I don’t know what happened to Chlea since she came to Bali, but she became a model. I wouldn’t even be able to guess this was her, she looks like a plus-size goddess. The fabric is hugging her bodies in all the right places, and this angle for her face is magnificent. Her jawline is stronger than it has ever been, and her face looks beautiful. It is dramatic, fashionable and really a piece of art. It is this type of shot that makes me so glad they did the social media scoring for this cycle, as otherwise Chlea would have been remembered as probably the worst plus-size model on ANTM.

Chlea would most likely be dead last in my ranking if this was based solely on her portfolio until her elimination. Thankfully she improved after getting cut and she actually did super well in Bali, pulling off strong pictures in 3 out of 4 shoots. Her great finish almost clouded my judgment enough to put her above Alex, but I can’t ignore her performance in the first 7 weeks. While she showed some marginal progress before going to Bali, she generally placed in the bottom half of my rankings every week. She wasn’t fully aware of what to do with her body or face, but she did improve in those areas towards the end. Chlea also didn’t look like a model at all in person, and I was a bit surprised that she made it into the cast in the first place; thankfully her look translated onto film somewhat well. Chlea was not one the stronger models, but I was proud of her progression after her early elimination. I can’t say that I liked or disliked Chlea’s personality, but at the very least she was always humorous during her relatively short stay on the show.

Chlea is letting her natural sexuality shine and it works beautifully. The pose is super reserved, but the way she’s slightly lifting up the bottom of the dress adds a sensual quality to the shot. I love how her hair is styled and the clothes are the immediate focus of the picture as well. Her expression is soft but very seductive at the same time. This is another stellar photo of Chlea, and I’m happy that she finished strong!

If this version of Chlea had been present from the start she could’ve made it very deep into the competition for sure. She’s pushing herself so much! Her body looks sensational in the fabric and she’s owning the heck out of her curves. Her jawline is impeccable from this angle and the fierceness of her expression is spot on. Chlea has given us some decent shots here and there, but this is beyond anything she’s ever done in the competition.
