Katrina should be the winner instead of Belle in terms of appearance. If based on performance both are qualified as winners. I bet Katrina is really disappointed not being the champion. So close yet so far. Another disappointed contestant will be Joycelyn who thinks she will fair better than being 4th runner up (can really see the disappointment on her face when she was announced as 4th runner up). I guess the most disappointed contestant will be Vivien Yeo’s sister. Previously her sister was the winner but she did not even make it to the top 5,not even an award. Perhaps she is too over- confident thinking she will somehow follow her older sister’s footsteps.
