Ep. 5 - Decision Dilemma!

Things are getting increasingly tough.  So much potential in all these remaining girls... But so hard to project just who's going to be able to pull it all together before the end of the competition.  I'm really concerned about the gorgeous Cori.  She's such a doll ... so beautiful. But I'd hate to throw her into that fashion "snake-pit"!  It really can be brutal and heartless sometimes, and she seems so vulnerable and meek.  Not sure if she's going to be able to pump it up sufficiently in the remaining weeks.  Then there's the fabulous Mo---soooo smart and sooooo sweet.  And beautiful to, to be sure.  But is her frame really the kind of frame that could make it in the world of high fashion?  She looks a little too athletic to me.  A great body, to be sure.  But if we're really looking for an ALL ‘ROUND girl—one who can do beauty shoots, as well as high fashion runway---and even couture--does Mo really stand a chance?  I'm loving Rebecca, though it might be hard for most North Americans to really "get" her edgy look.  Still, I think she transforms sooooo wonderfully well in pictures.  Then there's the lovely Sinead.  She'd make SUCH a great beauty model, though she claims it's the artsy stuff that she yearns to do.  I also don't think her body is right for high fashion... She's really not tall enough (despite the fact that Kate Moss did make it... but she was a fluke!) and she really doesn't take command of the runway.  Now there's Tara---a glamazon, to be sure.  But besides her amazing body, and rather strong runway presence, is she "memorable" enough?  Is her face striking enough, as beautiful as she is?  And what about the enigmatic Tia?  I love her look---so quirky.  But I wonder if her attitude might work against her a tad.  Still, I do love her personality.  What a character!  I can really see her in the fashion world.  But it's so hard to know what these girls are REALLY like when they're NOT standing before us.  Is anyone too flakey to really make it?  Are they all truly passionate about the business?  We judges can't see what goes on at the house.  That would really help us in so many ways... But c'est la vie.  We have to look carefully at who really doesn't seem to be TOP model material...even though they may have a decent modeling career eventually...  Hmmmm... I'm afraid Mo might have to go, as much as we all love her.  I hate this!  I just hope she keeps believing in herself, because she really is an amazing girl... there's soooo much she could do in the fashion world.  Actually, I hope all our girls realize this.  Modeling is only one very small part of fashion's big picture...
