Down to 7...

Malaysian Dreamgirl FINALLY has dra-ma flying everywhere and designated Cindy as the show's official "b*tch" for the last few episodes. NOT that I say that she is, but reality shows simply have the tendency of portraying at least one person as the official "b*tch" just to make the show much more interesting to watch. (America's Next Top Model Cycle 10 now has Dominique as the official "b*tch"!) No offense, Cindy, but you do seem to put on some kind of fake accent!

Their White Summer photo shoot was a good change. But it gets annoying when they interviewed EVERY SINGLE girl to ask them how they feel about the shoot and the answers were: "really fun!", "very white, very pure", "I like this photo shoot", "very happy la all of us". It suffices to hear this from a few girls especially since their answers are oh so not original. Seriously.


(Adeline looks absolutely cute but her smile is kinda stuck in the same smile. Love her 1st and 3rd shot but there can definitely be more variations in the shots.)


(I like that this picture showed different sides of Cindy. However, this picture shows that she can be a catalogue model, but anything more, I don't think so.)

One HUGE problem I have with Malaysian Dreamgirl:
"Are the girls really learning how to be a model from this experience?"


(Eyna finally showed the world that she has a fantabulous smile! This picture showed different sides of her--how glamorous she can look even when she's having a good time laughing!)


(Some people do not like this picture of Fiqa that much but I love it! Albeit the 2nd and 4th pic looking similar, the 1st showed her candidness and the 3rd showed her coy shyness...I love it!)

Firstly, it is not shown whether they were receiving directions during the photo shoot. Therefore, we do not know how well each of them takes direction and how well they improvise on their own to take good pictures.
(It's a huge difference whether the good picture had to be "forced" out of them after many many shots or whether they are easily directed or whether they came up with the idea themselves)


(I think I expected more from Hanis for this photo shoot. Yes, the pictures are amazingly beautiful but so is she, so that hardly justifies that she took good model shots. Again, catalogue model-yes, fashion/couture model-I don't know!)


(Jay Jay Jay...very beautiful pictures but all 4 looks are almost the same! Where's the laughing shots? These are all smiling shots! Of course, she looks elegant as ever but where's the laugh in the summer?)

Secondly, the judging panel. Obviously, the votes already came in when Sazzy delivers her comments and announces who is the one being eliminated. But her comments are a tad ~bleah~ and it does not always hit right on the nail. Do the girls actually learn what were their mistakes in the photo and what they actually did right?


(Good Job Nadia! Love the shyness of the 1st shot, the fierceness of the 2nd shot, the relaxedness of the 3rd shot and the candidness of the 4th shot.)


(Some commented that they can't really see Ringo's eyes, maybe because of the eye makeup? But honestly, Ringo can definitely do something about it by not always looking into the camera like the other girls! As always, Ringo looks beautiful--sweet, laughing, approachable--but I expected more from her because her other pictures were gooooood!)

I wish Malaysian Dreamgirl is not purely a popularity contest (because that's what it seems right now!)...

...because guess who got voted out?


Eyna

Shame on you people who only vote for friends/relatives or your favorites without actually considering who can actually be a model and who can't!
(I can't vote because I'm overseas, so there! hmmph!)

Sorry for the late update! I had this fantabulously huge migraine which resulted in me sleeping from 4.30 p.m. yesterday to 7.00 a.m. this morning and I skipped dinner!
