Natalie is up first for evaluation. Miss J. says that Natalie does stand out more than Ciara in her photo. Paulina, however, thinks that when you get close up the face gets a little frightening. Mike says that Natalie struggled at first, but once he told her to snarl she let them have it. Tyra thinks Natalie's photo is stunning and fabulous, but she still needs to step out of her comfort zone and be more present in her face. Aminat is next. Tyra says with some surprise that Aminat looks cute today. What is not so cute, however, is her photo. Nigel says she looks bewildered and like she just fell over. Paulina agrees, saying that Aminat looks like she's reclining on a couch. Miss J. suggests that she take two cups of crazy and a pinch of insane the next time she has to portray an obsessed fan. Tyra agrees with the other judges, and says that she seemed lost and not understanding how her body relates to the camera. She was as bad as one of the losers who got sent home in the early weeks. This is not good news for Aminat.
Next up is Celia. She looks fabulous as always. Tyra wonders if Celia packed 12 fierce outfits for 12 weeks of Top Model, and Celia promises that she's got more. Her photo pops up and before the judges can even speak Celia says that she likes it. This is a first, and Nigel thinks it's brilliant. He tells her that her shot is not classically pretty, but works very well. Tyra loves that Celia looks like a crazy fan who wants to be famous herself. That sounds like a familiar motif. Teyona is up next, and Tyra proclaims that her photo is "may-jah." Nigel comments on her voluptuous breast, which cracks the other judges up. Paulina thinks that Teyona looks -- how do you say? -- fierce. Mike says that of all the girls Teyona had the best understanding of how to relate to the environment and situation. She was acting like a rabid fan, and kept it fierce and fabulous.
