Bias aside, I think Amanda totally killed this shoot! I’m so in love with it!!!!
The first episode saw the the fourteen lucky hopefuls settled into their new house. They then meet with host Georgina and fellow judge Joey to evaluate their runway walk which will be part of their very first challenge. As per Top Model outrageous tradition, the girls were asked to walk the runway with a turn table at the end. Barbara (JPN) won the runway challenge although the judges were unanimous about Monika’s runway prowess. (just gotta get that out yeah? home girl and all LOL) Their first shoot was a swimsuit shoot where the youngest contestant Amanda from the Philippines easily stood out from the rest along with Barbara and Monika. Meanwhile, Shareeta (so gorg btw) struggled so much which led to her untimely demise on the show >a bit extreme I know< but I really loved the girl and thought that she’d go so far!!!! Too bad really!!!
Barbara
I loved the proportion of her body although I was a bit distracted by the angle of her face. This was a beautiful shot overall.
Monika
The girl whom the judges thought was born for runway! I couldn’t agree more. Loved this shot but found her waist too thin! Still, that face! that face!
Tahlia
I’m not really a fan of this shot but I loved her face so I’m okay with her position so far.
Gani Ayu
Gawd! You gotta love that Asian flavor! Not my favorite shot in the bunch but I so love her oriental beauty!
Aimee
I’m not that impressed with her facial expression here but the neck below was almost perfect!
Loretta
This one though reminds me of an underwear catalog from Avon – dunnowhy?
KB
This for some reason reminds me so much of a GUESS? ads!
Chesca
Gaaahhh. I don’t understand this one. It’s too pedestrian.
Melissa
A wee bit cliche yeah? Remember Anamaria from America’s Next Top Model Cycle15?
Kiana
I actually loved this shot!! The feel is very “Tropical” and I loved the contour of her body. What drag this down though was her eyes. Too bad really.
Rani
Not exactly a good shot of her – proportions were off and the styling. Just tsk.
Celine
Great face. Lacks inspiration.
Shareeta
As much as I loved the beauty of this girl, I just have to agree with the judges. It’s the weakest photo in the bunch. I won’t be blaming it all to Shareeta though. I thought her styling overall does not suit her.
Call Out Order First Call Out: Amanda 2. Barbara 3. Monika 4. Tahlia 5. Gani 6. Aimee 7. Loretta 8. KB 9. Franchesca 10. Melissa 11. Kiana 12. Rani 13. Celine ELIMINATED: Shareeta Do you agree with the judges’ decision to eliminate Shareeta this early in the competition?
PADDYLAST INC. 
Quite agree with the challenge *and* photo shoot winner. Although I find the new host rather painful to watch. Very bland. I dunno her background but does she have MCing experience? She’s neither the fun, excited type like Tyra or the calm with gravitas type like Nadya.
To be fair, the script doesn’t help, but the delivery is very one tone.
Well, from what I know of – Georgina is one of the top working models in the country and is a fairly good presenter based on the two events I’ve seen of her in person and she used to be a VJ via Channel V Philippines and she was good there ^_^ – as for her stint here, I do think that she’s still trying working on it. Let’s hope that she’d be better next episode although personally, I do think that she did okay 🙂
I am sorry, where is Rani ?
I just posted Rani’s picture ^_^
thanks!
