Aimee, Monika, Franchesca and Amanda enjoy Boracay outside of the show

You’d think that just because they took part in a TV reality search, lasting friendships cannot be genuinely formed. But not in the case of these Asia’s Next Top Models Season 3 contenders.

Monika Sta. Maria, Franchesca Lagua and Amanda Chan – all Filipinas – together with Aimee Rose Cheng-Bradshaw from Singapore are spending the long Labor Day weekend in Boracay where they continued their being best buddies long after filming of the 3rd season of the modeling search was over. Of course, we’re still approaching the halfway mark on cable TV and only one of them has been eliminated so far (Franchesca). Be that as it may, the four ladies have formed a strong bond among themselves and are now like true sisters.

By the time all ladies return to their normal lives by Tuesday, the good times may no longer be in full swing. The ties they have linked in between will remain tight, however.

And my lips are super-tightly sealed as to who the eventual winner of Season 3 really is. ;-)

These ladies have gotten real close during the taping of the show and after

Monika in a screenshot of her winning motion editorial for Subaru

Episode 10 of Asia’s Next Top Model S3 had the remaining five (5) contestants go through their first motion editorial for Subaru. And you need not guess who won that challenge. Monika was in her best elements (watch her segment in the video below) and did not disappoint the client. She went straight to Top 4.

The Top 5 pose for the camera before becoming just a Top 4. Who will be eliminated next?

Will Amanda be the next to go?

But the more interesting part last week was the cliffhanger of an ending when the show was cut off (“To Be Continued“) just before host Georgina Wilson was about to announce who will be eliminated between Amanda and Barbara.

By now, you must have already a good feel on who got the boot. But are you really sure she’s the one?

Below is a teaser for Episode 11 of Asia’s Next Top Model where the fourth member of the quartet is nowhere to be seen (talk about extending the suspense).

Watch Asia’s Next Top Model S3 on Star World tonight at 8:45PM. We’re so close to the finals that you simply can’t afford to miss this one. ;-)

Asia's Next Top Model S3 Top 4 (left to right): Monika, Aimee, Gani and Barbara

Episode 11 of Asia’s Next Top Model S3 was an hour filled with a series of one-on-ones when host Georgina Wilson and mentor Joey Mead King took turns in personally interviewing the final four (Monika, Aimee, Barbara and Gani) and revealing some never-before-heard details from each one of them. If you missed this one, click HERE.

Amanda was eliminated right before the Top 4.

Did you know that Gani was bullied as a kid? Yes she was. And about Aimee’s weight gain during the show? She really couldn’t care less. At least not during taping because she knows it is impossible to lose the pounds in so short a time. Barbara and Monika also had their share of issues, but it was the latter’s pick of Ayu (her ‘nemesis’ in the model house) as potential winner (other than herself) that somehow gave viewers an idea of how her personality works.

Tonight, the Top 4 will go to their important go-sees/castings with three different Singapore-based clients/brands (Pois Boutique, Braun Buffel and Triumph) to see who will get the most number of bookings. They will also get their crucial Harper’s Bazaar photoshoot with Kenneth Goh.

The Top 4 during the lengthy judges' deliberation you will see tonight

Barbara of Japan suffered the cruelest cut when she got eliminated right before the Season Finale next week

During Episode 12 of Asia’s Next Top Model S3, we finally learned that Barbara Akemi Katsuki of Japan was the last girl to be eliminated right before the final runway show of the Season Finale next Wednesday. It was a bittersweet end to her journey in the reality search as she went through a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows before finally mustering enough strength and confidence to bounce back and prove that experience still reigns in the modeling world. Sadly, she wasn’t meant to be part of the whole thing till the end.

Will Monika be it for Season 3?

We saw last Wednesday how the three (3) other girls – Monika, Gani and Aimee – excelled in their respective go-sees and Harper’s Bazaar photoshoots. They sealed their way to the top tier and insured that only one among them deserves to become Asia’s Next Top Model of Season 3.

Who will finally make it among them?

So who could really be the ultimate winner? Which among Monika, Gani and Aimee will get that midway cut during the final show like what happened to Season 2’s Katarina? Which two girls will really lord it over everyone else and make that one last sprint to win the brand-new Subaru XV STI, commercial endorsement as the face of TRESemme and the prized contract with London-based Storm Model Management?

Well, there’s only one way to find out! And it will all come to an explosive finale on June 17.

Who will follow Jessica of Season 1 and Sheena of Season 2?

Tonight is the night when Asia’s Next Top Model S3 will be finally known after months of weekly challenges and eliminations that left only three (3) contenders in the hunt for the victory. Only one among Ayu Gani of Indonesia, Monika Sta. Maria of the Philippines and Aimee Rose Cheng-Bradshaw of Singapore will have the honor of becoming this season’s top placer – the Asian model who will drive home a brand-new Subaru XV STI, become the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Singapore and land a contract with Storm Models of London. Spoilers have flooded the internet weeks before the finale. But then again, you will need to watch the show to find out if prior buzz is indeed true.

So tune in to Star World at 8:45PM to witness everything.
