Yu Tsai greets the models as they arrive at pool. He explains that they are there for their Nylon spread. Lacey feels confident because she beat Mame at the last Nylon challenge. Yu Tsai though says there is no more scoring for the rest of the competition. We’re going old-school and it’s just going to be based on how they do. J. Errico comes back with Mark Hunter “Cobrasnake.” He says they are breaking into the high school that night. Of course, I’m sure they signed off on it.

Mikey climbs the fence and says he and Nyle are neck-in-neck. Nyle says he is nervous to be up against Mikey. He starts to climb the fence and Mikey says Nyle gives the same look. But he does something Yu Tsai likes. Yu Tsai thinks Mikey is struggling as he tries to be natural on set. Cobrasnake says it’s a new experience shooting Nyle because he has to work with an interpreter. He thinks Nyle’s interpreter is a hindrance and a distraction. Because he says Nyle did better when they connected and he didn’t focus on the interpreter. Mikey and Nyle end by jumping into the pool.
It’s time for Lacey vs. Mame. Yu Tsai says that being in the bottom two put a fire under Lacey. She was rocking the shoot. But she just has to work on not being too sleazy instead of sexy. Mame thanks Jesus for Lacey possibly screwing up. Mame says she nailed her shoot but Lacey picked up a dog, being cute. Cobrasnake turns his camera to her and Mame is pissed that Lacey stole her shoot.

It’s a wrap!
At the house, Nyle says it’s a bit awkward because without Devin, the house is so quiet. Meanwhile, Mikey has seen the show enough times to know the eliminated contestants will becoming back to walk the final runway. He says that it’ll be a bit awkward but he’ll deal. Mikey says he had been in relationship for six years but it ended. So now he’s focusing on himself, showing some wisdom when he says he can’t love someone else until he loves himself. Nyle knows Justin really cares for Mame so it’s awkward for him to watch her flirt with Mikey.

She focuses on her goals—model, entrepreneur and humanitarian. Nyle decides to be bold and wants to change the world. Lacey understands branding and she talks about her writing, her blog and opening a fitness business. Why didn’t she pitch THAT a few weeks ago?

Mikey is pretty sure Devin told Justin about what happened between him and Mame. Ashley says there were rumors and she wanted to shoot Mikey. But she says she shouldn’t have expected more. Mame meanwhile goes to talk to Hadassah and asks if Devin had been talking to Justin. She says that he said something happened in the cabin that was more than two people huddling together for warmth.

I’m hoping Nyle and Lacey stomp it out to the end, but it could be Mikey and Mame. I’m a bit sad but excited for the finale. This will be it. No more smizing, no more tooching or booching. What are we going to do?
Next time: It all ends.
