I chose this photo mainly because I wanted to stand out from the rest of my competitors. But I still feel this is a Covergirl look. Just a reminder that not all Covergirl advertisements are overly happy, not all are looking at the camera. Besides, there's finale is next shoot. If I'm going to go out, I might as well go out with style!~ Now, without any further ado, my picture:

Amanda: This is extremely unique, really. The biggest issue here is that we hardly see your FACE, and CoverGirl shots are about the FACE. That's a really big problem here, though your lips stand out wonderfully because of that vivid red lipstick. The pose is unique and the earring there is great. I'm just not sure if this is the kind of ad we're after... which is unfortunate. You know I'm a fan of yours, and I don't want to see you go.

Uuuuhh... It's for a new generation of ads for lipstick for classy nights out? xP
It's ok, at least if I do go, Amanda, it's out with a bang. It was really a coin toss between one that was incredibly safe, but plain, or something unique. But when it all comes down to it, I think this is the one you will stop at the page and stare at, and remember out of the 5 covergirl ads! ;D

Nicki: Gemma, I'm sorry, but I'm not big on this. You used the same filter as last week, and cover girl shots are normally clear and focus on your face. This doesn't really do either. I think you might be in trouble this week :/

Filter?
It's ok Nicki, I've had a good run.

Does the style of the photo not resemble last week's?
Anyway, don't count yourself out. It's an... interesting week.

I guess it is the same colour of filter, but it's a different style. Don't worry, I'm not counting myself out. I know there's two spots left after Rihanna, who would have no doubt excelled with an actual Covergirl ad for said product. The other two spots I think are anyone's game.

Even if you go now Gemma, All-stars is right around the corner. Seriously, I do think this is unique and memorable and the lipstick is brilliant. This is way better than all three of my lipstick pics (Amanda almost never wears a lot of makeup given how natural she is and I only know of three where she is wearing lipstick)... but at the same time, this isn't what CoverGirl is about. That's the thing that gets us, really... it makes me sad. I want you at the end, I really do. But I have to be fair and honest. I didn't rank you last, at least!

I'm very sorry Amanda, but I don't want to participate in All-stars... At least this time. I don't have enough good photos left to play at my maximum potential... I've let BB know via PM. But I may just be around and lurk next season. I'll definitely be back for Cycle 9. I'll post in my confessional thread what I would've used for my red carpet if I don't make it to final three, you'll see it either way. This was my other option, but I felt it to be too... Awkward. But I probably should've played it, but if I did, I would've felt disappointed in myself for not giving something that really says something about myself. I'd rather be eliminated than be disappointed in myself.

[not part of commentary]Gemma, I seriously think you should give some thought to judging. You seem pretty intelligent and you obviously know a thing or two about how to play these things, so if a spot opens up you should definitely consider it.[/not part of commentary]
Karen: I'm not a fan of the over-the-shoulder look, if only because it's so far removed from what a typical Covergirl shot ought to be. I do, however, like the photo, and it definitely draws attention to the lips, so it's kind of a toss-up for me. Good luck, whatever the outcome.

Actually, one step ahead of you Karen. Haha. I've let BB know if she needs a guest judge, or a fill in for all stars, I'm more than happy to oblige.

BB: Gemma, if you look at the camera, this is so going to be my favorite photo of the week because I really like your style and the lips look wonderful. It's really risky to go with profile for the Covergirl campaign

Aww, I was really looking forward to picking you for All-stars. You have been my favorite this cycle. I wanted to see more... I am with Karen. You should consider judging for all of next season. We probably need someone to replace Nicki since she's in All-stars as Natalie Portman (who I picked for the same reasons I was going to pick you, Gemma - especially the risk-taking) and last I heard she was playing if we could get another judge. Really. Do it. (Nicki, feel free to yell at me if you changed your mind) And Gemma, you really do seem like you would fit in just fine with us. If you have AIM, maybe we can talk sometime? As for your other picture, it is definitely better for CoverGirl but overall it is less memorable. I would have ranked that one spot lower than I did the one you posted but I can't speak for the others. Especially Matt. Speaking of Matt, where the hell is he?

Matt: I was really pulling fro you. THis would have been a good shoot but not for covergirl. I do have the say the lipstick stands out but i want to see all of your face.

I am playing next season as Natalie, and as much as I'd like to play AND judge, I don't think BB will let that fly. I think Gemma would be a prefect judge for All-Stars!
