Firstly, I'd like to start off by saying congratulations to our final two, Barbara and Becca. You two have battled your way to this position, and I really appreciate all of the effort that you have put into this game, and that is what I admire the most in a contestant: passion. And that, in fact, is what we are going to test of you this week with a special 6-PART finale challenge. We will test you on your writing and presentation skills, your photo shoot abilities and your runway walk, so let's get to it!
+ + PHOTO-SHOOT #1 + +
We tested you on this right at the beginning of the cycle in a challenge, and now it is time to see what you have learned throughout your time on the show. For your first shoot, you submit a runway shot. We want to capture you in the moment, working it to your potential. You can be posing at the end of the runway, or mid-walk, but whatever you choose it must be fierce.
Your desire to win this competition is probably one of the most important factors in determining who wins this show. For this challenge, you must write a paragraph (the longer the better) stating why you want/feel you should win this competition. It's pretty simple. We want to see how much you want this as we won't give the win to someone who isn't bothered.
+ + RUNWAY WALK + +
For your final runway, you will each be walking in Ellie Saab's Spring/Summer 2014 runway show 3 times; a pretty big deal. Below is the link to a video, and you must select 3 walks which you think are the best to represent your walks in the show. YOU CANNOT USE EACH OTHER'S WALKS.
I feel there are three parts to this runway show, and you must select 1 walk from each part to represent your walks.
PART 1: 0:00 - 3:52
This part shows off Saab's elegant wedding gowns, with a light colour palette, encrusted jewels and beautiful design. You must select 1 walk from between these times.
PART 2: 3:53 - 9:18
She then goes off to show her dresses with much more Summer patterns and primary colour colour schemes. These are also elegant, as always, yet give off a more youthful and fresh vibe. You must select 1 walk from between these times.
PART 3: 9:19 - 12:02
Keeping with her elegant trend, Ellie's twists on the 'little black dress' never fail to impress with her incorporation of jewels and lace to keep it classy yet sexy at the same time. You must select 1 walk from between these times.

+ + PHOTO SHOOT #2 + +
You may have noticed how I noted a couple of things down for you about each of Ellie Saab's styles in her runway show, as I want these to inspire your next three photo-shoots. For the first shoot, I want to see you model a high fashion gown with an almost whimsical and heavenly feel to the shoot. I don't want strong poses and harsh make-up, I want to see something natural and beautiful, while still looking elegant and poised; almost wedding-esque.
Continuing on with the Saab trends, for your third shoot I want to see something with colour. I want to see dynamic poses, with bright colours which give off a feel of youth and fun. I really want you posing in dresses with vibrant colours so that you stand out.
And lastly, like with the last part of her collection, I want to see the dark side to your modelling abilities. I want to see you in all-black (photos don't have to be black and white) giving off something truly couture and edgy. I want to see risks being taken, I want EXTREME high fashion, yet not cheap at the same time. I want Alexander McQueen-like styling, b
...but don't feel restricted to just using him. I want to see how you interpret the challenge!
Remember girls, this is your LAST chance to impress the judges, as after these assignments, the judges will be choosing our winner, so bare that in mind. I wish the both of you the best of luck in these challenges, and may the best girl win <3
Runway Walk
Walk #1- I'll choose the girl in the white dress that starts on 1:59
Walk #2- The girl starting on 4:49-5:02
Walk #3- The girl from 10:23-10:38
Dedication
Well, I came into this game thinking it would be some easy competition but I actually ended up doing weak then most of the people here. But I think I've learned a lot about fashion and brands then I entered with. Now, Lindsay did get eliminated but I'm only replacing Barbara in the finale since she won't compete which is extremely good for me because I was only eliminated based on a comment I made but not the shoot. I do think I deserve the win, because like I said, I entered weak but I got a lot stronger then I did when I entered so that for me, is a true winner.
Runway Walk
Part #1 - I picked the girl starting on 1:02.
Part #2 - The girl with the hands on her hips starting at 4:40.
Part #3 - The girl with the jet black hair entering on 9:50.
Being sincere I joined the game because of my sister Bella, being a model was a big dream for both of us in our childhood and seeing her growth in this competition after her premature elimination Cycle 7 and she coming back as an All-Star and being judged by Millie as the girl that evolved the most in the competition just made me want to be a part of it as well, and I think I proved myself in this Cycle, after being on the bottom on the beggining I saw that I could only go up, and that's what I've done, I worked very hard to be here today, I showed that I can be edgy, sexy, high fashion, couture, etc... I want to be crowned Tengaged's Next Top Model so much, this is a title that I want for both me and my sister.
