Ep 9. The Guy Or Girl Who Came Back

In America's Next Top Model season 22 episode 9, titled "The Guy Or Girl Who Came Back," the remaining contestants face a new challenge with a surprise twist. One previously eliminated model returns to the competition and joins the others in a photo shoot that tests their ability to work in pairs.

The shoot involves the models portraying different versions of themselves, including a younger and older version. They are paired up with their respective former competitors, and each duo must work together to create a cohesive final image. The judges pay close attention to how well each pair is able to work together and collaborate on the shoot.

In addition to the photo shoot, the models receive a lesson on how to market themselves in the fashion industry. They learn about branding and how to make themselves stand out in a crowded field. The contestants are then tasked with creating their own branding materials and presenting them to the judges.

The judges also take a closer look at the models' overall performance throughout the competition thus far. They review their past photo shoots, challenges, and runway walks, and assess how much the contestants have improved since the beginning of the season.

As always, the judges deliberate and choose one model to be eliminated from the competition. With the return of an eliminated contestant, tensions are high as the models compete for a chance to continue on in the competition and potentially become America's Next Top Model.
