Ep 13. Beauty is Commercial

In season 24 of America's Next Top Model, episode 13 titled "Beauty is Commercial," the remaining models are put to the test as they embark on their final challenge. The episode opens with Tyra Banks visiting the models in their hotel room to congratulate them on making it this far in the competition and to prepare them for their last task. Tyra explains that fashion is not just about looking pretty, but it's also a business, and the models need to be able to sell the clothing they wear.

The models meet with the CEO of Pantene, a major hair care brand that sponsors the show. The CEO explains that they will be shooting a commercial for the brand's new line of hair care products. Before the shoot, the models head to wardrobe to try on clothes that will complement the brand's ad campaign. They're given edgy outfits and have their hair and makeup styled to fit in with the brand's image.

On set, the models are introduced to the commercial's director, who explains that they will have to deliver an improvised monologue during the shoot. The director stresses that the models' ability to sell the product through their monologue will be a crucial factor in deciding who will win the competition.

First up is Khyrstyana, who is excited to show off her acting skills. She struggles with the monologue at first but eventually gets the hang of it. Jeana is up next, and despite her initial nervousness, she gives a solid performance. Shanice struggles with her delivery, and the director encourages her to channel a more confident, empowered version of herself. Shanice takes the feedback to heart and delivers a much stronger performance.

The remaining models, Rio and Kyla, also have their turns on set. Rio struggles somewhat with the monologue, but ultimately delivers a convincing performance. Kyla, who has always been a bit shy, impresses the director with her natural acting ability.

After the shoot, the models meet with Tyra to discuss their performances. Tyra congratulates them on their hard work and gives them some last-minute tips on presenting themselves in a commercial setting. She also addresses any concerns they may have about their performances, offering advice on how to emote more convincingly.

The models must now wait for their commercial to be edited and aired. While waiting, they share their thoughts on the competition and how much they have grown since the beginning. They express gratitude for the experience of being on the show and for the friendships they've formed along the way.

Finally, at the end of the episode, the models gather to watch their commercial on television. They're all excited to see their hard work pay off, and the commercial itself looks stunning. The models have successfully embodied the brand's image and sold the product beautifully.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger as the models prepare for the final runway show and elimination. They know that only one of them will be crowned America's Next Top Model, and the pressure is on to deliver their best performance yet. Will they rise to the occasion and secure their place in modeling history, or will they fall short at the last hurdle? Only time will tell.
