*The final 8 enter the abandoned warehouse which serves as the judging room for the season*

Millie: Hello to the 8 gorgeous women standing before me, and welcome to your sixth judging panel of Tengaged's Next Top Model, Cycle 10. For your shoot this week, in honour of her new album "Glory", you participated in a Britney Spears inspired photo shoot embodying some of her biggest hits and iconic looks. However, before we get to your critiques, here are your prizes for winning this season.



Note: The $250,000 cash prizes covers your 3 gifts)

Millie: Now it is time to introduce our lovely panel of judges for this week. Due to work obligations, Barbara unfortunately cannot be with us tonight, but we will see her back next week.

Millie: HOWEVER, we do have our other judge, fashion model, television starlet and all-round celebrity, Lindsay Lavara!

Lindsay: Hi girls.

Millie: I know that both Lindsay and I are big Britney Spears fans, so you better do the girl justice, otherwise you'll have both of us to answer to. With that being said, let's start the judging, shall we?

Millie: Right, so our first girl to critique is the wonderful, ALEXANDRIA. Come on up here.

Alexandria: Hi judges.

Lindsay: So Alex, I think the judges feel like you've been coasting a little through the competition. You have been quite strong in the shoots but we are still waiting for another amazing shot like the first week.

Alexandria: I know, I know.

Lindsay: So is this week the shoot to change it all?

Alexandria: I hope so, but I didn't choose one of Britney's biggest hits, as I wanted to go a little more out-of-the-box.

Lindsay: But did it work?

Alexandria: I feel like I did, it just depends on how the other girls do.

Lindsay: Very true.

Millie: Shall we get to it?

Alexandria: Yes, definitely.

Millie: Here you go then.

Millie: First of all, I'd like to commend you for choosing one of the lesser known Britney songs. Overprotected isn't known for a particular look or style, so choosing this song really was setting yourself a challenge, something that I can only appreciate and I think you really did emulate the song well with the carousel theme. Visually the photo is great, in terms of both you and the background, but for some reason this photo really isn't memorable to me. As great as you are, I feel like the background does swallow you up somewhat and you almost fade into the background. Like I said it's not a bad photo, the dress looks good and your face is stunning, but it just doesn't jump out to me like some of the other girls' photos this week. I appreciate the risk though, so I will rank you highly for it.

Alexandria: Oh, okay. Thanks Millie.

Lindsay: I love the picture, don't get me wrong. But I personally thought this shot was inspired by Circus, rather than Overprotected. I see where you got the idea from, but the scene from which you were inspired is so brief I think you could've chosen something else to represent your given song. Nonetheless, you look gorgeous as always but you STILL went for a blonde model which is really starting to annoy me, considering you're never taking my criticism. I'm not too sure how I feel about this overall.

Millie: That blonde model though.

Alexandria: I can't help being blonde xo.

Millie: Thanks Alex.

Millie: Right, so next we have KALLIE. Let's go.

Kallie: Hello everybody.

Millie: So what song did you go with?

Kallie: I went with Till The World Ends, which is personally one of my favourite club anthems of all time.

Lindsay: Obviously.

Millie: For me, this is one Britney's most recent song that actually has an iconic look to it (thanks to Britney Jean aka flopney Jean) so I really hope you do it justice.

Kallie: Well I did.

Lindsay: She knows it. Millie, just show us the shot.

Kallie: Yeah, hurry up.

Millie: Okay then, here it is.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/146052806@N07/29286241994/in/album-72157673136278402/

Millie: Once again, another really strong shot from you Kallie - you're not going to have a bad week at this rate are you? I love the whole kind of industrial/mechanical aesthetic that you went with as for me, that is probably one of the main things that stick out for me in the Till the World Ends music video. You look absolutely amazing here, and I love all of the angles that you are creating with your body to make it much more edgy. There are so many things for me to look at in this photograph and my eye keeps on darting around the page, which for a client is ultimately their dream for any kind of photo shoot. Your face is truly beautiful, and I love that you are looking off into the distance as if you are looking at the meteorite from the music video. I think you really nailed this!

Kallie: Told you I would.

Lindsay: Yes girl!

Kallie: What can I say?

Lindsay: I think you were given the toughest song to work it considering how vague the concept is. Anyway, you're giving me apocalyptic spy gal realness and I really enjoy it. You've been consistent throughout the entire competition and I think you're becoming a front runner to make it to the end. I really like your picture and I think you, once again, did amazingly well! Keep up the good work. xo

Kallie: Thankyou gals.

Millie: You're welcome.

Millie: Right so the next girl up is.... BRENDINA, its you.

Brendina: Oh yes.

Millie: So how are you doing at the moment?

Brendina: I'm doing okay. I feel like I really need to pick it up though as I think I'm at risk of going home.

Lindsay: Why do you think that?

Brendina: Because I don't get called very high at panel. I kinda feel like some of the judges don't like me or my photos.

Millie: I don't think that's true.

Lindsay: You just need to keep on trying. This is a learning experience for everyone.

Brendina: I know, it's just hard.

Millie: That's understandable. Hopefully you can turn it around for yourself this week then, eh?

Brendina: I really hope so.

Millie: Then let's see your photo, representing Oops!... I Did It Again.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/146052806@N07/29287008143/in/album-72157673136278402/

Millie: I disagree with Lindsay as I actually quite like the direction you were going with this shot. You had to embody Britney, yet still focus on the fashion element and I feel like you really mastered that by modelling a red jumpsuit. The face looks so beautiful and is a really great angle for your bone structure. You look sexy and you look confident, and for me, those are two of Britney's best qualities. I do agree with Lindsay though that I don't like that you chose a magazine cover. We have said quite a few times now to steer away from them as the writing is very off-putting, and was actually the reason Jessie landed in the bottom two last week. Had this just been an editorial I think you would have been safe, but this kind of shot really does leave you vulnerable to elimination.

Brendina: *tears up* Okay.

Lindsay: As a Britney fan myself, this doesn't give me her essence at ALL. This is a bland magazine cover, I don't see anything Britney-esque at all. I think you missed the mark at all costs this week and I'm upset you aren't bringing anything more to the competition. I'm starting to question whether you even have anything else to prove to us anymore because I feel like I keep repeating myself over and over with you every week. Disappointed.

Millie: I don't think it's that bad Lindsay.

Lindsay: We're all entitled to our opinion.

Millie: Absolutely. Well thank you Brendina anyway.

Brendina: Thanks.

Millie: Right, so ANUTHIDA you're coming up next.

Anuthida: You mean the QUEEN's turn.

Lindsay: lol sure.

Anuthida: Wow rude.

Lindsay: You can only be queen if you make it to the final 3.

Millie: I believe you're only a queen if you win.

Lindsay: ...

Anuthida: Anyway I was portraying 'Stronger' for this week's shoot.

Millie: Are you a Britney fan?

Anuthida: Not really to be honest. I'm more into R&B to be completely honest.

Millie: Okay so was this shoot a struggle then?

Anuthida: Of course not.

Millie: Well let's see how you did then.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/146052806@N07/29287008863/in/album-72157673136278402/

Millie: Fashion-photo wise Anuthida, this is a really edgy shot. I often feel like in general there aren't enough 'themed' fashion editorials, so I love this kind of photo, my only issue is that for this week's theme it wasn't really what I was looking for. Of course this photo emulates 'Stronger' but as someone who has been so strong in the competition, I felt that you wouldn't go for something so basic and go for something a little out-of-the-box. I loved your original shot as the sitting down model emulated Britney's music video where she danced on the chair, so this shot is a big downgrade for me. As always you look beautiful, but as I've said many times before, the Top Model series sets themes for a reason. It's a good shot but I think you've just set that bar very high for yourself and I expected more.

Anuthida: Eh, I think I look better in this one.

Lindsay: I'm glad that you listened to me when I said that darker-skinned models are your strength. Anyway, this is a good picture but I feel like it's kind of... basic? The swimsuit isn't really high fashion and it's kinda just 'okay' looking. I feel like you could've done SO much more with this song and you just chose to go with literally the EASIEST path which I'm not too content about. Regardless, this is again, an okay picture.

Anuthida: You shouldn't have made the theme so easy then.

Lindsay: Whatever girl. Check yourself.

Millie: Thank you Anuthida.

Millie: Next up we have JORDAN. It's your turn lucky.

Jordan: Yes, the suspense was killing me!

Lindsay: So what was your song this week?

Jordan: I chose Slave 4 U, based on her iconic performance at the VMAs.

Lindsay: The one with the snake?

Jordan: Of course. What else would it be?

Millie: Britney's got SO many iconic performances Jordan, don't even.

Jordan: *laughs* I'm not.

Lindsay: I hope your shot is as iconic as that performance was.

Millie: Let's get to it then.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/146052806@N07/29286242494/in/album-72157673136278402/

Lindsay:I love the snake around your neck. It's such a subtle yet simple thing, and I appreciate it so, so, so much. I think you could've done something just a bit more, like chose something with a different background or throw in a jungle-esque theme with it. Either way, this is good and the concept behind it is genius!

Jordan: Yay, thank you so much!

Millie: Sorry Jordan but I don't think I'm a fan.

Jordan: What? No!

Millie: I'll start off by saying that Slave 4 U is one of my most favourite songs of all time so I'm so glad that somebody chose it, however unfortunately I just don't think you did the song justice. I love the idea you were going with by posing naked and with the snake, replicating one of the most iconic performances of all time but I just think the shot looks a little lacklustre. Slave 4 U is SUCH a sexy song, and despite being naked you just look bored and almost a little uncomfortable? The song is all about exploring your sexuality, as you pointed out in the lyrics, but I don't see that here at all. For me, your face is lacking any emotion at all, and as great as your skin looks, it's just an awkward body position to be in. Knowing how hard you work in the photo shoots, I really wanted this to be great, but for me it fell flat.

Jordan: Dang!

Lindsay: I liked it girl, don't worry.

Millie: Come on down NINA, it's your turn next.

Nina: Oh yay, I'm so excited you guys!

Millie: Why's that Nina?

Nina: I've just been doing really well these past couple of weeks and I just want to keep up the good work.

Millie: Indeed you have.

Lindsay: Let's hope and pray you continue it onto this week.

Nina: Me too girl.

Millie: Shall we just get to the shot?

Nina: Of course.

Millie: Here you are then.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/146052806@N07/29799532632/in/album-72157673136278402/

Millie: Oh no Nina, what happened? After being SO strong these past two weeks, I really thought we were seeing some improvement from you but this is by far your weakest shot of the competition so far. I feel like you saw Britney's air-hostess outfit and just googled 'sexy model blue air-hostess' and got this. There are so many plane-themed Vogue spreads that you could have used for this theme and you just really missed the mark. I don't see high fashion here whatsoever, and it almost looks like an ad for a fancy-dress store. Everything about the photograph is amateur and is way too sexy that it is borderline pornographic in my opinion. Your face is pretty, but as I've said before, pretty girls aren't always the best models and unfortunately you are perpetuating that stereotype here.

Nina: Shi-

Lindsay: We can barely see your face at all. The concept is good but everything else is basic and wasn't really thought out. From what I can tell, your face looks kinda manly. Other than that, this is an OKAY picture. Nothing more, nothing less. You could've done so many wonderful things with this song, because in my opinion, it was one of the easiest to work with. I'm kind of disappointed since you were a shining star in the past two weeks. Regardless, this is basic, but it's not TOO bad to send you home over.

Millie: You didn't think it was that bad?

Lindsay: Not at all.

Millie: Okay then. Well thanks Nina anyway.

Millie: Hit Me Baby one More Time. CHLOE, it's you!

Chloe: Love it!

Millie: Right Chloe, this is possibly one of the most iconic music videos of all time, so you really had to step up to the plate this week. How was that?

Chloe: You know, I've been pretty on-and-off these past couple of weeks, but after the challenge I felt so much more confident going into the shoot this week.

Lindsay: Congrats on winning by the way.

Chloe: Thanks Lindsay. But yeah... just felt good this time.

Millie: Well I really hope you did well. For both yours and my sake.

Chloe: Me too.

Lindsay: You've got me all hyped up for the photo now.

Chloe: Let's see it!

Millie: Fine! Here it is.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/146052806@N07/29287007203/in/album-72157673136278402/

Millie: I love this shot Chloe and after your past couple of bad photos, this is such a nice surprise to see. Hit Me Baby one More Time is such an iconic video and I was interested to see which of you took the challenge and how/if you pulled it off. Much like the original video, this photo is controversial with you posing as a sexy nun and I absolutely LOVE it. You've got that whole innocent, but secretly slutty look to you which really comes across in your eyes with you enticing whoever you are looking at off camera. Your body looks fantastic and most importantly, you look tall - something you should always be conscious of as a model. The styling is fantastic, and I was actually expecting you to go for a school-uniform style, but this took me really by surprise, and in a good way. Well done.

Chloe: Yay, I knew this week I did well!

Millie: You thought right girl, so proud.

Chloe: Thanks again.

Lindsay: This is amazing! You took the concept from Britney's song but just shoved a lot more high fashion ideas into it. You could've played it safe this week by just something a hot girl in a school outfit but I think you took a risk and I genuinely think it payed off. Good job, this is a top tier photo for me.

Chloe: God, I'm so happy!

Millie: You've gotta bring this every week Chloe.

Millie: And rounding up the pack this week, we have JESSIE.

Jessie: Hi guys.

Lindsay: So you're coming off of the back of your second bottom two in a row.

Jessie: I know.

Lindsay: What are you thinking right now?

Jessie: I've got to win or I'm going home.

Lindsay: Pretty much girl. You need this.

Millie: ... And we're all rooting for you too.

Jessie: Thanks I guess.

Lindsay: So what was your chosen song?

Jessie: Circus.

Millie: Ooh, one of my favourites, and such an interesting theme. Let's see the photo.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/146052806@N07/29913444235/in/album-72157673136278402/

Millie: Oh my God, where has this girl been? Since the first week I have been waiting for you step it up once again and produce a stunning photo graph, and here it is - this is definitely your best work of the competition thus far. You are one of the only girls who truly channelled the persona that Britney creates in her music video of this ringleader is truly in charge and nobody can stop her. With the circus theme is could have been very easy to go really over-the-top with it, so much so that it becomes a little comical and not as fashion, but here you have managed to really strike the right balance. It's such a simple pose, but it works as you clearly command this shot. The outfit is not overshadowed by the theatrics of the theme, and I think you really owned this week. You should be proud of yourself.

Jessie: *cries* Oh my god.

Lindsay: FINALLY, you're starting to shine when it matters the most. Like Chloe, you could've been so obvious with your assigned song but I feel like you tried to look at it a bit further and take a risk. I'm proud that you're starting to come out of your box, but you can't slip back into that hole, because at this point it's hard to climb back out. Again, I'm proud of you and this is an amazing shot!

Millie: Thanks Jessie.

Millie: Okay, now it is time for Lindsay and I to decide our rankings, and deliberate between you. When I call you back I will announce who the winner of the sixth Vogue Girl poll of the season was, who got first call-out, and which girl will be leaving the competition in eighth place. Good luck to you all.

I don't usually respond publically to the judge's critiques, but I just want to thank Lindsay for understanding my photo and what I was going for. I felt I nailed the theme of my song on the head! I completely disagree with Millie; I believe I brought it this round! I'm serving sex appeal, Britney realness, and definitely don't find my body awkward at all! #confidence #slave4u I will however take your criticism and apply it towards my future photo shoots as I am here to learn, grow, and be a student of the modeling industry! Thank you, Millie, Lindsay, and fellow models.
