[[[WELCOME TO PANEL]]]

=====

*5 models walk into the warehouse towards a runway in the middle of the vast room. As the assemble onto the platform, they look down the catwalk and see the judges, sitting at a table at the end of the runway*

Holy crap, we are at the Final 5! Just this week and next week and we're at the finale! You are so close, so hopefully you don't blow your chances of becoming Kebin's Next Top Model now!

---

Now, joining me on the panel this week:

Alex (bobbobachoo1), a good friend of mine and well-experienced KNTM judge
Milly (Millzpede), the amazing host of Tengaged's Next Top Model and head of T-Models Management.

=====

You all had a nude shoot, but the twist is that you all took it in a group. Therefore, this wasn't only about if you looked great, but also if you stood out beyond your competitors. Shall we see the final product?

So, we're starting from the left and going to the right.

[[COCO]]

Alex ; You are fierce here. Your eyes just penetrate me. They're gorgeous. When my eyes went to you my jaw almost dropped. This was a great week from you and, in my opinion, a big comeback for you. Great job.

Milly ; I think out of all of the girls, your pose is the strongest which makes you really stand out in the crowd. Your face is so intense and strong that this would really work for an editorial in a magazine, however I don't think it works here. Here I think the photo is supposed to have more of a 'serene' theme and all of you girls showing off your natural beauty, but it just looks as if you are just trying too hard.

Kebin ; This is really strong, Coco. I think even though Jessica’s blocking you, you are probably one of the more striking models in this shot. A lot of that has to do with the face. I love the intensity in your eyes, and you are really connecting with that camera. You also have a good amount of tension in your body. Overall, you were very successful here.

[[JESSICA]

Alex ; I like this shot. My main problem is even though you're in the front, you don't stand out. It's a bit safe. There's nothing bad about it, but I wish you took more risks.

Milly ; I think you did a really great job this week! You mastered the theme well, and even though you are the only one holding an accessory, you manage to make it work and not like 'I'm using this to cover my private areas'. Your face is pretty, but I feel it would of been better if there had been more power behind the eyes to give a more of a high fashion edge.

Kebin ; You look really beautiful. I just find you a bit too tense and a bit safe. I can’t really say anything negative about you, but I also can’t really say anything amazing about you in this shot. I just think in terms of a group photo, you need to remember to both mesh with the group, but to make something special about yourself, and even though you’re in the front of the group, you’re one of the last ones I notice in the photo.

[[FEI FEI]]

Alex ; I feel like this was more pornographic than high fashion. I'm happy that you're in the back so no one can see your butt. I think your face has too much lust which makes it look pornographic. If you held back a little bit more, even with the butt showing, it could've been high fashion.

Milly ; You have a very interesting look, but in this photograph I don't think that you fully pulled it off, I think you went for the ugly-pretty face but its on the borderline of ugly-ugly. A lot of people wouldn't find you attractive in this shot, but someone who understands fashion, like myself would and loves it. I like that out of all of the girls you took a risk and it worked!

Kebin ; Despite being way in the back, you still stand out for me because of that face. I like the slight intensity in your eyes and the tooth-gap; in combination, your face is quite striking. However, you do look rather stiff and rather forced, and I just wish you were more elegant with your shot.

[[ALESSANDRA]]

Alex ; Your lack of a neck is going to kill me! Your face is stunning, definitely one of the best faces of the bunch. The pose is a bit stiff. If you relaxed your shoulders this could've been my favorite shot of the week. It's still a pretty great shot though.

Milly ; Out of all of the girls, this is my favorite shot! Your face is intense, but not too intense like Coco's, but strong in a 'I'm sexy and I know it' kind of way. Although your body language is probably one of the least interesting, it works and this could definitely be a perfume ad or something. The thing that I have to critique is your body. Size 0 used to be the big thing in the fashion industry and you have to remember that BEAUTY IS HEALTH and if your looking like you do at the moment, your beauty is taken away. Int he words of Tyra Banks, eat some avacado and bread!

Kebin ; I wish I could see more of your face. The shadows cast by your hair is just really blocking it. This fact takes your shot back, because I don't think your face immediately connects with me as a viewer. However, once I study your face more, I do like this almost "animalistic" intensity you've got going on. The body is so stiff though. You just need to loosen up; I just feel you're holding yourself back so tightly in this shot. As a whole, this shot is not bad, but there is nothing about you in this photograph that really screams “omfg, look at me damnit”.

[[ANJA]]

Alex ; I love this. Like Tyra Banks says you're modeling to the tips of your fingers. I'm really at a loss of words because I have nothing but good things to say about you. Keep up the great work!

Milly ; What the hell happened this week? This is possibly the worst shot of the competition for me, as you look like a hanging corpse. You looks like you have just died and are being suspended in mid-air. Although you made your neck look really long, I think that if you had lifted you head up and looked directly at camera, that would of made this photo a lot better, because at the moment it isn't good.

Kebin ; I actually really like this. I think the dynamic, out-there pose is what you needed to grab a viewer's eye, especially when you're in the back, yet you still maintained something that worked with the group shot. I love the curvature in your back and the flow of your arm. Although I think your bone structure looks stunning, I'm not sure I'm 100% into your face. There's just a lack of power in the expression.

[[CAST YOUR VOTE]]

Well I guess I have to just hope that I am saved once again. Thx for the critiques if I make it past this week I will try the best I can to take it all under consideration

[[[ELIMINATION]]]

===

Fei Fei and Jessica, it's honestly been amazing having both of you. The two of you have produced some of the strongest shots in the competition. You both have been dominating the top spots all cycle long, with Fei Fei's 3 FCO and Jessica's 2 FCO, and have really excelled in a lot of the shoots. This, unfortunately, was not one of them.

I can only save one of you based on the public vote. The final vote was 63.3% to 36.7%.

Congratulations...

#4 : JESSICA
You were in the B2 last week as well, but overall the public saw more in you. You really need to step up your game. Congratulations.

Fei Fei, this is really sad! You had such a strong week last round, but this week you just weren't as good and you have unfortunately been Clark'd :( You've had a really wonderful journey with us, and I'm very happy with what you've accomplished. Unfortunately, you are not Kebin's Next Top Model.

FEI FEI's JOURNEY : http://i40.tinypic.com/29cba4j.jpg

Next week is going to be sorta hectic, just a heads up :P

Fei Fei was eliminated due to photoshop. This sucks =/

The photoshopping came out fine ;)
