Here's the deal. I actually really liked Kathryn and having to cut her is pretty tragic. She was one of the girls I was hoping would make it pretty far. But the problem is, I also really liked Samantha. Although I think Kathryn had the better model looks
on the show a review of her story arch and a comparison of their post-show work really stuck a nail in the coffin for her.
Kathryn was in cycle 6, and like Claire and Ashlea (already eliminated) she was chosen NOT to walk in the first runway show of the season - but unlike Ashlea it's not because she didn't fit, it's because she walked like a baby deer who was figuring out how to use it's long limbs.

But unlike those two, she wasn't sent home because she gave a pretty decent performance at the week's mad-men themed photoshoot:
The following week she was the first call-out (one of two or three she received during her time on the show in fact!) but the week after she was in the bottom. Bit of an up/down journey in the early episodes for Kathryn and her photos reflect this, going from stunning to stunningly average in one fell swoop.
In episode 7, she made herself THAT model. There's always one girl who unleashes the wrath of all not naturally stick-thin girls around the world by proclaiming how much they hate exercise and can't even move on a treadmill for a few minutes.
Sophie-Goddess (the girl who came 3rd in cycle 6) did an exercise session with her and Judge Alex Perry and Sophie proved her fabulosity while Kathryn whinged about having to break a sweat. She then took some pretty uggo photo but still managed to survive the week. Then returned the runway
the runway this time was the streets of Sydney and she ended up eating pavement big time and had to have her shoes changed. She then delivered a decent photo but her runway was just so embarrassingly awful they sent her home anyway.
Awk.
Her post-show career has been similarly up/down. She somehow manages to deliver beautiful shots like this:
while also delivering shit like this:
Sorry Kathryn :( You were great but I remember you better than you were
