Here are the comments of some of the judges...

Lioncourt

br@t - I think its ok that you were the last to send your entry, after all you guys really have 1 week to prepare. But I was dissapointed with your photo, truth be told, you looked
like the delivery guy of PizzaHut. Had you shown ur face in the "unSexyBack" pic of yours, it wouldve been the perfect entry. Nevertheless I am still looking forward to your future photos.

bakekong - We all know you've got looks, I had hoped you knew how to use that to your advantage, but your photo didnt highlight your good qualities, instead it made you looked forgettable. Your face was dark from lack of lighting and your stomach seemed to be the main focus of the pic. And whats with the nudity? The theme isn't "erotic-sport centeforld", just "sports".

pipo2 - I know u really prepared for this round, as there were a lot of pics to choose from as to which one you will send as ur official photo. I commend you for the effort. Now for the photo, it looked alright, but you didnt have to go shirtless, especially when you're posing for a work-out oriented photo; and your facial expression could have been tougher, considering its a dumbell ure carrying and not a pygmy puff.

CANDYMAN - Bravo for the high-fashion looking photo with a good texture, lighting and pose. However, you still should not rest on your laurels because your photo still lacks the intensity of a real Sports-oriented photo.

jude - How nice of you to put the word "Tennis" on your pic? Well, sarcasm aside, you have actually produced a very good photo, but it's lacking in props, like instead of the word Tennis, you could've carried a real tennis racket, or a basketball, a dumbell,
even a something as simple as a shuttlecock (no pun intended).

A K I - You look good in your photo, but as is my problem with some of the pics, why are you barely wearing anything? When did we ever see varsity men playing The Game in briefs? Had you chosen to wear jersey shorts, the
shirtless-ness would've been effective. And yeah, your facial expression lacked the "sporty" feel.

sundhae_143 - Such panache! You were the one who sent the most "interesting" pic. But honestly, it was bordering on tacky, memorabilia pics can hardly work to your advantage because of the lack of artistry. But I commend you for your boldness. The pose wasn't masculine at all, but you could work on that in the future.

timothy3 / eroz2 - I dont really have much to say regarding your photos, same goes with dn_angel had he not backed out. Why? Because I dont get the photos being sporty at all. The two of you look good in the camera, I'd just like to see a little more effort on the succeeding weeks.

TO ALL THE CONTESTANTS:

Always follow the week's theme... and guys, you're not obliged to go shirtless, unless doing so is required by the current theme and/or it will make your photo look reeeeaally good. Know your angles, consider the pose and the lighting, and most of all, adherence to the theme. B e more outward-looking, meaning you also have to consider your audience, its not enough that you like your photo.

Good Luck on the next round!!!!

br@t... well you were the last one to submit a photo.. i was expecting something extra special.. anyway... matters not.. at least you made it before the deadline... as for your picture... you have a very beautiful face... it looks effortless but still looks good.. *giggles* and i must say that im pretty sure that you'll stay here for a long time as long as you put an extra effort on it.. *winks* next time ha?

***

bakekong8... you have a very nice skin tone.. i like it... ^_^ gusto ko rin ung posing mo... hehehe... somehow you know good pacing... pero i think your'e not comfortable with your pose... your tummy shows.. but i know you can easily work on it next time.. i think tatagal ka din dito.. keep it up... :-)

***

pipo2... its a nice picture... but... like bakekong8 you seem not comfortable with your'e pose... parang there's something that looks uneasy with the picture.. i think it's with your right arm... but ofcourse this is just the beginning.. there's a lot of room for improvement... ^_^

***

guys i just noticed... most of you guys are topless... hehehe... may nude pa.. hehehe! wala lang... if a theme is given out to you guys... make sure that you focus on projecting the theme... if you think that you can get by this contest just with your body... think again... ;-)

***

candyman... black and white eh? you have taste that's all i can say... hehehe.. who took the photo?.. palitan mo na cia... hehehe... joke... i think it would have looked nicer if you have stood up straight and gave a straight look on the camera... di kasi na e-emphasize ung muka mo eh... but its a good picture.. ^_^

***

jude... very nice pic! parang naupo kalang pero it became a very nice pose.. although it's not that convincing dahil walang sneakers or a racket... ok parin.. it still seems like your'e in for a tennis game... and i really like the features of your face... nice jaw... ^_^

***

Brat - You were the last one to submit an entry.. ALL I can say is "SAYANG!" It was a perfect "sports" gear, worn by a promising model BUT shot by a BAD camera in a WRONG ANGLE!

Bakekong - Your tummy didn't work to your advantage.

Pipo - I understand that you have changed your first pic to submit a more "sporty" entry. But I still think the first pic was better : )

Jude - You belong to those on-top for this round. The outfit was sporty..but you could have maneuvered a more sporty pose...By the way, u have luscious LIPS!

AKI - Perfect, except for the inappropriate smile which was way too feminine for Basketball...and errrrrr...the BULGE..

Sundhae - WRONG CHOICE OF PIC! The gal beside you (rather than YOU) caught my attention first..I know you have the right ATTITUDE to be a model. Use it properly.

Timothy3 - You should have showed more skin to convince us that your entry was sporty enough..But I'm confident you'll do better in the next round.

Eroz2 - You're in my bottom three for this round...but I want you to STAY!

Dn_Angel - ...

Candyman - Magazine-worthy! Need I say more?

A K I -- This pic was OK. The pose is good, the facial expression is good. It's just that I don't like how your hair is covering your left eye. It'd be OK I guess if the top part of your head wasn't cropped out of the picture, but since only half of your head is showing, it would have been nice if your facial features were given more emphasis. Also, since the outline your private parts is showing, this is borderline porn for me (hehe).

bakekong8 -- Hmmm... I think I preferred the pic before it was photoshopped. There was more warmth in the original pic. This pic is a little bit tacky for me. I think your body angle over-emphasizes your gut, and although we're not looking for models with perfect bodies, I think it would have been better if you hadn't slouched so that it's not your tummy we're focusing on. The racket covers your face, which I think is a shame. The pic would have been more artistic if you hadn't smiled.

br@t -- I'm honestly disappointed in this pic. The attitude we see in your profile pics is completely missing here. There is no emotion in your face, and that would have been fine maybe if your facial features had been emphasized, but they weren't. I think it's because the camera angle is all wrong. Pics taken from below aren't usually very flattering, and in this pic your facial features seem all bunched together.

CANDYMAN -- Good effort. I like the pose, but I think you pushed your face a little too high in terms of the angle. I see more of your cheek than any of your other facial features, which is a shame. Also, somehow the tension in your body and the softness in your face don't match for me.

dn_angel -- Sorry for your loss, and sorry you had to back out... :-(

eroz2 -- Although the pic doesn't fit in with our theme, I love how relaxed the photo seems. I would have liked it more though if you had tilted your head back a little more so that your neck could have emphasized, but otherwise I like the simplicity of the photo.

JUDE -- I love the photo. Very confident yet casual body angle. I had a problem with the pic at first though, cuz I couldn't see your eyes, but then I realized this photo wasn't about your eyes -- it's about your LIPS! Damn boy, those have got be the juiciest lips in the competition. Haha. And I love how the photo is photoshopped to make your top seem like it's made of velvet. Brilliant.

pipo2 -- Nice body angle, nice facial expression. There's attitude in this pic, although I wish you would have upped the energy a bit. It's a good picture, but not the best of the bunch.

sundhae_143 -- I like the body posture, minus your left hand which is I think in an awkward position. I think your facial expression could have been edgier though. My biggest problem with this pic is that the woman beside you completely outshines you. The look on her face, the angles of her body (minus her right leg, which looks weird), and those boobs! And I don't even like boobs.

timothy3 -- You look lost in this pic. I can't tell what emotion you're trying to portray, the angle makes you look like you don't have a neck, and the camera is too close. It's kinda distorted, and doesn't show off your facial features well. You can definitely do better than this.
