Nin: "Hopefully to the surprise of no one, there is no top or bottom this week so we're going to go straight into critiques!"

Nin: "For this judging, you will be evaluated on all three categories at one go so prepare for some pretty long comments! Best of luck!"

This photo is absolutely beautiful. It's regal, it's majestic, it's stoic but yet modern in a way; it's easily something that not only represents what the judges feel is the kind of legacy you'd like to leave, but a picture I'd be happy with hanging up in the hall of fame. If this is your last photo for-EVER in this cycle, I think it's a photo you should feel very proud of. The legs do seem a bit awkward, but at this point, having a leg up on the competition is an ADVANTAGE and one of the panel even suggested it could be a metaphor. If so, it elevates your photo that much higher(see the pun there? a-HA) so wonderful job this week.

Category Is...FIERCE WALK.

Eric, this walk was VERY fun to watch. The way that you moved from your shoulders down to your hips to even your hands showed off the clothing in a way that could not be replicated with a different model, a different designer, not even a different stylist. You looked special and one of a kind in your outfit and that's exactly what a runway walk should do. In this aspect, there really aren't any critiques to be had about you. You NAILED the runway walk, start to finish and really embodied a FIERCE walk- which is right on what we asked you! Amazing job!

Category is...FRESH PERSONALITY.

Now Eric, for this category, you as well as your competitors are being judged not only on your explanation for why you should be crowned but on your personality throughout the entire season. Now let's start with your explanation. You went with a play-by-play sort of explanation and what I saw was someone who absolutely poured their heart and soul into this competition. It really felt as if by reading your explanation, we could see your week by week struggle and how much you really wanted to be here. It's been a definite journey for you to be here in the finale tonight. But, through the thick and thin, not only have you tied for the most challenge wins, but you also have had the ability to impress your competitors immensely throughout the entire competition. Not only did you manage to have the panel waiting for your photoshoots week after week, but you brought other models to be the best that they could be. People are threatened by your presence and it ups the competition that much more. In terms of the cycle, your personality SHINED the entire time and you should be very proud of the way you represented yourself here. Congratulations!

THANK you judges❤️

Sarah...SARAH. This photo is very reminiscent of Allison Harvard in the way that your eyes just look front, center and glamorous. This photo caught me off guard personally because your photos have been best when you choose simple drama but this photo...this photo takes direct assault to the NUMBER ONE CRITIQUE many girls had this cycle; being overtaken by the background and effects! But this is quite honestly the perfect example of how to over step it. There's so much edge, so much story, so many signs of listening in this one photo; this is really a shot to behold.

Category is...FABULOUS STRUT.

Your walk was another aspect that completely shocked the panel. Because of your thought out and layered photos, I was personally worried that you would overthink your strategy with the walk and go for something too stiff and proper to stand out. And BOY, was that WRONG. Your walk was so fun and bouncy and young; it really was something so out of left field from what you usually show to the panel floor that it was just amazing to watch. Your walk was almost like a performance; utterly entertaining and had everyone hooked from the very beginning. Your versatility has just been amazing and it really comes out full force here.

Category is...FRESH PERSONALITY.
Now, Sarah, as stated before, tonight you will be evaluated not only on your explanation but on your representation of yourself throughout the entire cycle. Starting off the competition, there were easily doubts about you. But very early on, I noticed your ability to listen. In your explanation, you said that you have a skill to translate your personality into your photos and I agree with that. Your portfolio is probably the most cohesive out of the finalists. And you, Miss Portello, has had the most improvement and visible journey this entire time. Watching you across the season has been wonderful and it has been an absolute pleasure to watch you progress. Congratulations!

And finally...Quin Karsyn.

Quin, you made a name for yourself by bringing a level of prestige to this competition that hasn't been seen in this competition in such a long time. You have never had a bad angle and your thinking and elite style of beauty has been engraved for in the pantheon of gorgeous models. You are LOVED here. But, unfortunately, this week was the most important to have activity. And by not submitting, I have no choice but to eliminate you from the competition. I am sorry but you are no longer in the running to becoming Ninjohn's Next Top Model.

Quin leaves the competition.

OMG!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
