This is actually kind of tradg because looking at the portfolios of both girls, they're both kind of awful? The way I chose between them was simple - Amelia has more of a dainty fairy look to her and I love that, so she made the Top 15!
Stephanie Hart came 2nd in Cycle 3. But it wasn't like wow congratulations you came 2nd. It was -
omfg Queen Alice you goddess on high - oh you're still here?.... I guess you came 2nd. Throughout the entire cycle, there was a problem. There were two Stephanie's in cycle 3. Not I am not joking - they picked 12 girls, and TWO of them had the same name. Are you serious? So we were treated to dealing with Steph F and Steph H, and all these years late I still remember not knowing which one was which for the first 3 episodes until Steph F was eliminated.
They even looked similar.
Seriously.Anyway, so they distinguished this Steph (or attempted to) from the very beginning when she was praised in Week 1 and Steph F ended up in the Bottom 2. The following week, she won a lingerie challenge and got high praise in her photoshoot. Here's the thing - the editing in this cycle was actually kind of good with the winner reveal. Alice was always there and amazing but.... they didn't edit her to be so obvious. At first you think it's going to be someone like Steph who wins - probably Steph or Jordan. I mean... in episode three it's a point of the arc that the girls dislike her because she's an overachiever and "too peppy"
So ofcourse in that same episode they have to show her struggling and giving up in a reward challenge. Poor Steph :( See girls? She ISN'T perfect! Then she goes completely UTR for all of one episode - the episode that Steph F is eliminated in, coincidentally - can't be getting the Stephs confused in a boot episode, you know? And then she's back the following week receiving high praise for some car shoot, and more praise the following week in a couture shoot with this:
At this stage is also where we started to see Alice shine bright - when the judges sat up and decided she was one of the favourites, and poor Steph started delivering what I would call steaming piles of dog crap, but... apparently the judges disagreed so.
Stephanie produced a couple more decent shots including:
and this post-show image that I kind of like:
but other than that she just faded into the background, in Alice's shadow to be honest, and then after the show wrapped, she probably went and got a job working in admin or some shit idk.
