Spring Break
Too soon to pick 'Top Model' winner
Diana Palka
Issue date: 3/25/09 Section: A & E
Last week's "New York's Finest" photo shoot was a team effort that proved to be a challenge for some of the "America's Next Top Model" contestants.
The girls did their best to accommodate to an unsettling feat: sharing a photo with a competitor.
Foes Tahlia and Natalie were forced to work together (along with Teyona) in a less-than-impressive photo, posing as Times Square tourists. The two managed to put their differences aside and get through the shoot, yet their "best efforts" produced a corny shot, weighed down by Natalie's failure to perform.
It was a shocker that the photo that took first place was Sandra and Celia's "New York Nannies" shot.
It lacked life and any sort of model-like traits that art director Jay Manuel has been drilling into the girls since day one.
On the other hand, Aminat and Fo's photo was Top 15 in "Top Model" history and was awarded a measly second place.
Allison and Nijah were in the bottom two after they were given the easiest theme - "Upper East Side Socialites" - and still couldn't impress the judges. Allison stayed on and was told not to rely on her bug-like eyes to get her by, but not exactly in those words.
Natalie's challenge victory was a hard pill to swallow. Her snobby non-made-over personality is unbearable and unattractive.
And while I hate to be hateful, I was relieved to hear her negative critique at panel after she neglected to come through in the photo shoot.
As much as I dislike the girl, it's undeniable that she is the most modelesque girl so far. Perhaps it was just had a bad shoot.
It's impossible for me to pick a favorite this early in the cycle, but I can narrow it down to three: Fo, Kortnie and London.
Who needs to go? Sandra. She's quickly turning into cycle six's Jade and it literally makes me want to punch someone in the face.
In tonight's episode, the girls will meet Toccara of cycle three and have a pose-off in front of "vogue king" Benny Ninja. The photo shoot will be at the mouth of New York's Hudson River on historic Ellis Island and as the tension builds, the drama is sure to blow.

It wasn't right - you forget to post the photo of the winner-girl!
