I think she was authentically overwhelmed from the stress of the competition where as a good example using whiny excuses would be Liz C15 during every photoshoot. I do see Angelea in the final 3, along with Allison and maybe Kayla or Dominique.
^^^ It's her opinion, though. Just because she dosen't worship some highly regarded model like Coco dosen't mean she dosen't know anything about modelling. Sheesh, there are some real elitists on this board.
I will agree that the shot they got of Angelea isn't the best but from the film I know she did work it out on set. I feel bad for Laura's too since I think her outfit sabotaged her a bit too. Its just that when she is bad...she is really bad.
This shoot seemed unfair to Laura -- it looked like she was getting great shots earlier on but they couldn't be used because Angelea was so weak -- Angelea returns and gets a few great shots but Laura (who arguably had the more difficult task of falling every time) becomes restricted to the fewer good shots of Angelea. (Coco is awesome in every one imo)
Laura looks awful here but to be honest, I hated how the judges told her that she didn't work her body well (or something) - she was told to fall onto a mattress...
@samsboyfriend : Even if a model successfull and have international career doesn't mean you have to like her, and if someone doesn't like her doesn't mean she/he doesn't know anything about the industry, we can have favorite models and models who we don't like, I personally love Sasha Pivovarova, Coco Rocha, Lara Stone, Malgosia Bela, & list can go on. And I hate some like Omahyra Mota. Even if that person doesn't know about industry, doesn't mean you can make fun of them
