This week, Tina is representing "Nice for What" by Drake!

Tina, I will admit, I was worried for whoever was going to receive this song. Rap is a genre that isn't really modeled after in the fashion industry and it's very easy to turn it gimmicky or tacky if one has to dabble in that specific branch. I was worried that you were going to go a little too casual but not only did you go the opposite direction, you went completely beyond my expectations for this song. Let's start with your explanation; this is probably the best you've presented yourself the entire cycle. You showed personality but you also showed a viewpoint and a purpose with professionalism and that's the key to coming across as competent to us on the panel. And for your concept and photo, it was executed flawlessly. You translated exactly what you wanted to and I think I could definitely see this girl in the video or listening to this song at work, even. It was a very interesting way to spin it and I'm refreshed to see you back in your groove. The only critique that the panel had is that this photo is a bit simple. But this simplicity also plays towards your concept so all around this week was a smash for you. Keep up the good work, I'm definitely proud of you!

Sunmi: "You look SO HOT in this photo! Buy SO HOT on iTunes!"

Nin: "Well, the judges and I have seen enough. And I have made some...decisions."

Me and ember

Nin: "Melodie Quinn. In your "No Tears Left to Cry Photoshoot" you put the panel in a state of mind that we'd like to be in all the time.

Stanley Meeks. Your "Meant to Be" photoshoot encouraged the judges to continue ride. Show us where you can go."

Nin: "Congratulations, you two are still in the running to becoming Ninjohn's Next Top Model. You may step to the back of the stage."

Nin: "Judith Judassy. Your "One Kiss" photoshoot has left the judges begging for more. Tina Hamasaki. This week, you questioned being "Nice for What." And your ferocity left the judges at a pleasant loss."

...Nin: "Judith Judassy, congratulations, you are the WINNER of this week's challenge!

Sunmi:

Nin: "You've won a pivotal advantage in the next week's challenge! Tina, congratulations; the both of you are still in the running to becoming Ninjohn's Next Top Model!"

oh damnnnnn finally won again after 8 weeks

Me when I didn't win

Nin: "And then there were four.

Crystal Silvian. Coming off of last week, you proved you have what it takes to be a Top Model. However, in order to win the competition, the ability to stay focused has to be "In Your Blood."

Diana Black. In your "Body" photoshoot, you showed us pretty. But, if you're not careful, pretty can be easily devoured.

Ember Moon. This week, your Post Malone inspiration was supposed to be psychotic. However, your execution bordered on...neurotic.

Sarah Portello. This week, you were tasked with representing "The Middle." And, while your photoshoot was above and beyond, your concept was...below average."

...Nin: "Ember Moon and Sarah Portello. Congratulations, you are still in the running to becoming Ninjohn's Next Top Model. That means Crystal Silvian and Diana. I'm sorry but you are both up for elimination."

Nin: "Crystal S. Diana. This is your LAST chance to impress me...and save yourself from elimination. We have a special trailer out back where you will receive just a few moments to Face-Face-FACE Off...for your life. The duration of your shoot is the length of the song playing while you do so, and this week, your song is "Like Money" by the Wonder Girls.

Nin: "The rules are simple: you must outpose your fellow model. Be fierce. Be unique. And most importantly: BE. A. BOSS! Best of luck!"

-CRYSTAL S. VS. DIANA!-

(You have ONE day to submit your look to go along with this song! It is officially due at 8:00 PM PST/11:00 PM PST! You must MAIL me your looks, do NOT post them in panel! And tomorrow, we will see who is the ELEVENTH model eliminated from NNTM: Cycle 7! Best of luck!)
