I like the face, but the outfit looks something out of a bad S&M. And the angles are way too much. She lost like 5 inches.

I think she rocked it.

soooooooooo underrated. 3rd best for me. the face is STUNNING, the body looks good, and she's selling me the lingerie. it's just the arms/hands that are stiff.

So first Kahlen's friend dies in cycle 4 and she has to do a shoot in a graveyard then jael's friend dies and they have to do this shoot? Way to go tyra. Way. To. Go.

I don't think Tyra is to blame for everything. But it does seem too much of a coincidence though... like other things, such as Michelle (Cycle 5) having to be Ellen Degeneres straight (no pun intended) after she came out as gay/bi.

I know things seem a little too coincidental. But I'm pretty sure all the photoshoots are pre=determined before the Cycle has started. The situation with Kahlen, that shoot was about the 7 Deadly Sins, and that shoot may have been pushed forward...

Now what would really be scary would be if Tyra was 86ing friends of antm alumni in order to start drama... Now that sounds like a mystery novel.

^^I've been wondering how the photoshoots work. The thing is, the cycle 4 shoot happened right after Kahlen's friend died, so I don't know if Tyra knew yet. Cycle 8's shoot, on the other hand, was a week or two (I can't remember) after Jael's friend had died, and she had mentioned it during panel, so we know that Tyra definitely knew about it. I think cycle 4's shoot was probably a coincidence, but I'm not too sure about this one :-/

It would take a LOT of time to reserve a graveyard. So that I'm putting up to coincedence, but with Jael. I mean, it could have been planned but it's not that hard to reserve a few rooms/rooftop of a hotel and get some clothes.

^Agreed.

I never realized what the judges thought was so correct about this one. But the cycle aired today and after reexamining from another angle. I find Jael's pose to be exceptionally brilliant.

this looks ten times better, can't really figur out why but it works

^^ the flipped pose is miles better because it looks as if she used motion to acquire this shot rather than just lying there with death on her mind.

The pose is anything but brilliant, no dead person would have their hands like that, I don't even think the right hand is resting on the bed and the left hand is tense as hell, impossible to have that position if you're "dead" unless your killer positioned you like that.

^besides the hands, it's brilliant. and i don't mind the hands.

dont like this shot, she had the easyiest one and she failed imo.

What up with her hands?

The hands are the only bad point here!!

her right hand REALLY bothers me when I look at this picture.

A bit disappointing but there are some great things here.
