Order of the agencies you'll go:

1.) COSMOPOLITAN
Here, you will meet Laura Williams - one of the original cast of the Next Top Model, Cycle 1 who became the 2nd Runner-up. She was also a judge of the Next Top Model - Cycles 2, 3, 4 and 7, and this serves as her fourth time in the castings panel. So for her task, she said "Cosmopolitan is taking a new fresh look focusing heavily upon style and everyday wear. For us, I would like to see you showing us your personality in styled street wear. Sophistication is more than just a $5000 dress. Everyday you should be expressing yourself in a stylish and intelligent manner and that is what I want to see. "

2.) UNITED DAWN
In here, you will meet our fabulous judge, Judge Carly. This will be Carly's fourth consecutive time in the castings panel. Your photoshoot here will be a "Once Upon a Time" theme wherein photos are to be inspired by fairy tale characters and of course you should name who inspired you.

Example/s (those who were booked before):
From Cyle 6, Allison Harvard - 4th (Alice) - http://cs406322.vk.me/v406322114/9c18/0UQGc6bis-c.jpg

From Cycle 7,

3.) FIRE AND ICE
For the models, you will meet here Zach (tuter32), it is his second time joining the castings panel. For his task, he said ""At Fire and Ice we run two major lines every year. Our "Fire" line includes: Summer swimwear like bikinis and trunks, tank tops and board shorts, and even shoes. Our other major line in the year is our "Ice" line. With our ice line tend to focus more on the scarves, coats, hats, gloves, mittens, and boots and shoes. Our Winter line is more accessory based than our Summer line."
Example/s (those who were booked before):
From Cycle 7, Alexander Ludwig - 5th (Ice) -  http://coolspotters.com/files/photos/867100/alexander-ludwig-and-abercrombie-and-fitch-gallery.png

4.) INSPIRE
Here you will meet the Next Top Model Cycle 5: Fans vs. Favorites - Winner, and who also serves as one of our judge, Marlon. This will be his third consecutive time in the castings panel, so basically - If there's good there's also bad, in this task you need to portray a movie style villain, it's up to you on how realistic or cartoony style you do it but he wants to see you stand out and own it.
Example/s (those who were booked before):
From Cycle 7, Xiao Wen Ju - 1st runner up [Villain Yzma (from Emporer's New Groove)] - http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--NiTu3pTEEw/UEODxW_IRuI/AAAAAAAAZm0/E9u6L1KELtM/s1600/xiao+wen+ju+tim+walker+w+magazine+shampalove+blog+6.jpg

5.) BONUS TASK
Just like last season you'll do it by rankings. So I need to know each of your opinion on who's the biggest and the least threat for you in this competition. 1 being the biggest threat for you and 5 being the least, you also need to explain why you put the #1 your biggest competition and #5 being the least one.

36 hours to do the task, Goodluck :)

5)

1st- Sui: Obviously Sui is a tremendous model who has a variety of idea space when he comes to her modeling in which the judges connect with her when she delivers strong photos and she could definitely beat me in this competition.

2nd- Francisco: Francisco has been having a little trouble in the past panels but he still has a grip on this competition. He isn't bad at winning challenges and his photo's have potential to become best photo each week.

3rd- Lily: Lily is my home girl I respect her modeling a lot but I think in the eyes of the judges she's not the best but she is still in this race and can always become better cause she already is a force in challenges and a majority of her photos are effortlessly beautiful no matter how the judges judge her they are.

4th- Elva: Now even tho Elva has the lowest in the entire competition I still see her a threat because like Sui, Elva has a lot of motivation in her photos and now that she is the most obvious underdog she has a lot of drive to put into her photos and she can come out on top and win this thing.

5th- Sean: I respect Sean be he has not won a challenge nor has he won best photo. I think at this point of asking my biggest competition Sean ins't. He's a good model but he isn't my biggest worry right now when the highest he ranked so far in a round is 3rd place and he's also been in the bottom two before.

SUI HE's GO-SEES

1.) COSMOPOLITAN

Hi, Ms. Laura. I'm Sui He.

I want to show you my personality through this outfit. Since I'm a woman-on-the-go, I want my look to be appropriate in all occasion at different times. I want to set a new fashion trend through this style. This is stylish yet sophisticated.

https://m.imgur.com/a/FDxWA

2.) UNITED DAWN

Hello, Judge Carly.

Well today my look is inspired by a popolar fairy tale character, Cinderella. This is a re-enactment of a famous scene in the story. Cinderella running away from Prince Charming in the midnight.

3.) FIRE AND ICE

Good morning, Mr. Zach. My name is Sui He.

From your two major lines, I'm picking the "ICE" line. In this photo I'm endorsing both the coat and the boots.

https://i.mdel.net/i/db/2014/10/305847/305847-800w.jpg

4.) INSPIRE

Good day, Judge Marlon.

The popular movie villain I chose for this casting was Cruella de Vil from the 2000 family comedy film, "102 Dalmatians". Here it is:

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ec/7c/58/ec7c58ca7dab05eed946a876cf16ef7f.jpg

5.) BONUS TASK

1st - LUCKY

Same as me, Lucky has so much passion in modeling. His drive is very admirable. He's my greatest competitor when it comes to challenges. It's like we're just passing the challenge wins to each other repeatedly. He's never been in the bottom two, plus he took the shot that was deemed as the "photo of the season". That's make him a HUGE threat.

2nd - ELVA

I always think that people who have so much drive and passion in the craft they're doing are the biggest threats in every competition. Elva is the most passionate and most driven model in this season. She sets her eyes on the prize and the title and she knows how to get it. Sometimes the Judges misinterpreted her photos, but that's what good about it. Her photos are polarizing. Either you like it or you hate it. Her photos ignite emotions from the viewers and I think that's what the photos are all about.

3rd - FRANCISCO

One of the HUGE threats...before. These past few weeks, he was slowly gravitating towards the bottom and last week, he almost got eliminated had Judge Laurel not changed the score for him. When it comes to challenges, I don't think he's doing his best. I see him as someone who is just okay whether he wins or not. Like I've said, passion and drive are so important to me.

4th - LILY

Honestly, I think Lily has been coasting these past few weeks. I don't think she has been challenged to her greatest potential and she's just leaning on her skills. That's it. I haven't seen her outside her comfort zone. That's why she got 0.0 from Judge Marlon last week.

5th - SEAN

I'm sorry, but for me Sean is the weakest model among the six of us. I've never seen him as a threat. He has been very inconsistent throughout the competition. One week he's okay, the next week he's not. Then okay again, then back to bottom again. He hasn't proven anything yet. But he's hot. Yeah. Haha!

5- 1st Sui- She can take this home, every challenge/photoshoot she brings amazing photos     
    2nd Lucky- His photos were viewed as "safe" until last photoshoot where he got amazing score so if he brings it in each and every photoshoot he wins
   3rd- Franciso- He is a BIG threat winning the first best photo, etc. but recently he has been flopping nearly going home last week
   4th- Sean- Each photoshoot Sean gives enough to not go home, never near the bottom or top. If he brings more he can win
   5th- Elva- Each week it is either a hit or miss with her. Its been 2 weeks where it has been misses sending her to the bottom 2.

GO-SEES: ELVA HSIAO

1. Cosmopolitan: http://i.imgur.com/mgrRUyQ.jpg

As an professional, I always mean business: this shot conveys that perfectly, with that splash of sass in colour.

2. United Dawn: http://i.imgur.com/7aHVRfs.jpg

For this photo, I am captivating Cinderella, who is absolutely radiating after being given the chance to attend the fine ball.

3. Fire & Ice: http://i.imgur.com/1oWllRC.jpg

I'm serving ice-diva Elva in this shot. Lost and waiting for the last train to nowhere, this shot is calming and indeed frosty. Notice how I've accessorised with the bags, hat, glows and throw.

4. Inspire: http://i.imgur.com/y2YONiT.jpg

My inspiration for this shot is Catwoman, but with my own Elva twist on it. I've decided to give her a slightly more futuristic look; the task is inspire, after all.

----

5. Bonus Task

1. Sui: Sui and I are both ethnically Chinese, and so out of all of the competitors I not only relate to her the most but see what she can do better than me much more clearly. She has been such a consistent competitor and you just know how much she wants this: she isn't here to play around.

2. Lucky: Rare is it for Lucky to falter. I think that now he's been on top again, he is going to be tough competition to bring back down.

3. Sean: Sean is such a consistent performer - he needs to turn it up to full now, because the competition is getting really tight. I think he is a threat, for sure.

4. Francisco: Like Sean, I think Francisco has been quite consistent, but Francisco has become a little too middle of the ground.

5. Lily: Lily has never particularly stood out to me. Maybe I'm underestimating her, but I've never seen her as the winner of this competition.

BONUS TASK:

1 - Lucky: I think Lucky has done really well he has been achieving great results all competition and I think he has so many shot ideas he can use.

2 - Lily: Start of the competition Lily was without a doubt my biggest threat. Althought lately she hasnt done very well I still feel as though she is a strong player.

3 - Sui: I mean this girl is slaying but one week she will probably drop the ball. I think even though she is great in the challenge she is really doing the same thing and eventually it will hurt her.

4 - Sean: He started at the botom but is slowly coming back up. But im not threatened in anyway.

5 - Elva: Sorry I cant remeber who she is and hasnt seen her stand out or done something that gave her a win. Sorry girl.

- Elva Hsiao (Montenegro)
Simply stunning! This entire shot is exactly what I look for when it comes to this task. It’s elegant and has its own modern twist to the character!

- Francisco Lachowski (rahrah)
The intensity of your facial expression is great as I can imagine this being taken right after Cinderella fled the ball. Your look is sharp and overall this is a solid shot.

- Lily Collins (aj1111)
Oh dear. Of all the characters to choose from and all the looks to do, this wasn’t the best mix. At this stage of the competition I need to see more than this.

- Lucky Blue Smith (Neme91)
Not the exact type of character I was hoping for, but I must say you did pull this look off very well! I love that styling and you putting your own take on the character. Not a fan of it being a semi-professional and semi-candid shot with people in the background.

- Sean O'Pry (imprincearthur)
This is an interesting character to portray and while I can see some of the inspiration, it does lack in fully giving the character. This seems more like an actor reading his script on the set of the Fast and the Furious.

- Sui He (haycsclair)
I like that you brought the scene to life while also giving me that runaway vibe. The dress is perfect and that facial expression exudes both fear of midnight and your evil stepmother!

BOOKINGS:
- Elva
- Francisco
- Sui
