As always, in order of my favorite to least favorite. And let me tell you, I thought they were all pretty atrocious. Who knew that BNTM had even worse photo shoot ideas than ANTM?

Alex – Unlike many of the other girls (as you will later see), she managed to look intense, yet in control of her features. I’m not going to say it’s a great shot, but comparatively, it’s quite well done, and quite edgy.

Catherine – I have to give it to her… despite the hair and makeup debacle, she at least looks like she’s displaying real, painful emotion, and still looking pretty.

Charlotte – Not impressed. Perhaps it’s due at least in part to the nasty hairdo and makeup, but she really dropped the ball this week. Her face is boring, and it looks like she has a prosthetic hand glued to the front of her jacket. Of all the girls, though, I’d say she still looks the prettiest in this shot.

Martha – I’m not usually a fan of the screaming, mouth-open thing, but her eyes are very emotive, which scores big points with me.

Aaron – I doubt she was going for the wax museum look.

Stephanie – Anyone who listens to Tyra can tell you there’s a difference between ugly-pretty and just plain ugly. She was a bit off the mark here.

Rachael – It was kind of a cross between the Joker (from the Batman series) and the crazy mother on Psycho. Scary.

Leanne – What’s with the maniacal look and half-hearted claw? Creepy. And boring. At the same time.

ELIMINATED:
Leanne & Martha

P.S. I should also point out (because it was brought up) that, no, I do not live in Britain, so I do have to wait to watch the episodes until they are posted online. I do, however, like seeing the photos first, because then I can make judgments on them without being swayed by what the judges on the show say about them. And frankly, if it’s a themed photo shoot, one should be able to tell what the theme is without having to be told.

Photos (from my favorite to least favorite) Leanne - I really like this one a lot, which took me by surprise since I haven’t been so impressed with her photos since the first one; looks like beauty shots are her forte. Charlotte – looking like a model, as always Alex – intense… perhaps a bit too “tough” Martha - didn’t like it at first glance, but the more I look at it the more I like it Catherine – not a fan of the facial expression Aaron – looking a bit snarly there Stefanie – Wow this is one awful shot. It looks like they photo shopped someone else’s mouth onto her picture. Plus, her head looks too big for how small her shoulder is and they didn’t bother to edit out the crease lines on her neck. Lisa – How has she made it this far? This looks totally unprofessional. Did she even know her photo was being taken? Rachael – She’s looking really disproportionate here, posey-posey, and has absolutely no neck. bad, bad, bad. Call-out order:
