[[[[THE FIRST CUT]]]]

===

Wow, 32 models. This is really amazing. I think this is most likely the biggest cycle of any NTM group game Tengaged has ever seen, and I really appreciate that you all decided that Kebin's Next Top Model was worth spending time over. It really means a lot.

However, right here, right now, the journey ends for 12 of you. Because we can only take the 20 strongest models to the next round.

How did the panel make its decision? Well, it wasn't as straightforward as you may think. We split you up into groups of 6 (and one group of 8). This was based on the order in which your shots were posted.

Only HALF of the models from each group will make it to the next round. The other half will go home.

[[GROUP ONE]]

Lara, Tocarra, Shannon, Kim, Selena and Laura. We will be inviting 3 of you to join us in the next round of competition.

MATHIAS
Not only do we need some male blood in this bunch, but I also think that you are a strong male model. You didn't show it with your shot this round. Hopefully you will show your true potential in the later rounds.

And that is the only one I'm sure of. I will reveal my final two picks tomorrow :P

Yay I made it to the next round! :D
