*the limo picks the girls up and brings them to the airport* *they are greeted at the entrance by Liya*
Liya: Hello lovely ladies! It's good to see you here bright and early, because your plane leaves promptly at 8...PM. *the girls look confused* Yes, you ladies are here about 14.5 hours early for your flight because we have one more important thing to take care of before we leave...another elimination. *the girls gasp* Yes, in this brief time before we leave, we have to complete another challenge, photoshoot, and elimination! So, let's get to it. The task: IMPRESS ME. You guys have been doing it all cycle, but now I want you to kick it up a notch and blow my socks off.
For the challenge, we are going to head to the runway, and I mean an actual airplane runway, and use it to show me your most impressive runway walks! (Can be a photo or a gif/video) Then, after the runway show, you are at complete freedom for the photoshoot. You have your own personal photographers and stylists here, do whatever you want...the only guideline is that you only get 3 frames (applies to the runway as well). Any more will be disregarded. Good luck!

I'm not going to be able to post until late tomorrow night (around 8pm). Sorry about that. I'm actually on my iPhone right now so all I can really do is post this message. Sorry about the delay.

CHALLENGE RESULTS Liya: Hello lovely ladies! This week you had both a challenge and a photoshoot, both of which were very crucial because they determined who will not be going abroad on the flight that leaves in an hour. Your challenge was to strut across the runway with the most impressive walk you could muster, and not only will your walks count for 1/3 of your total score this week, but there was also the final immunity prize on the line this week. Overall you ladies did pretty well on the runway, but there were definitely three standouts: Daria, Gertrud, and Nadine. In the end the winner was clear to me though, and that was... GERTRUD! You looked so amazing on that runway, you won the final immunity challenge so you get to keep your first class ticket, guaranteeing yourself the best seat on the plane abroad. Congratulations! |

JUDGING Liya: We are strapped for time since our flight leaves soon, so I'm going to skip the usual intro and get straight to the critiques, so let's get started! Ashley: You did a decent job on the runway, there was a lot of personality to your strut and I like how you are bringing back the signature walk, there could have been a little more control and poise to it though. Your photo is giving me serious Caroline Trentini vibes, you could pass as her sister or even herself here and that's definitely a big compliment. I really like the pose, you are a bit scrunched up yet you actually look tall and your legs look great. Your skin also looks great and this is a fantastic angle for your face, I especially love your jawline here. Your face could use more energy though, there isn't much going on with your expression. Bianca: You were pretty good on the runway, but you lacked a certain energy and power to stand out. Your photo, on the other hand, definitely does stand out. It was risky to go with something so simple, but it really works. There is so much power in your expression, your eyes are very piercing, and you look very beautiful yet edgy. Your pose is simple, but definitely has power, and I really like the symmetry of this photo. Candice: Your walk (2nd) was decent, but honestly my least favorite. I do appreciate the risk you took and I do like that you have a signature walk with all your hip motion and attitude, but it was a bit too sexy and commercial, make it more versatile. Your photo, on the other hand, is about as far from commercial as it gets. This is very dark, edgy, and mysterious, which I like since you are such a pretty girl in front of me. Your expression is very haunting and creepy, and I love how you are partially hidden. I also how you are working with the fabric and the dress, and though I love your curves your hips look a bit disproportionately large here, and you completely lack a neck. This is still a good photo, but not your best. Daria: I loved the simplicity of your walk, you didn't need to do anything dramatic to stand out and impress me, and I also loved how fresh and natural you looked. Your photo is pretty good, though I had slightly higher expectations. Your pose is great, I love the motion and the point in your toe, and it's very in the moment and passionate which I also love. I'm not sure if it works perfectly for that outfit though, it makes your proportions look a bit weird. Your face is pretty good, I love the thrown back head and sensuality, though there is a little strain visible. Gertrud: You already know your walk was great, so I'll skip that critique and go straight to the photo. Girl, you did not need that immunity, this is wonderful! You look like a water nymph enticing someone into the depths of her pond. Your eyes are very captivating and alluring, and the partial shadow gives you a mysterious quality that I love. The hand and partially open mouth were a risk, but it pays off to give this a slight sexuality that works. You also look beautiful like usual. My only critique would be your neck, but that's a very minor detail. Karlie: You did very well on the runway, you were actually a standout so I don't know why I didn't mention you when I announced the winner, but oh well. You had a lot of power and umph, my only critique would be to have a little less bounce. Now, your photo is also very strong. Your gaze is incredible, your eyes are so piercing I can barely stand to look at them and I just love all the intensity in your face in the tension in your pose. You're doing a great job of selling the bag and outfit, and your legs look great. My only critique would be the slight lack of neck, but that's very minor. Nadine: You were very close to winning the runway challenge, you have plenty of strength in your face and you had a lot of attitude in your strut, you powered through the heavy styling well. I quite like your photo was well, it's very eerie and mysterious. I love how you worked your alienesque quality, you look like a Martian princess stranded in a crater or something. Your body looks amazing, especially your legs and neck, and you are really working that dress. You also have a great connection with something in the distance, and your face looks uniquely beautiful. |

ELIMINATIONS Liya: Hello lovely ladies! Our flight leaves in a matter of minutes so I need to make this quick. However, I just realized that you still don't even know where we are flying to! So, without further ado, this cycle's international destination is... BERLIN, GERMANY!!! But of course, only 6 of you will be flying to Berlin while the other will be flying home. So, without further ado, the first name I am going to call is... GERTRUD! Congratulations Gertrud, you really did not need that immunity this week because you did the best job overall. You'll be flying first class to Berlin! KARLIE! Wonderful job this week as always, the other girls really should be watching out for you. NADINE! Congratulations, you stepped it right back up and really impressed me this week! BIANCA! Well, no surprises here, you made it to Berlin! DARIA! Congratulations, you're also on your way to Berlin! Will Ashley and Candice please step forward? Ashley, I am a bit surprised to see you here, but Gertrud already received this critique so it's time you heard it too. As this is your second time around, I have higher expectations for your performances, and in a week like this when my expectations were extra high already, you really need to outperform everyone and you didn't. You did a great job, but everyone else called above you did better, and recently I've realized that's a common theme considering that you are the only girl who has yet to receive a first call-out. And then we have Candice. Candice, you have produced some of the best photos of this competition, in fact if we still had a top 5 then at least 2 of your photos would be there right now. The problem with you now is consistency, and losing your spark. This is your second time in the bottom two in a row, and I am beginning to wonder if that top-notch girl is gone. So who stays, the girl with consistent performances who can't seem to make her way to the very top, or the girl who has been extremely strong in the past but is struggling in the present? *flips photo* CANDICE! I hope a change of scenery will bring back that girl who was always on top. Step it back up because you were extremely close to being eliminated this week. Congratulations, you are flying first class to Berlin! *tears up a little* *hugs Ashley* Ashley, you have been one of my favorites here so it really sucks to see you go. It was only 1.5 points that sent you home so you were very, very close to staying, but being in this cycle already was your second chance so I couldn't keep you. I know you will go on to do great things in the industry though, so don't give up. Goodbye, and good luck. *hugs her again* |

*Their new German limo brings the ladies to a huge German castle* *Liya comes out to greet them*
Liya: Guten Tag, ladies, and welcome to Germany! This week we will be getting a taste of German culture in our photoshoot. Germany is very well known for its castles, which why we are at such a beautiful landmark, but it is also known for its folklore and fairy tales; the brothers Grimm and their Grimm Fairy Tales originated here, and that is what you will be portraying in your photos this week. Pick one of their fairytales, or an aspect of German folklore, and portray it in a photo. If you can't find one that appeals to you and you need a last resort, then you can just pose in the castle in a couture gown, but if you choose that option then it better be a stunning photo.
However, before the photoshoot, we have another challenge. As well all know, not every fairy tale has a happy ending, and for five of you, this competition won't. So this week, take a look around at your competition and think about who you think will reach that happy ending, and who won't. You will all be meeting with me one on one (so pm me) to tell me which girl you see as your biggest competition (other than yourself) and who you see as your weakest competition, and explain why.
Good luck!
