On Sydney Harbour, the girls head by boat to their new house in the Eastern Suburbs, where judge Charlotte Dawson is waiting on the beach for them. There is a waterfall and the house is stunning. The girls fight for their beds and Tayah goes and has a cry in the bathroom because she didn’t get a bottom bunk. She’s scared of heights! The girls lounge as Charlotte says they are here to work and tells them to grab their heels.
They head in the cars to a beach and Dawson explains that they will have many challenges on the catwalk as a model. Different surfaces, different poses when celebrity choreographer is announced and Adam Williams appears to help. When waliking on a catwalk he says, shoulders in and hips forward – due to the media shots. he tells them how to turn and when.
Charlotte says that it’s all about balance, posture and focus.The walk off on the beach shows that Cassie has talent. The high heels they are wearing are again ridiculous, Madeline is in trouble for complaining about her suede shoes with sand in them and eliminated – ATTITUDE!
Simone -Oh Dear – Simone is told to walk fururistically – yet says, and I quote, ” I was told to walk futuristically, I had no idea because we are not in the future” Hahaha – Seriously!
Dawson sums up and her phone rings – it’s Sarah Murdoch. She says tomorrow is a challenge and don’t burst your bubble and good luck. The challenge is set by the pool and the girls are met Magdalena Velevskia. The girls will be modelling her designs in Coogee in Sydneys East. This challenge – the girls must walk on a 13 inch runway over water. That’s not all! Also in a plastic bubble!
Alissandra hates confined space and yet the winner will recieve a two hour spa treatment. Magdalena, Charlotte and Sarah will be judging each and everyone of their walks. The girls go to hair and makeup. Some of the girls are freaking out.
The girls are told to remember what they learnt yesterday – it’s all about posture and balance. It is very windy on the set – yet the water appears still in the pool! It will be difficult to balance but the girls have to be professional. If they fall over, its all about how they pick themselves up.
Jess is first off the catwalk who is actually friends with Caroline and grew up with her in Brisbane. In the bubble, she freaks out. There was no modelling, as she did not know what to do.
Caronline is next who is strong and she gave us something which was fashion and popped. Then its Yolanda doesn’t fail. Other approach the catwalk with safety.
Tayah wows the judges. She was stomping down, not even looking down. She did her best to keep her balance, posture and balance. Izzy next – bubble time. Pinked haired Izzy comes out strong, and unintentionally crashes dramatically in the water. All the judges laugh – yet doesn’t that make her more enduring. The most important thing was her recovery. She tries to walk back again but falls again. Her rivals pretty unsupportive.
Annaleise was a real surprise – sher hasn’t stood out so far but was quite elegant and poised. Alissandra – my faced looked like a deer in headlights. Cassy thinks “do not fall, do not fall!”
Liz was so scared – the scariest feeling. Rachel – falls after doing her poses at the end. Annaleise sad for her, but laughing. Liz gets her focus again after many stumbles and completes the walk to cheers.
Sarah congratulates the girls for one of the most difficult challenges they have had. The winner of the challenge is actually two winners. One who showed professionalism, poise and confidence. The other side is we should really award the one who showed the most perseverence. First winner is Annaleise. Second winner was Rachel who persevered the most. These two get to enjoy the spa treatment.
Next up, is a swim suit shot. Girls complain about getting up so early, yet this is what models do! The girls head to the photo shoot – the man behind the camera is Harold David who has shot Miranda Kerr and Top Model’s own Sarah Murdoch. The shoot will involve cold water, with swim wear, and will be uncomfortable. Gilrs reminded not to bring uncomfortableness into the shoot.
Hair and makeup is done, as they get ready for the shoot.
Harold talks up Annaleise, the first for the shoot, giving her some guidelines as to what to do. Simone was scared thinking the water would be freezing. Simone: “I don’t do water”!
Tayah having fun with the shoot. Alissandra full figured (!!) says Harold. Trying to get through all the shots. Hazel’s biggest problem is her awkewardness. Hazel says she never knows if she has done enough.
Izzy a real surprise. Done in a minute and a half! Yolanda looks like one of the Simply Irresistable girls from the Robert Palmer video in the late 80′s. Cassy having issues with the shoot – some attitude displayed – remeniscent of Cassi from a previous cycle.
This has to look like you do it every day – Harold talking about handling the water, Praises Amelia. Then Madeline – who says the photo shoot was soemthing she had to nail, after failing the previous challenge. Jess prasied as being both a fashion modle and a tom boy.
Liz is a good mover – but shots aren’t that good. She has a great mouth – hoping for some laughing shots. Harold says it didn’t quite translate in her face. She thinks she has done the best she can.
Elimination time. Girls hoping they will survive. Second elimination for this cycle. This week has been about balance and poise, very important for modelling. Sarah said she did want to have a go with the zorb on the water. She says – tonight, we must decide who is the first of the top 16 to go home. Regular judges Charlottoe Dawson, Alex Perry and Harold David the photographer for this week. Rachel is first – “Galmster hamster”. Then Madeline- who likes her shot. Alex – a swimwear campaign waiting to happen.
Then Hazel. She likes her eyes in her shot. Alex thinks she flatlined. She is 16 – may have been overwhelming. Next Izzy – can’t wait to see on film. She is not going to get alot of jobs with pink hair, says Harold.
Neo – she loves her face. Sarah – hello body! Alex – his favourite shot. Cassy – not sure how she went as she had difficulties with the shoot. Body looks good. Sarah – this is still a great shot. Teary moment as she says how proud her dad is of her success so far in the series.
Amelia – very hard to fault. So polished, posied and professional. Really a good model already. Liz – exceptional photo – Elle McPherson-esque! Harold – Amazing. Carloine – worried. Sorts of like her picture. Alex – vacant compared to last week.
Few front runners from last week struggling this week. Sarah says we may have a few surprises this week. Judges discuss the shots. Ales – Yolanda georgious and sexy. Jess – nervous but flawless yets looks confiedent. Annaleise – cute, very cute. Montana – doesn’t stand out, but this shot a wow moment – comes alive in the camera. Simone models with her tit! – not her eyes! Alex – FHM gold.
Tayah – smiling, but could she do mature sexy shot? A dolly cover. Alissandra got the brief right and had a great fashion picture.
