who excels in the tasks she likes but not the others, or the model who has seemingly plateaued and performances have been losing their spark? The GPA's have been calculated....
Jenny (3.0) 3.5+5=8.5 Photo: C+ Glamour: C+
John (2.8) 3.5+5=8.5
Jenny, congratulations. *hands her the photo* I really want to see you be the best you can be in every aspect of modeling and its so close to the end that your really going to have to push for it.
John, *hugs him* I was a little surprised when I calculated the GPA's. You were always so consistent, however the problem is you kept it at the same level of consistency while others improved on what they were already good at, and it began to show as the weeks went by. I think you have so much talent and potential, and while you might not follow Evandro's footsteps in this competition, you might follow them in having a similar career. John, you have been expelled.

Lara: Hello ladies! Its crazy to think were already here for the final five, and this week you are going to be doing one of your most stunning shoots yet.
*The girls are taken into the limo where they arrive inside the Duomo De Milano*
We are here inside the beautiful Duomo De Milano, and the idea of this shoot is that you will be posing as giant, haute couture queens with the cathedral as your backdrop. You will be wearing high fashion dresses/gowns that exaggerate your height this giving you the illusion of being giants (Which just means ill be editing the photos) and the goal is to be very haute couture, royal, and strong. Alright ladies, goodluck!

Judging
Its really amazing to see you transform from this bombshell into this glamorous, high fashion women on set. You have such an intense expression that just pierces the camera, and your cheekbones really pop as well. Your posing is strong, you are showing off your legs, the dress, and the shoes, its almost like a dancer. My only critique is that its high fashion but in a glamorous way, and I was really looking for the regal, haute couture look instead.
J'adore. I love this photo Ashley. To me you look like this evil duchess from the Victorian Era. I love how even with that dress you still managed movement, and this broken down like pose. Your face is what really draws me in, an expression like this could have gone wrong easily but it just works so well for the photo, the intense eyes and puckered lips just work, your like the evil queen angrily fetching her servants, and it just comes together perfectly with the setting.
Beautiful. This is such an elegant photo Jenny. You look like this beautiful, elegant princess. I really like how your posing with the dress and your neck looks so long, and the dress is beautiful as well. Your profile and expression are beautiful as well. It's just a lovely photo in general, well done Jenny.
I am looooviiiing this photo Robyn. First of all your body looks amazing, every curve and shape is flawless. And your face is just enchanting, like Ashley you went for such a risky expression that not everyone can do and you pulled it off! Its gorgous, ethereal, and enchanting. I love the arm held over your head and the other stretched out, its like a beautiful singer caught in the moment. Absolutely stunning photo.
Geez everyone is just doing amazing this week. This is another stunning photograph. I love how you took the risk laying down, even with the special props and effects we used to make you guys appear larger its still a risk. Your legs look long and nice, but its the face that I love. Your expression is just stone cold and chilling, it pierces the lens. Since im giving everyone a character, to me, you look like this deadly mistress. Well done Sasha.

Expulsion Ceremony
Lara: Hello ladies and welcome to this weeks expulsion ceremony. I was so impressed with all of you this week, you all delivered amazing photographs. And its so hard to narrow it down from 5 to just 4. It was a close tie for the first call out but one girl just excelled in the end....
Robyn!
5+5=10 Photo: A Couture: A
Italy has been good to you Robyn, congratulations!
Ashley! 5+5=10 Photo: A Couture: A
Its been a while since ive seen a performance like this from you Ashley, it's exactly what you needed.
Sasha! 5+5=10 Photo: A Couture: A
Will Alessandra and Jenny please step forward? Alessandra, you delivered a gorgeous photograph. Strong, fierce. But I feared it wasn't haute couture enough. Jenny, you also delivered a beautiful photo, but when I compare it to the others it sort of gets lost. So who stays?
Alessandra (3.0) 5+4=9 Photo: A Couture: B
Jenny (3.0) 4+5=9
You both tied with a 3.0, however Alessandra I feel like your consistency has been far stronger than Jenny's.
Jenny, *hugs her* You have this face that can take you so far, and you know exactly how to use it. I think if you can just work on your weaknesses you will be an absolutely amazing model ready to take the industry by storm. It has been such a pleasure seeing you grow and change each and every week. I am sorry Jenny, but you have been expelled.

Jenny: *hears Alessandra's name called* *hugs her with a smile* Congratulations. *wells up a little, but smiles through it as she hugs Lara* Thank you so much for believing in me, Lara. Coming this far has really helped and I couldn't be any more grateful. *hugs Lara again and then hugs all of the girls* *Exit Confessional* I'm so proud of myself. I did minor boutique jobs back home and now I'm standing here in Italy as the fifth place girl in an incredible competition. I've posed in couture gowns in a castle, topless, and on a red carpet. It has really been the most amazing experience. I could see this coming a mile away because I knew that of the girls left, I was probably the most inconsistent, but I'm still proud of myself. I would love to see Robyn win because as a plus-sized girl, they always say you need to work extra hard and be incredible to even be considered, and well, she has done just that. Robyn: *Confessional* It feels great to get another first callout. Especially after a couple average weeks, to come back with back to back first callouts is definitely what I needed. It feels great to be at 3 first callouts before anyone else in the competition even got their second, but I'm not going to coast because even though if the winner was picked right now, I would win GPA wise, anything can happen and it could all come crashing down. I just need to keep pushing as hard as ever. I am excited for this shoot because I feel like it's another one that suits me. When I think of the Riviera, I think of elegant swimsuits and beautiful expensive clothing. Being 6'2 helps bring that elegance to a shoot and my body is great for one-piece bathing suits which is what you'd see there. postimg.org/image/6k8vc7133/imgbox.com/abjpiklcimgbox.com/acfzbMHRimgbox.com/abi8iv4Qimageupper.com/i/?S0300010010051D13752320202001618imageupper.com/i/?S0800010100071F13751059282516730imageupper.com/i/?S0800010100061F13751059282516730imageupper.com/i/?S0800010100021F13751059282516730imageupper.com/i/?S0800010100011F13751059282516730postimg.org/image/o6e41e4zj/postimg.org/image/vxutzy94v/imgbox.com/abyEQ5HFimgbox.com/acp3Z9zyimgbox.com/adb9J3Kmimgbox.com/abkK6oICimgbox.com/adl8hNpjpostimg.org/image/sxcwbs6in/postimg.org/image/ntlmnkven/postimg.org/image/onfqdzxj3/imgbox.com/aajXMFgYSorry for so many. She has a lot that fits this type of shoot.

Judging
So Alessandra, first I will critique your film. You had by far the most consistant film in the bunch, every shot was usable and great and it was hard to pick a final photo, however there wasn't one mindblowing shot in it either. This is a stunning photograph, you do luxury so well. I love this styling on you and your body positioning just screams posh. Your face is amazing, especially in the close up, you look so confident, sexy, and luxurious, your eyes are just shining and your skin is glowing.
The first couple frames of your film started off just okay, but as it went on it got much, much better. This is one of my favorite photos of you to date. You look phenomenal in this photograph. I love how you are laying down and looking sexy and luxurious, while also remembering to show off the top, skirt, and accessories. I literally want to buy the whole look. This is some of the best I have seen your face look, the angle is great, I like the slight shadow on your face and the incredibly sensual hooded eye, it's gorgeous.
This wasnt the best photo in your film Robyn, you had much better ones. The reason I didnt choose a different frame is because your film was incredibly repetitive. The close eyed sensual expression has worked to your favor in the past but this would have been the 3rd week in a row with that same expression, and unfortunately all the best shots in your film consisted of it, and the others were average. I do feel like you relied too much on it. On to this photo, it's a strong shot, but it does have its weaknesses. On the pros I love your ethereal angelic expression, but the body could have been relaxed a bit, the arms just look a bit stiff and awkward for me.
Sasha, you probably had the weakest film for me. You had some good shots but nothing ever crossed into great or amazing, I was just sort of clicking through at some point. This photo though is the exception to that. It's one of my favorite this week. You are just this posh, little rich girl in this photo and it works perfectly. From the crossed legs to the hands, the pose is so neat and elegant and your face is soft but also intense and the little wind in the hair adds even more to it.

Expulsion Ceremony
Lara: Hello ladies and welcome to this weeks Expulsion. This has been such a tough decision, as you are a very close final four. I have judged you on your photo, theme, and your film for a total of 15 this week. The first name I will call is...
Ashley! 5+5+4=14/15 Photo: A
Congratulations Ashley, you had an amazing performance this week and will be the first girl to be a part of the finale.
Alessandra 4.5+5+4.5=14/15 Photo: B+
Congratulations Alessandra! You will be joining Ashley in the finale!
Will Robyn and Sasha please step forward? Robyn, overall you performed the weakest this week. What you struggled with was bringing variety to your photos. It's good to have a signature look but you cant rely on it to get you through each week consecutively. Sasha, you had my second favorite photo this week. However you had the weakest film, a lot of your frames seemed like photos I would expect at the beginning of the competition, not the final four. So who stays?
Robyn (3.4) 3.5+5+3.5=12/15 Photo: C+
Sasha (3.2) 5+5+3=13/15
Robyn, luckily you have a very strong history. The finale is coming up and its not the time to falter. Congratulations!
Sasha, *hugs her* This was suuuuuuch a tough elimination. I was almost tempted to do a non elimination but like I said earlier, I didn't plan on making that exception. I think you are an amazing model, and I remember in the beginning not thinking you were going to get far and then you started surprising everyone. I have no doubt you are going to make a splash in the industry. I am sorry Sasha, but you have been expelled, please pack your bags and go home. *hugs her again*

Sasha: Um, what? There must be some mistake...I couldn't possibly be eliminated, not me... *walks out confused* *exit confessional* I am clearly surprised to be going now, but I was up against 3 consistently strong competitors so I guess it really could have been anyone and unfortunately it was me. I am definitely proud of how far I made it though considering how slow my start was. At the beginning I doubted I would even make it to the middle of the competition and felt like I would never get recognition, so to have gotten all the way to the final 4 and to receive such kind parting words from Lara really means a lot. I know this isn't the end for me as a model though; I am going to go out there and become a star without the prizes. And as for those prizes, I kinda hope they go to Robyn because I feel like she has something a bit more special than the other two, and I would prefer to say that I was eliminated over the winner as opposed to a runner-up.
