ANTM: Welcome Back

Last time on “ANTM”: The final five had to learn lines in English and Korean for a challenge with Korean soap opera stars. Adam flubbed up, Lenox let her nerves get to her and Keith charmed Clara for the win. Then the guys imitated Elvis while the girls imitated Marilyn Monroe in their photoshoot. Adam surprised everyone by rising to the top while Lenox and Shei landed in the bottom two. In the end, Lenox would go on to represent the girls in the finale. Four finalists remain, who will be crowned America’s Next Top Model? 

Find out!

The final 4 celebrate in their Penthouse. Lenox says she's happy to be the last girl standing but she's really nervous to be the last girl standing. Adam, meanwhile, celebrates getting the best photo last time. He then goes to see what his Tyra treat is as he says everyone's underestimated him. What's his Tyra treat? Candy! And Adam shares.

Keith says that he's surprised to see Adam there due to the drinking. But Adam has curtailed it. This time is more about Keith and his father, who abandoned him and then reconciled with him and then died.

Tyra Mail! "Eye see your beauty." Lenox thinks it's about eye makeup. Lenox talks about her single mother and how much the money could help. The boys ask her what it feels like to be the last girl standing. She says it's amazing. We are going to hear the same things over and over for the next two episode. Will breaks down in confessional about how he believes he's an amazing person now.

CREDITS!

Tyra arrives the next morning. She shouts for them and everyone comes running. Tyra wants to talk about passion and how modeling grew into a passion for her. But her main passion is transformation, which is why she likes makeover week. And why she created a makeup line called Tyra. It's all about beautytainment. Keith guesses this means beauty entertainment. Tyra says that's what Top Model has been about this cycle. Tonight, she will be directing and costarring in a commercial with them. Lenox is nervous because acting isn't her strong suit but she says she needs to suck it up.

Tyra then says they need more females and males. Everyone comes back to help. Will is happy to see Raelia while Keith is like "Not Mirjana." The finalists get to pick who their team is.

Adam: Kari, Denzel, Chantelle
Keith: Mirjana, Shei
Will: Ivy, Raelia
Lenox: Ben, Matt,

The first person picked has a box with a product inside which the finalist will be model. The makeup team comes in to do them up as Tyra's product's theme song plays. Will has a reunion with Raelia and Ivy, feeling good. Tyra meanwhile shills her product as she does Ivy's makeup.

Keith chose Mirjana because of her strong looks and he wants to win. Tyra works on Shei before complimenting Chantelle while working on her.

Kari says she's surprised college kid Adam made this far. Tyra says she's exciting to photograph Kari. Meanwhile, Lenox enjoys her boys. Tyra recalls the "Kiss my fat ass" episode from several years back. As she does Lenox's makeup, Keith and Adam conspire to bring Lenox down.

It's Allison, y'all! Everyone's favorite perpetual runner up! Allison tells them she lives in the Phillippines and models in Manila. Yu Tsai tells them to work it and Tyra reveals they only have seven hours to film.

Keith dances with Shei before hitting wardrobe. He says he has to do well since the last photoshoot didn't go well. And in case anyone cared, Mirjana and Denzel are still a thing. Anyway, Keith is a photographer while Shei is his lip model. Mirjana delivers her lines as they work on Keith's eyes. Keith and Mirjana do lines before he starts dancing.

Everyone goes out to eat and enjoy their final moments together. Keith is worried about elimination. Adam talks about how the girls have won 20 cycles. He seems to insult Lenox as Will talks about his drinking. We do see him drinking something. The label is blurred so it could be root beer for all we know. But he does go on about what he does after hours so maybe he is drinking again.

TYRA MAIL! "Maj-chwo-bwa." We are told it translates to "Guess what?"

The final four goes to panel but Yu Tsai is waiting there. He reveal it's their Guess shot! Yu Tsai loves their panel stage. He talks about being the photographer for Kate Upton's Guess campaign. And he's their photograph now. He says it's full circle--he was their first photographer and he'll be their last. As they hit hair 
and makeup, Keith freaks out. He and Yu Tsai have a love hate relationship. He's not sure how this will go.

Lenox follows and Yu Tsai tells her to exude sexy. She still doesn't think she's sexy but she's going to do her best. Yu Tsai tells her to have confidence. Something happens with her hands and Yu Tsai says she needs to own her confidence.

Keith is last. Will is certain he's going to beat Keith. Keith just wants to surprise Yu Tsai at this photoshoot. I think he succeeded.

He tells them to do a group shot as Tyra enters with the judges. You guys, I think it's an elimination. Tyra reveals she's been watching the entire shoot. I was right! This is an elimination! Yu Tsai shrugs like "Sorry, guys."

ELIMINATION! Best photo goes to...Adam. He is joined by Will. That leaves Keith and Lenox in the bottom two. Who stays? Who goes?

Find out in a few minutes. But Will does whisper, "What just happened?"

I’m wondering why the finale was split into two episodes. My best guess is that it was originally planned to air on separate weeks but then the network decided to air them back-to-back. Anyway, it’s a lot of rehashing of things we’ve heard before during the cycle. It was nice to see everyone together again—usually they only bring back the finalists who went overseas. I had forgotten about a few of them, but it was nice to see Ben and Matthew again. And that Lenox chose both of them.

Stay tuned for Part II later today!
