WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. PHOTOS ADDED. VIDEO OF GIRLS’ SUBARU COMMERCIALS ADDED.
Last time on Asia’s Next Top Model, the girls learned mixed martial arts and aerial. Barbara won the challenge and got a relaxing spa day with Gani. Tensions rose between Team Tahlia and Team Monika. For the photo shoot, the girls wore Alex Perry dresses while suspended in the air. Amanda won Best Photo, while after getting Best Photo the previous week, Tahlia was eliminated from the competition. Who will glide and who will drag this week? Gotta stay on top.
Barbara and Gani are super sad and upset that Tahlia has left. Tahlia left a sweet message to the two girls, then promised each other that they will make Top 3.
Georgina Mail! All hands on deck. The girls are going to the port of Singapore. When they arrive at the cruise ship Mariner of the Sea, the girls are handed a clue. They have to find Joey & Alex on the ship. The girls have a runway challenge.
Challenge: Runway
The girls need to walk the runway with 3 different walks showcasing 3 different looks. But the challenge: they are only given under a minute to change into the clothes. Both Aimee and Gani impressed the judges. However, they wanted more versatility with Gani’s walks. Amanda doesn’t have much experience with runway, and it shows. She failed to make the 2nd look. Monika had great runway walks, but failed to finish her 3rd look. She went out with one shoe missing and her top worn the wrong way. LOL! Barbara nailed the 3 looks and gave different walks to suit the styles.
Winner: Aimee
Aimee gets to have a mentor session with Indonesian model, TV presenter and pastry chef, Farah Quinn.
Back home, Gani and Barbara discuss how Amanda is Alex Perry’s favorite. Amanda didn’t do well at the challenge, so they feel that Alex can’t help her this week. Gani feels that Amanda is the next one to go.
Working in this industry, you’re exposed to so many amazing beautiful things. So enjoy, but don’t get carried away, because all of this can get taken away from you. – Farah Quinn’s advice to Aimee on staying humble
Georgina Mail! Motion editorial! TV commercial! Modelling is more than just runways and photos.
Shoot: Motion Editorial for Subaru
Alex Perry is at the shoot to mentor the girls. Peter Wery is the director of the shoot. The girls shoot two scenes, and the girls have lines! The first scene is them at their hobby or work, and the second is them getting into their Subaru Forester car to continue the rest of their day.
Aimee is playing a business woman. Her second scene went better than her first. Gani is playing an architect. This is her first motion editorial! She had problems focusing and showing expression on her face. Barbara is acting as a baker. She does not know how to bake, and it shows in how tentative she is working the props.
Amanda does have experience playing tennis. But she was so focused on throwing the ball the right way, that she forgot expression. Monika is playing a yogi! They got the shots pretty quickly.
Deliberation
The judges this week are Joey, Alex, Georgina, and returning guest judge Glenn Tan. First up is Gani. “It’s not a bad video, but you’re definitely better in print.” Glenn wanted more confidence and assertiveness. Barbara looked comfortable in front of the camera, being experienced with commercials. She has everything going for her, but lacks the edge. Aimee impressed the judges, portraying the CEO well. Georgina and Joey liked Amanda’s video, but Alex was underwhelmed. Glenn Tan did not see tennis coach in her portrayal at all. Monika impressed all of the judges. The judges thought that she did the brief well. Aimee and Monika could be fighting for the top spot this week.
We need to think about the bigger picture – not only the motion editorial but also their place in the competition because one of these girls will become Asia’s Next Top Model. – Georgina
Gani wasn’t the worst but wasn’t the best. Alex Perry is worried that her height would be a problem. Barbara is good, but a pretty safe choice, given her years of experience. Aimee and Monika gets great reviews from the judges. Amanda still does not show the same maturity as the other girls, and that poses a problem in her future in the modelling industry.
Call Out Order

Bottom 2: Barbara and Amanda
