I think it really works in that, as Paulina says, "heroin-chic" look. Sure, she doesn't look strong, but her expression is much better than Chantal's (stupid), Bianca's (amateur), Ambreal's (just all wrong), or Victoria's (uncomfortable).
I'm thrown off by the glans hair, which I must admit kind of tulip-y here and the look in her eyes that suggests she hadn't slept a wink for weeks. She looks like a tulip zombie to me here.
ETA: @RunFiercely. I don't remember Paulina being in the panel for Cycle 9.
@Michelle&AmandaBabin: Now you've added another horrid image in addition to what's already going on in my head.
^^It's not one of her better shots but it's not awful. Very mediocre but not hideous. Again, she was bottom 3 shots of the week though, only Victoria and Chantal's were worse.
I was kidding And tbh I don't hate this picture, I don't like it but people are calling it the worst in ANTM history, I can think of worse. Though it is strange to see a positive comment under this picture.

^I don't get why people don't like it tbh. Not all pictures need life in the eyes. In fact, I think it would be worse without it. For me, this is def. mag material and I would stop at the page to look at it.
Bryan, I know we talked about it before, but I feel like you have uncommon opinions for the sake of being different. I'm not flaming or anything, just stating what I think.
