Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a model flying through the air for a campaign shoot for the new Lexus CT 200h!
Starting off, Team Naomi are reveling in the fact that their weak link Brittaney is no more, making them once again the strongest of the two remaining teams. They ‘feel bad’ that Britt is gone but don’t really mean it. Bitches.
Team Cheyenne are..wait….who’s that chick?
I don’t remember seeing her before. There’s Nikolina and NSFW Olivia and Yaya….where’s Yaya and her glorious head of blonde weave?
What? That’s Yaya?
Her weave is now gone allowing us to “see her brain structure more” and leaving us with a completely different looking model. While NSFW Olivia and Nikolina both love the look they now see Yaya as a massive threat to them making the final.
So Georges – who’s still looking delish in all his salt and pepper wonderment, talks to the girls and informs them they are the last six girls remaining – who knew? – before asking them who they think is their biggest threat in the competition. There’s no head-scratching here, Sarah and Yaya are picked by most before NSFW Olivia chooses Nikolina.
Nikolina?
Yep. I’d have chosen Nikolina too if the question were “who’s least likely to win”.
So this final test shoot challenge is all about acting, well portraying various emotions in-front of a camera and clearly Ruth already has ‘OMG’ and ‘NO WAY’ down…
As per the norm, Nicole Trunfio shows them all how it’s done..
So after Nicole and Georges make magic together, it’s time for the girls to make emotions as called out by Nicole who also informs them all, she’ll also be reporting back to Cheyenne and Naomi about how they all perform. They mess up, they act up, they behave like bitchy school girls….their mentors will be told!
Naturally, this sits well with ‘Unpleasant Chantal’..
So who does well?
Ruth should have had it won with her ‘cool’ emotion. Her resulting photo screamed 90’s Calvin Klein. Unfortunately though ‘OMG’ and ‘No way!’ were not emotions called out for Ruth.
And during Ruth’s shoot, Georges lets all all know how to look sexy while taking photos “Say A, E, I, O, U under your breath” you know i’m going to try that next time!
NSFW Olivia was asked to be…well….NSFW, so of course, she rocked it.
Yaya was going through so many emotions I’m convinced there was a form of schizophrenia beginning to emerge. She looked amazing doing it, and we get a first glimpse as to her potential now she’s weave-less..
Who did not so good? Ugh..Chantal. Had Nicole yelled out “Unpleasant” as an emotion, then Chantal would have had this down to a tee. I think Georges nailed it when he said “This is really bad Chantal, get angry!” It’s ok Georges, i’m doing all the angry for both me and Chantal.
Nikolina. Oh bless her cotton socks. When asked to be ecstatic, all she could muster up was something akin to “i’m on a heavy flow, but because of my libra fleurs, I can ride a horse!”
And of course, the golden child, Sarah. She underplayed almost every emotion. Surprised became scared, confused became confusing which made Sarah confused about acting confused.
Now i’m confused.
So shock horror, NSFW Olivia wins the test shoot!
Final campaign shoot time! Now, I don’t blame any of the girls for being thrown for a curve ball here. The way it’s explained, this campaign shoot will see the girls being suspended from a harness above the new Lexus CT 200h, where they will have 20 minutes to pose and get photographs.
In realty, the girls were going to be unexpectedly flung across the room at warp speed and ‘hope’ to finish out with a decent image of them posing mid-fling above the car.
This ain’t an easy one.
Before the shoot takes place, it’s time for Naomi and Cheyenne to check in with their teams and talk about Nicole’s notes she had taken earlier during the test shoot. Now Brittaney’s no longer around, Naomi needs a new whipping horse and who better to take the role than Chantal.
She deserves it though. She flatly throws out Nicole’s critiques and as being wrong but Naomi isn’t having any part of it “you’re not giving a full 100%. You need to fix this or else you’re not going any further.” It’s not the harshest we’ve seen Naomi, but it’s about time she decides to stop sweeping her stinking attitude under the carpet and deflecting to someone else.
Shoot time! It’s fun to watch the girls experience the flinging bungee for the very first time. Unsure of what exactly is going to happen, they quickly discover they have little to no control over what is happening to them.
Ruth has incredible trouble trying to remain feminine and glamorous while surging 300 miles an hour through the air.
by the end…no one even really knows if she even managed to snag one usable shot.
Sarah looked amazing and had on this glorious black gown with thigh high split, she was zooming through the air giving ‘great posture’ but couldn’t match it with her dead face.
Chantal decided the easiest approach to modelling while being thrown across the room was to point and go with a peter pan type pose. Naomi is having none of it though…oh, I forgot to mention, Naomi has a whip.
Yes, a whip.
She’s gone from mourning mamma last week to dominatrix mamma this week. Nicole at least seems to be impressed with Naomi’s newest accessory this week.
Both Chantal and Sarah did manage to come out with a couple of shots to work with while we’re still unsure about Ruth.
Time for Team Cheyenne to step in and take flight. Yaya, with her newly visible brain structure (or haircut as its commonly known) is looking all space mod for her shoot. Like previous attempts by Yaya to be graceful in the air (remember the trampoline test shoot?) Yaya is once again all legs askew and not doing too well.
By the end, she’s decided to go with a weird ‘forehead salute’ type of pose that sort of works well with her outfit.
NSFW Olivia. Damn girl looks amazing. I think she’s beginning to warm on me. While she looks stunning, her dress is so full and voluminous it’s hiding her legs while she’s zooming through the air making her look like a legless floating beautiful ghost.
Nikolina. I’m still blessing her cotton socks. She’s trying to be confident, trying to be the little train that could, but we’re not buying it and if anyone was going to injure themselves during the shoot, of course it’s going to be the girl who’s showing the most fear.
Thankfully though the injury wasn’t that bad, but on the flip side, a scraped knee can hurt like a sonofabitch and after a few quick words of support from Cheyenne (you just know if this was Ruth, Naomi would be saying ‘nut up champ’) Nikolina gets back up and flies away.
Now it’s time to score each individual photo giving a total team score with the team with the lowest score hitting the elimination room. Judging by the photos, Team Cheyenne should have this easily right?
No?
Ruth received an 8 for this…
Either Yalande Waldock (the Lexus brand ambassador) is totally blind or I know crap all about campaign shoots. The score of 8 for Ruth’s photo was shocking in itself and see’s team Naomi win AGAIN and even Naomi is shocked with her win.
Considering NSFW Olivia won the campaign shoot for her individual photo, Yaya and Nikolina are headed to face Miss Whiplash in elimination. The standard of previous eliminations has seen both girls fight it out verbally in front of either Naomi or Cheyenne before a decision is made, but this elimination….I didn’t think it was that boring, but according to Naomi, she’d much prefer to pick up a book and guzzle a glass of wine.
You think Yaya is impressed with that? Nostrils flaring, steam beginning to explode out of her ears….if it was appropriate for the models to strike a judge, you just know Yaya would have laid the smackdown on Naomi – and she did, well sort of…
She fought back against Naomi, even telling her that she’s talking a load of bull (well in nicer words) and eventually, Yaya’s bite back wins her victory.
Nikolina cries. Naomi pretends to be upset.
So we now have our final five girls and what’s this? Next week is the finale? So soon? Well next week sees an awkward presentation from Ruth, Naomi acting like a spoiled child who’s not being given enough attention, a photo shoot, a catwalk for a very well known designer and finally, a winner crowned!
My team? Well Sarah’s my last standing member, but after seeing how NSFW Olivia performed today, i’m claiming her as an unofficial team Anthobuzz member!
