| The Girl Who Wins It All |
Hi guys, it has been a while since my latest post. Yeah, I am doing it on purpose. Honestly, I lost my faith in this season from the questionable eliminations, the postponed episodes until the unfortunate of MH370. This season started quite strong, but it finished weak. However, I thought that I need to end this seasonal recap, but I am doing it in different way. There will no full and detailed recap, but I am giving more of perspective of this season. Enjoy !
Jodilly
Pros : Jodilly has the body and the height. She is also the tallest Top 3 girl. She fits for the runway because of her height and great walk. She proves that she has a great walk in the first challenge and the final runway. She is also a great poser. She gives variation in term of poses. She is not afraid to jump and do different things to get the shot.
She is nearly a complete package, but ...
Cons : She needs to learn more about her face and expression. She has no strongest facial feature like Josephine's cheekbones. Sometimes, no matter how great her pose is, her face ruins it. For the example is my least favorit photo of Jodilly. It is her Pangkor Laut. Her body shapes a great pose and accentuates her great body shapes, but her duck face downgrades the photo.
Katarina
Pros : Katarina is indeed one of the most beautiful girls in the house. Her face is so pretty. That is one of the factors why she is still in the competition. Her beautiful face is complemented by her improvement. She has improved, a lot.
Her progress is the most significant, but ...
Cons : It is because she is the weakest girl in the bunch. She went too far than she should have been. More than half of her portfolio is an elimination worthy, Her portfolio is way weaker than Marie, Nicole, and Josephine. The funny thing is no matter how the judges hate her photos, she is always saved from the bottom of the pack.

She is undoubtedly a pretty girl next door and a bombshell. She is great for commercial and acting work involved, but not for an editorial or high fashion shot. She needs to work out more to tone her body. Her height is also considered short for international market, especially the winner of Asia's Next Top Model will get a contract with Storm Models London.
Sheena
Pros : You can notice Sheena from the crowd. Her blonde hair makes her stand out from the usual black and brunette haired Asian girls. Sheena also delivers a great and consistent performance in the whole competition.
She proves that she is versatile in various photoshoots and even runway, but ...
Cons : What if you dye Sheena's hair to black or brunette ? She will be another pedestrian girl that you can find in the malls. Her consistency is also a problem, at least for me. She delivers great photos, but she never delivered a kick-ass photo. She is also portrayed to have a declining performance in the last few weeks. She also has an issue that she gives the same face over and over. She gives a painful ugly-ugly face in the last few crucial photoshoots.
If I have to choose, I will pick Sheena as the winner, but my gut says Jodilly. Jodilly is portrayed as a poor girl who wants it so bad and cries, cries, and cries. She gets a winner edit for me.
So, who will be the winner ?
Will it be Jodilly who has an almost complete package, except her face ?
Or will it be Katarina who is very pretty, but too commercial and more to an actress than a model ?
Or will it be Sheena who is very consistent, but suddenly declining ?
The winner of Asia's Next Top Model is ...
Do you agree with the decision ? Who do you think, want, and should win ? Sound off below :)
I know this decision will be a controversial one considering Malaysia where Sheena comes from is the host country and one of the main sponsor. The fans who do not cherish Sheena will think her winning planned and many bad things more.
The final episode feel flat. There was no feeling of the climax of the finale. The deliberation was not intense at all. The double judging and changing the guest judges looks unprepared. If they want to eliminate a girl based on the photoshoot, why do not they do it immediately after the photoshoot and before final runway like ANTM always does ? The final runway is also an anti-climax. I did not feel the drive, the finale feeling, and the dramatic walk like Jessica did on the final runway of last season. It feels like as it is just another unimportant challenge or introducing the contestants.
The judges also did not fight at all for the winner. They did not dig deeply about the girls' performance for the entire competition. They just talked, not even discussed, general summary of the girls' performance. It is such a disappointing episode to end this season. I have lost my faith in this season long time ago, so I was not that disappointed. What do you guys think about the final episode and this season as a whole ? Sound off below :)
