Love Nicole. Still convinced it was a fix. I think it's a conspiracy. Both she and Ren had to be fixes. Hand-picked by Tyra, lots of experience, booted immediately. I think they were moles for the girls in the house.
The way the eyebrows are drawn on makes her look old. Im sure she had other shots where she looked younger, she was just kinda boring and an easy choice for elimination I feel.
IMO, i think the judges didn't give her the same opportunity like the other girls bcoz they focused on 'you look old in the picture' thing... they haven't seen her body of work yet.. i think she's underrated.
This picture is just ugly. The lighting hit all the wrong places and her pose is really weak. I definitely think this was the result of intentionally poor photo picking to out an absolute stunner early. I feel like most of the best lookers left so early as to not threaten whoever they actually wanted to win.
