Two weeks ago on “ANTM:” Chantelle won the comeback challenge! But the models still had to see who would go to Korea. They had to model while going through a haunted house. And then they modeled for a campaign encouraging people to wear condoms to reduce the risk of contracting AIDS. Mirjana struggles with Denzel’s elimination while Chantelle doesn’t endear herself to her fellow models upon her return to the house. In the end, she got best photo while Mirjana fell in the bottom with Raelia. Mirjana was eliminated as the other models got ready to fly to Seoul. Seven contestants remain, who will be eliminated tonight? Find out!
Wanna be on top?
The models pack to head out to South Korea. Will explains why this is a big deal while Adam needs some help packing. Namely, he needs a beer. Keith says that his drinking is a bit over the top. Chantelle is celebrating being on top. She tells Keith he needs to take one of her bags and he says she needs to be polite. Lenox continues to despise Chantelle.
Shei talks about going home and says she’s attractive Adam. He sneaks into one of her confessionals (with a beer) and asks if she likes him. She plays it cool and says he’s a’ight. And then they make out. Shei’s like “SCORE!”
CREDITS!
The airplane flies from LA to Seoul! Welcome to South Korea, y’all! Raelia is just excited about being out of the country. She says being in the bottom last week is only going to make her stronger. On the Korean Model Mobile, Chantelle says she knows she has to loosen up again but she’s not here to make friends. Tyra should consider making that the new theme song.
Everyone stops at market before going to a studio. K-Pop boy band BtoB is there. Yu Tsai welcomes them to Seoul. Ms. J says they have to learn BtoB’s dance moves and perform them in the street. Lenox is less than thrilled. Ms. J says that they will be photographed as they are dancing so Yu Tsai reminds them to continue modeling as they dance. One BtoB member, Peniel, explains they always have to make sure they look good for their fans. He then teaches them some of their moves. Adam struggles because he’s slightly inebriated. Raelia is just having fun. Lenox seems to enjoy doing the running man and does seem to be having fun in the background.
They are split into two groups:
A: Shei, Adam and Keith
B: Will, Raelia, Lenox and Chantelle
Will is not thrilled to be paired up with Chantelle.
In hair and makeup, Lenox practices and decides she’s going to look stupid. She’s just going to focus on getting a good shot. I think that’s a step in the right direction…like she’s letting loose. Chantelle celebrates being the Comeback Girl but no one wants to be paired with her. Lenox hopes Chantelle goes home as we go to…
COMMERCIALS!
SEOUL! A crowd has gathered…I assume to see BtoB rather than the models. Anyway, the models are there and Yu Tsai reminds them that they will be judged individually. Best photo=challenge winner. Will’s team goes first. Chantelle’s plan is to focus on herself. Ms. J thinks she did well. Will utilizes his ballet skills, which causes Raelia to step up her game. Yu Tsai says Lenox was hard to watch. Shei’s group is next. Adam seems to get lost and appears to be struggling. Ms. J notes that Adam had the same face the entire time. Ms. J says Keith looked very natural.
BtoB applauds them and names the top 3: Chantelle, Keith and Raelia. Will is happy for Raelia even if he didn’t make the top 3. They are BFFs. Keith is praised for being natural, Chantelle danced well and Raelia mixed dancing and modeling well. The winner? Raelia! She’s excited! Yu Ysai tells them to go see their suite.
It’s a pretty gorgeous suite. It’s decorated with their pictures from throughout the competition. Chantelle revels in her best photo. Her Tyra treat is first pick of beds. Adam notes that someone will have to sleep on the couch. Lenox calls dibs on a bed and Adam is like you can’t do that. Everyone else is like “Wha?” Shei offers to share her bed but Adam slurs that the bed’s too small. He says he’ll sleep on the couch tonight but he’ll need a bed the next night. Everyone’s like “What is going on?” Shei says he’s not boyfriend material as Adam makes up the couch.
The challenge scores are posted. Lenox is at the bottom with Adam. They both have sevens. Adam decides to have a few drinks. Everyone gets concerned. Keith says it’s going to catch up with him but he’s not caring. Adam says he likes to drink and that partying is part of him. He has a drunken conversation with his picture. Not quite Lisa and Cousin Itt proportions but it’s up there.
COMMERCIALS!
The next morning, there’s alcohol everywhere. Will offers Adam some water but he says it’s not good for hangovers. (Actually, it is. You have a hangover because you’re dehydrated). He says he just needs food and more beer. In confessional, Adam explains his formula works and he’s not going to mess with it.
SEOUL! The models get off the bus and Yu Tsai tells them they are at city hall. It’s gorgeous. It’s the backdrop for their shoot with Erik Asla. The shoot is for MCM. Raelia is excited. Yu Tsai introduces them to the Global Artistic Director of MCM, Michael Michalsky. He talks about Seoul and MCM. The person who gets best photo will be featured in an editorial in a high fashion magazine.
Tyra then surprises them and says she’ll be doing makeup. She tells Raelia to bring it because it’s really competition now. Meanwhile, Keith still thinks Adam has a drinking problem. Adam says he has a big personality and that he filters himself. He needs drinking to open up. Adam is first. Michael wants to see a different face and for him to be welcoming. Tyra gives him some advice. He keeps stopping in front of the camera even as Yu Tsai tells him to go past him. Tyra jumps in front of the camera to show him. Yu Tsai is surprised Adam is still here. He ends the shoot.
Will is next. Tyra gives him a few notes and Will nails it. He does a victory dance. Yu Tsai says Will made him look good in front of MCM. Raelia is next and told to be less sexy. Tyra tells her not to think of sex and Michael puts her in sneakers. He hopes it’ll make her look less sexy. But Michael doesn’t like the shots, saying it doesn’t fit what their brand is.
Keith is in love with Tyra. She gives him some advice to help him model again. Yu Tsai begs him to be model. Keith is running too fast and Tyra shows him how to “buy time.” Keith gets it right away. Yu Tsai yells at him to model. He and Yu Tsai have a heart-to-heart about letting his wall down. But Ketih still struggles as we go to…
COMMERCIALS!
Keith decides to loosen up and seems to be getting it. Erik also has a heart-to-heart with Keith, telling him he’s getting there.
Shei is next. Tyra gives Shei some advice but she struggles with the light. When she nails it, though, she nails it. Chantelle changed her hair and makeup while waiting. Adam builds an animal fort while Lenox goes next. She feels like she’s having a bad week and can’t have one. Chantelle is next. Yu Tsai calls her his panda and Chantelle thinks it isn’t okay. Yu Tsai tells her to bring her model attitude. Michael thinks Chantelle is gorgeous and interesting looking. But the other models want her gone. Yu Tsai calls her boring and Tyra instructs her. Chantelle says that if she makes it to next week, she’s going to talk to him about it.
Will, Adam and Keith talk about the next to be eliminated. Will thinks Lenox. Adam says he’s going to go. He calls himself a realist. Raelia is nervous because Michael didn’t like her. Will says he’ll be devastated if she goes home. Lenox is worried as well.

ELIMINATION! Best photo goes to…Keith. He’s joined by: Will, Lenox, Shei, and Adam. She tells Adam he was a messed and then pulls him closer. She smells alcohol on his breath and asks if he had before his shoot. She tells him to watch his drinking. And she’s going to keep an eye on him because she’s been worried he drinks too much.
The bottom two is Raelia and Chantelle. Raelia: Bubbly, people love her, but does she understand her beauty? Chantelle: Strong face but cold. Attitude but only a few good pictures. Who stays? Chantelle. Raelia breaks down as Chantelle gets her shot. Tyra says Chantelle is softening up but she needs to do it in her photos.
Tyra tells Raelia she did well but it’s about mastering her face. Once she does that, she’ll be a strong model. After hugging the other girls, she tells Will to win it. Raelia says she’ll make something of herself.
America’s Next Top Model:
Adam
Lenox
Will
I always thought a commercial challenge was going to do Raelia in. I’m sure she’ll go far.
I was half expecting a big intervention for Adam’s drinking this episode. And that I was going to use the How I Met Your Mother “Intervention” banner picture as well. I do think it’s going to come up in a future episode. Though it looks like Chantelle’s going to have some sort of breakdown next week and will probably get some Tyra counseling.
Next week: Go-sees! Chantelle vs. Yu Tsai! Chantelle crying in the hallway!
Quote of the Episode
“This is Tyra Banks. Get your **** together, Adam.”—Adam to himself
