The third runner-up spot went to Keyana De’Souza, who represented Block 22; while Chelsea Venture, who represented Amelia’s Ward, copped the second runner-up position.

The first runner-up went to Manouska Vyfhuis, who represented Nottinghamshire.
In the final question segment, Figueira was asked what advice she would give to girls who post semi-nude photos on social network site Facebook and to share her views on the issue. She responded by saying that she could not believe that young people should do such a thing.

“My advice, know your worth, self-worth is the first worth you need if you need others to respect you. So respect yourself before you expect others to respect you,” she responded.

Shanti Paul and Wrenta Sydney did not make it to the final four.
