Now we will begin deliberation. For you girls' very first photoshoot in the competition, you posed shirtless alongside fellow 'The Face judge, Dexton in the great outdoors. We wanted to see connection and chemistry between the two of you and make sure that Dexton does not outshine you.

 

Lets get started! The first girl up for deliberation is Whitney...

 

 

Whitney: www.flickr.com/photos/87945352@N07/8334899401/in/photostr... - We really love this photo as a whole as we feel like this photo tells a story, its like you are clutching onto Dexton asking him not to leave you and we really love the emotion you are evoking in this shot. Out of all the girls, you definitly had one of the best connection with Dexton as you are both working together rather than you working on your own. The only thing we are not a fan of is your face, we wish you'd have given off an almost sad/sorrow sort of look to go along with your body language as currently in this photo your body and your face are not working together.

 

 

Leila: www.flickr.com/photos/87945352@N07/8335967236/in/photostr... - We are slightly dissapointed with this shot Leila. You definitly have bags of potential but you are simply not using your unique look to your advantage here. The posing is a little bit all over the place and you look incredibly stiff here. Instead of looking like you love Dexton, you have made yourself look like you are pushing him away from you which is not good. Your face is nice, but we think that if you'd have looked at Dexton, it would've created more of a connection between the two of you.

 

 

Alex: www.flickr.com/photos/87945352@N07/8334918913/in/photostr... - Wow! Your eyes are piercing right through here Alex! You have such an alienesque face that just photographs perfectly and your eye connection with the camera here is almost spine-tingling. The way you positioned yourself is very...interesting to say the least, we are having a sort of love/hate vibe with it. We do love that you took a risk this theme as it did pull-off but Dexton did say that he found you hard to work with due to you having a tantrum before you went of set. Please learn to control this - fake it until you make it!

 

 

Maya: www.flickr.com/photos/87945352@N07/8334880839/in/photostr... - Whereas the public seem to love this shot of you we, the judges, are unsure. You seem to photograph a little old, so you are going to have to find angles that are complementative towards you. Your face is a little dead here too and we feel a very big lack of chemistry between the two of you, this shot isn't bad but its very in the middle. That being said, the public seem to love you so having a fanbase behind you is always a good thing.

 

 

Veronica: www.flickr.com/photos/87945352@N07/8335924660/in/photostr... - Your look has got to be one of our personal favourites out of the whole group! You have this really European and Italian vibe to you which is always good to have in modelling. We think this photo is one of the strongest shots out of the bunch as you both seem to be playing off from one another and there is an immediate connection. You are working with Dexton but are making sure he doesn't outshine you. Great job!

 

 

Rosie: www.flickr.com/photos/87945352@N07/8335974552/in/photostr... - Rosie, what happened?! You look like a rabbit that got caught in the headlights! You look incredibly uncomfortable here and it looks like you are about to make a break for it and run away from Dexton. Dexton stated that you were incredibly nervous when on set which explains why your shot is less than impressive. You have to realise that you are a gorgeous girl with a tone of potential - you need to have confidence in yourself.

 

 

Charley: www.flickr.com/photos/87945352@N07/8335973096/in/photostr... - As soon as London saw this shot she stated that it was boring and we have to agree with her, this photo has no spark or connection between the two of you at all and this photo as a whole is just lackluster. Your face looks blank and its not doing much for us and the only thing we do like is the fact that you are looking into Dexton's eyes. Also, the public did state how you do not scream 'Model' to them and which is not a good thing at all.

 

 

Perrie: www.flickr.com/photos/87945352@N07/8335963874/in/photostr... - We like the way you are posing in this shot Perrie, and we love the way you appear to be lounging yourself onto Dexton in a loving way. As far as body language goes, you've nailed it but we think that if you turned and faced Dexton then this would've be an A+ grade shot. Your photo is one of the best this week however you did managed to make yourself look a little bit on the shortside.

 

 

Letitia: www.flickr.com/photos/87945352@N07/8335942814/in/photostr... - You have recieved mixed views from the general public this week. Whereas some of the public ADORE your look, others are not very big fans - your look appears to be one of the love/hate sort of things as you are so quirky and unique you may not come across as everybodys cup of tea. Personally, we think that you did a great job this week and we are loving your mysterious face here. The right arm is a little bit awkward and stiff though which kind of ruins the photo slightly but apart from that, you did a good job.

 

 

Vienna: www.flickr.com/photos/87945352@N07/8334895125/in/photostr... - You have handsdown the best connection out of the bunch with Dexton within your shot! We love the fact that you are staring at him directly him in the eyes as it makes it look like you really are in love with Dexton which is exactly what we wanted for this photoshoot. Some of the public have stated that you have appeared to have almost lost the model inside of you which we do have to agree with slightly.

 

 

Rita: www.flickr.com/photos/87945352@N07/8335963158/in/photostr... - We were expecting a lot more from you Rita since you have one of the most editorial and modelesque looks out of the whole bunch but this photo is just extremely dissapointing. You look uncomfortable and your face is not working whatsoever, you certainly know how to pose but you are posing far too much for a shot like this. In this photo Dexton is outshining you in a highly considerate amount and you have appeared to have totally missed the mark this theme.

 

 

India: www.flickr.com/photos/87945352@N07/8335946094/in/photostr... - Another extremely dissapointing shot I'm afraid. You do appear to be attempting to model but you are simply not modelling with Dexton which is what we DIDN'T want. Although your face would be good for an editioral shoot, for this theme imparticular it does not work whatsoever. The whole photo just screams amateur and the general public were not fans of your this photo either.

 

 

Felix: www.flickr.com/photos/87945352@N07/8335938416/in/photostr... Ooh Felix we are totally loving this! We love how it looks like you have fallen on top of Dexton in a romantic and loving way but yet you have still remembered to model. Even though you are not looking at him, you are still giving off a major amount of connection and love between the both of you which is a tricky thing to do but you have managed to pull it off. The only slight critique we'd give to you is that we would've liked to have seen a bit more of a smize from you.

 

 

Nik: www.flickr.com/photos/87945352@N07/8334884803/in/photostr... - Wow! We are really surprised by this shot Nik! You are working this shot to the max and we are loving the side-glance at the camera - its as if you are giving off a; "Who, me?" sort of vibe as if you are running away with your lover. You are a really photogenic girl and you photograph beautifully. I think that if you'd have held hands with Dexton then it would've made this shot just that bit more amazing.

Bottom Two...

 

Would India and Rita please step forward. Tonight, one of you will be leaving the competition for good. Two beautiful girls stand before me but both of you failed to impress this week.

 

India, the Aussie beauty with the whole girl-next-door look that she has going on! You are a perfect example of what a top model is but what you brought to the table this week is less than impressive. You failed to meet the criteria for the photoshoot and you looked generally uncomfortable this week. Do you have the potential and the look in order to become 'The Face'?

 

Rita, the exotic and European stunner who looks like she has just stepped off of the set of a 'Dior' shoot. You are exactly what the industry are looking for right now but in photographs, you tend to not photograph aswell as we had hoped and it showed in your photo this week. Both the judges and the public were not fans of your photo at all this week and we are struggling to see if you could actually become 'The Face'.

 

 

So who stays? India, the natural beauty but failed to make an impact or Rita, the exotic girl who has the goods but failed to deliver?

 

The girl who is still in the running towards becoming 'The Face' is...

13. India.

 

We feel that you have more to show and this week was just not in your favour. Congratulations, you are still in the running towards becoming 'The Face'

 

 

Rita we are sorry that you are the first girl to leave, it must suck but you tones of potential to make it big. However, we think that you are more suited for runway. Goodbye and goodluck!
