Regardles of what one thinks of Naima, this was amazing, best of the week for me. I would've called: 1)Naima, 2)Kahlen, 3)Britney, 4)Michelle, 5)Christina, and elimanted Keenyah(I loved her first three shots, but she had enough second chances.)

^Then again, Michelle was big to start with. Keenyah's look is weaker, though
^^Keenyah was also big to start with, she always had a pooch and no waist. She's lucky that when she got bigger, she got bigger all around rather than it ending up in her stomach [Natasha] or her thighs [London]. Both of them were good models with interesting looks, out of the final 6, Naima should have gone. 1 good shot does not make up for being mediocre throughout, but if I could choose, this would be Tiffany's place.

^Not sure about Keenyah's look; she was like pedestrian with a swolen jaw
^^I actually think that Keenyah has a very versatile look, while it's not in fashion right now, she had a great look for 3 Cs [Commercial, Catalogue, Couture] at one point or another. ^She really was not that small to begin with, she had a beer belly and no waist. The "she's gained weight" bull shit was a bit much considering, she did not gain that much weight and she was not that small to begin with. They tried to make her seem like she had gained dramatic weight [like London/Anchal] when in reality, she just got chubbier, when she already was chubby. It was clear by final 3 that Keenyah had outperformed Naima and the weight gain was an easy way to give her the boot because she would have DEMOLISHED Kahlen on the runway, despite her pictures not being as strong as Kahlen's.
Demolished? I can't remember how Keenyah walked, but Kahlen was a strong walker since day one, and she looked great on that runway. Outperformed by Naima a teensy bit, but Kahlen didn't fit the stereotypical awkward high fashion girl who can't walk for shit. Regardless, I think Kahlen should've won with Tiffany and Brittany in the F3 with her. Christina and Naima following close by.
^Kahlen was never able to look sexy, at that fashion show it was all about sex appeal. Naima beat her out despite being mediocre in every other area [and in runway in general] because she was able to convey a message of "I'm the hottest thing in the world and everyone on Earth wants me." While Kahlen just kind of walked, she gave no effort in sex appeal, and it wasn't the first time [WonderBra]. Keenyah would have kicked her ass.
I like this shot, it is good, but everyone else either than Keenyah was better than her. This proves to me that at this point, any girl could have won.
