Let's Talk About America's Next Top Model Cycle 24 Episode 12

Let's talk about America's Next Top Model cycle 24 episode 12, "Beauty Is A Comeback". VH1's episode description for this week reads:

The final four's livelihoods come into question when the eliminated contestants return to battle it out for a chance to return to the competition: show legends join the models.

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 Elliot and the girl that went home in episode 10 here (spoiler: it was Jeana).

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.
