2nd Elimination

Hey dollies!
I know you had to wait for a while, but there were some problems... one contestant quit, two other contestants never sent in their work and I'm going through a tough time right now. This means that there won't be an elimination, just feed-back.
This is like ... a disaster! I'm really upset that this happened and I really hope this was the last time!!!
Please, I beg all the contestants to check the blog regulary and to be punctual!! I don't want to go form guestbook to guestbook and remind everyone about doing the task. It's ridiculous. Anyway, as there are only 11 contestants left, I decided to do a replacement. So let's welcome back Anika Rose AKA Hartbreaker.
Let's have a look at the results.

Danika_19

I really like that outfit. It looks like a thai dress with Indian/Bollywood influences. Jasmin said that this photo is one of her favorites. I have to say that's it is a bit overwhelming though. I also would have been glad if you did a pose. But all in one, this photo turned out pretty good. Next time please do a pose! So yeah, well done! ;)

claragoosmann19

I have to say this might be one of the best photos! I love what you did in this scenery. I love the background and look of your doll. Maria and Marie said your photo is one of the best, Marie especially liked how everything seemed so easygoing. Great job!

Depi2



This is a very interesting photo. I like the effects and the quality of the picture. But I'm a little disappointed because I don't see much of your doll and there's no pose. The background is somehow a mix of Turkey, Arabia, India and a bit of Thailand - it looks like One Thousands and One Nights. Haha! Well done!

ExtravaganceSD

Omg this is like ... perfect?! I love it, I simply love it. I love the complex background and I really looove your outfit! It all looks so amazing that I nearly didn't notice that you didn't do a pose, haha. But I really like the fact that you didn't pose, it somehow looks better this way. I see you put a LOT of effort in this scenery. Jasmin, Maria and Marie also thought that this is amazing! Well done Nora, keep up the good work ;)

Jody_Cailin

Mhmm... well it is not the best piece of work. But it's still good although the photo seems to be more influenced by India and Turkey than Thailand. Next time please include a pose and try to create something really outstanding, I don't want you to blend into the crowd.

Daddysgurrl

Wow, I actually didn't expect such a great picture from you! I love the colors, I love the dress ... but I'm quite disappointed that you neither did a background nor a pose. Next time please try to do a pose and don't forget about a background. Nevertheless Maria said that you were actually one of the best this time! I see a lot of potential in you, Cat! ;)

MandaMichalka

You are actually the first one who did a (simple) pose, haha! This is a really great picture, I really like the sunset and the look of your doll. I actually would love to go there on vacation and enjoy the sunset myself. Marie said that this is one of her favorite photos. And Maria even mentioned that you were the best for her! Very well done!

Ask510



I'm sorry but this isn't good in any way! I'm very disappointed because I feel like you can do much more. It's nice that you at least tried to do a pose. The outfit is 'okay' and the background seems a little odd. I really hope you can convince us in the next round!

PrettiestWoman

This picture isn't bad, but I don't like it that much. The outfit looks more like safari and you didn't include a pose. If you aren't able to pose in a scenery you can also edit it with a graphic program. It would be quite helpful if you already start practicing as there will be more tasks in the future where you have to use a graphic program. I hope you can stand out next time!

Flowerpin



The first thing I notice is that the background is blurry, but I guess you wanted to focus on the medoll which is a very clever idea. Nevertheless I have to say that this photo is too ordinary. We can't see the whole doll and there's no pose. But I really LOVE the jewelry as well as the make-up. I feel there's a lot of potential in you, I hope you can create something outstanding at the next challenge!

Inessa...

You know I never knew that there are two moons. Haha! The background is quite okay, it is like a mix of Thailand, India and Arabia. I like the clothes and especially the jewelry you have used. Yeah, there isn't much to say about it. In fact it's a bit average. And neither you nor the other model did a pose. But the more important thing is of course your doll because YOU want to become RNTM and not the girl in the back. xD

I hope you can do better next time!

Hartbreaker

Welcome back, Anika. I really like your outfit, it's something different. It's very sexy and I love the jewelry. The backround is also very interesting, it's like Thailand with Arabian and Indian influences. A pose would have been good though. So I hope you can keep up the good work and improve ;)

Alright, it looks like in this cycle we will have 12 contestants instead of 13. This is the list of the Top 12 in alphabethical order:

Ask510

Before I will bring this elimination ceremony to an end, it's time to choose our first winner of the week!

The 3 best entries this week were MandaMichalka, ExtravaganceSD and Claragoosmann19. But who of you did it best? *drum rolls* Our first winner of the week is ......... EXTRAVAGANCESD!!!

Congratulations! We think that your task was the best this time. And we already have a very special prize for you! You will be modeling for an advertisement for Spice Couture that will be published tomorrow in Haute Magazine. (The ad will be added to the premier issue as soon as I get the graphic done, probably in the next few hours.)

The next challenge will be posted tomorrow! Stay tuned.

Task 1 Results

Hello everyone!
Welcome to the first elimination ceremony of Cycle 5. Sorry for one day of delay but I had no time to post sooner.
Anyway, the first task was in fact very simple. The reason why we just wanted you to create an outfit is because we wanted to get more familiar with your style and your self-expression. We really received some strong entries. I think this cycle will be tough for us judges because we've really got a set of beautiful and talented dollies.
By the way, as you might know I've never really showed the contestant's entries in elimination ceremonies until the semi-finals. But from now on I will post the entries and photos in every elimination ceremony!! Whoop :D
For this task I'm judging all alone, but the other judges will join at the next task. So let's have a look at the results, shall we?

Danika_19 

Wow, our contestants really know how to dress and how to present their style! Everybody did a great job.

So basically I said that you should do the outfit in the starplaza which some of you didn't do, but never mind. *cough* Jody and Cayla *cough*

For the callbacks I'm usually not giving feed-back, but this time I felt like I need to give some..

mullinsisme - Wow, this outfit somehow electrifies me, haha. It gives you a feeling of the 80's because of the jacket, but it also looks very modern because of the other pieces. I really love this mix of 80's and modern style. The make-up really matches the outfit and I love the colors and shades you've used. Next time I'd suggest that you should use less blush and keep the lips simple though because otherwise it is a bit overwhelming.

PrettiestWoman - You said that you like mixing different colors together, and I really can see that in your make-up. The outfit seems like a big colorfull painting, haha! The only thing that I don't like are the shoes, they look odd and I don't think that they really match the overall look.

Aurelieke92 - This is soo completely you! I've been visiting you from time to time and I really can say that I recognize your style. I especially love how your focused on the trousers by keeping the rest of the outfit quite simple. I really like your text. I know you are a strong writer and you proved that once again. The make-up is definitely representing you and matches the outfit, but I feel like you could have used different colors like blue instead of earth colors. For the next make-up task I'd really like you to step out of your comfort zone and try new tones and shades. Well done Manny!

ask510 - I really like the simplicity of your outfit and I love maxi skirt. I see the make-up is also kept simple as the outfit. Red lips and smokey eyes - classic!! Well done ;)

claragoosmann19 - Welcome back, Clara! I remember that you were in the Top 20 of Cycle 2, but you didn't make it through the callbacks. So, that's your second chance and you really rocked the stage! Your outfit is sooo classy, modern and sophisticated. I absolutely adore your style. Me gusta!

Inessa... - This is definitely your style. I agree with you (or what you wrote in the text), you're not a color-explosion. But you don't have to be a color-explosion to stand out of the crowd. Your outfit is definitely trendy and everything flows very well. I somehow don't like your make-up, I think it's too dark and a little slutty (sorry for that word, but it's the ugly truth). Next time you should play and experiment with more colors and shades. Nevertheless, good job!

Daddysgurrl - When I saw your task entry I thought that you're a Californian high school girl, haha. I like your outfit, it's comfortable and sporty but still elegant. The make-up reminds me a little bit of a barbie. It's pretty and it matches the outfit, but next time I'd like you to use different colors and less pink. Well done Cat! :)

Depi2 - Wow, I love it. It's simple but still something special and very edgy. I think this outfit really fits your look, it's casual and edgy. The make-up matches the outfit because it's also edgy even though it's not much. Great job!

Ghandoora - "I'm a barbie girl ..." Haha, that's a very pink outfit. I like it, I think it represents your style and your personality. This is something that you can wear on the streets on a warm summer day or on the beach. But next time I'd like to see less pink, tough ;)

MadaMichalka - Oh yesss, this is street fashion. I looove the make-up and how you played with different shades. I also like your little paragraph, I think it explains your style very well. What I really like about your outfit is the mix of casual/cool (top, bag, shorts), edgy (shoes) and girly (flower headpiece). Manda, you've done a great job!

Sary.Babyfayce - Wow, that outfit is very edgy and fashionable. I can actually see this in a fashion magazine like VOGUE. This is really high fashion! For the make-up I'd like you to use more colors though because it's a big plain. All in one I only can say "well done". :)

Jody_Cailin - To be honest I'm a bit disappointed because I don't feel like this is your personal style that you wear on the streets. I like the outfit itself tough, reminds me a bit of Lady Gaga. What I really LOVE is your make-up. It's flawless!! So you've created an amazing outfit, but next time please try more to follow the given instructions.

ExtravaganceSD - Wow, I love it. It looks comfortable, fashionable, elegant and also a little bit extravagant. Everything is matching and yeah.. there's not much to say about it, it's simply perfect! ;) 

Flowerpin - What can I say? This outfit is very girly, haha! No, I actually really like it, especially the ombre of the trousers & bow. I love the make-up, it's very playful, detailed and sparkly. I also like your text, you explained everything very well. So yeah, well done!

Danika_19 - OMG! Is it a hollywood Diva?! No, it's Kylie! Wow, I really love that kinda vintage/old hollywood look. This outfit would be perfect for a day on the beach and the hat completes the look. I especially love how you made dramatic smokey eyes and red lips. Aaah, awesome job Kylie!!  

Uff, finally done. This actually took me an hour to find appropriate words for everybody. Oh wait a minute, have you noticed something? Hmm, that is strange, I thought 20 girls have been chosen to compete in Cycle 5. Let's check this by counting the entries. 1, 2, 3, ... 15?! Oh, looks like there were some lazy people who forgot about the task.
5 people didn't send in the task which means that Bracken1234, Hartbreaker, Lizzy1414, MissyAshlyn and soso-asooly are eliminated! This also means that no one else will be eliminated.

Congratulations to our remaining 15 girls! Soon we'll be reaching the Top 13, so give your best. The next task will be posted tomorrow. Stay tuned ;)


UPDATE!!
Sadly, Manny (Aurelieke92) decided to leave Stardoll and can no longer compete in this contest. I noticed that when I saw her comment on my last post. A goodbye-post can be seen on MDM.
Manny, we wish you all the best for your future, you will be missed!!!
This means there are only 14 contestants left, therefore we will decide for the TOP 13 at the next challenge!

6th Challenge - Results

Hey guys! So the deadline is being over, and we got your tasks. So we will have a look at it and decide who will still have the chance to become "Rafael's Next Top Model". You all did an amazing job, and it is really hard to decide for the winner of the week. But we can already tell you, one of the best were...
4EverUrGirl, BellaCullen4210, __mariah__ & TottalyCool68! You 4 were amazing, but we still don't have a clue who should be the winner, so we 3 gotta sleep over it.
@ Sweet-Lips112 and JuicyC2890: You really improved your work, but you 2 are still the bottom 2. So we can already tell you that one of you is going to be eliminated.

Tomorrow at the elimination ceremony we will unravel the mystery and tell you, who will be the winner of the week, who will be in the next round and who is going to leave the contest. Stay tuned!!!

5th Elimination

Sorry for posting the elimination so late, but I'm sooo busy in Real Life. (:

I don't know what it is. At the beginning of the cycle everything seemed to be like better than ever. Everybody was punctual and we had a hudge audience. But now...
I don't know what it is but many contestants are soo late when doing the tasks and I'm just tired of reminding and reminding. Also, the amount of persons that drop the competition is also hudge! It's not how I wanted everything to be. But let's face it: It's summer, everybody wanted to enjoy the holidays and now everybody is preparing for school. So that's why Cycle 2 was so awesome, because in winter everybody had more time. Maybe I should hold every cycle in Winter/Spring. Because summer is when you go on vacation and Autumn is when it's time for Topmodels.Club's "Miss Autumn". But now let's go on with the elimination ceremony.
As you might know from the club, also sparklewand12 left! - no comment -

.anti.dot.: You were very late with your task, but I totally understand it because of the earthquake on the East Coast of America. So that's why we give you another chance. Congratulations, you are in the next round.
BellaCullen4210: Not your best work. But it was quite good. It would've been the best of all sceneries, but... I didn't like your pose, your arm was like too short. I hope I will see some stunning work again next week. Congratulations, your in the next round! :)
JuicyC2890: Well, it was... I don't know, I think that your scenery was quite nice. In fact it was better than last week. But the quality of your photo was awful. And it was too dark to my mind. Also, I noticed that it isn't a scenery, I think you used a graphic programm and I didn't say it should be a graphic. Sorry Mandy, but this is our last warning. If you do not bring creative, outstanding tasks with high quality you'll be eliminated. I belive in your talent, please convince me and the judges!
__mariah__: Could be better, could be real better. But the idea of taking your dog with the bike was nice. So we've decided to let you through :D
megan20012: Megan... Your idea with taking the dog to shopping was good. But I think that the dog was just an accessoire, not the main thing. Also, the other judges thought that you missed the theme as it was just about shopping, not posing with a pet. To my mind I think you didn't miss the theme, but the dog was really just an accessoire! So we all decided to... give you on more chance. Please also try to pose! See in the next round.
QeenGoldBabe: EXCELLENT! Stunning as always! All 3 judges think you have that special talent. You did it right girl, you're in the next round! But next time also try to work on your pose ;)
Sweet-Lips112: The scenery was... what am I saying? That was NO scenery, that was a graphic. I didn't say you may use a graphic programm. I don't think it's fair to the others. To be honest, I really like your photo, if it was a scenery then you'd be the winner of the week. But when I talked to the other 2, Marie told me your work was average through the whole competition. And you know that being average is death for the developement of every model! Sorry, this is also your last chance! Good luck in the next round.
TottalyCool68: That was totally cool. No really that was really good. I liked it. Congratulations you're in the next round.
4EverUrGirl: I never thought that you would every surprise us with such a scenery! Your pose, your backround, everything was stunning! And you also looked gorgeous, like a celebrity. And I think it would be fair if I crown you the WINNER OF THE WEEK! Congratulations. Tomorrow, when I announce the next task, I will also announce your prize. :D
ladygagaHope: *looks at her seriously*
Your... task... was... missing! I am really really really sorry but you didn't do the task, and that's why I have to eliminate you! I am really sorry! :(

See you tomorrow for the next challenge. xoxo Rafael

Results of Task 4!

Hey guys! Today's monay, usually there should be a new task, but today there won't even be an elimination ceremony. Why? Well, right now I am on vacation, so I didn't have much time to check the entries, and today I found out that there are still 2 people missing, namely QeenGoldBabe and LoveGossip4Life!

So I will just post the first results...
First of all, Missalrashdan decided to leave RNTM because she is going on vacation. We wish her all the best for her future.
For now I won't choose a winner of the week because I only do it when there are all entries. Now, the judges and me had a look at your work and most of it was real good!
Who I liked best was 4EverUrGirl and BellaCullen4210! You really did outstanding work and it really looked super. Especially Bella, your pose, your style, it was all very creative. Keep going like this!
sparklewand12: Your idea was very funny, but you looked more like a beach babe than a fairy. Maybe it was because you wore a bikini or you had no wings, this time it was more creative than outstanding. Please keep working on that. You are in the next round :)
ladygagaHope & Sweet-Lips112: Your sceneries were kept very simple, also a little boring, nevertheless it were nice pictures. You both should practice on your posing skills and the creativity. Next time I want you to do outstanding work, welcome in the next round! :)
TotallyCool68 & __mariah__: You both did beautiful sceneries. The only critisism is that they seemed a little messy! Please watch out and work careful, and practice on your posing skills. But me and also the other 2 judges think that you can do more than that. Welcome in the next round :D
.Anti.Dot.: I must say, your scenery was very boring, there was nothing special about it. But as all 3 judges think that you have potential, you are in the next round. You can be glad that you were last week's winner, otherwise you would have been eliminated. Come on girl, show us your talent!

Now I need to say, there are 2 girls who were too average for this competition..
JuicyC2890 and megan20012! Mandy, your scenery was confusing. That was no fairy, that was just an ordinary girl holding her hand into the water. Megan, your scenery was boring, but you did a nice backround, which won't help you much, but at least it's something...

For now, megan20012 is in the next round! JuicyC2890, you will have to wait until tomorrow for the judge's final decision. There's still hope for you to keep fighting for the title!
So, see ya tomorrow for Part 2 of the Elimination Ceremony.

First Result of the 6th Challenge

Hey, today there will be NO elimination, because more than the half of the contestants couldn't do the task (well, there are easter holidays, I hadn't got much time either). In fact, only 4 did it. :(
So we will split the decission into two.

First part:
The ones who did the task did an excellent job.. well, nearly everyone. :-/
So, the ones who are safe and will be in the next round are...
N.E.S.S.Y.X.D. (Your photo was brilliant)
Vivien.. (I enjoyed yours very much, too. The backround was super!)

The other persons who did the scenery were angix33 and maleen122, but I need to say that your sceneries were not the best. Why? Because you both were a little messy (the palm trees are the problems in your photos).
That's why you have to wait and me and the other judges have to overthink this. I know you can do MUCH better.
Sorry angels, but at this moment I have no photo for both of you, you need to wait for our final decission.

Second Part:
The rest, please do the challenge until Thursday, April 28!!!
I will post the elimination on the following Friday (April 29), so please stay tuned!!

xoxo Rafi101

Ps: There are 2 new Media Partners coming... more tomorrow!!
