For this week's episode, Tyra Banks herself appeared to the models (via recorded video, obvii) to introduce this week's challenge for the photo shoot. They would have to re-create the couple stilts shoot done in the All-Stars cycle of ANTM, with some of the themes given to them before the shoot. This is also the shoot that gave birth to the "booty tooch", or the arched booty, as done by Allison Harvard here.

Let's begin with...
Bang Taeeun. This picture, out of all the photos he did for this show, was one of the weakest in my opinion. I've been looking for some major, major good points, like the intensity of the smize, or the body angles, or the creative poses, but this photo is meh for me. Maybe it's because of Kim Yerim. Nah, kidding. The eyes looked a bit undecided, the pose is a bit amateur-ish, and I don't like his face here. He looks like he's going to vomit. On the good side, though, his legs looked great. Still, this is a meh shot.
Kim Yerim. First of all, I like Yerim's makeup and styling here. Kudos to the stylists! You deserve a pay rise! ^^ She looked chic and stylish here, but not that over the top cartoon-ish. I can see the chemistry between her and Taeeun, and I also like the slightly open mouth. The hand on the hip, well. It's a bit too posey. I'd rather prop it over my head, to show more fashionable angles. I like the display of romance in this photo. Sexy, yet fashionable at the same time.
Kim Minjung. She got "WILD" with Jieun as their theme. In my opinion, this photo isn't wild. This is FIERCE in pink sparkly ink with glitters and feathers on the side. Maybe she got it confused with that? Anyway, it really worked big time and she nailed this shot. Earlier, she commented that she and Jieun were coordinating with one another to get the desired results. This is a great example of communication between the models. I like her hands, and that face was to die for. She made gargoyles look high fashion. I also like the lifted leg.
Hyun Jieun. Jieun was the more daring one in this duo. She gave a variety of poses, even lifting her legs and spreading her arms around the whole time. The angles are very creative and fashionable. One thing, though: her face. Sure, she's really gorgeous. She's stunning. But her face gives the same expression in every single frame. Had she opened her mouth like Minjung, she'd be fiercer. Kudos for the effort, but I think she needs to do more. Werk on yer face, dahlin!
Choi Jungjin. Sorry for the obvii bias. HAHAHA I just loved their photos! Forgive me, my fashion angels. I still love all of you. Hee, hee. This is also an example of a perfect communication. They got HARMONY as their theme. It gave off the look of a musical for me, which I think is relevant to their theme. While Anna Wintour-eu said that his face was a bit comical, for me it worked in this shot. Like I said earlier, Jungjin's face was really good in conveying emotions like sadness, anger, happiness and all other things. The raised eyebrows looked chic, and widely spread legs were on point.
Also, this episode gave birth to another bromance: Yong-jin. Waaaa amazeballs. ^_____^v
Kim Jonghoon was pretty flexible last challenge. ^^ A bit arrogant, too. This couple got sadism. But in this shot, Seungsoo became the main, which shouldn't be because Jonghoon's the main here. He looks strangled and choking for air in this shot. While I loved the pose, I think it would be better if Jonghoon did this to Seungsoo and his face was all manic and gleaming with darkness. He looks like a ten year old getting bullied by the mean boys one Monday lunch time. His hand went missing, too, as well as his other arm. This was wrong in some levels, and this is really regrettable.
Lee Chulwoo was really hilarious in this episode. This couple got competition. The photo is oozing with fierceness and j'adoreness all over Tyra would end up in rehab. LOL kidding. There are two models in this photo, but the attention of the viewer went straight to him. A good thing, because he's the main one. I love both hands in this shot. It shows activity, and he's modelling H2T (head 2 toe, as per Tyra). The face is also sick, and I also love the tinny booch (male booty tooch, as per Tyra AGAIN). This shot is dynamic.
My Shiseido goddess Hwang Gippeum. Before anything else, I'd like to ask a question. WHY DID SOMEONE PUT A MAJOR MAJOR PIN CUSHION ON HER HEAD? Is this their idea of fierce dress makers? LOL kidding. With competition as their theme, she pretty nailed this shot. She looked really dominant in this photo, with the grabbing of the shirt and the balled fist. This has unity. I also love her legs here. Werk it girl!
Jung Yongsoo. Again, sorry for the obvii bias. AHAHAHA I reached total euphoria and epiphany when I saw this shot. Even if the black rod thingy was a bit distracting at first (hello, editors! Why didn't you take that thing off this shot? You are SO getting fired), the photo was mesmerizing. This got the musical thingy going on again, but like I said earlier, this worked BIG FREAKING TIME. He gave loads of emotions throughout the shoot. He smiled! He laughed! He smirked! He got mad! But he cannot scream. Ahhhhh. Aigoo. In panel, I want to stick a ball down Anna Wintour-eu's mouth for all the backhanded compliments. I want to smack her face with a tennis racket. SO mad right now. Grrr.. Anyway, the other judges saw a lot of variety, especially in the B-cuts. They're all impressed, and so do I. Chukhamnida, Yongsoo-ya.
Han Seungsoo aka The Guy Who Looked Like a Squirrel on the Bars. LOL I'll post the GIF later. ^____^v The theme fitted him like a glove during the shoot, and also on film. He got sadism, with Jonghoon. He's really demonic-looking in his shots, and even in Jonghoon's. He captured everyone's attention with his diverse facial expressions, variety of poses and the aura is just too irresistible to ignore. Maybe his arrogance also showed in the shoot? I don't know, but he definitely nailed this shot. Anna Wintour-eu almost lost her composure when she saw this stunning photograph. To quote Josie Borain, the famous South African supermodel on Africa's Next Top Model, "This is an iconic photograph." This is sadism in all levels, and it is simply stunning. Kudos, Seungsoo! ^^
I'm really sorry, it just took me weeks of realization that I should put Yoonju's call out order as well. Forgive me, fierce fashion angels.
My Callout Order : Chulwoo, Gippeum, Seungsoo, Minjung, Yongsoo, Jungjin, Jieun, Yerim, Taeeun, Jonghoon
Yoonju's Callout Order : Jieun, Gippeum, Chulwoo, Seungsoo, Minjung, Jungjin, Yongsoo, Taeeun, Yerim, Jonghoon
This episode became sadder towards the end when Jonghoon was eliminated. Everyone was crying, especially Chulwoo. Even Yoonju shed some tears as well! Ah, the drama.
As promised, here's the squirrel face of Seungsoo for this episode. Awww, so amazeadorbs! ^^
Again, thank you very much for reaching the end of this post. You are really precious and amazing. Keep on sharing the love! Great day to all. Comments well appreciated.
xoxo
