Round Two
Location: Amazonian Rainforest

After hours of walking through the rainforest, passing what appeared to be the same indentical tree over and over, they finally came to a clearing. A blissful waterfall was splashing over a pool of water next to a dynamic rockface. The girls were pleased they had apparently finally reached their shoot destination, sweating from head to toe.

Niamh: GOD YOU'RE ALL A MESS!!! Thankfully for today's shoot...you're stripping down and getting into the water for a nice shower.

Today, you girls will be going natural and earthy. You'll all be posing beneath the waterfall wearing the assigned swimwear. In terms of posing you can do whatever you like, but you must be standing, you must be under the waterfall, and just be aware you have water hitting you! Think natural, beautiful, and fresh.

[i]Wardrobe
So girls, this is what you'll be wearing this round. All of you must wear this piece. Swimsuit by Simchic.

Round Specs

• Thigh/calf up shot. Keep your feet underwater at least.
• Edit onto the provided background yourself.
• Feel free to edit the lighting however you'd like to match the setting.
  I do suggest a little desaturation, but it's not required.
• Must wear the outfit provided.
• Hair should be loose and natural, makeup minimal if anything.

The Background
Edit yourself onto the background. Feel free to edit the lighting etc.


Best of luck girls!

Niamh clicked her fingers, and a jungle buggy pulled up and escorted her towards her luxury tent, while the girls were led to the hair and makeup tent.

DEADLINE: Monday 27th April @ 5AM GMT
Best of luck. Make it work.

(Ever so slightly earlier this round. Extensions are available though)

Welcome girls. This week you were all shot individually at this gorgeous beach location in Key West. All of your shots have been composted together, to create this season's group shot to launch the cycle.

Everyone, here are your best shots...



Congratulations girls, you each made a beautiful contribution to the shot. Your shots will now be forwarded to the judging panel, who will critique your original images. Best of luck girls...I hope the waiting doesn't kill you...much.

Destination A: Florida Keys
Theme: Vintage Beach Pinup

The girls walked into the judging room, in a gorgeous beach hut alongside the coast. Nervously, they awaited for Niamh to speak.

"Welcome girls, to judging number one. I would run through the prize, and the judges, but I ain't no Tyra Banks and if you don't know who's judging you, how the hell are you here?"

There were a few awkward glances between the girls.

"We're jumping straight into judging. They judges haven't chosen their identities yet (hahahahahaha), so they're currently numbered. How secretive"...*mysterious glare*

Dolly: Wow, that was some fierce hurricane that must've been going on in your shoot, because girl you look like you're being thrown out of the hammock! I give you credit for using the center position to your advantage and giving us a picture that is sure to at least get you noticed. Whether it's for the right reasons is a different matter. Your posing is very awkward, for one thing you look like you're resting on the ground, which of course, in a hammock, you are not. I don't feel anything from your expression. Even in your playfulness I don't actually get a feeling of playful. If I had, perhaps I would've felt this picture more. If you were going to try playful, perhaps a better angle where the camera sees more of the expression you were trying to achieve would have worked better for you, and a lot more "element of surprise" behind the eyes, because they're too squinted for what you were aiming for. However, it's shaded nicely, your skin looks gorgeous. The thought process is there, but currently you lack in your execution. Thanks Dolly. Ceres: The other judges are very impressed by this. However, I notice a drawback straight away. Your pose doesn't match the location you were placed into the group shot. Although it's your individual shot being judged, I specifically noted it was important for you to take your assigned space and make it work. You were placed in front of the tree, identical to Valerie's position but on the opposite side. Your pose made this impossible when it came to com positing the final cast picture together. So next time, even if you have a great idea, think whether it's suited first. However, there is no denying that this is a gorgeous shot of you. I do love the leg pop, and your expression is gorgeous. I am slightly worried that your face might photograph harsh in the future, but that gives you something to work with. Your features are very defined, and your lips seem slightly tight here. Try relaxing the expression by releasing the mouth a little to lessen the tension. Gorgeously shaded and edited, and great choice of accessory. And even though this shot works best with you leaning to the side of the tree, which is not where you were located, it's is a very strong picture. Thanks Ceres. Valerie: Very impressed by this shot. your pose is so relaxed yet modelesque, and your posture is fantastic. I love this, your legs look so lean and long! Beautiful shading too, I think this shoot has worked very well for you overall. My only concern is the face, I think it's lacking something. You're almost there but I don't see much life behind the eyes. In fact, you look a bit, annoyed. A bit more focus on yoru expression and you'll be much more of a standout. Try practicing with different expressions, narrower eyes, slightly open mouth, and your angles. You have a lot of potential and I'd hate you to leave because of you pulling the average expression. Mena: Pin up, all over. Fantastic, you hit the nail on the head. This is so gorgeous I don't even know where to begin. Your legs are divine and so long, you're really making the most of our sitting position. The bow in your hair is a lovely touch and your facial expression is spot on. You have done so well for the first round! A little bit more shading on her lower thighs/under her legs and it would've gone one step even further. Sheena: At casting, I was convinced you were one of the prettiest girls. You've proven me right. However, this is exactly that, pretty. I adore the angle your face is at, and this is exectued really well, but I'm worried that this is what you'll give us each week. I know I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, but this picture seems to be resting on what your mommy and daddy sim gave you. In terms of the shading, I think you need more of a gradient to your shading. Adding some more subtle yet highly important midtones between the shadows and highlights will help your shading progress so much further. Anne: I'm totally feeling upper east side girl lounging on the beach. There is a certain class to this picture that I do really like, the pose is gorgeous and you seem to have so much confidence. The shading is gorgeous, it's SO beyond the definition of smooth, you look milky. The downfall of this picture is the face. I don't like your expression at all. Your mouth is looking slightly trout pouty, it just looks so tight,a nd your overall expression is too angry/borderline bored. The theme set was vintage pin up. Your had the opportunity to make this so sexy, but it looks like you're angry at the photographer instead. Relax the face, you're beautiful, you've been cast, so now you need to work out your best expressions. Calypso: I adore your pose here, it works well with your surroundings, alongside the tree. The lighting is beautiful and you look very slim and tall in this shot. I am a bit worried about the ability for your face to hold makeup. I don't know whether it's this particular makeup, of the quantity used, or the color, but you look really old in this picture. Maybe try to soften the makeup, and if a round asks for strong makeup then give them something strong but always remembering what suits YOU. Also when drawing hair I suggest you pull some more strands out. It looks a bit flat right now with no flyaway hairs. Just grab the smudge tool on a small size, set to daren with a high % and pull the strands out. Thanks. Alexandra: I do like this, but I think the pose is so generic, there's nothing that excites or thrills me about this shot. However the hat is gorgeous and I really like the sunglasses too. I think you have a lot to prove to us though, you're not really standing about to be the strongest here quite yet. Be careful with the shading, mainly on your right arm, it looks like your forearm and upperarm are totally disconected and are pasted on top of eachother. Study how the human figure catches the light, it'll help! Thanks. Mikaela: This could have worked, if it wasn't so badly executed. You've imputted this quite messily, and it appears rushed. Your shading goes off of the skin and onto the transparent background, you can even see brush/rubber markings in certain places. This is a definite no go and it's unacceptable if you were booked by a magazine or an agency to do a transparent image. So make sure you ctrl+select the layer you're working on so the model is selected and therefore all shading will effectivly "stay within the lines". Careful with the face too. It's a bit too smudges out it's difficult to make out the expression in her eyes. Morgan: Firstly I have no idea what the hand behin your head is doing. This is mainly because it's unshaded, so it looks likes a shapeless skin colors blob, there' no definition of the fingers at all. I think you need to be a bit more confident with your shading, it's easier for you to go too far and for us to pull you in than the other way around. Don't be afraid to use slightly more dramatic shading, and balance it out with plenty of natural mid tones so it doesn't appear that there's too much of a contrast between light and dark. The facial expression here is far too pouty, the typical "i'm a model look"...when that is the last think a proffesional model would do. I just think it doesn't show any variation, is this what we're to expect of you each round? The pose, although slightly stiff, is coming from a good trail of thought at least, and I like this. Kierra: The simplicity of the pose is beautiful, but I'm a bit worried about you loosing your left arm! It's completely hidden and this makes the pose seem disformed in a way. I know that naturally sometimes at certain angles the arm would be hidden, but you have to fake it, edit your pose slightly so it's in view slightly. You have to be aware of what the camera is seeing. The shading on this is really good, but the behind the knee and calf area of your left leg looks a bit strange, it's a bit sharp. I also wish so much of your face hadn't been hidden behind hair because we now struggle to see your expression at all in this shot. It's coming across very much like you're stood there waiting for your shoot to start because quite frankly, I wouldn't have a clue what you're thinking behind those eyes because unfortunatly I can barely see them! Thank you. Ylenia: Your legs are so long, like beyond what they were even at casting. Leg growth surgery? That's not even possible right? I know there are angles that elongate the legs, but if you're going to emphasise the length of the legs careful not to make them TOO long, and at least compensate by having the upper body in matching proportion. In fact, the main issue with this is indeed proportions. The head is a bit too big, the upper body too short in comparison to the legs. This is something I hope you can overcome because the rest of the picture is great, I love the facial expression in particular. Sort out your proportions by counting how many heads you can fit in from head to toe. In general, a person is 7 and a 1/2 heads tall. So if you duplicate the head and try this out, if there's too many heads it's too small, too little and the head is too large. You could always learn to load heads into simpose for comparison purposes also. Your arms seem a bit on the skinny side too, so be careful of that, we don't want you photographing too thin.

Ceres: I was quite impressed with you, Ceres. In particular, your face is so feline and beautiful here! Your pose is so soft, feminine and suitable to the theme. I like the reflection in your sunglasses, it's an intelligent touch. Also, your shading is pleasantly delicate, and well-done. I would love to see your face softer at times in the future, because I worry that it may look too harsh at times. Dolly: I admire your creativity and don't think all of the girls would have went for it like you did if they had had to be in the center spot for the group shot. My main critique with your picture is that your creativity and intention was fantastic but the execution was not good. The pose is just not sophisticated enough, and needed a bit of fine tuning to achieve the fun-loving, girly, playful vintage that I thought you were attempting (which I think was very creative in comparison to just laying/sitting in the hammock that I thought other girls would have gone with). I think that if you were making eye contact, and smiling, and if your left calf and right forearm were if a more modelesque, in this case, a more restrained, feminine pose. Positively, I love your skin and its shading, though I think you should remember to smudge the slight lines on both of your elbows and perhaps the top of your right knee. Valerie: You look gorgeous. I love the flower you added, you remind of a Spanish Latina beauty here. The shading is perfect and so is the hair. There's not much to critique negatively, you've done everything right. The only negative critique I can think of is that your picture could be slightly forgettable, I'd love to see you stand out in future rounds. Alexandra: I think you did a pretty good job, Alexandra. There's not a lot to critique negatively; the shading is good, and you've accessorized well. I could suggest perhaps attempting a different facial angle for future rounds, as I'd love to see your face from another angle. The effort is apparent, so I'd love to see you attempt to bring your poses further, go a bit out of your comfort zone. Mena: Mena! Such an amazing first impression! You brought exactly what this round wanted, this is so inspired and appropriate on the vintage theme. From your fantastic pose to your gorgeous expression and from your amazing hairstyle to the well-done shading, this whole picture is just very impressive. The hand grabbing your right bicep is a creative pose and I love the detail there. I love the little shines on the realistic bracelets, they (and your expression) added such character and style to this picture! And the shoes! By far the best shoes any girl was wearing! Bring this again next round and we're gonna have somebody hard-to-beat. Calypso: You really impressed me! You took the round in a more sexy way yet managed to maintain the vintage swimwear theme. Your outfit on you looks fantastic! I notice your hands are shaded and detailed, and I absolutely love your hair and expression (though there is a slight bit of a slanted gape with your mouth). The only thing I could suggest is that the hair strands could be more detailed and under the hair and at the cleavage there could be some more shadow. Kierra: Overall, I think you did a good job. I really like your shading, it made you look gorgeous. I also like your hairstyle, it's creative, well-drawn and suitable to the vintage theme. One of the only things I will criticize are that the expression of your mouth looks a bit awkwardly "froglike", like a bit too puckered and/or pouty - which I think could have worked amazing for the vintage theme if you weren't holding your head up. The upward head in combination with the raised clavicles and the unbent arm makes the pose lose a bit of its fluidity but it's not a huge deal. The other thing would just be some of the edges of your outfit are a bit uneven. Morgan: I think of all the girls, you were the one that desperately needed some more shading. Unfortunately, you, including your body and hair, look flat. In the future, I would love to see you try to add stronger shading to your pictures, in particular, add depth by outlining your body with smooth shadows, that keep the direction of light in mind. Also, though arguably your pose is rather stiff, it shows more effort and creativity than a few other girls who just had their hand on their hip. Also, I would love to see you attempting some more visible, defined hair texture. Ylenia: Your legs look so long, though I'm not sure that proportionately this picture works. I think it's mainly the outlines of your thighs were your waist should be. Also your legs appear to be more pink than the rest of your body. I felt that you didn't seem to "demand attention", stand out or signify your own style as well as most of the other girls did, which I would love to see you do in future rounds. There's a bend at your elbows with your forearms that doesn't look real and looks rather elastically, and I would also suggest some more darker shading, probably just around the edges of your body to add more depth to your limbs and structure as it looks a bit too light and flat at the moment. Also I think your fingers are a little bit too thin. On a positive note, your face looks gorgeous and the hair I find no fault with. Anne: I really like this picture of you! The shading is very well done, and your look and pose is so classic for the vintage theme. Your legs look amazing, and I love the detail on your hands, ankles and eyes. I like your hair, it looks sleek and the end strands are well done, though I would suggest making the hair texture look more integrated together and have it flowing to all areas of your hair including your fringe, the back of your head and the strand ends, and then erasing away any stray texture strokes. Mikaela: I really hate to say it but you have a bit of a camel toe here. I like the frank you tried with your left arm, I would only suggest smudging where the different joints meet and keeping the edges of it clean and then it would look better. Though your pose is too boring, unfortunately, you pretty much are just standing there with your hand on your hip. In the future, I think you should attempt more interesting poses. Sheena: First off I just have to admit that I love girls with heritage from Samoa, you are a stunning diva with a beautiful face which I love at this angle! I also really like your pose, I felt it was very creative. I also love your hat, for me that was one of the more creative accessories of anyone. I think that your edges could've been a smoothed out (like just some of the non-round edges) and that the contrast between the highlights and the shadows of your shading could be a bit less.

Dolly: Well Dolly I don't know what to say really. You were the center of the image and I give you credit for carrying it out decently. But I know it isn't the best that you can do. With such an amazing face I know there could be more. But for this photo since you where on the hammock I wish you would have made your pose more relaxed instead of like "Oh Shiz... its about to tip over" Because that's it looks like, as if you were trying to keep your balance but when they snapped the photo you where about to fall. If you would have stretched your legs out nicely and let them flow, or maybe just put down that wild leg that's going up your legs would have looked amazing. And like one of the judges said, the face is fun but it doesn't please me completely. I wish you would have looked at us it would have been so much more powerful. I love the styling very simple as well, and like one of the other judges said. That hand that is like flat and stiff. I would have liked it just like hanging down or something, its just a very ok picture for a girl like you Dolly. Ceres: Wow. I really like this shot. Especially how you are playing with your accessory its very nice to see a refreshing and clean photo like this. You look very pinup/vintage. You got the styling correct. And wow your face is gorgeous, i am so glad that you put that little smile in for us. This to me is just a great picture over all. I can't wait to see you develop in this competition as a model. Valerie: Wow. Girl you have a very pretty face I love it. Your structure is just very unique and you have this timeless look and you push it through to us in this photo. I really love it. Im just wowed by your face, Your body loks very nice and relaxed and i love your legs. The only things I am having a problem is having a problem with. Is your shading. All the girls sort of radiate out, while you sort of become part of the background and not the group. Your really must be careful with that. Such as stunning face like you can't be fading in like that. Just try to establish where your light is coming and use your body angles correctly before you start a photo. Good Job Mena: Mena, Mena, Mena. This is an incredible photo, are you a real model in disguise. Cause this is so amazing. Your face looks stunning here. And you are so pretty. You have a very expressive face, and I have a feeling we are going to get to see a lot of different looks from you throughout the weeks to come. I love the legs, and the whole pose. Its just incredible. Very nice use of accessories as well.You have accessorized better than any of the girls. Keep doing what you are doing and you will have the competition in your hands. Sheena: This is a pretty picture. You have a pretty face. But I feel you will do better than this in the competition. Such a stunning face and amazing body. I think you could have done a stronger pose and not have gone so safe for this round. But I think you did all right. Just next time be careful with the positioning of your face. We want to see pretty angles, and we know that you are gorgeous. That is why you are here. But just try different angles for your face, this isn't a bad one just not your best. Anne: I love your legs here. They are so pretty, smooth and long. Your arms look amazing to me as well. I think this picture is absolutely great, pose wise. And styling and such. Your hair is very pretty. I just think that your face is too girl next door, so you have to try to edge it out a little bit. Maybe for makeovers you will need a drastic change. You are such a pretty girl but we don't want to rely on just pretty faces do we. But this picture is amazing can't wait to see what is coming next. Calypso: Wow. I love your top half so fierce, to me you have one of the most amazing faces in the competition as well. I would love to see you up close and personal in a beauty shot. Maybe in the future. I do love the top half. The only think is your fingers look a little short. The bottom I am not too fond with, i think your legs look short. And I am sure you not soo short. Try a little next time with making your legs flow well. Im sure you can do it, i have faith in you. Your face is amazing though which to me is the most important thing. Alex: Wow.We have so many stunners here, your face looks amazing. And I think your another one that has an amazingly expressive face. Keep using it well and to your advantage like you did in this photo and it will help you a lot. The pose is very pretty, i just think you look a little big around you arms, I don't have a problem with that. How ever i do think your head looks a little too small and thats why you look a little big. And the hat, is a little too small. Try to look at those little things because they sometimes help you out and work in your favor. Mikaela: Ok. This is to me one of the worst shots. Not the worst but one of the worst. It just isn't up to par with some of the others. And it looks as if you have no umph. As if you don't want to be here. You look super bored. And the photo is also sort of blurry. So I really can't make out where you are looking to. The pose is sort of nice but I think you could have done better. Morgan: Well I like the legs. But that's it, and the legs are even too short. Also there is almost no shading, I think that you should go where there should be shadows. Like underneath the arm maybe, and just use the dodge or burn tool. OR maybe just take a darker tone in her skin and smudge it. There are different ways. Just look at tutorials, and also real modeling photos for inspiration. There is also your face,I think its sort of boring. And You look at bit old. So watch out for things like that. Kierra: I think you look sort of sad in this photo. I wish that you would have at least put a little smirk on your face. And maybe looked at true vintage photos so that you had solid inspiration. I just don't see that you tried very hard. Its just an all right photo.Next time try to have a stronger and better face expression and also a better pose. More solid and not so safe. A lot of the girls went for safe this round. I do like the shading though, very soft and nice. But I recommend being a little cleaner. And making sure that you don't have any jagged edges or any parts missing. Because I can see on your arm that there is a part missing, and your legs are bumpy. So next time watch out for that. Ylenia: Wow. You don't stand out at all in the group shot. You are just lost in there. I do like your legs, they look long and lean. But I also recommend for you to read some shading tutorials so that you can get better on that. Because I look at your picture and everything is like bright lighting but then around your face its a lot of dark. The right side of your face looks good, and where your jaw meets the neck. But the left side I don't like so much which is sort of odd. I also think you look very thing, But maybe its just the way you posed. Your head also looks very big so make sure next time your are proportionate with your body. And read some tutorials, and look for inspiration. Because you lack experience like a few here and inspiration. So school your self in that aspect. And if you make it bring that to us next round. You also look sort of Angry, and you already have a strong face. So don't try too hard ok.

Judge Four

Dolly - I love the playfulness that you bring to the photo and being straight in the center of the photo you definitely know how to bring our eyes straight towards you. I like the pose, however I feel as through it is too over exaggerated. Your bottom arm which should be hanging looks as though it is on the surface. I'm not really buying your expression either. I feel as though you could have toned it down more you can still be silly, but you must also be fashion. I'm not liking the softball girl ponytail either. I do like your legs though and the way you bend those ankles in those heels. The way the lighting hits your legs makes it very sexy and desirable. Ceres - Was definitely right about you when I saw you in casting. While other judges did not quite see the potential I believed in you. I like how natural this photo is. It's pin-up but at the same time very relaxed. You have a very pin-up body as well. You've got curves. You're eye contact with the camera is excellent. I approve of your shades. I love the shadows on your legs as well. I would have liked to see more shading on the clotting, make it stand out more and bring it to life. Valerie - I love how gorgeous you look here. You look very tall, very thin figure which I like. One thing I would say is to watch your angles. You have a wide jaw which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think it's a good thing, you just need to work more with your angles. You can tell it hides behind your hair for the most part. I also like your face here very much, you are indeed working very well for the camera. I would also watch your shading as well. I would like to see more definition in your picture. The shading is very standard with the shadows on the side and the midtones in the center. I would like to see more done. Your outfit looks very flat, bring it more to life. I do like the pose though, it's very natural. Mena - This is one of my favorites for this round. This picture definitely screams pin up. I love the pose and even your hair is very vintage 40s/50s. I love how the shading that you have done, it really brought the everything to life and the definition in your body. You look very strong in confident in yourself. I also really like the legs. The accessories were also a nice touch and were well done as well. The only thing I'm not so crazy about is your expression. I'm not quite feeling it. Maybe its the squinted eyes or the lusty lips, but it just doesn't quote sell. Other than that this very well done. Sheena - I think you have one of the best complexion out of all the girls. I love the the smoothness of your legs and the shading is very well done. The usage of the umbrella hat was a nice choice, a very stand out in the crowd effect. I like your pose very much as well. I think what draws me away however, is the sloppiness in the upper body. There is less definition in your arms compared to your legs. You see the choppiness and where it was cut out. Smooth the edges a little bit. I do like your expression also, but I feel as though your eyes did not stand out. Some brightening in those areas can really make the difference. Very nice photo over all. Anne - Great body, gorgeous face, lovely pose, but boring expression? You looked bored here. What were you thinking when you took this shot? You need to bring more confidence in your face, really portray those emotions. Nonetheless I think this is a great photo. I like pin up style photo and the shading is very well done. I really like your legs there. I would make add more shadows though especially where the legs come at the body. Calypso - Haven't I seen you in that one movie? Haha I kid, but your face, not quite sure what it is, but you give this very porn star like appeal. Her face is way too lusty, try working on toning it down a bit and a little less make up as well. I do like what you've done with your legs though and the shading on your legs is very nice. I would like to see more shadows though. This is a too brighten and flat. Alexandra - You have such a vintage beauty. The hat and the glasses were very nice touches as well. I think you have the perfect portions for a pin up girl as well. I also love the intensity of your eyes it just comes right through the sunglasses. I really like your pose as well. However there is a certain element missing in your photo. Sorta lacking this X factor. I don't know if its your skin or not but you look a bit overexposed a little on the yellow side. Mikaela - My eyes go straight to your budge. Why is there a budge? Might wanna pull down the leggings part down more. But I do love the fact that you really added some shadow and texture in the outfit. Definitely went above and beyond by doing so. I just think you added a big too much. Like I can see the indentations of your bra strap. That aside I do like your photo a lot. I think you have that very vintage look. I love your blond curly hair along with your green eyes. Great pose as well. Just a bit rough around the edges, especially around the legs. I can spot where it was smudged. Work on cleaning that up. Morgan - One word flat. I wish you put a little more effort into the shading, it could have really made a difference. Not only that but the cut out was poorly done. I can see still the edges in which it was cut out from. I don't think your pose and face was that bad either. Just the technical aspects out weigh your actual performance. Your light blond locks literally blends right into your skin. I see absolutely no details in the hands either, they all sorta mesh right into each other. I do like your shoes though that is probably my favorite part of the photo. Kierra I think the biggest issue with this photo is the fact that your eyes sort of hide behind your hair. It really takes away from your photo because you are gorgeous and you should hide behind your hair. I really like long lengthy legs and the shading is very well done. One of your foot appears slightly large though. I do see the confidence in your photo and despite your hiding eyes I do like your expression. I think you really know what you are doing it and it shows that you have great potential. I do see some smudging in where you arms bends which could be erased more, but great photo nonetheless. Ylenia - If your head was any bigger you'd be a Bratz doll. Seriously, you are all legs and no body. It's definitely not a bad thing, but you need to learn how to make it work to your advantage. I am also not too fond of the hand on your hips pose. I feel as though it is very overdone, very cliche. You arms and legs also do not match; they are two completely different tones. Might want to invest in a bronze tanner. I do however like your legs very much and you certainly know how to work it. I also like your face very much. Nice eye contact as well. More shading on the legs would be great. A bit on the flat side.

Mena, congratulations!

































Ceres, Valerie, Anne. Congratulations!



















































Sheena, Calypso, Dolly. Congratulations!

































Alexandra, Kierra, Ylenia. Congratulations.













Will Morgan and Mikaela please step forward.

Both of you had obvious weeknesses this round. Mikaela, your edit appeared rushes and was very messy, and too blurred. Morgan yours was under-edited, the face blank and a lack of drive coming from you in the picture. That goes for both of you actually. A lack of drive, a lack of passion, a lack of wanting to be here.











































So who stays?




























Mikaela. Congratulations, you're safe.
That means Morgan, I'm very sorry but we cannot turn you into a Cosmopolitan model. Good luck with the future and thank you for participating!
