Shawn is happy he hasn't been eliminated, but he wants some advice.

3rd Shoot!!!!!
We were all woken up early and told to load a school bus. I figured we were going to go to a school. We were dropped off at a football field. We all walked to the middle of the field to meet Tyson and Nicole. We were told that we would be working in teams. I honestly wasn’t happy at first. The photographer put us in groups. I was paired with Salome and Mountaha; they are both amazing girls. Our shoot was a football theme. We were all put in harnesses and suspended into the air. I didn’t really performe that well. Salome and I kept hitting each other in the air. I think our picture is the weakest of the group. I mean really, I looked akward. I am not ready to go home. I am going to have to really improve on the catwalk, to prove I have what it takes to remain in the competition.

3rd Runway
We were taken to meet Tyson and Nicole to hear how we were to walk for our runway challenge. They started out telling us we would be walking individually with an Olympic theme.  We were told to pose as an athlete at the end of the runway. I honestly had no idea what I was going to do. As we were taken back to wardrobe I figured out there was a twist. I noticed these weird shoulder pieces. As we all got fitted they attached them to my body. I was also given elbow bads, up until I received my elbow pads I didn’t know what I was going to do. I thought of kung fu (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.) I had a great walk and at the end of the runway I crouched down then crossed with my elbow.  felt very confident about my walk and pose. But I was still worried about my photo. As we lined up to see who was safe I really thought I was going to be in the bottom. I was so surprised to hear that I was safe for the third week in a row.  Don’t get me wrong — I was so grateful, but I still haven’t gotten any advice from the judges. I felt OK about my performance in all, but really unsure of what the judges thought of me. So there were a few people who have been in the bottom or top twice, within the three weeks.  Whether good or bad they still received feedback and new where to improve. I really want to hear where I need to improve??? Here we are three weeks in the competition and I haven’t been given any advice.

Shawn,
The only advise I can think of to give you is CONFIDENCE in yourself. Believing in yourself along with mentally visualizing yourself, being aware of your body movements. Watch yourself in a mirror. Hope it helps. Good luck!!!! Voting for you.

You're so awesome...I'm from P'cola and it's cool to see someone representin' our town...hehe...keep it up man...

Hey Shawn...to funny, I turned the TV on and there you were....lol I was like what? I remember back in the day and now look at you. Still looking hott. I guess because I know you Ill be voting for you so dont act a fool. Glad to see things are going good for you. Steven

Go Shawn! You're the next America's supermodel, buddy!

Shawn, you're my favorite to win because you're really cute and open and gay. Jonathan, Sandhurst and Gabriel are setting off my gaydar big time, so it's your duty to "out" them.

I don't know anything about the modeling world, other than that it seems to be a brutal business, so if you do get called into the lower three but are not eliminated, it's important to listen to whatever criticism you're given so that you can change and improve. In the meantime, you should ask Tyson and Nicole for advice constantly, because otherwise you could be going week after week after week and all of a sudden you're in the lower three, and you wonder why they didn't give you helpful criticism beforehand so that you could have avoided ending up in the lower three.

Good luck; I'm still pulling for you to win.

Be yourself.

Hey Shawn! I think you're really sweet and dedicated to becoming a supermodel. I think what might be keeping you out of the top three is that sometimes you're not quite as manly as what the judges are looking for. Like, not as butch as Branden, for example. But that's just who you are, and it's not a bad thing. I'd say, try to get some input from Tyson or the other guys on being more masculine in your poses. Don't worry about being completely graceful all the time. Keep up the good work, I'm rooting for you!
