Cycle 9 - The Girls Go To The Great Wall
The final four fly to Beijing, where they are introduced to traditional Chinese folklore. The next day, they participate in a challenge in which they must turn a traditional Chinese garment into their own style. During the task, Bianca purposefully gives Jenah bad advice, so when the latter is declared the winner, she instead chooses Chantal to share her prize of custom-made cheongsams.
The girls then travel to the Great Wall for a warrior-themed photo shoot that is photographed by Tyra herself. While Tyra is generally positive about the girls’ performances, she shows concern over Jenah’s identity crisis and Bianca’s stiff poses. The shoot concludes with a final group shot.
At panel, all the photos are greeted with positive reviews, and Tyra confesses that her opinions about the girls have changed after photographing them. Chantal’s ability to stand out in the group photo, and Saleisha’s creativity at the shoot advances them to the final three. Jenah explains that she was homesick but cared greatly about the competition, and Bianca argued that she had consistently improved. In the end, Bianca is eliminated for not demonstrating the same innate talent as the other finalists.
