[Recap] Asia's Next Top Model Season 5 (2017) Episode 8: I don't see you as a top model right now

The Girl Who Needs to Grow Up

Shikin finally wins her first best performance. Dorothy and Valerie leave their message with #badgirls and #goodgirls hashtag. Veronika is still sad that Valerie gets eliminated because she knows that Valerie wants it more than her. Shikin does not feel the same with Veronika because she does not see Valerie as a proper model.
Tu says goodbye with the good girls. Cindy feels betrayed with Tu's departure. Clara and Shikin welcome Tu to their room. They change their room name to strong room. They talk about how Maureen does not deserve in Top 6 and Tu has an idea.

The good girls are having conversation in the dining room. Clara suddenly comes to them, sits, and tells Maureen that she does not deserve to be here. Maureen handles it really nicely. Shikin and Tu come and tell Maureen that she does not deserve to be here over some of the eliminated girls. Maureen still keeps her composure and handles it calmly.

Cindy appears on TV. It's go-sees time! The girls have 3 go-sees to go and they will come in pairs: Shikin & Tu, Clara & Veronica, Maureen & Cindy.

Daniel Boey - photoshoot and runway
Daniel considers in booking Tu. Daniel notices Cindy's nervous. Daniel considers booking Maureen for photoshoot. Veronika rocks the look given to her. Daniel feels that Clara's appeal is limited due to her height.

Kevin Seah - masculine suit
Kevin notices Cindy's lack of confident. Maureen realises that she is too short for menswear. Kevin likes her face, but she is not suitable with his stuff. Kevin gets impression of outgoing young girl from Clara, but she is too childish for his liking. Clara thinks Kevin likes her because he says good and good, but Kevin will not book her. Veronika channels rich man and Kevin is very sure to book Veronika. Tu is a bit too feminine for Kevin. Shikin is his top pick.

Commstar TV commercial
The director is very nitpick to the girls. He always asks for more expression and emotion. Cindy seems to be the only one who gets least complaints. She follows the brief and cries naturally.

The girls meet Yu Tsai and Pavan, the director. It turns out that their commercial casting is just to test them under pressure. The girls already expect that. Cindy is disappointed that the commercial does not count because she thinks that she does good in that. Tu is the challenge winner. Her prize is to walk in upcoming fashion show for Daniel Boey.

The girls have their photoshoot right away with Yu Tsai. The theme is bound by love. The girls get ready and see their challenge score.

Shikin feels that she has done enough photoshoot with male model. She wants to portray love hate relationship. She knows what she wants and she shows it. Maureen struggles in the beginning. Yu Tsai asks her to show her what would she see in the magazine with that kind of outfit. After that, Yu Tsai starts to be quiet and Maureen knows that his quietness can be either good or bad.

Clara feels stronger and sexy, but Yu Tsai needs her to interact with the male model. After it ends, Clara asks why it is so fast. Yu Tsai tells her that every one gets the same amount of time, but Clara looks like she is joking and Yu Tsai does not like that. Veronika feels that Valerie should stay longer. It reminds her of Valerie. She wants to portray bad romance, but she feels overwhelmed and she is not as confident as the first three weeks. Tu needs to watch her mouth and change up because she is a bit shy in the beginning.

The girls get drinks in the living room. Cheryl Wee appears on TV to share her tea with the girls to help young women in weight management.
