1st

2nd

3rd


So congratulations Sasha on first and immunity and Karlie and Anabela on 2nd and 3rd place!

Ill try to have judging up tonight, but most likely not.

[funfun683]

Judging

Anabela

Your body looks absolutely sick in this photo Anabela, and in the good way. Your legs go on for mile and I love the pose. You are so selling the shoes, I think the face is good but a little weak expression wise, when you really focus on the eyes its a little dead and you did lose your neck, but well done overall.

Daria

I really like this photo of you Daria. I think you nailed the pose and the expression, you really look like a bad girl at an underground party, and for a really sexy photo you still kept it editorial.

Doutzen

I really like this Doutzen. You look like a bad ass chick, I think the intensity in the eyes is great and seeing you here you are so pretty so its totally not what I would have expected to see from you. Its a pleasent surprise.

Joan

I like it and I see a Rihanna influence in this, but I dont love it. I think the face is nice but you arent evoking enough emotion to blow me away, and the hands look very awkward. The pose is nice though and you managed to make that outfit look not terrible so props on that.

Julia

At first glance it does look like a good photo, but I do feel like its very awkward. The hands especially are awkward and just look very posed as opposed to natural, and the tense mouth just makes the expression look awkward as well.

Karlie

You look like this badass rocker chick and I love that. I think the pose is amazing, you are giving your body fantastic angles. However I dont like the face, I get that you were going for a grungy expression but to be honest I just dont think it looks atractive.

Kelsey

First of all, I want everything you are wearing. That outfit is heaven. Second of all, you do remind me of a drunk Kesha trying to walk through the streets, which in this case is fantastic. The pose is great and I like the movement, I think the expression could be more powerful overall but good job.

Ksenia

This to me is very Gaga, I actually really love the weird angle on your legs because they look ridiculously long and bent, but in a really high fashion way where the awkwardness works. The hand placement is great and I love the intensity and attitude you are giving with both your pose and expression.

Lara

If this isnt Rihanna then I dont know what is. This is another amazing photo Lara, first of all that pose is sick. You outstretched your body to fill the frame, arched your back and kept it all very sensual but not slutty, and the facial expression is lovely too its very intense and sensual. Oh and you totally sold me the shoes too.

Lea

This is really different. And it works. I love the pose, you are giving me angles like crazy and your body just looks amazing. And I have to give you props because thats probably not an easy pose to hold stiff for. The face is sexy and you totally sell me the shoes as well.

Mariacarla

I dont really like this, in going through your film I thought it was very weak. I like the face, it has a sensuality to it. But I dont like the pose, I think its boring and the hands are incredibly awkward. It makes your body look weirdly twisted and you lost your neck as well.

Marloes

I definately like this shot Marloes. The almost crazy expression in the eyes with the pose, I immedietly get some Fiona Apple vibes from it. Your legs look great and in general I love how you did a sitting down pose but you still kept the length of your body. I will say though your film was bad and this was the only good photo.

Sasha

Once again you have not let me down. I love this Sasha. You really didnt need any great setting and styling to work this, you just took a leather jacket and a cigarette and made it work. I mean the expression just tells the whole story, your strong cheekbones with that intense expression is just fantastic.

[funfun683]

Elimination

Maryna: Hello ladies and welcome to our third cut. Overall this week was either hit for some or miss for others. It came down to two girls for the fco but one girl definately shown above the rest. Congratulations.............































































LARA! Well done, this is also your 2nd fco so congratulations on that too.





















SASHA! Its still early, but you and Lara are definately starting to rise as frontrunners. Congrats!
































LEA! Fantastic job Lea!
























DARIA!
























MARLOES!







































DOUTZEN!






































KSENIA!




























ANABELA!






























KARLIE!


















































































KELSEY! I feel like you still havent done anything to really impress me so step it up.









































JOAN!
















































Will Mariacarla and Julia please step forward?
Mariacarla, you started that first week with a bang. Then your 2nd week was good not amazing, and now you had the worst photo this week. This is a problem because its like you are basically going downhill. Julia, youve been consistant those first two weeks, doing great in both. However this week your photo was posed and seemed forced, I didnt believe it. So who stays?










































































































































































Neither of you are going home this week. I feel like you both have a lot of potential and a lot more to give, so both of you are staying. Dont prove me wrong though, congratulations.

1. What made you pursue modeling?
Fashion is a passion of mine. To be a model, it takes more than just pretty face. I love when everybodys eyes are on me, and it helps me with inner-confidence. I dont want to make the 'fashion' i want to be the 'fashion' ;D

2. What do you think are your chances of winning the competition?
I think for being a strong and believing to myself.. Ofcourse, sometimes we're in the bottom but there's another way for improvement. I always show my best to improve my performance every week. I'm not contented in the middle. I want to be on top (: I have that confidence.

3. Who do you considering your biggest threat?
All these girls are good. But wait, Let me think..
Hmm. In my opinion. Its either Lara or Sasha. They are both good competitor. Lara got her 2nd FCO last week. while sasha got the runner up photo last week, ofcourse she already had a FCO on the previous week. These girl are the frontrunners of this competition. But, I will not let myself down.

4. Which contestant do you think should not be here?
I think anybody deserves the spot. Period.


5. Tell us something about you that the average person wouldnt know.
I have these 3 traits: Fun, Likeable, Unique. I dont need long description about myself just because i'm being me.

For having the self-confidence. I think i have what it take to become the next top face (:

Sasha

Challenge

1. What made you pursue modeling?
At first I really didn’t know such thing as a fashion model. I was a geek, and still am. I was in college taking arts when there was a seminar on artistic photography. One of the speaker was a fashion photographer, and then I was inspired with his talks about the artistic view of fashion. Because I am an artist, and I think being a model would allow me to showcase a different kind of art that my paintings couldn’t.

2. What do you think are your chances of winning the competition?
It’s still too early to say what my chances are. I think everyone had a good chance to make till the end, but you wouldn’t know. Right now, I’m just happy that I am still here and I was able to do all the shoots and the wonderful experience this competition is giving me. I didn’t want to think of other trivial things and focus on myself. On how I could improve myself, on how I could make sure that I will give my every best in each week, and hopefully, that will make to the end.

3. Who do you considering your biggest threat?
Everybody is a threat! Everybody is gorgeous! Everybody has something special and has talents and looks that could stand out. Maybe there are those who would excel more in a particular, but we are not sure how they will perform in the next. But just like I said, I didn’t want to think of anything rather than myself. Thinking of other contestants would only make me lose focus on myself.

4. Which contestant do you think should not be here?
No one! As I said we are all gorgeous! I think everyone was casted for a reason. And if someone went home, I believe that there was also a reason behind it. It’s just that, everybody has its time in this comp.

5. Tell us something about you that the average person wouldnt know.
That I am the tallest in my family. Well, I am considered petite as a model, but actually I am even taller than my father by half an inch.

Ksenia

Challenge

1. What made you pursue modeling?

I love fashion. Being a model was my dream. As a little girl, I took at the copy of Vogue my mom bought and look at the models in pretty dresses and copy them. I even sometimes go through my mother’s make-up and wardrobe, doing some model poses in the mirror. And even as I grew up, it is still my dream.

2. What do you think are your chances of winning the competition?
I think I could do well. I think I was casted here because I have it. It’s just that I haven’t fully utilized it yet. Right now, I am not performing as I want to be, but at the same time I feel like I am growing. And hopefully, I could improve myself faster to move forward and maybe win this.

3. Who do you considering your biggest threat?
Myself. I think my biggest competition are the inner demons inside of me. I sometimes feel insecure and second guessing myself that maybe makes me lose my focus.

4. Which contestant do you think should not be here?
I don’t want to answer that question. All I know is that I am happy and I am happy with the other girls.

5. Tell us something about you that the average person wouldnt know.
I love monkeys! They are my favorite animals in the world!

Anabela
1. What made you pursue modeling?
Well, ever since I was a little girl, all I really wanted to be was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. By the time I reached adolescence, I hadn't grown a shell or developed any mutant powers, so I had to give that dream up. But I realized that since I was tall, thin, and doll-like, I fit the prerequisites of being a model better than a turtle so I decided to give it a shot.

2. What do you think are your chances of winning the competition?
I think I have a great chance of winning the competition. I have consistently done well yet there's still room for improvement, and I have been proving my versatility as well. I might not be the most obvious threat, but in my ninja training I learned a silent threat is the best threat of all so the other girls better watch out for when I pop out of the shadows and take them down.

3. Who do you considering your biggest threat?
A ninja never underestimates the competition, so obviously I see plenty of threats here. Lara and Sasha are the most obvious threats, but I also wouldn't count out girls like Daria and Karlie for their obvious potential, and I definitely also see Lea as a threat because she seems to be making the most drastic improvements and stands out the most.

4. Which contestant do you think should not be here?
I think all of us deserve to be here. We all earned our spots based on our talent and/or potential and I trust that Maryna has weeded out the weakest links by now.

5. Tell us something about you that the average person wouldnt know.
When I have children, I am going to name them Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo. And if I only end up having one child, then he shall just have 3 middle names. And if it's a girl...well, she'll get used it I'm sure.

Lea
1. What made you pursue modeling?
In case saying a love and passion for the fashion industry is too cliche, I'll add a second cliche and say that I want to show the world a different type of beauty, and that it does not matter what you a born but rather what you become.

2. What do you think are your chances of winning the competition?
I'd definitely say I have a good chance of winning this competition. So far I have consistently moved up in the call-out and improved my performance each week, so at this rate the top spot should be mine soon. I also have a certain stand-out factor that might give me an edge over the others.

3. Who do you considering your biggest threat?
I like to focus on my own performance and work on what I can do better so I don't let myself get threatened by the other girls, but I do recognize that I do have some big competition to take down like Lara and Sasha. I could also see Anabela sneaking up and taking this if she continues to be so consistent.

4. Which contestant do you think should not be here?
I think we all earned our spots and as far as I know none of us cheated to get here, which is the only reason I could see for someone not deserving their spot.

5. Tell us something about you that the average person wouldnt know.
I have legally changed two aspects of my identity: first, my birth name was Leandro but I now go by nothing other than Lea. And second, my physical sex at birth was male, but that did not match my true identity so I've had that changed as well.
