1107: Signature Pose Challenge

Funny how this week the strongest and weakest in the challenge and in the final shoot were the same.

Analeigh's signature pose was being an "ice skater"; after her review with Tyra, she modified that to being a "rebel ice skater." Tyra gave her final shot a "7."


McKey started out with an "over-the-shoulder" signature pose, but then changed it to being a "boxer." Tyra said McKey's strength was her neck.


Samantha's signature pose was her "hands"; after her final shot, Tyra complimented her with a "There you go!"


Lauren Brie didn't know what her signature was, just that it was some sort of "awkwardness." After posing as a bored Egyptian and an amputee, Tyra chose "surfer chick" for her. Her final shot was okay, but Tyra was pulling her teeth for each pose. Her poses were empty.


Sheena started out as "divaesque" and "not hoochie," but her shot was too catalog. Tyra then told this flava girl that she should try out "cultural dance."


Joslyn got the editing snub this week, as no close-ups of her "before" shot was posted. She couldn't think of a signature pose; she said, "I like to pose kind of wide," as McKey snickered in the corner. Tyra figured out that Joslyn had a great profile, though, so that became her signature.


I'm not sure what exactly "top model of the world" translates into when it comes to posing, but that's what Elina chose.


Marjorie converted a literal "hunchback of Notre Dame" to a more modelly version and won the challenge. Way to bring out the French awkwardness.
