Adrianna "Ada" Daniel

Average: 5.3
Ada is someone that I had a love-hate relationship with. At first, I hated her as much as I hated Adam. She had a very annoying voice that pierced my ears and constantly had a diva attitude over everything and complained a lot. However, looking back, she was pretty funny. Her comments were very accurate and she entertained me up to her elimination as a funny diva tired of everyone’s bullcrap. As a model, she was one of the most inconsistent girls of the entire group. Her start was decent (circus, nude, rat), they were definitely not her best shot but it’s decent enough to skate her by to the next week. I will admit that her rat shot was one of best early photos, it showed off her potential (albeit showing off her diva attitude). Her next 3 photos are complete shit and one of the worst I’ve ever seen. I’ll comment on the war shot here considering how I didn’t describe that shot and its flaws. The shot is laughably bad, the story in the shot makes no sense, both look short, and Ada looks completely scared out of her fucking mind while looking like she needs to shit at the same time. How she got praise for this is beyond me. It doesn’t help that her next 2 shots were bad yet forgettable at the same time. She was in the bottom consistently for those 3 weeks and was a really easy contender to be eliminated. However, she sorta slapped out of it and slayed the next 2 weeks (with 3 shots since I count the high/natural beauty shots as different weeks). Her natural beauty was a good showing of her, it shows off her admittedly basic look but makes her stand out in a good way, as well as her killer high fashion shot. She ended off things in a high note with her beautiful windmill shot that finally got her sent home, mostly due to poor go-sees and lack of potential. My main issue with Ada is despite how blessed she is in terms of looks, she was basic as it could get. She was a basic looking blonde girl, she really faded in a cast full of unique faces. It doesn’t help that she was 5’7, one of the shortest girls in the group so she always struggled with standing out. Ada’s journey was clunky, she had 3 good shots, 3 terrible shots, and 3 great shots. It’s hard to say if she should’ve been eliminated week 3 or deserve to make it as far as she did because she was a literal quadratic graph. I don’t know, she obviously robbed some people but her rapid improvement and funny personality really made her a great part of the cycle for me, even with such a basic look and inconsistent performance.
