She is suddenly overcome with the feeling that she is “ugly” and “different,” and it’s unfortunate that someone who’s been so strong and positive is faltering emotionally just before the finish line.

Khrystyana, who can almost sense the ludicrous injustice that is about to befall her, weeps to herself in front of the confessional cam, alarming Kyla and Shanice. At the fitting, Shanice still struggles with her supermodel runway walk, but she isn’t the one who breaks down when the girls return home. The episode opens on the final iteration of the True Top Four being told that they will soon be joining dumb lame Philipp to prepare for their final runway challenge, and that there will also be one last shoot for Paper magazine to determine who wins the whole shebang. So cool, Philipp! Slay, pig! Next-level fierce! Let’s get through this finale, which only manages to be slightly less boring than the rest of the season’s nonsense by resorting to horrendously tone-deaf stunts.

Coming up with a rhinestone-studded rose 18 years too late apparently gives him license to publicly insult women (and get paid for it) so that they stumble at the finish line in their addled states. Philipp Plein is dumb and lame, as we’ve previously established, who hasn’t evolved past designing overpriced rags for wealthy, unsuspecting Balts. In a bizarre, convoluted, and self-congratulatory finale to a season that was all of those things, it’s inspiring that the cycle’s undisputed front-runner could be felled by the lazy insults of a tacky-ass Damien Hirst wannabe.
