'America's Next Top Model' recap: Ivan Bart

[America's Next Top Model – Season 16 Episode 12]

The girls return back to their apartments excited about Alexandria's elimination, but all are worried about being in the final three. Hannah was worried about how she wasn't consistent in her photos and she hoped that she could get out of her small town. The girls speculated about being in the final two, while they talked about their backgrounds. Molly is convinced that because of her adoptions, she deserves to win.

The girls get a Tyra Mail about being inside out and about. The next day the girls met Jay and played a video of the Insider. Lara Spencer explained that the girls would have to report a trend in Morocco. They had an hour of research to make 90 seconds. The winner will be on theinsider.com. The three packets were Black Kohl, Henna, and Argan Oil. Jay reminds the girls that the three W's: Where, What, and Why?

The girls take a trip around Morocco and Molly arrives in a spice shop. Her expert explains that Blak Kohl is a stone. The girls have trouble looking for an interviewee that speaks English. Brittani stresses out and found a random guy, but he didn't speak English. Hannah has a decent shot with her journalism classes. Brittani was stressed as well as Molly. They all hope that the other girls cave under pressure.

The girls return from their shoots and meet Jay to analyze the shoots. Brittani worried about getting the area ready, wasted time walking down a hallway, and had a weak interview. Jay had some minor positives but he pointed out that she didn't use the expert. Molly had a bit of issues with interviews and then ended a bit too early. Hannah's interview was decent even though she had time management issues. From the videos, Jay announced the winner was Molly. Hannah was upset with the loss because she was really feeling the challenge.

Tyra arrived at the house and she talked to the girls about home, stress, and emotions. Tyra managed to recreate her talk show for a few minutes by interviewing each of the girls and making them cry by talking about their background. She transitions that the girls' struggles are an important thing. The girls then got a quick photograph with Tyra. The shots were like her seasons where Tyra pretended to be a photographer, except now her photos have a bit of color. Tyra then explained about isolating their bodies so different body parts would move but others wouldn't. The girls went up to the roof and had some time to dance and have a fun time.

The girls received a Tyra Mail about being committed. The following day the girls got on a bus to their photoshoot. Brittani wasn't feeling well on the way. Jay and Nigel Barker explained that the girls would be doing a shoot with a male model, wearing traditional wedding outfits. The girls got their hair and makeup done. The girls met Younes Tazi, the male model, and talked about making sure they had chemistry. Molly was worried about the male model. Nigel emphasized that he just wanted emotions. Molly struggled with the proximity of the male model; she had no chemistry with him. Molly was upset and cried after the shoot.

Hannah tried the concept of struggle, but she had a bit of anger in her face. There was chemistry, but her facial emotions needed some help. Brittani was last and she had an idea of second-guessing the marriage. Brittani didn't have connection with the model and Jay warned her to connect with the emotions. She started crying to get real emotions.

The girls arrived at judging and Tyra introduced the prizes and the judges: Nigel Barker, Andre Leon Talley, and guest judge Ivan Bart. Tyra announced that the girls had two photos. The judging started with Brittani. Her first shot was a bit too literal for Nigel, but Andre liked the gentleness. As for her second shot, it looked great because she cried right before it. Hannah's story was pulling away, Andre loved the first shot's angles. Tyra pointed out that loving the clothes is good. Hannah loves being unique, Nigel warned her about being too emotional. Hannah's second shot got compliments from Ivan. Molly's first shot was very strong and the shape of her body was very good. Nigel loved Molly's second shot because of the collaborative nature between the model and the photographer.

After judging, Tyra announced the top photo was Molly. The bottom two was obviously Hannah and Brittani. After a long deliberation, Hannah got compliments about her strong face, but they questioned her strength. Brittani started off strong, but her photos have gotten weaker in the international setting. Tyra announced that Brittani was the last finalist. Hannah was thankful for her time being on the show as she hugged all the girls and Tyra.
