Sabina Carpenter

Sabina Carpenter, the termite carpenter, is the winner of Cycle 5 of Ballyhoo's Next Top Model. She was the first insect winner of Ballyhoo's Next Top Model. She later went on to guest judge Cycle 6. She's often mistaken for Sabrina Carpenter but it's not her!! That girl just has bug eyes!!
== Personality/Background==
Sabina is a carpenter who loves creating wooden masterpieces. She's an architect, an artist, and a visionary. Unfortunately she struggles with imposter syndrome and self-doubt regarding her work, like most artists. She tends to cope with her insecurity issues with emotional eating. As she is a termite, this means that she often self-sabotages her own work by eating it during the process. This makes it even worse and it all becomes a self perpetuating cycle. Sabina has great intellect and passion, but she struggles with setting herself up for failure.
== Cycle 5 ==
Initially, nobody thought much of Sabina Carpenter on Cycle 5. Her other contestants and even the judges dismissed her as somewhat of a joke contestant, although a very fun one with a cute and quirky gimmick. However, Sabina quickly proved everyone wrong with a powerful photo for Rest & Relaxation, and from there, she rarely left off the brakes. The only thing that seemed to overcome Sabina's inner saboteur, was her desire to prove everyone wrong and do well out of a mixture of spite and the desperation to keep herself going. Like all artists, she somehow made it right when the deadline was near. Her photos just kept improving. Black & White was a great shot. She then had 3 absolute slam dunk FCOs in a row with her shots for Shoes, Upside Down, and Hobbies. The wooden platform shoes she made for that photoshoot are now sold and recreated globally by fashion companies. Sabina made waves and artistic statements, with a controversial rear-view shot highlighting her 🍑 during Colors week. After making it overseas, she was becoming more middle of the pack, but she was determined to not let it slip through her pincers, and she came back last minute with a stellar Statue of Liberty photoshoot, earning her a 4th FCO. She then did amazing on the cover shots, specifically her Vogue, and although the portfolio battle was very close, tying in point score, Sabina's personal story of triumph, as well as her versatility throughout her portfolio and willingness to try new things, earned her the win over a somewhat samey rival in Scyphozoa. Sabina was crowned the winner of Ballyhoo's Next Top Model Cycle 5!
