Let's Talk About America's Next Top Model Cycle 24 Episode 8

Let's talk about America's Next Top Model cycle 24 episode 8, "Beauty Is Social". The remaining 7 contestants will be testing their social media chops this week, taking on media maven roles to compete in a digital campaign for supermodel Jourdan Dunn's Londunn clothing line.

Also, if you missed it last week, you can catch up on what happened here. Don't forget that VH1 has this cycle's episodes on their website, within a day or two of airing. And you can watch the interview segment with judge Drew and the girl that went home in episode 7 here.

As a reminder, prizes for the winner of this cycle of America's Next Top Model include a cover and spread with Paper magazine, modeling contract with Next Management, and the new twist this year: an ANTM mobile game where the winner will be an avatar along with Tyra, and $100k from Pantene.
