Challenge #11

"Go-Sees"

Hello Top 7, welcome to your go-sees! And we have finally got to one of the highlights of the Next Top Model series, bring out your best anything can happen on this day forward.

You'll be going to FOUR different agencies and you need to go to these different agencies and perform your best WITHOUT HOLDING BACK. Unfortunately, with the judges' crisis going on I can't have 5 agencies, that being said I'll be giving you all a BONUS for that supposed last agency.

Below are the agencies you'll be going to.

Order of the agencies:

1.) GARRETT'S GALA

Here we have one of the current judges, he is the winner of the Next Top Model Cycle 12: Breaking Boundaries, let's give it to Judge Garrett Neff (Brandonh1). This is Judge Garrett's fourth appearance on the go-sees.  For his agency, he wants something expensive. His task is for you to present a photo that looks expensive/high fashion.

Example/s (from those who were booked before):

2.) UNIQUE

Here we have the comeback of one of the newer agencies, owned by the winner of the Next Top Model Cycle 11: Clash of Ascendancy and our very own judge, Lenox Tillman. It's the third time Unique has been added to the go-sees list. You are tasked here to present a photo that is high fashion in the most different of ways. She specifically stated that "The most risk equals the most pay off, I want those who are willing to stand out in the best ways."

Example/s (from those who were booked before):
- From Cycle 14, Bella Hadid - 3rd

3.) DEBOTION

Of course, we also have here, the Next Top Model, Cycle 14: Art of Redemption winner - our very own judge, Judge Jon Kortajarena (tast519)! This is the second time he'll be joining our go-sees panel. And with his own statement, "Anyone who tuned into cycle 14 knows that I was the emotional debonair! In honor of that, I've launched a fashion brand called "Debotion". In this go-see, you have to portray a debonair, as in someone who is confident, stylish, and charming. I'm looking for you to hit those three adjectives well and to also give a very captivating and stunning fashion photo. Because of the nature of this photoshoot, the photo should be self-explanatory. Good luck!"

Example/s (from those who were booked before):
- From Cycle 15, Shaun Ross - 4th

- From Cycle 15, Saskia de Brauw - 3rd

4.) YIN AND YANG

This is the only new addition for this season's go-sees. It is owned by none other than the winner of the Next Top Model, Cycle 15 Winner, who also had been your guest judge in the earlier weeks, Judge Jhonattan Burjack (Russell11). For this agency he is requiring you to submit two photos - yes two photos which you probably know what should symbolizes. In his words "At Yin and Yang, we have two major themes. Yin, being darkness, and Yang, being light. Show us your darkness, and then show us your light."

5.) BONUS QUESTION
I never would have expected this would be back for a fill-in but with the judging crisis again, I decided to give this as a bonus. BUT you must earn it. What will you be doing? So I need to know each of your opinion on who's the BIGGEST and the LEAST threat for you in this competition. By rankings #1 being the biggest threat for you and #6 being the least, you are to rank your co-models on who you think delivers more and explain EVERY ranking you've made and why you placed them to each place.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

You'll be going to FOUR agencies and you need to BOOK each of it to gain 8 points (2 points each agency) if not you'll only gain 1 point for each agency. The last 2 points will be if you did the bonus question.

Since Dua and Taylor will only have 2 agencies to go to, they are FREE to pick which agencies they will be going to. To the agencies they won't go, they will not score a point.

Top 7, you will have 48 hours to complete the task. Goodluck! x

GARRETT'S GALA | https://i.imgur.com/0cGbmMY.jpg

This challenge was quite difficult. Finding something that would get in the mood of what was proposed without keeping to the suit pattern, especially being the only cis man in the competition. I am inspired by the story of the boy in the striped pajamas to represent my look of the night, something childish on the face (makeup and haircut), blue and striped couture clothes as well as the story and bare feet, to get closer to reality of the character.

UNIQUE | https://i.imgur.com/pQyPcox.jpg

Looking for inspiration for something high fashion I realized that small elements add an X factor that make the photos stand out. For this challenge, my differential factor was playing with the food for the photo and still maintaining the quality that a model must deliver. I hope you enjoy!

DEBOTION | https://i.imgur.com/FOK60hr.jpg

Reviewing my trajectory through the program, and being the only cis man in the competition, I believe that I managed and can apply the consistency of the word DEBONAIR to my photos. For this challenge, I tried not to overload the photo with disposable elements and focused on passing on the grandeur of the word through modeling.

YIN AND YANG | (YIN) https://i.imgur.com/H4cK3Vn.jpg | (YANG) https://i.imgur.com/UyE3ImL.jpg

This is one of the most fun themes we had throughout the competition, and to represent Yin and its darkness I adopted a more chaotic and disturbed posture, someone lost in his own thoughts, the photo is also in a darker and poorly lit environment . As for Yang, I sought balance, the person who has self-knowledge, the gesture of the hand is to remember the curvature of the symbol and unlike Yin, the place is well lit and focused on white.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BONUS QUESTION |

#1 | Milla

Milla always delivers quality, lots of challenges and shots that she didn’t win. I could easily crown her as the winner. As much as I like it, I hope it will be eliminated before me as it will be a difficulty for me to win the game with her here.

#2 | Dua

Dua delivers quality, and even if she is not a model, she has a path in this industry, which makes things even more difficult for other competitors.

#3 | Taylor

I think Taylor is a little underestimated, many of her victories in challenges were in a group, I think she delivers more in photoshoots and with a large collection we must be careful. As much as I like her, I expected her to leave and that there was no tie in the last episode, she is a danger.

#4 | Lupita

Lupita is the competitor who has a history more similar to mine inside here. We are always oscillating between the top and the bottom. She is my closest ally and I would love to see her with me in the competition for longer.

#5 | Violet

Violet has creativity and differentiation, but I think her photos are poorly executed, in addition to making her very overrated. As much as it has many qualities, I can predict much of what it will present each day.

#6 | Mia

Are there any good pictures? Yes, but Mia delivers a lot of low quality stuff. That photo from when we arrived in Cuba and that it represents a white moth is a shame of the entire Top model career, in addition to having a snot in front of the photo. We are getting along well, but it is easy to see who delivers little at this point in the competition.

This is jewels and feathers and opulence. She is rich, she’s a bitch and she breathes in her wealth.

Unique:

Ok so u know as I love serving sex however no one has taken it to this level. This is pushing boundaries while still serving beauty.

Debotion:

This is very confident and I feel like I have got it going on. She is the moment.

Yin and Yang:

Yin: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f4/73/31/f4733132c94c494313c927fbff00b6b8.jpg

This is a dark enchanting aura that is luring you to your doom. It’s tempting but very bad for you.

Yang: https://media1.fdncms.com/saltlake/imager/u/original/3090302/music_feature1-1-3817bd5a9fe802e0.jpg

This is innocent and pure. She is light and harmless.

RANKINGS

#1 Taylor

I honestly see Taylor as a front runner for the competition. She has had many challenge wins, which will definitely help her if she makes it to the end. Without a doubt I view her as my biggest competition because I see her as the likely winner.

#2 Mia

I feel like Mia has yet to hit her peak, but I fully believe it will happen. I can see Mia being the dark horse of the season and dominating the remaining few challenges and photoshoots. And while she hasn't had many crazy standout moments, she hasn't had any terrible or weak moments. Her portfolio is strong enough that she could win in the end.

#3 Joo-Hyuk
I think Nam has a shot at winning this. There have been a few rough moments for him, but there have also been some amazing great moments from him. He has been able to pull off amazing moments, and if he continues to do so he can win.

#4: Milla
Milla has such a strong look that really makes her stand out. She really is probably the model that I think is the most versatile out of all of us. She can pull off so many different looks. This is a cool ability, and I could see it making her the winner!

#5: Dua
Dua is a very consistent model. The last week was the only time she was ever really in danger. She is a strong model. She hasn't had too many "wow" moments, but she could win if she makes it to the end because of her overall portfolio being strong.

#6: Violet
I can't remember VIolet having a bad moment in the competition, but can remember Violet having very many good moments. The reason I have Violet ranked last is strictly because I struggle to remember them. I don't know if this is because of the house chat being not as active as it normally is, or if there is something else going on there. That being said, I do think Violet could win. I strongly believe that every model left in this competition has very strong chances.

https://static.billboard.com/files/media/Dua-Lipa-bb23-2018-feat-billboard-buviuvh-1240-compressed.jpg

I think I match all three adjectives with this photos described, sometimes you gotta push those limits.

UNIQUE

https://api.ellecanada.com/app/uploads/2020/06/duaELI716170.jpg

In the newest collection of outfits that are unique in their own ways, here is Dua Lipa!

==RANKINGS==

1. Taylor

Much that I hate to admit it even though her first time in the bottom was last week, she really does bring it every photoshoot, with a lot of challenge wins to serving constant good photos that the judges seem to like. They know what they like, and so Taylor is the clear front runner.

2. Milla

I feel as though Milla might be the dark horse in this competition, she does consistently well but she also doesn't get into the drama. She can really serve a photoshoot and some of my favorite photos come from her so I think she could give everyone a run for their money.

3. Lupita

I feel as though while Milla is the dark horse, I think Lupita is the underdog here she's really hit or miss when it comes to photos but I think she really does a good job at selling herself and her brand, She brings a lot of positive energy and I think she could make a great winner.

4. Violet

Violet hasn't had a bad moment in the competition yet I just don't think she has a strong pretense to be a model. She tends to fade a bit in the background as the weeks go on, like I don't really remember any of her photos compared to the one's she won.

5. Mia

I'm giving Mia this placement because I think she's a good model, I just don't think she found her stride yet, she does well but like me she hasn't won photoshoot yet which isn't a bad thing, I just think she maybe slipping through the cracks now that the numbers dwindle.

6. Joo-hyuk

Now don't get me wrong this is nothing personal, and I absolutely adore him, I'm just not sure about it, he has two best photos yes but it was hard making his rankings and I just don't see him securing the win. He's an amazing model, but I think he needs more time to ripen, and with how fast paced this contest is, it might be too soon for him. I hope he doesn't take this to heart though because it was really hard making these rankings.

1. Garrett's Gala [Garrett Neff]

The Met Gala is known for it's unique and iconic fashion so that's what I'm going for with this look.

https://pirellicalendar.pirelli.com/img/2020/51_Mia_Goth.jpg

2. Unique [Lenox Tillman]

Sometimes my unique photoshoots can hinder me in this competition, so I'm happy to see a Go-See that's all about uniqueness. This shot of me is so unique I can bet you've never seen anyone else do it before. It's creepy, yet beautiful. Dark and editorial.

3. Debotion [Jon Kortajarena]

https://ibb.co/k2FH5Pg

I'd like to think I'm hitting all the marks with this photo. I'm charming, confident all while in a stylish outfit and hair.

4. Yin and Yang [Jhonattan Burjack]

Yin: https://anotherimg-dazedgroup.netdna-ssl.com/1600/azure/another-prod/360/3/363070.jpg

This picture is dark and a bit creepy. I'm lying down looking at the camera with lifeless eyes, almost as if I'm a lifeless corpse.

Yang: http://francesca-turner.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/MIA_G_10.jpg

This image is the polar opposite of the other. I have an expression on my face and I'm laying on my back with the sun in my face and I'm reaching upwards as opposed to lying face-down in the other picture.

5. Bonus Question [Jerard]

[1] Taylor - No surprise here, Taylor is the one to look out for! She has won the most challenges in top model history and both times she won PoTW she looked STUNNING. I'd be surprised not seeing Taylor in the finale, which is why she's also my biggest competition! Respect!

[2] Lupita - Much like Taylor, Lupita is someone I saw in the finale since day 1. She started off this competition strong and even though she's been in the bottom a few times she's still here and that says something. She has really memorable shots and I'd be surprised if she was eliminated before f4.

[3] Milla - Honestly, I didn't expect Milla to make it this far in the competition only because she's an older model - but she sure proved me wrong. Milla is one of the most stunning, editorial models I've seen in this competition and she's also a close contender for the crown.

[4] Violet - I like Violet and I think she can make it far in this competition by using the right shots. Sometimes her shots can get repetitive but I can still see her being in the top if she uses the her best shots. I'm not gonna underestimate her like some of the other people here.

[5] Dua - To be fair I think me and Dua are similar in the way that we've never won PoTW. But last time I checked two of the best top model winners have never won PoTW either. That being said, I don't see Dua making it further in the competiton. I don't really see much versatility with her. Don't feel hurt, though, Dua because I actually respect you.

[6] JooHyuk - I put Joo last honestly because I don't think he's had that great pictures so far. His movie character and music video pictures were amazing, but I can't remember any of this other pictures. I find his portfolio forgettable and his entire "good guy" personality is faker than me attempting to be a nice person. We can all see right through it. I feel like if he won he would go down as the worst winner in Top Model history. Just my two cents.

Thank you that is all. *bows*

Yang: https://m-jovovich.org/Gallery/displayimage.php?album=2735&pid=81093

Might be risky but here I am serving 2 different beauty shots that express different moods: darkness and serenity.

Bonus Question

1) Taylor: Although she's had her few downs in this season, she's able to consistently slay and remain each week. I'd have to say she pretty much surprised everyone as she's naturally seen as a singer only or artist, but clearlyyyy THIS SEASON WE ARE BREAKING THE BOUNDARIES. I do see Taylor as a fierce competitor definitely.

2) Nam Joo-hyuk: Joo might seem weak, but week by week I've been figuring him out slowly. It seems as though he's smart about when to lie low and when to go for the crown. He's a cunning and strategic one or I might be mistaken, but if he's really not that deserving then how has he made it so far? Food for thought.

3) Dua: Miss Dua here is a wild card, I did not really expect her to make it this far ...don't get me wrong I don't remember half of her shots but her drive to remain is inspirational. Do I see her getting the crown? Meh, but I might be also mistaken here too.

4) Mia: Mia is also a wild card tbh in my opinion, she has her good shots but they aren't Next Top model worthy like I haven't seen any that have made me go WOW like Taylor's, Joo's or Dua. I think she's still in the process of growth in my eyes.

5) Lupita: Lupita started off this competition with a bang and I did see her as a fierce competitor, but throughout the competition I feel like she's died down a bit which is disappointing.

6) Violet: The only reason I put Violet this low is because I haven't seen versatility from him, to me it seems like different sets and outfits but always the same facial expression. I would definitely like to see the Violet that slayed the masc X fem theme.
