Everyone returns home to see Lenox’s photo again on the screen. She talks about how crazy it is that she’s been in the top 3 weeks in a row. Shei’s like “Congrats but stop hogging the top spot!” Lenox receives a card that tells her to pick two friends to share in the Tyra treat—whatever it may be. So she picks Raelia and Shei.
In the kitchen, Adam finds a note from Matthew asking him and anyone else drinking to have one for him. Mirjana says she doesn’t want to be in the bottom two ever again and she won’t be. Keith says she doesn’t have the say so and when she argues back, he points out that social media is a wild card. But Mirjana argues that they do like her because she changes up her look. Keith confesses that he’s not happy Mirjana is still there because she’s always been loud and obnoxious. Mirjana argues with Keith saying last week her only problem was the challenge. She is ignoring the fact that Keith is bringing up a very good point—social media is a wild card and plays a big role in their choices.
Denzel says he knows people don’t like Mirjana but he does. He sees the pain behind her eyes and her brash attitude. Why? Because he’s the same. He talks about his father dying and being raised by his mother to be very independent. So he relates to Mirjana. He does admit that their relationship can be exhausting though.
A wolf howls and scary music plays. Someone walks up to the house with a suitcase. Everyone is hanging out when they hear the door creak open. Mirjana freaks out. Lenox says it has turned into a slasher flick and someone may be trying to kill them.
CREDITS!
So who is at the door? Ms. J! In pajamas and curlers. Ms. J gives Lenox, Shei and Raelia onesies and tells them to go to the Tyra Suite for their Tyra Treat. Will thinks he deserves the treat because he got second best photo. That’s not how it works, Will. I like you. Don’t let your ego ruin that.
Upstairs, Ms. J gives the girls some pointers. And he does his impression of Raelia’s walk, which leaves Lenox and Shei in stiches on the bed. Ms. J asks Lenox what her normal dance rhythm is but she says she can’t dance. So Ms. J does! And he twerks. Ms. J tells her to shake it but she defers to Shei and Raelia, who reminds the audience that Lenox almost went home for not letting loose. But she does attempt to twerk. She still seems very uncomfortable.
Downstairs, everyone dons onesies. Ms. J delivers their Tyra Mail and it involves Style Fashion Week. Everyone freaks out. Keith regrets not getting to work with Ms. J but is excited for Style Fashion Week. Ms. J leaves and it’s lights out.
The next morning, Denzel talks about the comments he got at panel about needing to slim his arms down. He says he has to respect the judges’ opinions…even if they might be wrong. Uh oh. And I still don’t see him doing anything to slim down.
Ms. J and Alexis Borges welcome the models to Style Fashion Week. Alexis says he’s interested to see how their walk has improved since the last time he saw them. But not everyone might get the chance to walk. There are four designers casting. Including Betsey Johnson! This is before she started on Dancing with the Stars, I know. If you didn’t get a chance to see any of her dances, I encourage you to do so. Anyway, she says she has a couple spots for girls but only one spot for a guy. Someone built and Denzel thinks he has it in the bag. Suck it, Kelly.
The models take to the runway in hopes of impressing Betsey. Shei says Mirjana’s walk is different from her personality—more softer. Keith thinks he has an advantage over Adam, who feels might be direct competition for what Betsey wants. Betsey does like Keith’s tattoos.
Betsey books Raelia and Shei for her show. And the guy? Keith gets the spot! Denzel is upset but knows there are more designers to impress.
Like Control Spector. They are looking for one boy and one girl. Will says he has confidence and it’ll show in his walk. I don’t see it. But he books it anyway. Shei also books them. The girls head to Altaf Maaneshia while the boys head to Civil Society. Ketih impresses over there. Altaf hires all the girls and they celebrate. Go girls! They impressed him enough that he made room for two more girls. Mirjana hopes Denzel booked his show.
Over at Civil Society, Denzel does seem to impress but the clothing is a bit snug. Adam and Will book Civil Society. There’s one last spot and it comes down to Denzel and Keith. Who gets it? Find out after…
COMMERCIALS!
Keith gets the spot because he fit the clothes better. Denzel is upset, saying he doesn’t want to lose any more weight but he knows how big it is that he didn’t book anything.
Everyone but Denzel gets ready for their shows and Kiara from Cycle 19 is there. Hi, Kiara! She talks with a few of the models as the others practice. Keith loves the chaos of it all. Will pumps himself up and says he’s never done a fashion show before and now he’s doing two! Raelia is excited she booked two, especially as some people (Denzel) didn’t book any. Mirjana feels bad that Denzel didn’t book anything.
Time for the fashion show! Ms. J and Alexis take their seats. Alexis thinks Will is more masculine. As Adam walks, Denzel stews in the audience and says he’s stiff as a board. We zoom past Control Sector before we watch Kiara walk. Alexis calls Lenox forgettable. Raelia doesn’t make it all the way down the runway. She stops, poses and turns back as Ms. J implores her to come back. The audience laughs. Raelia realizes she screwed up. She makes it all the way down for Betsey Johnson’s runway. She stomps down the runway, giving it her all. As Keith walks dressed a firefighter, Betsey does her signature cartwheel into a split.
After the show, Alexis says some did better than others and some didn’t book anything (Denzel). Ms. J mentions Raelia’s SNAFU. Lenox’s body was better but her face wasn’t so great. Alexis praises Shei and tells Will he improved. Shei is the overall challenge winner. Yay!
At the house, Shei has presents waiting for her. Adam admits he’s attracted to her. Will celebrates his challenge score of 9. Denzel has a six while Lenox has a 7. Will pretends to be sad but he’s not. Stop being a jerk, Will.
Denzel sulks in a fetal position. Mirjana tries to get him up but Denzel says he’s too drained.
COMMERCIALS!
The next morning, Mirjana is mad at Denzel because he forgot to wake her up. Keith says he likes Denzel but hates Mirjana and Denzel is always with her. The models board the model mobile.
Yu Tsai greets them and introduces their hairstylist, Mitch Stone. He’s a celebrity hairstylist. But today, he is their client—they are shooting the ad for his products. She shills his products before Yu Tsai reveals they will be paired up:
Shei and Denzel
Mirjana and Keith
Raelia and Will
Lenox and Adam
Yu Tsai says they have to look beautiful and have chemistry. Whoever has the best photo will have their shot posted on Mitch’s website. They send the models to hair and makeup.
Mitch talks about his products and goes gaga over Lenox’s hair. Will says he’s going to stop Lenox’s run of best photos. Shei checks on her partner but Denzel is tired. She tells him wake up because he has to pick her up in the shoot. Mirjana watches and thinks Shei is flirting with Denzel.
Denzel and Shei go first. Erik Asla is back as photographer. Denzel feels the added pressure to deliver a good shot. Yu Tsai feels that Denzel is sleepy and tells him to work with Shei. She definitely rocks it. When they finish, Denzel hugs Shei. Mirjana sits nearby, glaring. Especially when Shei gives Denzel a back rub to relieve his sore muscles after holding her up.
Will and Raelia say people are underestimating them. Will can’t hold Raelia up for long, though. Well, he says he knows how to lift but she doesn’t know how to be lifted. I guess that’s a polite way of saying she’s dead weight? But Will makes it work. Yu Tsai says Will was great but Raelia tended to drag him down.
Backstage, Denzel goes to talk to Mirjana. She’s still mad at him. Keith can’t understand why he’s always with her. He wishes Denzel luck.
Keith and Mirjana struggle with the lift. Mirjana always feels like she’s falling. They strike a pose and get some pictures. When Keith puts her down, Mirjana lays into him. Keith tells her to suck it in but she says he’s the one dropping her. Will says her temper is getting out of hand. He makes a comment and Mirjana goes off on him. Erik tries to silence her. Yu Tsai looks over her. Will comments that it’s never Mirjana’s fault.
COMMERCIALS!
Yu Tsai jumps in and says that Will is partially right that they are a team. Erik tells Keith he’s doing well and Mirjana asks what her problem is. He tells her everything. Erik is so over her. Yu Tsai shows her what to do. They finish their shoot.
Lenox also feels the pressure to deliver this shoot. She and Adam struggle to get her lifted up. Yu Tsai gets frustrated as he tells Lenox to stop moving and yet she keeps doing so. Lenox then slides down as they try to get the shot. Lenox feels stressed after the shoot.
That’s a wrap!
Back at home, Denzel and Mirjana make up. Denzel says they want to spend as much time together before either of them wins the title. The way it’s been going, I’d think they’d go home before that. Outside, Will shudders at their PDA. He tells Shei Denzel just wants sex and that it’ll affect her modeling career. Mirjana says she has to pray as we go to…
COMMERCIALS!
Panel! There are judges: Kelly Cutrone and J Alexander. This week in hair: 70s! There are prizes! Mirjana and Keith go first. They deny fighting on set but Tyra doesn’t buy it. She goes over how many designers they booked in the challenge before going to their shot. Kelly loves their shot and says Mirjana’s hair looks fantastic. Tyra thinks the lower half of the body isn’t very modelly. Mirjana’s scores: 7, 8, 9. Ms. J thinks Keith stole the picture from her and looks great. Kelly and Tyra agree. Keith’s scores: 8, 9, 9. Shei and Denzel are next. Shei booked all the shows and Ms. J praises her versatility. Tyra says she changed up her walk as well so Shei is on her way. But Denzel booked nothing. Ms. J points out that it’s because Denzel is too big with his muscles. Kelly points out that he still hasn’t dropped it like they’ve asked him. Tyra tells him to lose it—but do it in a healthy way. As for his picture, Kelly doesn’t like it but Ms. J thinks it’s art. Denzel’s scores: 8, 8, 7. Kelly isn’t so thrilled with Shei and Ms. J warns her about extending. Tyra says it needed a few tweaks to be superb. Shei’s scores: 8, 8, 7.
Will and Raelia are next. Ms. J relives Raelia stopping short on the runway. The judges just gust over Will in the shot. They love him. Will’s scores: 10, 10, 8. Tyra loves Raelia’s shot. Raelia’s scores: 9, 10, 8. Adam and Lenox are last. Kelly thinks it looks like an ice skating ad. Tyra agrees but says it still says fashion. Ms. J likes Adam’s face and Tyra agrees though she does say it’s still a bit stiff. Adam’s scores: 8, 9, 6. Kelly doesn’t like Lenox’s shot but I think Tyra and Ms. J disagree. Ms. J mentions how she didn’t seem to want to twerk and Tyra notes that she wasn’t letting go again. Lenox’s scores: 7, 8, 7. Tyra dismisses the models so they can calculate the scores. We go to…
COMMERCIALS!
ELIMINATION! Best photo goes to…Will! He’s joined by: Raelia, Keith, Shei, Mirjana, and Adam. That leaves Denzel and Lenox in the bottom two. Denzel: Takes really good pictures but doesn’t look like a model. There’s a simple thing he can do but he hasn’t. Lenox: Only booked one fashion show. Her social media score was lowest it’s been. So who stays? Lenox. She takes her photo, hugs Denzel and joins the others.
Tyra hugs Denzel and says she’s mad at him because he knows what he could’ve done to slim down. She tells him to do that for the Comeback Competition. But in the post-elimination interview, he says he’s not going to lose any more weight. He also says he will see what happens between him and Mirjana but now he’s focused on coming back.
America’s Next Top Model:
Adam
Lenox
Raelia
Will
*Contestant was disqualified
Tyra tells the models it’s been stressful. So she’s brought comfort food! Everyone enjoys Tyra’s favorite soul foods. She then says that there’s a lot of food so they need more people. Everyone looks confused until Denzel leads in the other eliminated contestants. Time to find out who’s been brought back, y’all!
Raelia isn’t thrilled to have more people added to the competition again. Mirjana thinks Denzel is about to make a comeback. Tyra reveals that this cycle’s overseas destination is Seoul, Korea. Everyone’s like “Shei’s going home!” So which girl is coming back? Kari? Chantelle? Ivy? Social media says: Chantelle! Tyra congratulates her before Ivy and Kari leave. Which boy will be coming back? Denzel? Matthew? Ben? Social media says: Ben! Matthew and Denzel are dismissed.
Sorry, Mirjana.
Ben and Chantelle share a hug before coming to stand before Tyra. But wait, there’s more! Turns out only one of them will be going to Seoul. Who is it? Social media says:
Find out next episode!
So who do you think will come back? I’m leaning toward Chantelle.
Is Mirjana starting to bug anyone else too?
Betsey Johnson rocks.
Next time: American Horror Story: ANTM! Keith struggles! Raelia breaks down!
