We are now at the final 5, and this week Dimitra flew the models to Bali for a jungle editorial!! The stakes are at it's highest, the models have all come a long way.
Congratulations to Fancy Marilise LeQuishaQ Marquis GuiltyAsSin - truly you have all done amazing.
As always all opinions are my own.

Marilise - this shot is a testament to your growth. You managed to find a stance that broke away from the predictable, creating a silhoutte that feels to me both architectural and organic. You have placed yourself in the centre of the environment whilst successfully blending it! Regarding the style, it is bold and it pushes boundaries of the jungle aesthetic, the choice of outfit and the reveal of the 🍑 becomes a bold statement of confidence. Really well done, and congratulations this week.

Marquis - Your facial structure remains the best this competition, you are serving intensity and it is always great to see. The are the main focus here. However, every detail should matter. The brief called to blend into the environment, while your presence is commanding, the colour of your styling creates sharp differences against the tropical background. A more intentional play with earth tones and textures would have turned this into a great week for you!! Regardless, you always slay and your FACE CARD IS WOW! Congratulations on Final 5!

LeQuishaQ - You have absolutely mastered this. This is the definition of high-fashion editorial, the styling.. the hair ... and the makeup.. chefs kiss. Your stance is fluid and seems natural, whilst also remaining bold. The way your skin glows in the jungle light.. ugh just amazing. Your expression is glamour and it's also giving a sense of mystery, there is a story to tell. This is without a doubt, your best this season in my opinion. You have really shown that you take effort into each photo. You tore this, congratulations on Final 5!

GuiltyAsSin - your commitment to always being different and standing out - especially with your makeup, has been a highlight of the season. You always bring something distinct, and the last few episodes you have really stepped up.. keep going the end is in sight! Your styling in this photo hits the theme perfectly, your expression is great and as mentioned, the makeup here is a hit. However, because the environment is so rich and saturated, the composition feels slightly overcrowded. The background is also competing for the main spotlight, and this pulls focus away from your presence. The leg extension, while it looks great, it may read as slightly unnatural, but again I think is because your face is appearing small and the camera distortion. Congratulations on Final 5!

Fancy - I always look forward to your photos, you're not afraid to take bold creative choices. You have an unforgettable quality, and I am always locked on your model, regardless of the complexity of the set. You always own the space you are in. That said, as we rearch the final, the line between high fashion and costume becomes a bit of an issue for me in this particular photo. You for sure show boldness and strength, but the styling feels a little bit too literal, you could've pushed this further. You have done so well in this competition and progressed immensely, congratulations on final 5!
