Seeing how well Ivy did in the later half of c21 which early eliminatees do you would of excelled had they been in the later photoshoots of their cycles I feel like Rhianna from c15 would've done well with the Italian inspired photos if I'm being honest.
That is an amazing question. I’ve always thought about the occasional model who could have succeeded, but never really gave it that much thought. I have made a top 10 list of those I felt would have done best (in no particular order). I only counted the first 5 out of a cycle with 14 or more contestants, 4 for cycles with 12 or 13, and then 3 for those with less than 12, and of course only did cycles without social media photos (so no 19 through 20):
Kari Schmidt: Kari had 2 great shots during her time, and proved she had a strong face and great body. There are two shoots I think would have been great to see: imagine her representation of a Bratz doll rather than Sara’s mess, and the swimwear shoot. I can imagine magic being produced.
Felicia Provost: Felicia proved she was a strong poser, with a dancer background during her brief tenure. The aboriginal and swimsuit photoshoots could have been well suited to her.
Victoria Marshman: Victoria clearly had high fashion potential, and I think she’d have brought a unique spin to so many shoots: the fashion gargoyles and Great Wall shoots stand out as ones who could have slayed.
Courtney Davies: Courtney had been doing so well (even if I don’t think she was as strong as most) and was one of the stand outs. I think she could have killed the next two shoots, as well as the underwater shoot.
Gabrielle Kniery: Based on her look and casting week I think Gabrielle had potential to do really well. It had a lot of strong shoots, but I’d have loved to see her shadow shot as well as her perfume shot.
Rhianna Atwood: I totally agree with you. I think she would have killed the last 3 shoots in Italy, as well as the Rodeo Drive shoot and the wrestling shoot. Pretty much every shoot afterwards seemed possible for her to succeed in, except maybe the commercial…
Ava Capra: A lot of the early outs this cycle were up for consideration, but Ava proved herself the most. Had her hair not been butchered, I think she could have killed the dolls shoot, and brought her commercial beauty to the mothers and Zappos Couture shoots.
Cherish Waters: May be personal preference, but I really would loved to have seen Cherish do the supermarket one. Her face was so strong, and I think she could have carried the extreme fashion.
Justine Biticon: Justine had a stronger look than deserving of a first elimination, and I think she could have done well in a lot of the more youthful, urban shoots: the gym, jet and Gypsy sport shoots especially.
Coura Fall: This girl had all the potential in the world, but never really proved it in a shot. I think some of the later shoots were far more tailored for her: the parachute, gold paint and spider shoots. They just had a more high fashion edge.
These are entirely my guesses, and there are tonnes. I think the more recent seasons especially have had a higher quantity of contestants who would have done well. This might be down to poor judging recently, or the fact more contestants come in model ready, with a lot of early outs from the first few seasons just not having the transformation.

8. Victoria
My call-out average: 6.33
Panel call-out average: 8.67
Victoria had such an unusual look (cue her “What is so unusual about me?” response) that I loved and it usually translated well into her photos. I think that a lot of fans overrate her abilities a tiny bit, but I admit that she should’ve lasted longer than she did and her pictures were all interesting. She had a lot of potential to grow and could’ve had a shot of making overseas. I have mixed feelings about Victoria as a person. I can’t say that I was a major fan of her outside of panel. Particularly when she said things like “I’ll just be a smart blonde” or “I’ll be a nerd, but a pretty nerd”. Seriously, get over yourself, Victoria. However, I was completely on her side at panel. Twiggy and the other judges would make some comment without explaining anything, and when Victoria asked for clarification or defended herself it was always justified. The judges always seem to want the girls to be outspoken until they don’t want them to be outspoken. The hypocrisy is rich.
