ANTM: Journey’s End

Last time on “ANTM:” The final four shot mock covers for Nylon magazine and let the public pick their favorite. Most people went for Nyle and only a few chose Mame. Tyra then dropped by to visit the models and introduced them to her mother, who was their photographer for the photoshoot. But there was more! They would be posing with their own mothers. There were tearful reunions all around and the models enjoyed being with their mothers. At panel, Mame ended up being the first one called safe while Nyle soon joined her. Mikey and Lacey ended up having a tied score, leaving their fate in the hands of the judges. They decided to put both through, but there’s only two spots in the finale—one boy, one girl. Who will make it?

Find out!

Mame admires her picture and feels glad to have been able to spend time with her mother. She goes up to the Tyra Suite for her TyTyTip. Tyra tells her to let it go like her mother and her pictures will be amazing.

Mikey talks about how he was psyched out last panel when he thought he was eliminated. Mame says she got a little choked up when he sunk to the floor in tears. He says he wants to change his family’s life. Mikey realizes his only competition now is Nyle because they are competing for the  same spot. He says he’s evil now.

Nyle talks about his mother and crying at panel. He says that he’s there to be a model and because he can win. Being deaf is just part of him. Lacey talks about her period of self-doubt and the confidence now. She says it’s now her and Nyle vs. Mikey and Mame. Lacey admits that she and Nyle have been growing closer and there’s attraction there. She says it’s just been the two of them while Mikey has been with Ashley, Hadassah and Mame, who has also been with Justin. Lacey says they are distracted.

Meanwhile, Mame and Mikey talk about what she’s going to tell Justin when it’s over. Especially the night in the cabin. She says she really wants Justin but she doesn’t want to hurt him. Mame worries that Devin will say something to Justin in the eliminated house. I’d be more worried about Hadassah.

ANTM: Mother's Day

Last time on “ANTM:” The models were given a chance to create their own business ideas and pitch them to a panel of entrepreneurs. Including Tyra. Mame bombed it while Mikey won. Next, they then went to the woods to take pictures in the dark. Lacey struggled as did Nyle but Mame and Mikey hit their stride. At panel, Mikey got best photo while Devin and Lacey fell in the bottom two. In the end, Devin was cut. Four models remain. Who will be eliminated tonight?

Find out!

Mikey goes home to celebrate his first picture call out. He goes to see his TyTyTip. Tyra tells him to rock his brand—chilling on the beach—but to remember to be high fashion. Meanwhile, Mikey and Mame flirt but Mame insists that she wants Justin. Really? Because this doesn’t look like it. Mikey says he just wants to stay focused now.

Lacey, Nyle and Mame sit down in the living room to discuss being part of the FINAL four. We’re so close to the end of it all, you guys. Lacey says this is all her dreams coming true and Mame talks about her childhood again.

ANTM: The Dark I Know Well

Last time on “ANTM:” The remaining six contestants got to visit Zappos and do a runway challenge for them. After that, they created Fierce-o-grams, where the close up looks all innocent but the full picture tells the real story. That comes complete with a rooster named Maverick. Meanwhile, Hadassah and Mame were flirting with Mikey, who had a falling out with Devin. Everyone returned to LA for judging, where Mame rose to the top while Hadassah and Devin fell into the bottom two. Finally, Hadassah was ousted. Five models remain. Who will be eliminated tonight?

Find out!

The final five return to their LA home and admire Mame’s picture. She heads up to the Tyra Suite for her TyTyTip. Tyra tells her that she often wants more from Mame and notes that she has a very commanding presence. Tyra wants her to use that in her next photoshoot.

The five are amazed to realize it’s just them and Mikey says that he was the first person in his family to graduate high school and the first man not to end up in prison. He says he feels like he’s the last one with the chance to do anything great and the fact he made it this far reinforces that. Mame says it feels like they are on some island and have to rely on each other.

We then cut back to last panel, or more accurately, what happened after it. Tyra tells the remaining five that she sees entrepreneurs when she looks at them. She says modeling can only pay the bills for so long. They have to come up with an idea that they can market. Good luck, models.

ANTM: Work the Room

Last time on “ANTM”: It was forever ago, right? Well, the models made it to Vegas and settled into their new penthouse. Don from Cycle 20 showed up to judge a challenge, which Mame won. Hadassah wondered why Dustin was back and took delight when he botched the music video. But she didn’t do so hot either, landing in the bottom two with him. But she was spared once more and Dustin was sent packing. Again. Six models remain—who will be eliminated this week?

Find out!

The models return to their penthouse to see Mikey’s face on their screen. He announces that he’ll be sharing the Tyra Suite by himself and tells Lacey to get her (bleeped) out. Charming. His TyTyTip is that he does well with motion so to try to use it at his next photoshoot.

Mikey goes to the Tyra Suite and says Ashley would’ve liked it. But he confesses that Ashley is gone, they weren’t dating, so it seems Mikey is going to go find another girl. I hope Ashley hasn’t contacted him since the cycle ended.

Hadassah talks about her critique from the panel and talks about being really far away from the pageant world now. Mame doesn’t look convinced. She then tells Lacey that she looks the same in every shot and Devin says that they are sick of Lacey winning. He thinks there’s some favoritism going on and Lacey insists she works hard. We see her TyTyTip from forever ago where Tyra tells her not to let the others get to her.

Mame and Hadassah take over the Tyra Suite. He jumps in between them and assumes they are there for sex. Hadassah seems down with it.

ANTM: Shake Ya Booty

Last time on “ANTM:” The models went on go-sees but were surprised when they were paired with the seven eliminated models. Kelly revealed that the eliminated models would remain with them for the week and that at panel, one of the remaining models would be eliminated…but an eliminated model would come back. After posing with dogs, everyone waited to find out their fate. Dustin was the one to come back into the competition. Devin and Justin fell into the bottom two as Tyra revealed everyone safe will be going to Vegas. So who is packing for Vegas and who is packing for home?

Find out!

We pick up where we left off. So who is going home instead of to Las Vegas?

Justin.

Tyra tells Justin that he started to lose his swagger and next to the other strong competitors, he began to fade away. Justin thanks her, says goodbye to Mame and tearfully tells the camera that he just hopes his parents are proud of him. Oh, and he wants to continue his relationship with Mame.

ANTM: Going to the Dogs

Last time on "ANTM:" The models learned how to use Vine to film videos promoting girls going into STEM fields. Courtney continued to struggle with her self-confidence and Bello seemed incapable of accepting any responsibility for his shortcomings. They then posed as dolls before learning that two models would be eliminated at panel. Lacey once again rose to the top while Devin, Courtney and Bello fell into the bottom three. Devin was spared as Bello and Courtney were both sent home. Seven models remain, who is eliminated tonight? 

Find out! 

Everyone returns to the house to see Lacey’s best picture…again. She realizes everyone is getting sick of her winning. Devin points out that there’s only seven of them left and everyone is surprised that their numbers have dwindled so fast. Justin talks about how everyone is stepping it up and he talks about how his parents weren’t thrilled with his career choice but that they came around.

Hadassah talks about how she and Bello left things in a bad place and she wishes she would’ve known why he had acted like that toward. She also talks about how everyone underestimates her. Hadassah talks about having to deal with going down a socio-economic level when her parents left her with relatives and she says she worked so she could buy her siblings presents. So she wants the money for herself and for them.

In the Tyra Suite, Lacey’s TyTyTip is to not let her fellow contestants’ get to her because they are jealous and consider her a threat.

ANTM: Welcome to the Dollhouse

Last time on “ANTM:” The models had an acting challenge where Devin and Ashley failed to impress the CW executives. After a night trying to use ASL, the models felt they had a better understanding of Nyle. They then filmed a commercial on the beach. Lacey rose to the top again while Devin and Ashley fell into the bottom two. In the end, Ashley was eliminated. Nine models remain—who is eliminated tonight?

Find out!

Lacey goes into the Tyra Suite to get her TyTyTip. She warns her not to get too sleazy when getting too sexy. So she gives Lacey some tips as Lacey says she feels some jealous eyes on her now.
Mikey and Devin stare at a picture of Ashley. Mikey is heartbroken and Devin says DMA took a big hit. Now they’re just DM. Devin says he has to try and reign himself.

Meanwhile, Bello asks Courtney if she wants to go back to Mikey now that Ashley is gone. She starts laughing and she reveals that she has a crush on him. Don’t do it, Courtney! You’re better than him! She skips around the house in a dress she borrowed from Hadassah. Mikey says he only likes her as a friend and Devin says she would bring them down. They leave her alone.

Hadassah confides in Justin and Mame (shocker, I know) about Bello, saying that she feels he liked her better when she wasn’t doing well. And now that she’s doing better than him, she’s not sure where he stands with her. Bello meanwhile soaks in the hot tub and says he liked getting a 10 from Tyra. He focuses on that and says he’s going to win and he’s coming after everyone. As he walks while staring at himself in the mirror. He might be practicing his angles, but seriously, Narcissus?

ANTM: Fooling Around

Last time on “ANTM:” Things got tense between Mame and Hadassah, with arguments that went into three rounds. Meanwhile, Ava decided she was through with the drama and felt drained.
Cycle 10 winner Whitney Thompson stopped by to help with their challenge—creating a campaign for SimplyBe. Nyle won the challenge and he celebrated. Courtney struggled and got overpowered by Devin. She and Ava were quite shaken. Everyone had to pretend to be possessed by high fashion for the main photoshoot. Nyle managed to also get the first callout while Ava and Courtney fell into the bottom two. In the end, Ava’s confidence sent her home. Ten models remain, who will be eliminated tonight?

Find out!

Everyone returns home as Nyle goes to the Tyra Suite. In her video, Tyra does some sign language before turning it over to Ramon. She tells him not to get stuck in fine and to be fierce. Lacey says that Nyle is a good model but that he’s getting frustrated with all the fighting, feeling lost. You’re not missing much, Nyle. Trust me.

Courtney and Mame read a card left on Nyle’s bed with him, saying that he should be prepared for an evening of “signing and dining” with his fellow models. I’m intrigued. Go on. He says that he’s interested because he feels he struggles with communicating in the house. That when he’s surrounded by the deaf community, he’s pretty popular but that he’s having difficulty being surrounded by hearing people all the time.

Bello and Hadassah discusses his look for the next day and he says that he’s serious about the competition, unlike some other people. Yep, it’s time for Bello’s Whine about DMA this week! He once again notes that Ashley has joined the “Mean Girl clique” and that they are cocky and loud.

But Ashley says she doesn’t want to get too cocky because she needs to stay focused. Ashley talks about her sister Ming-Ming and wanting to start over, to let her walls down and move on as a person she is proud to be.

ANTM: Call the Exorcist!

Last time on “ANTM:” Bello and Mikey nearly got into a fight and then later on, he got pissed off when Courtney told Ava something he said. The models learned about covering up their flaws to prevent the need for retouches. At panel, Lacey came out on top while Hadassah and Dustin fell into the bottom. His good looks couldn’t save him and Dustin was sent packing. Eleven models remain, who will go home tonight?

Find out!

The models return home and Lacey celebrates her photo and notes it was au naturel. Lacey invites Nyle to join her in the Tyra Suite and he talks about having to step up his game and bring it in his confessional. As he and Lacey celebrate, Mikey says that he’s coming for her and that being deaf may make some people avoid hiring Nyle.

Upstairs, Ava asks Courtney not to tell her if anyone is talking behind her back again. She says it hurt her and Courtney says that starting that day, she was going to stay out of house drama. Bello, though, calls Courtney sneaky and says she listens to people’s conversations and then goes to tell the person they don’t like. We see clips from last week as Ava reinforces that she doesn’t want the drama, that it’s too draining. Courtney agrees.

Ava talks about her life and about being home schooled. She says she’s experiencing the outside world for the first time and she can’t handle the drama. She needs to pull herself back.

ANTM: Touchy, Touchy


Last time on “ANTM”: Devin continued to be loud and some new romances started to form. The models took photos with some veterans before heading toward everyone’s favorite time of the season: makeovers! Most people liked their makeovers, Ava is the only one who came out with a questionable one and Hadassah had the hissy fit over the fact that Tyra wanted to shave half her head. She was about to quit but Miss J convinced her to go through with it. At panel, Ava rose to the top while Hadassah and Stefano fell into the bottom two. Hadassah was given a second week to rock her shaved head as Stefano was eliminated. Twelve models remain, who will be eliminated tonight? Find out!

At the house, some of the models play beer pong. Dustin and Nyle seem to have a bromance going on. Dustin even learned some sign language to have conversations with Nyle. Nyle thinks that Dustin’s a cool dude and just needs to step up his game so he can continue on in the competition.

Devin and Mikey take to the runway to teach everyone how to walk better. Uh, isn’t that Miss J’s job? They even mock some eliminated semi-finalists walks. Ashley jumps up to join them and Bello calls them the “Mean Girl clique.” Devin calls them DMA (Devin Mikey Ashley) and Mikey says they are a modeling gang and will take on any other gangs out there.

We get some footage of the developing romances—Justin and Mame sharing a bed as Mikey shares one with Ashley. Though Ashley claims Mikey jumped into bed with her. Bello has the bed next to hers and says he needs eight hours of sleep. He says he starts to hear moaning and we cut to night cam to see him pushing Ashley’s bed away from his. He says he doesn’t want to be touched and they ask him who is touch him. He continues going on and Mikey jumps up, getting in his face and cursing. Bello taunts him to “knock him out” as we go to CREDITS!

ANTM: Hair for Days

Last time “ANTM:” The 21 contestants discovered who was staying and who was going. The top 14 returned to their house before being paired up for photoshoots. At home, Mikey showed his true colors to Courtney and that friendship flamed out. Devin was crazy, Bello continued to hate him and Hadassah was just annoying. At panel, Devin rose to the top while Delanie and Stefano fell into the bottom. In the end, Delanie was sent home and Stefano given a second chance to prove he’s not just an accessory. Thirteen models remain, who will be eliminated tonight?

Find out!

Devin goes back to the house to celebrate his best shot. Everyone gathers into the Tyra Suite to see Tyra’s video. She gives him a tytytip about his strengths and weaknesses. Meanwhile, Bello still hates Devin.

There’s Team DMA—Devin, Mikey, and Ashley. Devin says Ashley and Mikey like each other. Ashley confirms it…as does them getting pretty cuddly in the confessional…and the tub.

TYRA MAIL! “A hero never gives up.” Hadassash thinks it means acting. She says she can’t worry about what everyone thinks of her. You might want to care a bit. Hadassah revealed she was in a school play as Sandy in Grease. There’s something about Devin being a scarecrow, so she dressed as one with Bello of course playing along as Dorothy. Devin reveals he doesn’t like Hadassah and he confronts her. He says she doesn’t have any friends and that she acts like she’s better than anybody. She says she never announced it because she would never say that…even if it was true. You just proved Devin’s point. Brava. Devin says she’s a pageant girl and not a model as we cut to…CREDITS!

ANTM: No Neck Monster

Last time on Top Model: The top 22 finalists moved into their house, designed by the Property Brothers. Hadassah did nothing to endear herself to the others by calling a house meeting and explaining everything that she didn’t like. The next day, they had their first photoshoot but Alexa decided to call quits before it. Kelly even begged her to stay!

After the photoshoot, the judges whittled down the group to the 14 finalists. So the 21 remaining hopefuls were brought to a shipyard where they were told that they would walk a high-flying catwalk. Those who were chosen would make it across safely and the seven not chosen would be “dropped” (lowered down). Who made it? Who was dropped? Find out!

Wanna be on top?

We return to the shipyard where Alexis Borges repeats the challenge. He then tells the models that he’ll be watching so pretty much don’t screw this up. But they all seem to be freaking out about being suspended over the ground and frankly, who could blame them? Devin meanwhile goes on about how needs this show to make a name for himself.

Debatable.

ANTM: Strike a Pose

ANTM: Somewhere in the Middle

Cycle 22. Wow, you guys. Can you believe it? I know I can’t. I also realized I’ve been watching the show for ten years now—I started watching in fall 2005. It’s been a trip.

Well, let’s start this cycle and see what Tyra and co. have in store for us this go-round.

Wanna be on top?

I missed the first three minutes and apparently missed most of the guys entering. I enter with Nyle introducing himself…and Ramon, his interpreter. Nyle’s deaf and communicates using ASL. Well okay then. This should be interesting and I have a feeling I’m going to be jealous of him since he won’t be able to hear all the drama and ridiculousness contestants are known to spew.

ANTM: Let’s Hear It For the Boy

This past cycle on “ANTM”: It was another cycle of girls vs. boys! Romeo seemed to have an eerie power to send people home…until he broke the show’s “no physical contact” rule and got himself eliminated. Mirjana fell in love with Matthew until he rejected her after learning she had a boyfriend. Then she moved on to Denzel while Kari and Keith started flirting before she was eliminated. Chantelle was brought back before the models went to South Korea. Tyra addressed Adam’s drinking while the models didn’t like Chantelle. It’s boiled down to four finalists, but when we last left off only a few minutes ago, someone was about to go—Lenox or Keith. Who will get to walk in the final runway and compete for the (dubious) honor of “America’s Next Top Model”?

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?

ANTM: LINE!

Last time on “ANTM”: Chantelle continued to rub everyone the wrong way. Kelly set the models loose on Seoul for go-sees. Chantelle didn’t win many people over and Will was too tall for the clothes. Keith and Lenox did the best but Keith won the challenge. After a photoshoot for shoes, Keith continued to stay at the top. Adam and Chantelle fell into the bottom and Chantelle was eliminated for a second time. Five models remain, who will be eliminated tonight? Find out!

Ms. J pays a visit to the Model Suite! He tells them about Korean soap operas. And the models are going to be in one. Lenox is not thrilled about that, saying she gets nervous. Ms. J then reveals some of the script is in Korean. Keith is nervous about not remembering but he vows to make them like him. Ms. J tells them they are the top 5, the competition is on and they are not friends now. He wishes them luck.

Everyone studies their script. Will says he has to pretend to be straight again and is nervous. Adam is focused and says he can memorize lines easily. He celebrates that he doesn’t need the script and everyone is like “Wha?” Will and Lenox think he’s going to get in his own way.

Last time on “ANTM:” The models landed in Seoul! Adam began drinking on the plane and didn’t stop. After Raelia won a dance challenge, the models checked out their new digs.

ANTM: Shake It Off

Last week on “ANTM:” Recap episode!

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!

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!”

ANTM: Gloves On!

Last week on “ANTM”: Ms. J showed up for a private lesson with Lenox, Shei and Raelia. He then revealed they would all be going to Style Fashion Week and everyone freaked out. Betsey Johnson was one of the four designers casting for runway. In the end, everyone but Denzel was cast in at least one show. The models than did a photoshoot for some hair products. Mirjana annoyed everyone on set as she fought with partner Keith. At panel, Will rose to the top while Lenox and Denzel fell into the bottom. Denzel was ultimately eliminated. But there was more! Tyra brought in the eliminated contestants, saying it was time to reveal the results of the comeback competition. Social media brought back Chantelle and Ben. But wait! There’s more! Tyra only has one ticket to Seoul, so one of them isn’t really coming back. Who gets to stay? Who has to go? Find out!

Wanna be on top?

Ben and Chantelle hug each other as they await to learn their fate. Who stays? Chantelle! I called it! Ben congratulates her with a hug and then Tyra congratulates her with her own hug. Chantelle is so grateful to the fans and vows to win. Adam believes Chantelle is now a threat and Shei agrees. But Shei says Chantelle didn’t even look at the other contestants when she was eliminated and calls her a sore loser. Tyra reveals there is still a challenge and photoshoot standing between them and Seoul. Only seven models will go to South Korea. Someone will be eliminated and there is no second chance. Everyone looks serious.
