'America's Next Top Model' season 22 episode 9 spoilers and episode 8 recap: Bello and Courtney are sent home
On the next episode of "America's Next Top Model" entitled "The Guy or Girl Who Came Back," previously eliminated contestants may earn the chance to come back in the competition.
In the promo for the episode, the remaining contestants will go on some go-sees and they will be paired up with a previously eliminated contestant who might get the chance to come back. The return of the eliminated contestants will cause tension among the remaining competing contestants. Bello and Hadassah might even fight and possibly end their friendship. It would seem that the photo shoot will involve dogs.
The preceding episode began where things left off right after the panel in which Lacey won best photo again. Mikey began to change for the better and started apologizing to other people for his past behavior. Courtney made an effort to get close to Mikey again but was rebuffed.
The challenge was to create a vine video that would inspire young girls. There were three teams. Team Power consisted of Bello, Devin, and Courntney. Team Respect consisted of Hadassah, Mame, and Mikey. Team Money consisted of Nyle, Justin, and Lacey. Team Respect won the challenge with their funny approach, but Team Power had the lowest scores from the challenge, due to their technical issues.
Courtney was feeling guilty for bringing her team down and so she decided to throw a party for Devin. The party was going well until Devin took Nyle's phone in order to take selfies. This made Nyle feel left out because he could not communicate and he left the party early. The other contestants realized that they alienated Nyle and they apologized to him.
At the photo shoot, the models became life-sized dolls. Nyle, Lacey, Mame, and Justin did well during the photo shoot, while Bello, Courtney, and Hadassah struggled. During panel, the judges sang the praises of Lacey and Nyle. Lacey won best photo yet again. In the end, Bello and Courtney were eliminated.
"America's Next Top Model" will now air on Fridays.
