Ep 4. The Girl Who Has a Close Shave

In season 22 episode 4 of America's Next Top Model, titled "The Girl Who Has a Close Shave," the contestants are in for a makeover challenge that will test their ability to adapt to new looks. With the help of celebrity hairstylist, Oribe, the girls are given dramatic haircuts that range from a pixie cut to a bowl cut. This sudden change in appearance causes some of the models to feel insecure and unsure of how they will be perceived by the judges.

Before the photo shoot, the contestants must participate in a runway challenge where they must walk the catwalk in a unique setting. This week's runway is set in a subway station, and the models must strut their stuff while navigating through the busy commuters around them. Some girls excel at the challenge, while others struggle to maintain their composure under pressure.

Following the runway challenge, the models head to the photo shoot where they must embody the persona of a bald eagle. The concept is to showcase the beauty of bald eagles and highlight their importance in American culture. The girls must pose with a live bald eagle and use their bodies to emulate the eagle's movements and expressions.

Throughout the episode, tensions rise between certain contestants as they struggle to adapt to their new looks and personalities. Some girls are unhappy with the drastic change in their appearance, while others embrace the challenge and thrive in their new roles.

At the end of the episode, the judges critique each model's performance in the runway challenge and photo shoot. The judges are impressed with some of the models' ability to take on a new look and embody the persona of the bald eagle, but others fall short and are in danger of elimination.

In the end, one contestant is sent home, and the others are left to continue on their journey to becoming America's Next Top Model.
