She looks like a zombie, I hate her....I'm so pissed that she got to the final 3!

This is actually really good. It's a shame she only got good at the end of her shoot.

Ok i hate sam but i love her pose here.I hate her face but i love that she is different and weird.I hate her personality and most of all i hate that she make it to top3 while there was more potential girls like ELINA AND LB

I love this picture but Samantha doesn't look like a model at all, she didn't deserve to be in the final 3

This is a good shot, but Sam deserved to go home. She's not at the level of Mckey and Analeigh, and definitely NOT at the level of Marjorie. I prefer girls that are high fashion looking, Sam is just to California looking, however she photographs well. But most designers book girls on their looks and shes too commercial. She better not win!

I wish Lauren Brie was in her place. She could have bounced back because we all know THAT WEEK was Sam's week to go! I mean she looked like a melodramatic opera singer!

It's a good shot, but watching her shoot was miserable.

poor sam...she's such a sweetie just not top model...she's so gone next week. hope she does well after the competition.

i like the pose. the face is a little to weak for me

Sam always tried so hard and got very often a good picture but this is boring.

i actually like sam. i feel her struggle, because she works her butt off to not come off commercial. she's not like mckey who gets props and praise handed to her on a regular basis for the same mediocre photo. not once have i seen sam look commercial in a photo, and she's as commercial as they get. that's a skill. i wouldn't mind sam winning, but i feel analeigh has had the biggest struggle of all and has overcome it, so therefore, she should win. mckey looks dead and tyra, nigel, paulina, and miss jay do everything short of staging an orgasm. (noticed i said STAGING. THEY'RE ABOUT AS REAL AS WHITNEY'S GOOD WISHES.)

That's a good shot. However, Samantha only has one fierce face. To keep her over Marjorie was a big mistake. I still like her though. I want Samantha to finish in third place. That's the most she deserves.

not to be rude at all, but does Sam have jaundice? because her complexion comes off very yellow at times, the first time i saw this was in the bathing suit photo, and i thought it was the makeup. Im not trying to make fun of her, because I had jaundice as a child, just wondering.

i see what you mean with the yellow (especially in the swimsuit photo) but i'm pretty sure she doesn't. don't forget the other symptom. yellow in the whites of the eyes. plus at panel she always looks generally peach. maybe she's got some simpson's in her blood? LOL! ok ignore that last one.

in Sam's very own words, "Dude...I sucked....really bad.." lol.. j/k this pic isn't bad, but the shoot was. she has a very funny personality that I really like, so I wouldn't mind if a girl like her won..I'm just in love with Analeigh

I really love Sam, and I have throughout the competition. I know a lot of people feel that she's not deserving of the final three but imo she's earned her spot as have Analeigh and Mckey. Marjorie was also a fave of mine throughout the competition but I guess her elimination was justified, her and Sam were neck and neck this week. With that being said, I think we've got one of the best top three we've ever had. And I love this photo, 2nd after Analeigh.

Agree with Starfish, Sam has the same problem as Elina - only one facial expression that she seems to fall back on, and it doesn't always work. This photo's not bad, either, but it's not my favourite. She's leaning in towards the camera and it's making her look short. She should've probably gone home. But I still like her. I like all the final three, even if they're not who I would've picked (I'd have gone with Analeigh, Marj, and EITHER McKey or Lauren Brie).

I agree, longtimefan. This is one of the best final threes we've had on ANTM - right up alongside cycle 2. Incidentally, the final four of both cycles filled similar roles IMO:

April/Analeigh - naturally good all-rounders. April's one weakness was her stance when speaking/presenting, Ana's is the naturally Victoria's Secret look of her face and body.

Shandi/Marjorie - awkward girls who prove surprisingly fierce in front of the camera.

Mercedes/Samantha - cute, commercial girls with funny, slightly goofy personalities. Sam's maybe a bit more naive, though.

Yoanna/McKey - decent girls who get an edge because of how strong their faces are.

what's wrong with her left arm???she looks like she's falling....weakest shot

I completely get what your saying atomicblue. Interestingly enough Cycle 2 and Cycle 11 are two of my fave cycles, if not, my top two!
