The Elite Top Model 5

Judging

Covergirl

Alisar

I think its a good photo, I wouldnt say its amazing though. I think the eyeshadow and lipstick look amazing so you sell the product really well, but I dont love the eyes to the inside. I want a make up ad to really capture my attention and that doesnt do it, I also think the lips are awkward looking.

Catherine

This is easy, breezy, covergirl! I think you really nailed the client Catherine. This shot is so soft and free, without being overtly commercial. I love the wind in the hair, your face looks amazing as always and your eyes are stunning.

Montana

This is really reminiscent of Drew Barrymores ads to me. I think you look beautiful and commercial but also with an edgy vibe. I really love the intensity in your eyes and how its strong but not overwhelming, coulda probably used more neck and had more of the focus on the make up, but well done Montana.

Harpers Bazaar

Alisar

Like your Covergirl photo, its okay but not amazing. I think that you look elegant but also strong at the same time. I think the styling screwed you over a bit because it makes you look a bit drag, but then at the same time you didnt exactly do anything particular interesting here either. I got really confused near the end of your film because you went commercial, which is fine, but totally lost the glamour and it wasnt fashion forward.

Catherine

Harpers Bazaar is such a top notch client and going through your film I felt like it looked maybe a little amatuer. Nothing really fit their aesthetic of glamorous but still sellable. I think this got the glamour part down, your face photographs amazingly like always, I think whowever did your hair should be fired though. You could have also posed in a more flattering way for your body.

Montana

I think you did the best out of the girls in finding that elegant and glamorous, but still commercial look. That being said I dont love this photo, I think of it as the best of the worst. I think you look a bit deer in the headlights, sort of like you werent expecting the camera to shoot. But you do look incredibly beautiful though, and beauty sells.

I love your cover Alisar. Vogue Italian often does themed covers which include multiple models and are full body. My eyes are drawn to the other model first but I like the attitude in your shot and your facial expression, just wish you would have tried to make yourself look taller. Your first page is good, I like how you look protective and strong as the "guy" in the picture, your profile is great. I dont love your second page is much, while I think the pose is good the face looks a bit silly, like you sucked your cheecks in too much and then pouted. I love the third page, again you are giving that intensity in the face and your posing is effortless. Your last page is my favorite, you really embrace the androgyny look Alisar and this shot is very calm but serious looking at the same time, very guy-like and timeless feeling as well. Overall they were all good photos but my one negative is that you were in profile the entire spread, it just lacked diversity.

I love your cover as a photo Montana, especially those big eyes. But I dont like this as a cover. Its too simple, if I put this in a magazine stand it wouldnt necesarily draw my eye, it would make more sense as a test shot. Now your first page, is absolutely freaking amazing. So stunning, you look elegant, sensual, timeless, etc. Your second page, is honestly one of my least favorite pictures of you, I think you look manly. The hand is awkward, your shouders look huge, your jaw looks more manly and the eyes are just dead for me. I dont really like it at all. Your third page is much better, its a good photo. I dont like the hand in this though, it looks like its coming out of nowhere. As for the face, it does look like your being blinded by the light but in a more elegant way. Your last page is amazing! I adore it. I love how you worked with the prop and I love the softness and the emotion you are evoking. Overall your good shots were amazing, but your bad ones did bring the spread down.

Montana: *holding hands with Alisar with her head down and her eyes closed* *tears running down her face* *hears her name* *looks up with her jaw dropped* No way. *covers her mouth and begins to smile* No way. No. No. No. Oh my god. *hugs Alisar* Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Holy cow. Oh my god. Thank you so much, Tyra! *hugs her* I am just in shock. I promise I'll say something meaningful when I can breathe. *begins to hyperventilate* Give. *sniff* me *sniff* like *sniff* five *sniff* more *sniff* seconds *sniff* *continues hyperventilating for longer than five seconds* Oh kay. *sniff* maybe just a *sniff* little longer.

Confessional: Oh my god! I can't believe it! I did it! This is just so amazing and I was really expecting Alisar to win. I knew I probably had the strongest finale performance of all the girls, but I was not sure if it would be enough. I'm just so proud of myself. I did it!

Me: Another spectacular game, funfun. I love using Top Model girls, but rarely do because of the runway challenges and stuff that many of them haven't done before. I really enjoyed it and I will definitely play next cycle!
