JUDGING Liya: Hello lovely ladies, and welcome to our seventh judging! This week you ladies got a break from your primary brands and got assigned secondary brands based partially on what I think fits you well and partially on what I'd like to see from you. Those sub-brands were Beauty, Catalog, and Runway, and it is within those Brands that you will be judged this week. So let's get to it, starting with the Beauty girls! BEAUTY Cara - You know, choosing a best frame for your shoot this week was nearly impossible, most of your shots were so stunning and there was so much variety from commercial at the beginning to edge at the end. In the end I chose this because it is the edgiest and the biggest break from your primary commercial brand. Your eyes are incredibly piercing, I feel like you are looking right through my soul, and your skin and bone structure look fantastic. The only tiny drawback about this photo is that I don't like how your mouth is partially open, which was a problem throughout your film, but it also draws attention to your luscious lips which look great in that lipcolor, so it's not a big problem at all. Needless to say, I love this shot, great job. Eniko - You had a nice film, but there wasn't really a stand-out shot that made me go WOW, and there were also a few shots in there that weren't really beauty shots so I was disappointed that you had a little difficulty following directions again. Anyway, I do like this shot, you have a lovely profile and I like how the blue streaks are tracing it out, it makes the shot all the more interesting. Your jawline and skin look great, and I like how your eyes connect with something in the distance, though I wish you had a stronger expression because I think that's the main thing that holds this back from being a WOW shot. Thuy - What I find most interesting about this photo is that it's very regal, expensive, and editorial, yet also commercial at the same time, and since you are a Couture girl I am happy to see you can still pull off commercial. I think you look very beautiful here, your bone structure and skin are looking fantastic as usual, and I love the sparkle in your eyes. The half-smile is nice, but also a bit awkward, I think either a fuller or a subtler smile would've been better. But overall very nice job. CATALOG Kim - Interesting, I see you went for more of an upper-end sexy chic catalog than the conventional one, and the end result is better than I had expected! Your legs look amazing, I like the popped hip combined with the arch in the back, you have a good neck extension, and your face looks amazing at this angle. You actually look quite mature here in a good way and you're giving an expression I haven't seen from you before, so I'm very happy to see you expanding your versatility. You're also doing a great job of selling the ensemble from head to toe, I want to buy the shoes, shorts, and even the earrings. I could definitely see this in a catalog like Express. Natasha - I struggled with where to place you because you actually fit all three of the sub-brands quite perfectly, but this shot shows me that I made no mistake, Catalog is a good match for you. This is very upper-end, top designer lookbook type of catalog, you look so expensive and posh and luxurious, and you make me want to buy everything you are wearing. You look great and sell yourself without overshadowing the outfit, which is exactly what catalog calls for so great job! Nathalie - *sighs* You had such an easy task that I expected you to excel in, but then you went and turned out a shot that was so...catalog, which is exactly what I wanted so great job! This may not have been much of a challenge for you, but it gives you a chance to perfect something before you go out and do it on your own at least. You look great, you sell the shirt, you're connecting with the camera, and you're doing your job as a model, I could easily see this in any catalog. RUNWAY Bambi - I was shocked with how unimpressed I was with your runway performance, it's not that you did poorly, but you really struggled to bring everything together. Your walk was either way too stiff or way too loose, or your expression was too bored or too angry. So my big critique is to find a balance, though I think you are one of the girls that could get booked for runways regardless of your walk because of your potential. I do like this pass though, you look very clean and strong, I really like your face especially. Your body is a bit stiff and your stride is a bit rigid so work on that though, and you look a little short. Kate - You know how I talked to you about fading last week? Well, I am sorry to say...you are making me eat my words, because you are right back at the top this week. Your walk is fantastic, so elegant and refined, you had a great pace and the perfect strut, and your face had just the right amount of presence in it. Plus this is probably the prettiest I have seen you look, and you listened to my advice last time about not doing the lemon-lips on the runway. Well done! Marcelina - Oh Marcelina, like your beauty shot last week, you definitely did a great job but I'm also quite positive that you could have done even better. I did quite like all the attitude you had in your strut and expression, it made it edgier and more theatrical, I could easily see this being part of a runway show during Paris Haute Couture week, like for Dior or something. I wish your lips weren't quite so pouty though, and you also look a little short, and since you are on the shorter side you should always make sure to extend your legs and neck to their fullest, and maintain perfect posture, so that you measure up. Still a great walk, but I know you're capable of more.

ELIMINATIONS Liya: Hello lovely ladies! This week you all were divided into sub-brands and had to exemplify your sub-brand in a photo, and overall the results this week were outstanding, you all really fit your sub-brands quite fantastically. It was a particularly difficult call-out order and elimination to decide this week, I went back and forth between 3 girls for the first call-out and I didn't feel that any performance was at all elimination worthy, but an elimination must be made. The call-out order was also difficult to decide because I wasn't sure what to do about the brand division. So this week, I am not going to call the top brand first, though the top sub-brand this week was actually CATALOG, which goes to show that even the simplest shots can leave a big impact. The Catalog girls will all still receive immunity, but this is the last Brand Immunity to be given out. From now on, the call-out order will be completely independent of brands. Now, the first name I am going to call is... KIM! I didn't at all imagine that the FCO would go to a Catalog photo, but your shot really knocked my socks off. You should be proud, congratulations! KATE! You were extremely close to the first call-out, but either way I'm glad to see you back at the top, keep yourself up here! CARA! Your photo this week was divine Cara, I think I might even frame it and hang it above my couch. You were also very close to the FCO, so you should be very proud. NATASHA! THUY! MARCELINA! NATHALIE! I'm surprised to see you so close to the bottom, but after re-evaluating the photos, I realized yours didn't stand out much. But don't feel bad about the low call-out, you weren't even close to being eliminated and still did well this week. Will Bambi and Eniko please step forward? Bambi, I'm a bit surprised to see you here in the bottom two, you started off as a bit of a silent threat and recently I'd consider you a frontrunner, but this week you really struggled to pull everything together. Your end result was still quite good, though not without flaws, but I am beginning to wonder if you are cracking under the pressure. Eniko, your photo this week was pretty good as well, but like I said to Shalom last week, we are at the point when good is being weeded out from great. And especially since you are still picking yourself up from the bottom, you needed something stellar instead of good to bring you back up to the top. So who stays? *flips photo* BAMBI! I think it's a bit obvious you were staying, and to be completely honest you truly weren't at any risk of being sent home so don't take this bottom 2 very hard, you were mainly here because somebody had to be. But do practice that walk of yours a bit more, and remember that the minor details can be costly. Congratulations, you are still in the running. *hugs Eniko* Eniko, I know you've had a bit of a rocky, up-and-down journey in this competition, but I'm very glad that you were able to participate. You have a rare beauty about you and such a beautifully curvaceous body, I know you can go very far in the fashion industry if you try your hardest. However, sadly, this is the end of the road for you here. Goodbye, and good luck! *hugs her again*

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT *Eniko leaves the judging room and is sent off to pack her bags and head to the airport* *The girls stand around chatting for a little while, and then start to walk towards the door like usual to get to the limo to go home* *Liya stops them* Liya: Wait a second, ladies! *they turn around and look at Liya* I have a special announcement to make! Natasha, could you please step forward? *Natasha's eyes go wide and she nervously steps foward* Liya: Natasha... CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE THE TOP GLAMOUR GIRL!!! *confetti falls and Liya hugs Natasha* That's right, as you must have noticed, with Eniko now gone that leaves you as the last girl remaining in the Glamour Brand, thus making you the top Glamour girl! So you have won the $50,000 ad campaign with Victoria's Secret as well as the cover and spread of GQ magazine! *Natasha gasps and jumps up & down while all the other girls clap for her* *Liya hands Natasha the check, as well as her VS ad and GQ cover, then sends her back to the other girls* So, we've got our first Brand winner figured out now, who will be next? As the numbers dwindle and with the Commercial and Editorial brands only having 2 girls left apiece, I anticipate that our next Brand winner will be revealed very soon. But now, you are dismissed and may go home to sleep and await your next assignments.

*the limo brings the ladies to the studio* *Liya comes out to greet them, styled very sexily*
Liya: Hello lovely ladies! It's weird looking out at you with exactly half as many girls as we started with, and already with a Brand winner among us *Natasha smiles*. To celebrate our halfway point, I decided it was time for us to do something fun and spontaneous!
As you've probably noticed, I'm looking a bit sexier than usual this week, and I'm not typically much of a sexy glamour girl. However, even though we get branded once we become top models, it is important that you are also able to mold into a different brand when need be in order to make it to the top! I'm typically a high fashion, editorial model, but even I have walked for Victoria's Secret and done other glamour work. So this week, I decided to spontaneously switch the Brands at random! In your photoshoot this week, you will have to represent your new brand to your best abilities. So here are the reassignments:
COMMERCIAL Kim Natasha
COUTURE Bambi Nathalie
EDITORIAL Cara (note to FunFun: when I sent you the shoots in advance for when you went away, I think I said Glamour for her but I meant editorial, sorry!) Kate
GLAMOUR Thuy Marcelina

JUDGING Liya: Hello lovely ladies! This week I spontaneously changed up your Brands to test your versatility and give you something new for a change, so let's take take a look and find out which are you are the jack-of-all-trades type and which of you are just one trick ponies. We shall start as always with Commercial, though this time it's a new batch of commercial girls! COMMERCIAL Kim - I am so torn on this photo, but I couldn't have chosen any other one because the rest of your film was so pedestrian. I do like that you really went for it, and that it's a completely new expression for you, and it certainly is commercial so you do get an A+ for effort here. As for execution, well...it's a bit over the top and you lost some of your model, I wish you had toned it down a bit. It is at least believable and genuine seeming though, and I like the neck extension and your skin is positively glowing. Next time I'd recommend just smiling instead of going for a big laugh in a photo though. Natasha - There was something really off about your film this week, I think it's probably because a lot of your shots were styled and posed so expensive and edgy, but then you just had a big fake smile that contrasted awkwardly. Your smile seems more genuine here though, you look very cute and flirty, and this is definitely a passable commercial photo. I think it's a little safe though since it overlaps with Glamour which is your original brand. COUTURE Bambi - As I flipped through your film, most of your shots were so good but also so editorial, I didn't really get much that was truly couture out of you. You got to the brink of couture in a few, and in this one I think you went just couture enough, so it works. Usually I criticize girls for losing limbs, but I think the fact that you have no arms here is so interesting, it gives your body a unique shape and makes me think of a bust. And I also usually criticize people for a blank expression, but that also actually works here, the confusion and emptiness make you seem like the victim of a weird experiment. All your facial features, especially your lips, eyes, and bone structure, look fantastic here as well. It's a very strange photo with a lot of risks, but it somehow works. Nathalie - You struggled a bit to really capture couture in your film, but you got it in the end. I love the movement of this shot, the flowing fabric and flailing limbs make it quite interesting. I love the point in your toes and how you are fully extending all your limbs, you look very long and graceful and majestic. Your face also looks beautiful and the serenity is nice, there's an angelic quality to this I like. I don't like the tension in your neck and jaw, and I would've liked it if you went for something edgier and fiercer because I already knew you could do soft, but this is still a very strong shot. EDITORIAL Cara - I like this, I could easily see this as either a cover or the main shot of an editorial. Your connection with the camera is fantastic, I feel like we're engaged in a staring contest, and even though there isn't much power in your eyes there's still a story behind them that captures my attention. I also like how your pose is partially broken but still comfortable and natural, and maintaining great posture was definitely a good idea to hide your height. It's not the most exciting photo, but it's definitely a strong one. Kate - It's interesting that you and Cara went for such similar concepts and photos, I'm not really sure which one of you executed it better. I like your face a little better, but I think her pose was better. Anyway, this is a strong shot, your face looks great at this angle and your eyes are very piercing, they instantly draw me in. The power of your face creates a cool contrast with your laid back pose, though I wish you had done something a bit more with your body and shown more neck. GLAMOUR Marcelina - It's interesting how in front of me you're such a quirky, awkward, innocent looking girl, yet in this photo you are so sexy and confident! I love it, you really pull off sexy quite well and you look very beautiful. There's a cool edge to this photo that reads tough girl sexy. Like the past couple weeks I do think you could have done just a little better, like perhaps gone one frame further with this set, but overall great job. Thuy - I wish you had just stopped your film at your first frame because then I wouldn't feel like you lucked into this, but whether this shot if from luck or skill I don't care because it's fantastic. I wasn't sure if you'd be able to pull off a sexy look, but you really worked it here. Your legs look fantastic and I love how you popped your hip to create curves, it makes your body look quite sexy. Your face also looks wonderful, you look beautiful and your expression is very sultry, and the come-hither alluring eyes work perfectly.
