Ep 8. The Girls Who Made It This Far

The Girls Who Made It This Far is the eighth episode of season 7 of America's Next Top Model. The episode opens with the recap of the previous week's episode in which the remaining models had to pose as different ethnicities for a photoshoot. The week's challenge involves the models getting a crash course in acting and then being asked to perform a scene with an actor.

The models will be judged on their acting skills, as well as their ability to bring out an emotional connection in the scene. The stakes are high as the winner of the challenge gets immunity from being eliminated that week. The girls go through an intensive acting coaching session prior to their scene. The acting coach works with each girl individually to elicit a performance that would show their emotional range.

Later, the models meet with Tyra Banks, who reveals the details of their photo shoot for the week. The models will be posing in a campaign for Covergirl Cosmetics. The models are ecstatic but also nervous since they know how important a Covergirl campaign can be for their career. Tyra explains that the models will be incorporating the color green into their looks since it's the signature color of Covergirl. The girls then head to wardrobe to pick out their outfits.

The photo shoot goes smoothly for most of the girls, but some struggle with incorporating the green into their looks and poses. Jay Manuel and the other judges analyze each photo to find the best shot, and the competitors eagerly await their critiques.

When it's time for elimination, the models are gathered in the judging room, and the judges begin to deliberate. They review the acting challenge and the Covergirl photoshoot and assess each model's performance. The judges express both positive and negative feedback on the models' performances, leaving the girls on edge.

Eventually, the bottom two models are revealed, and they must face each other in a runway walk-off. After the walk, Tyra Banks makes the final decision on who gets to remain in the competition and who gets eliminated. The eliminated model can only say their goodbyes to their fellow competitors and depart from the competition.

The episode comes to a close with a preview of the next episode, teasing the challenges and twists to come. Fans are left eagerly waiting for the next episode to see what will happen next in the competition.
