Hi, here to give my opinions on the photos for #DNTM3. Did anyone ask for them? NO! Will they be helpful? MAYBE! Will I be an asshole? NO! unless you pay me. Am I still going to do this? Sure...we are just having fun!
Since there are a lot of models, I am going to keep it somewhat short (Okay I tried) cause most attention spans are short anyway. So I will rate you on the prompt, say a few things, and tell you whether I will ride your carousel (if you know what I mean, because I don't).

The outfit is sickening. I have to see a doctor. I would never wear a big ass coat on that ride because it will suck me up and eat me and I don't want to be a victim on Final Destination. Love the choice of colors and the thing you sat on. You and the giraffe are like partners and sharing the space of the photo, not competing. Not a fan of the pose. You are sitting. What else can you do? I see the dream atmosphere, but you need more fog to captivate you. Overall, not bad for the first round, but I want more!
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: Yes (I know the music will be great spinning around)

I like this. This red is so good, and I love the dress's style. If I didn't love the pose, I wish you had done another so we could see more of it. The pose is great, you are being seductive, and all over the horse, it looks like the horse is smiling. Now, is this giving dreamy? Eh more seductive and hot. I want daydream, magical fantasy. If we removed the "dreamy" part this would be full 10's.
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: Yes (but I would be scared)

I would like this much better if the lighting was better. I was having trouble seeing things and I think you were trying to give off an ambient atmosphere to help with the dreamy part, but I don't think the execution was correct. The pose is nice, airing out things which everyone needs to air out stuff, but I wish you were looking at us. Why are you looking over there? The ride goes round and round; you don't need to check to see if it is going the right direction. Look at us, make things dreamy and shit. The outfit is nice, I'm mix on the feathers, but I don't hate it.
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: No because I already tripped and fell because I couldn't see and the ambulance had to take me away to give me stiches on my head. You will be getting my medical bill.

Why do you look like Sabrina Carpenter in black hair? That wasn't you in the promo pictures? EXPLAIN! The outfit is nice and sparkly. It fits the vibes of the photo...but it is just a corset... The pose is good but the one leg that is drooping...what is wrong with it? It could be doing something besides being dragged along. I do love the atmosphere your photo brings. Very dreamy with the hazy/blur effect. This gives me daydream vibes of saying "hey baby, let's do adult things like drive a car and taxes" and then I wake up from my daydream because the waitress from Chili's is asking me what sauce I want for my Triple Dippers.
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: Yes, it seems pretty chill.

This outfit feels out of place. I could Photoshop it to show someone swinging, or maybe something carnival/circus, but in this aesthetic. Not that much in the background, and nothing dreamy is going on. Maybe the model. I do like the pose. It stands out (in good ways, I promise). Like, if you had the background of the ride spinning really fast, that would have been cool. The execution was a huge miss. I think I heard there were other versions, but things happen, but this is not American Idol, where sad stories (hopefully yours wasn't) win over talent. Mainly the details matter.
🎠Ride Your Ride: No, because I don't think this is your ride.

We have a story here! It is giving hello there (insert name here), come ride with me. Take my hand. I love the outfit. You probably will get snatched by the ride because of the cape, but that is your hospital bill, not mine and why don't you have a shirt??? well maybe if I had a body like that I would flaunt it around. Out of the variations of this style of background, I think this was a good execution in creativity, and I like this pose too. I would call out for not looking at the camera, but from a quick glance it looks like you are cheating front PLUS the way the photo is taken allows that illusion to happen so good job on that BUT one of you eyes is a bit wonky like she didn't feel like participating...so just be aware of that. Good job.
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: No, because I feel like your cape will caught on the ride and you will get injured and I don't want to have to wait 5 hours dealing with the first responders and everything when I could be at home watching my shows.

Safe. I'm not giving you just that. I think this is fine. The outfit could be better because the pose kind of closes it off, so we can't see its full potential. It seems that you were going with a natural photo type of shot, which I like, but still, some execution things need to be worked on. The vibes are a bit eh especially since I am seeing this background a lot from others and this one doesn't stand out the most. The pose is fine, but you look very bored. I think you were trying for dreamy, but it wasn't executed right...maybe you were trying for "I'm thinking about cheese," but I was getting bored vibes. You have elements for a good photo, just need to be enhanced on those little things.
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: No, you seem bored so why am I wasting my carnival tickets on that? I'm playing skeeball.

Love this confident and striking pose. I love the choice of not riding the ride and being on the platform instead. Part of me wished you had shown a bit more of the horse to balance with to get an idea of the atmosphere/background, but the horse kinda looking bare, so maybe blocking it was the best choice. The outfit looks stunning on you and the lighting makes you look radiant! Wished you had more smoke/fog around you (maybe on the platform) to get that dreamy goddess vibe (similar to what I said to Robby). Put us in this state of dreaming about enhancing your beauty (well that is what I think dreamy means to me). Also I love the hair!
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: Sure! Be fun!

Nice, I love the outfit, especially the chain-mail drapy tingly whatever you call it on your body. I would have fun playing with that (the fabric, not your body... your body is very nice, but we would have to go to dinner first, then go to the park, see how the vibes are, and save a cat in a tree).
Your style and how the photo is presented give a very welcome welcome to my ride, and I like that. Very inviting but mysterious, like what is your secret? Not a full fan of the pose because the way your leg is, I just think it is a bit awkward unless you are inviting me to ride on your leg for the ride (this whole critique is just me falling in love, this is so embarrassing for me). I do appreciate the detail of the pedal under your foot, but honestly, the more that I look at this, I am kinda liking it. It is warming up to me (like our love...OMG who said that??)
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: No because I have to be professional, but I will be in my trailer in 15 mins. The password is AAAAAAAAA

This is a puzzle. We have the pieces, but the pieces aren't fitting. I like the look. Giving fairy glamour realness to me. I do love the atmosphere of the ride, moving and spinning (Sam, this is something yours could have been on, idk if you are reading this, but marking this). But we lose some focus in the front, and the lighting is a bit of an issue. I think the background is wonderful, but the foreground needed that touch-up. The pose confuses me because it looks like you are floating in the air. I see you are holding onto the pole, but it feels off and then your other arm looks like a pool noodle with the position/you were supposed to hold something, but it got yeeted from the ride. I think this pose would be a lot stronger if you were standing on the horse to give the right leg (the straight one) more power and the other one more purpose, and then we would figure out what to do with the other arm. The face though no notes. I love it. Is the photo dreamy? I don't see it. I get spinny, and when I get spinny, I get pukey, and I don't think my puking is dreamy at all. Overall, good elements, just execution was a bit flat
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: No, too fast, and I might get pukey and I don't like that.

This is a good photo. I like the outfit and the body accessories. Like if you are going to show the body, add some extra stuff, especially for a theme for this If it was like beach or something, then maybe something different. I do find that you and the rest of the image are out of place. You are very glamorous, and everything else is giving small-town vibes. We just finally got enough money for a real Christmas tree. It is good to do something different and stand out in the beat of your own drum (don't know if you decided on that, but just basing on your image), but you want to stand out for good reasons. Now, if you were glamorous in a more city-life outfit, I think that would be better, but you stick out like a sore thumb. Now is this dreamy...I don't know. I am not in an illusion.
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: No, because that town will call us slurs if we rode together and I am not in the mood for that.

I like this. The outfit is nice, and the colors are a nice blend with the horse, which is a nice touch. I think the lighting could be a bit better, the captivate you more. I think maybe some showgirl lighting, which usually can be on the seductive side, but I think with your outfit, it might work out better, but either way, more lighting on you. The pose is good, and I think it works because of the outfit, so great job on that, because sometimes the outfit looks bad because of a pose and vice versa, but you found the perfect blend. I wish there were a bit more going on, but overall, this is a nice photo, and hopefully the momentum will continue.
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: Yes, because honestly, that outfit looks comfortable

This is a nice photo. I love the outfit. Sparkle sparkle, gliz and glam, the only other word I can think of is ham. The pose screams, "I am having fun," but your face tells me otherwise. Like, are you dead or alive? This must be what pretty girls deal with. This is a story that I hope continues to develop this season. Also why are you kneeing the horse? What did that little shit say to you??? People might think "Robin, you are questioning Tisha a lot on the pose, but you gave her a green checkmark. Did Tisha threaten you?" No! *sweats* I just love a good story and it is different. I can't be curious???? I think you could have added more to the overall scenery of the photo because I am not getting the full dreamy experience, but overall, good job!
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: No, because I am not in the mood to fight with the animals. They will kick my ass. Not a joke, a fact.

Oooo, honey, I love this. This looks fun, something in a music video, maybe, and I love how the horse matches your outfit in the color scheme. The outfit is nice, and I like how it drapes on your body. The way you are posed looks like you took a break from the fun to do a quick pic, and then you went back to whatever was happening. I love being up and the other being straight. Every part has a purpose and not just there chilling. Your face looks great and I can sense the dreamy haze in it. I think it is a different version than the other ones but I still like it.
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: Yes. I want to go there.

Good job with this. Another pose where you aren't on the ride piece but just on the ride and it worked well. The way you are positioned is giving a '70s disco fever dance style (with your pants giving similarish vibes, but the shoes isn't). Your atmosphere is similar to honey's. Makes me think both of you are on the side ride, just taking photos at different spots. The lighting is nice and the way you look at the camera does provide a dreamy vibe. You probably just told someone this, "Hey, you wanna come spin on the ride?" or something people say (my ideal of flirting is "I paid the power bill already"). Good job!
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: No, cause like I think a lot of people are already in line and I'm already tired waiting so I just got snacks and fell asleep.

Hot take (idk if this is, but if people disagree, then it is) I really like this. It is so different, but it gives natural, raw vibes. I wish this were on a Polaroid or something. It is like a movie scene, and you are looking at your lover, and they take a photo of you (they are right behind you, of course) in this beautiful love montage, and then BOOM, they died because movies hate love and this is the movie where you decide to become the CEO of the company you work at (think of Working Girl meets Pretty Woman meets Pretty Little Liars with a dash of Secret Life of American Teenage Season 1). The only concern I have is what is underneath your dress? Is that a jean skort or something???? Are you going into the Amish or that religion where they have the thick, dry hair and a jean skirt that goes to their ankles? That did throw things off for me. Those details matter. Besides that, everything else I really like :)
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: No, because idk what is going on there and this might actually be a new season of American Horror Story and I ain't touching that shit.

I think this is a perfectly fine photo, but I think it needs a bit more pizazz (spelling) on it. I like the outfit, and the lighting does a good job of highlighting the copper/gold tones of it. Everything else is kind of okay, but nothing that bad, where it is like burn this photo and change your name to something else. The pose is okay, but I think you can do better. It could be the angle the photo was taken, but I do love the hair in the wind but I don't know if the background matches the speed of the hair of how it is flowing. I think maybe having some the hair already falling down would have helped. Besides that, good job.
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: Sure

Hi hello, my name is Nico Robin and I'm avail... I mean this is a nice photo. The outfit looks good, even though I wish the photo had been taken from a slightly different angle so we could get a better sense of it, especially the details. I do like the pose, especially since it seems you have the boot/shoe on the lens, as if you're pushing it away. If the way the photo was taken was on a different angle, I think th was would have been better (personally), but the overall look of the photo is nice because it is giving ("hey come on giddy up on the horsey and yippy" idk what else cowboys say, I just know Cowboy Carter from Beyonce). The background isn't the most dreamiest, but the way you have presented yourself would make a lot of people swoon. Like, I'm so into country right now. Sing about your tractors, beer, and haybelles or whatever.
🎠Ride Your Ride🎠: We already know that answer.
If none of this makes sense, that's okay, my input doesn't matter, I lost and got 10th place, so I'm just a loser face. I am just glad to be here :)
