In America's Next Top Model season 9 episode 12, titled "The Girls Go to the Great Wall," the remaining models jet off to their international destination, China. The girls are ecstatic to immerse themselves in Chinese culture and explore the sights and sounds of the bustling city of Beijing. Upon arriving, they are greeted by two of China's most iconic landmarks - the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City.
The girls get to work right away, as they are quickly thrown into a challenge where they must navigate through the labyrinth of alleyways in a traditional Chinese market, haggling with locals and collecting as many items from their scavenger hunt list as possible. The winner of the challenge will receive an advantage in the upcoming photoshoot.
The following day, the models take on the biggest photoshoot of the competition so far, with legendary fashion photographer Nigel Barker behind the lens. The shoot takes place at the Great Wall of China, and the models are dressed in intricate, voluminous couture gowns. The challenge for the models is to capture the beauty of the Chinese culture by embodying the four elements of nature - earth, wind, fire, and water.
As the models pose atop the Great Wall of China, their gowns billowing in the wind, tensions start to rise between the girls. With only a few weeks left in the competition, the pressure is at an all-time high, and the girls are all vying for the top spot.
After the shoot, the judges meet with the girls to critique their photos and decide who will be eliminated next. The competition has been tough, and each week the judges have been forced to say goodbye to some of the most talented models in the group. The final elimination is no exception, and tensions are high as the judges deliberate.
In the end, only three models are left standing, and they are on their way to the final challenge. Who will be crowned America's Next Top Model? Tune in to find out!
