^ I think it's because a lot of people don't care for Samantha the person, her attitude. It's not that she had a bad one but she was eliminated so early that viewers didn't really get a chance to "connect" with her and therefore may assume that she's simply a conservative, timid mouse.They're forgetting to set aside personality and inside focus only on her photos. Personally, I think she's got killer bone structure and has a lot of potential which I find apparent in many of her shots.
She was unerestimated on the show, she is ovbiusly a quiet girl and felt uncomfortable playiing a lesbian and a whore.... (I think thats what she was) I don't know if she would of been much better at posing nude (she might not of wanted to) but just a normal shoot, I thiknk she would have been good.
