‘ANTM’ Season 24, Episode 6 Spoilers: ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Queens Join Competition
Coura may be gone as of Tuesday night’s “America’s Next Top Model” episode, but there are still 10 models fighting for the crown. Next week, though, they’ll have a few more competitors for that royal headwear.
In a sneak-peek clip of episode 6 of Season 24, titled “Beauty is Pride,” the contestants are set to take part in LA Pride week. They’ll walk a rainbow runway for designer Christian Cowan for their challenge and will pose with royalty for their photo shoot.
“Today we have our photo shoot and I know that I didn’t do very well in the challenge and it’s pride week and it’s bigger than what I am and so I want to kill it today,” Kyla says right before she’s told what the shoot entails.
Judge Drew Elliott explains to the models that they will be “posing as royalty,” joking just prior that, “in continuing to celebrate pride, I can promise you, today will not be a drag.”
It will have drag queens, though. He tells the girls before they can act regal for the photo shoot, they’ll need to get “lessons in ruling” from the best of the best: Katya, Manila and Valentina from “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
Right after making the announcement, the three stars walk on out, giving their fiercest looks as they do. “Oh, I absolutely see America’s Next Top Model in this group and it’s none of those girls, it’s me.” Katya says.
As for Manila, she needs the contestants to realize that “when you take a picture next to a drag queen, you better fight for that camera.”
The final of the three, Valentina, is just happy to be involved with this series that she’s always loved and has no fighting competitive to share. “I grew up watching ‘America’s Next Top Model’ and I’m finally here alongside these ladies,” she says. “It’s so good.”
The remaining 10 models simply stare in awe at the drag queens before them, giving them some smiles and lots of applause. “My heart just like stopped,” Kyla says. “Just to see them in person, I was like, ‘You guys are so beautiful.’”
The actual photo shoot will have the girls posing as princesses one-on-one with of one of the RuPaul drag queens, who will suitably be playing queens.
See if the models will be able to outshine the drag queens when “America’s Next Top Model” airs on VH1 on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST.
