While Bianca struggled to bring the sweetness, Victoria clearly didn’t even try. She didn’t assess the situation, and tried to give an edgier vibe which just doesn’t fit the brand. Her body language is too loose, and the face is flat. She definitely deserved her place in the bottom 3 for this.

I respect Talulah-Eve to the highest degree for going through what she did, but she straight up looks like a drag queen here. I blame the stylists for a solid amount of that, as that wig looks absolutely atrocious on her. But I don’t think Talulah-Eve picked a strong angle for her face. Her features all look incredibly harsh from this angle, and with all the ultra-feminine styling it just goes straight to a cheap place.

This is just a poor photograph. This angle is not flattering for any part of Tallulah’s body: her neck looks incredibly thick, her lips look puffy, her jawline looks odd, her eyes are squinted and to top all that off, we can’t even see the product. The judges talked about it being interesting, but for me it just reads as awkward. If anyone finds this even remotely fashionable, please tell me as I need to know what the judges saw in it.

While I wholeheartedly understand Jennifer’s situation, so would never even considering eliminating for even such a poor shot, I can’t pretend it isn’t awful. Jennifer was out of control of her body, and the way the dress is hanging is incredibly unflattering. It kind of makes Jennifer look plus-size. But honestly props of her for even getting a shot given what she had to push through.

Tallulah was a fascinating character, but I think this shot makes it clear why she isn’t a great model. Her legs look incredibly short in relation to her body, even with her toes pointed. She just lacks proportions to allow her to do anything other than beauty shots. This shot just feels like a failed attempt; I bet even I look more composed when jumping on a trampoline than she does.

I’ve never seen someone look this stiff. I think some minor tweaks could actually make this shot work; mainly in the face and the arms. It just happens that both elements being bad amplifies the weakness of this photograph past what either element brings.

I don’t know what happened to Bianca. She had just come off an incredible photograph, and this seems totally inverse of her normal aesthetic. It actually reminds me of her pastel shot; like she is trying to go all sweet in innocence. She should have brought an edge to the photoshoot, as this just isn’t working. I think she was a stronger model than some left at this point, but this did prove she hadn’t fully sussed out how to appropriately tackle a brief.

Chloe just looks like she is floundering underwater. It isn’t a graceful shot at all, and it was definitely her time to go at this point. She clearly just lacked the confidence and presence to be a model, and her portfolio was average at best.
