The remaining three girls are put to the test when they have to shoot a commercial and have a photoshoot for CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara. It is revealed that the winner of the cycle will have her ad on a billboard in Times Square. During the commercial, all of the girls struggle with their lines, but still manage to look like real CoverGirls. All of the girls do well in the black and white photoshoot.

During judging, the judges love Whitney’s commercial and deem her photo stellar, while they are not impressed by Fatima’s robotic performance in her commercial. Anya’s commercial is described overall as a “trainwreck” but that is overlooked by her personality on film, while Paulina thinks her photo looked “stupid”.

After deliberation, it is announced Nigel Barker will be shooting the Seventeen magazine cover. Anya is called first, leaving Fatima and Whitney in the bottom two, both for the fourth time. The judges decide to send Fatima home.

The final two compete against each other in Versace gowns, with their outfits handpicked by Donatella Versace. During the final deliberation, Whitney was told she did a very good job except that she forgot to pose at the end of the runway. Anya was told she didn’t walk as strong as she could have but she still looked stunning on the runway.

In the end, Whitney is crowned America’s Next Top Model, making her the first full-figured winner and the second blonde winner, the first being Caridee English Cycle 7.
