*22 models walk into a seemingly deserted warehouse. As they approach the center of the building, they notice a runway. As they assemble onto the runway, five judges stare back at them from behind a desk at the end of the runway.*

KEBIN: Welcome to your very first judging, models. As you guys know, we can only take 16 of you into the competition. That means 6 of you will, unfortunately, be eliminated from the competition tonight.

Now, to help me make my decision, I have my trusted judging panel with me here:

+ Americus
+ Wonderdog
+ Ethan
+ Alex [bobbobachoo1], our guest judge. He will not be commenting on your shots, but he will help us deliberate.

For your first shoot of the competition, you each took a black & white beauty shot. Shall we see how you guys did?

...[Americus] It's interesting that you only look straight at the camera and it has magic in it. It's like a whole new story is gonna happen by those eyes. And your face features is very distinct. You have potential.
...[Wonderdog] Pure beauty! I love the way you put your hair and your face is amazing also! You are a true Aphrodite. Three words can resume your shot: YOU ARE AMAZING!
...[Kebin] I just don’t really get this shot, sorry. I just don't see a model. It’s just incredibly flat for me. There is absolutely nothing interesting or intriguing or exciting about this photograph. Your expression is just dull, this angle isn’t very flattering to your bone structure and I don’t like the hair.

...[Americus] I'm not loving this shot. I see that you are so reserved. Today's industry needs more risks, not being safe. Your neck is not stretch enough, your eyes, maybe have that little glitch but it's not great. Sorry Katya.
...[Ethan] You nailed this shot! It perfects "ugly pretty" ! It looks like an ad in vogue if you ask me, the risk you took in only giving a face shot is noble! And your eyes are F-I-E-R-C-E !! :D
...[Kebin] You have one of the most intriguing faces in this competition, and if you make it you’ll definitely be an interesting contender to look out for. You’re rather tense in this shot, but nevertheless you look stunning. Those wolf eyes you have are so strikingly gorgeous. I wish you’d loosen up around the mouth, but this is overall a good start for you.

...[Americus] I love this photo. Regardless of the bees, it is a very mature pose. You're eyes is kinda sleepy and it suits your whole face. I hope that you'll continue this until the end.
...[Ethan] I LOVE THIS SHOT ! You look fearless with those bees all around you! Your eyes are a little dead, but everything else is perfect !
...[Kebin] Well first off, you wore too much make-up than for what the brief called for, but in terms of the shot itself, I'm torn. I think you managed to give us a very striking image, which I appreciate, but you just look extremely robotic and tense. On top of that, as Americus mentioned, you look rather sleepy even though I see you did attempt to give us intensity in the eyes. I'm so-so on this photograph.

...[Americus] I know that you got that model quality, but this picture is good but not that great. I accept your idea of messing with your hair but it became the star of this shoot. Not the features of your face or even your expressions.
...[Wonderdog] This wasn't your best shot at all. Your hair is every where on your face and you should put a smile while taking your shot.
...[Kebin] Obviously my colleagues would beg to differ, but this shot is breathtaking and is probably my favorite photo of the round. Your beauty here is not typically beautiful, but your face is just so raw and captivating. I love how despite all that hair in your face, you still shine through. There is a spark in your eyes, and I just think this photo perfectly captures what I wanted to see this round.

...[Americus] Wow. Its amazing that you have that little cute face but really loved by the camera. All spot is on! Great job.
...[Wonderdog] Not your best shot. You look mad in you shot and your face says in a way <<What do you want from me>>. Your hair is a mess and should be arranged. Overall, not your best shot.
...[Kebin] Your eyes are absolutely gorgeous in this shot. I absolutely love the intensity you are giving with them. I think the rest of the shot is a bit strained, however, and I definitely feel you could’ve been more natural. However, I still think the overall image is quite striking and you did a pretty good job overall.

...[Americus] It's a good photo. I just want you to look straight to the camera and give that fierce look. It would be amazing and maybe the first call-out.
...[Wonderdog] Good shot! I love the way you made your hair look like and the expression on your face.
...[Kebin] I’m just baffled by your decision to pick this photo. I don’t think this was the right occasion to pick this shot, and if you make it through it’s sad to see that you’ve wasted this one because this is definitely a photo that is more about the body language rather than the face. I think what I like most about this beauty shot is the positioning of the body, though. However, while your face is beautiful, the expression is slightly dead.

...[Americus] I believe in you as a model but this picture is not effective. Your neck is not there and it seems that you're not eating for a week. Next time try to smize even if you're not looking in the camera.
...[Ethan] I really LOVE this shot! You look so innocent! This photo IS Vintage High Fashion! You nailed it! GREAT JOB!
...[Kebin] I like the elegance of this shot. Your fragility is beautiful, and even though you are not looking at the camera, I still feel some sort of emotion in your expression. It's a beautiful photo, and a great starting point for you if you make it through.

...[Americus] Damn! Those haunted eyes. Everyone will fall in love with those eyes. But you should always put in your mind that even if you have the prettiest and most distinct face, if you don't know how to use it well, it's meaningless. But this picture proves that you have a lot more to give.
...[Wonderdog] Good shot! I love your eyes that are so sparkling. I also love the way you put your hair. You are a good competitor and you have natural beauty.
...[Kebin] I wish you’d followed the guidelines concerning no or minimal make-up, because the very bold black lipstick is very distracting. As for the shot, I don’t dislike it, but in no way am I jumping out of my seat. I will say it is definitely an intriguing shot, and you’re unique take on the brief makes you stand out. I just wish you were less tense and you’d shown more expression in your face. Overall, it’s a solid shot, but I’m not wowed.

...[Americus] Smize! Yes, but I wish I see more of the neck part. I really like to see the neck. EVERYTIME! Nonetheless, good photo. In the middle of the pack.
...[Wonderdog] Your face is beautiful! I really like your shot and you have potential to go far!
...[Kebin] You really impressed me, Sundai. I think this shot is great. A little tense around the jaw area, but this shot perfectly highlights your face in a beautiful way. Your bone structure looks exquisite and I like the slight intensity in the expression. Nice work!

...[Americus] There's no question, you're pretty but being pretty in not always better. You look amateur here. Anyway, I know you have more to give and I hope that you show more emotion in your eyes.
...[Ethan] I love this photo, the intensity in your eyes is to die for! Everything looks amazing! The only flaw I had though, is it looked like you were caught in the moment, like you weren't really modeling! It looked like you were surprised! But that is also what I like about it, because it's not fake!
...[Kebin] Best part of this photo is definitely your eyes. I just wish you were less tense. I think that's what this shot's downfall is; you just look incredibly stiff in this shot. I think it's undeniable that you look beautiful, but just relax.

...[Americus] Ehhh! I hate this photo. Seriously. It's just like you're from a ghetto community and you're looking for a fight. It's just wrong. Even the make-up is not working it. Sorry Kiara.
...[Ethan] I REALLY like this shot! You look like a Nubian Princess! There are NO flaws! This might be the best, you're at the top of the pack for sure!
...[Kebin] Too much make-up for the brief, but I can't deny how striking your face looks here. Your bone structure is amazing. The expression is a bit stiff, but I like your confidence in this photo.

{ S H A N D I }

...[Americus] Not great, it's okay. It looks like you're having a hard time to poop. It's awkward yet it's cool. Awkward, quirky is cool for me.
...[Ethan] This shot isn't bad, but it's not the BEST shot of the bunch, I have to admit in this shot, you look a little hoochy! I love however how you inhaled before the shot, it makes it more modely!
...[Kebin] I don't feel like your face is the centerpiece of this shot, and that's my issue. You are so beautiful, but I notice your hair and your shoulder before I notice your face. You just need to give more in the eyes and the expression. I know you're capable of much more than this.

...[Americus] Nice bone structure. I like that you actually open your mouth a little and you're telling a story here. It's like your having a revenge for your bestfriend that steals your boyfriend. Great!
...[Wonderdog] You are way too serious in  that shot. You look as you had your worst day in your life in that shot and that you are ready to kill someone. Not your best photo.
...[Kebin] You did a great job. This is a stunning shot. I love the way the light is hitting your face, but more importantly you are totally present in this shot. The intensity in your eyes is so striking and so gorgeous. I wish you'd shut that trap door. It just looks a bit awkward, but overall great job!

...[Americus] POTENTIAL! You are so beautiful, I know that you have more to give. You're face is just perfect let just see if you can work it out.
...[Ethan] This photo is pretty, but it's not modelesc! In the sense that you look like this was a photo taken at your house or something! You eyes are good though, I'll give you that, but that's all I like! If you want to go headstrong in this competition, you need to step up your game !
...[Kebin] While I do think you look beautiful here, I just don’t see a model at all. This honestly looks like a really awesome high school senior portrait or an actress' headshot, but you just don't scream model to me at all. It takes so much more than a pretty face.

...[Americus] Great job Raina. It's cool that you can project that great in the camera. Your face is just, pretty-ugly. It's cool.
...[Ethan] WOW !!!! THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST SHOTS OF THE WHOLE BUNCH ! It's just……………AMAZING !! Everything is amazing !
...[Kebin] Stunning shot. You look a bit stiff, but you make it up with that face. You're very reminiscent of Barabara Palvin in this shot, which is never a bad thing. Those eyes and the intensity behind them is just absolutely gorgeous. You are giving it with the expression, and you really nailed this shot.

...[Americus] Face is distinct. Bone structure is cool. It's almost perfect. I'm sensing a really competitive competition here.
...[Wonderdog] You look as if you were bored on that shot or just wanting to go to bed, but I love your hair and you have many qualities that other don't have. Put a smile on your face girl! It will make you look even better.
...[Kebin] You aren't a typical beauty, but this shot is definitely one of the best in the bunch, and it is the sole fact that you have emotion and feeling behind those eyes. Your face just looks so exquisite in this shot. Great job!

...[Americus] I don't like this photo. Really. It's just very not high fashion. I really didn't like it. Sorry Brittani.
...[Ethan] This shot is 50-50, in the sense that you can sell the rings on your finger, but your face in this photo is not modely at all, it not the worst, but it's definitely not the best! Thank you!
...[Kebin] I disagree SOOO much with these guys. How is this not a model? I see model written all over that face. I wish you'd toned down the styling, but that face is just gorgeous. The angle of your face with the prowess behind your eyes and with puckering of your lips; it really comes together. I'm sold on this shot!

...[Americus] Wow, two in a row, I also don't like this photo. Your eyes is blank and it's lacking of urge. I think you're not ready yet about this competition. Try practicing more.
...[Wonderdog] Good shot! You have many qualities that other competitors don't have. I love the look on your face and the way your hair is!
...[Kebin] This is just mediocre, sorry. Firstly, a bit distracted by the hair, and while I do think you have a beautiful profile, you aren’t really saying much with your expression. The entire photo is lifeless and you just aren’t really emoting anything. You can do better than this.

...[Americus] Freckles looked amazing sometimes and it actually look great here. Your face is spot on, those fierce eyes and the bone structure. It's amazing!
...[Wonderdog] WOW ! This shot is FIERCE ! Everything about it screams High Fasion! The eyes, the hair, the mouth, EVERYTHING is modely GREAT JOB !
...[Kebin] I remember in B&INTM, your sorta "signature look" was staring down the camera and really giving that intensity, and that is what you are doing in this shot. You are without a doubt very present in this shot. We need to do something about that hair, cause I feel like it's holding you back, but you definitely gave us a pretty solid shot.

...[Americus] Very interesting! Quirky in a way that it is high fashion. I like that you move your elbow up and it's making an interesting illusion. Great job Laura!
...[Wonderdog] Your eyes are sparkling in this shot. You have a natural beauty in yourself that can make you go far in this competition.
...[Kebin] You definitely have a lot of potential, but I don’t love this shot. I just don’t think this photo is very flattering to your face. You look slightly strained as well. I do think your doe eyes look so beautiful, but you are definitely capable of more than this.

...[Americus] Your face is unique but I don't like this photo. It's very shallow. No story, it's like you're in a hurry and just look in the camera and click. You have your photo.
...[Ethan] I actually like this shot of you, you look boyish, but it's not a bad thing! This shot is great, your eyes are fierce, and everything screams vogue! THANK YOU !
...[Kebin] Your beauty is undeniable. The styling is taking a lot from this shot. I definitely think you could’ve gone with a better photo, whoever your face in this shot looks exquisite nevertheless.

...[Americus] Great. I like how you look away in the camera. Sometimes when you look away form the camera, you may look far or near, and what you did  is just right. Great. Another contender, I think.
...[Wonderdog] Good shot! You also have natural beauty and you will be a great competitor in this competition.
...[Kebin] Stunning, Monty. : I really like how you are working your angles here, not only in your face, but also with the body. You really worked your lighting well. The shadows are hitting your face and your body in such a beautiful way, and I love the sparkle in your eyes. One of the top photos this week.
