The finalists for cycle twenty were taken to Los Angeles where for the first time in the show's history, men would be able to participate. At first the men were separated from the women, but they later met in masquerade ball fashion show. There, they had to pick their partners and kiss them at the end of the runway. Notable scenes were Cory, who picked a guy instead of a girl as a partner, Chris H., who chose two female partners, and Bianca with Chlea, both of whom were left without a man to walk with.

Afterwards, the models were interviewed individually. Jourdan revealed that she had married and divorced a man at the age of eighteen. Virgg talked about her being transgender, and that she had begun to take hormones in preparation for sex reassignment surgery. Mike confessed that he had been discovered by Tyra while working on an ice cream truck. Jeremy admitted that he had been chubby as a kid, but managed to overcome his struggles and become fit. Marvin talked about his home life, and about his father's profession as a janitor. Chris H. spoke about his experience of having been homeless. Later, all thirty-five semifinalists were driven to the top model house. There, the pool of contestants was narrowed down to twenty-six people who would spend the night there before the permanent and official cast was revealed.

The chosen twenty-six finalists moved into the top model home, where they would spend the night. Tyra and Rob dropped by in order to talk to the hopefuls about the different aspects of male and female modeling. Personalities clashed when playful Chris H., punched Phil in his groin area. He was quickly confronted by the other male models. Seeing this, Nina tried to comfort him and got to know him more.

Later that night, the models were photographed so that they could earn the fan votes that would allow them into the final cast. Chris H. and Jourdan struggled during the beginning of the shoot, while others excelled. Back at the model house, Jourdan began to talk to Jeremy and told him that they were only friends. She also stated that she felt uncomfortable and slightly irritated with Jeremy following her around. Nina talked to Chris H. and tried to convince him to open up to more to the people there. Immediately before the final cast was going to be revealed, Virgg requested to speak to Tyra. She explained that the hormones were taking a toll on her, and as a result, she had decided to quit the competition. The top sixteen models were then revealed by Tyra, leaving the eliminated semifinalists to be sent home. Immediately after, Tyra announced that they would have to walk on a vertical runway for Guess, but continued with a cliffhanger.

The episode began with the conclusion of the last episode, where the chosen top sixteen finalists had a vertical catwalk for Guess as their first challenge with Rob and supermodel Jessica Hart as the judges. Chlea described Kelly's attitude backstage. Marvin, Cory and Renee excelled while Chris H., Bianca and Mike struggled. Bianca completely gave up on the catwalk, opting to go limp down the runway. Rob and Jessica thought Mike's walk was the worst. In contrast, they were impressed by Marvin and Renee. After the challenge, Jessica revealed that Mike and Bianca had been the weakest and that Marvin and Renee had been the standouts. Ultimately, Renee was chosen as the challenge winner for having the highest challenge score. As her reward, she got to use the Tyra Suite, which she chose to share with Kanani. Back at the model house, the models were able to see all the scores from the challenge. Mike and Bianca are the two lowest scores, which made Mike worried. As a result, he proceeded to drink himself to sleep.

The next day the contestants had their first photo shoot where they had to portray different types of weddings. Jourdan impressed during her session, and managed to deliver a great picture. Marvin, Don and Chris H. receive praise for doing well. Mike on the other hand was chastised for looking stiff, which led to Alexandra outshining him in their shot.

At panel, Chris H., Don, Jiana and Alexandra received good feedback. Marvin received praise for his strong photograph, and later received first call-out for having the highest combined score. Chlea was reprimanded by Kelly for her behavior at the challenge, while Phil was told that he had one of the lowest social media scores. Mike, Chris S., and Bianca ultimately wound up in the bottom three. Tyra noted that Mike had the worst walk of the bunch, and that she felt that Bianca had faded in the group shot. Despite his high fashion look, she critiqued Chris S. for having produced a weak photograph. Bianca was eliminated first for having the lowest overall score. Chris S. followed suit, leaving Mike to be spared from elimination.

Marvin got to stay in the Tyra Suite after having received a best photo, which he chose to share with Don. Cory became irritated because he felt that the other guys in the competition were acting like a bunch of hormonal teenagers. The next day, the models were taken to a penthouse. Tyra and Rob came in to teach them a lesson on how to create chemistry in their photos. The models began practicing the three rules of sexual chemistry, fresh breath, tension and inhale. Then, the models are paired up to showcase what they have learnt. A lot of the couples were pretty good at selling this, with the exception of Phil, who felt uncomfortable partnering with Alexandra. The models were told that they were doing a risqué photo shoot, and that they were going to be working in pairs with Rob and Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio.

Chris H., Jiana, Jourdan and Renee excelled at the shoot, while Don, Marvin and Chlea struggled to look sexy. After the shoot, the models went back to their house. There they found a Tyra Mail, which told them that they would be receiving their makeovers. At the makeovers, almost everyone was satisfied with their new looks. Kelly went up to Chlea during her makeover and asked her if they could 'make over' their relationship, feeling that they gotten off on the wrong foot. They talked out their issues and hugged it out. The guys also learned that they would undergo hair removal, which some of the girls got a hoot out of watching.

At judging, both Jiana and Mike received praise for their strong shots. Mike redeemed himself and received the best photo of the week. Chlea, Don, Phil and Marvin received mediocre feedback. Meanwhile, Jeremy was critiqued by Tyra, who said he looked like a "Gorilla" in his photo. Chlea and Don wound up in the bottom two for producing lackluster photographs.

The episode starts off with everyone hovering over Mike's photo from the prior elimination. Mike told Chris H. to "shut up", which set him off. Chris H. and Mike began to argue, with Chris H. demanding an apology from Mike. Cory then talked to Chris H. and asked why he reacted to people the way he did. Cory told him that he needed to talk to everyone in the house and tell them his story. Chris H. called for a house meeting and proceeded to tell everyone that because of his past, he just didn't know how to act around people and how to cope with things. Most of the models could understand where he was coming from, but Mike remained unswayed by Chris H.'s confession.

The next day the contestants went to a club where they met Johnny and a special guest, the editor of Nylon magazine, Marvin Scott Jarrett. He told the models that they would be doing a fashion show on a rotating platform. Mike received some tips from Johnny about his runway walk, since he had the worst walk in the competition. Backstage Johnny introduced the models to their stylists Ashton Michael and Kimberley Gordon, who were also going to judge their walks. Nina began to worry because she had sprained one of her ankles during casting week. She worried that she would be unable to participate in the challenge. Instead of backing out from the challenge, she tried wrapping her ankle to see if that would help with her walk without the risk of getting hurt. Chris H. comforted Nina and told her that she was very strong. During the show, Jourdan, Renee, Phil and Chris H. excelled. Jeremy and Mike struggled most, both Ashton and Kimberley agreed that they had been the worst. In the end, Jourdan was revealed to be the winner of the challenge. As a reward, she was allowed to keep her wardrobe from the show. She was also given the opportunity to make an appearance on Nylon TV. Back at the house the models were able to see their scores from the challenge. Mike and Jeremy had the lowest scores, which made Jeremy extremely worried.

The models went to their next photo shoot, where they would be posing in a trailer park with a Honey Boo Boo impersonator in groups. The models were allowed to choose their partners for the shoot, which left Jeremy, Kanani and Don to work as a trio. During the shoot, Jourdan, Chris H., Cory, Nina and Phil received praise from the photographer. Jeremy struggled, and Mike was chastised for not doing his best. Marvin was also criticized for having the same facial expression in each shot.

At panel, Jourdan, Phil, Nina, Don and Chris H. received praise from the judges. Jourdan received best photo for having the highest overall score of the week. Mike and Jeremy both received negative feedback, and were consequently placed in the bottom two. Tyra critiqued Mike for delivering yet another weak photograph. She also revealed that the judges were worried that his strong photo the week before had just been luck. Jeremy was criticized for his declining performance despite having strong potential. By a margin of just 0.10, Jeremy was able to remain in the competition.

Tensions flared at the house when Jourdan took an extra five minutes on the phone, proceeding to take time from someone else’s phone call. She had been given the task to choose the phone time for everyone in the house, but arranged the phone schedules so that Nina and herself would receive ten minutes on the phone with everyone else getting five. This made everyone in the house very irritated with her, especially Renee, who decided to take her anger a step further by threatening to slap Jourdan in the face.

Later that same day, the models were challenged to become fashion correspondents. The task is overseen by Bryanboy and Perez Hilton. The contestants are asked to pull random people off the street and conduct interviews with them about their personal style. After the challenge, Perez called out Jiana and Marvin as the weakest during the challenge for having failed to ask all the questions he and Bryanboy had requested. For having fulfilled all of the requirements while conducting the interviews, Jeremy was chosen as the challenge winner. He was also told that he could pick one of the girls to share the prize with. He choose Jourdan, irritating the other models even further. As their prize, they were allowed to go out to dinner together. During their night out of the house, Jeremy and Jourdan began talking about their lives and their stories.

The following day, the models must shoot for a body spray commercial in which they are asked to dress as the opposite gender and share a passionate kiss. They are also allowed to choose their partners for the commercial. Cory, Don and Kanani excelled, while Marvin and Alexandra struggled. Some of the models thought that Jiana was focusing too much on Phil rather than herself. Nina was also criticized for failing to be masculine.

At judging, Cory was hailed with praise for his performance during the commercial. He later received first call-out. Don, Phil, and Kanani received mostly positive critique for their performances, with the majority of the other contestants receiving mixed feedback. Ultimately, Jiana and Alexandra were placed in the bottom two. Despite having been front-runners at the beginning of the competition, Tyra explained that both of their performances in the commercial had left much to be desired. The final scores were revealed, and Jiana managed to escape being eliminated from the competition.

The episode began with the models returning to the house. Due to her distress over having been in the bottom two the previous elimination, Cory chose Jiana to share the Tyra suite with him. Phil continually interrupted the two during their stay in the suite, irritating both them. Cory spoke to Jeremy about him possibly liking Jourdan, but Jeremy denied Cory's skepticism. While the girls were showering, some of the guys decided to prank them by taping their possessions to the walls. On the day of the challenge, the models were taken to a farm. Kelly and guest Jackie Fraser-Swan explained that where they would have to create two Flixel photos in teams featuring Emerson clothing. Cory, Kanani and Don were chosen as team captains due to having had the three highest scores last panel. The teams consisted of Cory, Phil, Jiana and Chris H.; Kanani, Renee and Jourdan; Don, Marvin, Jeremy and Nina.

During the shoots, some of the tension between Kanani, Jourdan and Renee was resolved when Jourdan decided to apologize for her behavior the previous week. Phil aggravated his team by cutting the sleeves off of the designer's clothes as well as throwing a rock at a fence, breaking it. Due to damaging property, Cory's team was placed last for the challenge. Kelly explained that although Don's team produced stellar photos, they had forgotten to use a female model in one of their pictures. As a result, Kanani's team won the challenge. Chris H. became angered by his low score in the challenge and began taking it out on other contestants. Nina attempted to calm him down but he blew up at her, shocking and hurting her. Later that night some of the boys decided to place clown dolls in the girls' room, fully aware of the fact that Renee and Kanani were scared of clowns. Kanani began to panic when she saw the dolls, proceeding to break down and cry due to her alleged coulrophobia.

The following day the models met Johnny, who announced that the theme of the photo shoot would be a beauty shot focusing on nail art. They also met photographer Franco Lacosta. After being given different themes, the contestants began to get their nail art and make-up applied. Jeremy irritated Jourdan for teasing her about the kiss they had the previous week at the shoot. Still mad about the events that had taken place earlier, Nina proceeded to ignore Chris H. the whole time. During the shoot, Renee, Marvin, Jourdan, and Don excelled. Nina and Kanani struggled with their concentration during their sessions. Johnny became displeased with Jeremy's performance, while Phil was chastised for failing to look more masculine.

At panel, Cory, Marvin and Jourdan all received praise for the strong photographs they managed to deliver. Chris H. received positive feedback from the judges, but was met with mixed reactions from social media. During the elimination ceremony, Jourdan was awarded best photo for the second time. After all the other contestants were declared safe, Jeremy, Kanani, and Phil were called forward by Tyra as the bottom three. Tyra noted that while the judges thought Jeremy had strong potential, he was failing to prove himself as the competition progressed. Kanani and Phil were both called out on their underwhelming photos and their sub par performances during the photo shoot. The final scores began to roll, and Jeremy became the first contestant to be eliminated from the competition. Soon after his exit, an emotional Kanani followed suit.

Afterwards, they went to their challenge, where they meet with Johnny Wujek who introduces Carole Lacroix, the product manager of swimsuit and underwear line' 69 Slam. The models will have to walk under water, while wearing Seawalker helmets to help them breathe. Don is especially worried by this, due to have past anxiety attacks.

At the sea runway, Jourdan, Renee and Chris did extremely well for the most part, while Marvin and Jeremy fell flat in convincing the designer by their walk. Nina broke down which frustrated Chris, after being told she cannot participate in the sea runway for her lung problem.

Later, Renee won the challenge for having the best performance under water. Back at the house, Nina and Don got the lowest score for the challenge, which made them upset at the cost of potentially going home. Meanwhile, Renee and Marvin continue flirting.

The remaining models return to the hotel and were met in the living room by Tyra with candles and floor pillows. As the models talked about certain feelings and emotions like Jourdan brought her struggles in the past with her ex-husband, Chris also expressed his jealousy about the others' strong relationships and that he didn't have a close friend in the house which dismays Nina knowing that she had been Chris's closest friend and that he didn't feel the same.

The next day, while working out, Jeremy confronted Chris and recalled their past experiences while they were met in Bali. Jeremy pointed out that he was shown by Chris's lack of respect. Everyone in the house started listening to their drama while Nina was sleeping sound. The photoshoot came where they had to model designs by a deaf 11-year old designer, Rafi A. Ridwan and Oka Diputra in a Rice Paddy. The models showed their high-fashion abilities to Tyra for a 10-second pose teach.

After the photoshoot, they head to Ubud into two teams in three, Chris, Cory, Nina and Renee went to a healing and cleansing trip while Jourdan, Jeremy and Marvin toured around Ubud Monkey Forest. They were housed to the elephant village where tensions rose again while the bed assignment was done. Chris felt he was not assigned properly which prompted Jeremy to be the mature one. Jourdan, Nina and Cory shared the big bed, Marvin and Renee shared the couches, Jeremy slept on the small couch on the room and Chris made his own. The next day, the models rode some elephants where Marvin and Renee; who have the nickname of "Marnee", kissed. They then went back to the hotel and were greeted by the skull Mail. Again, a 'no one is safe' letter was sent, leaving them guessing for a double elimination.

At panel, Jourdan, Marvin and Cory received praise for their high fashion editorial photographs while Renee, Jeremy, Chris and Nina received mixed feedback to weak. Having no challenge, this week would prove who delivered the best photo out of everyone else. Jourdan's photograph eventually won her fourth best photo in the competition. Nina, Chris and Jeremy were called for a double elimination; Chris, for not believing in his own abilities, Nina, for producing an average photo despite strong performances throughout the competition, and Jeremy, for still not mastering Head-to-toe modelling.

The models received a Tyra Mail concerning what they assumed would be a photo shoot for Guess. Johnny has to meet them on-set, as their assumptions were proven correct when they were told that they would having a shoot for Guess. He introduced the models to Yu Tsai, their photographer for the shoot. Immediately before the shoot however, past contestants returned to assist the final three models.

The second photo shoot of the week was for Nylon. Marvin Scott Jarrett shot the three models in different locations. He stressed his awe for the three models.

Jourdan excelled after performing amazingly and believably. Jourdan and Cory had to kiss with each other, while Marvin felt a bit uneasy.

The eliminate models must have debated to switch teams, as a result, Mike left Corey's team and switch to Jourdan's team as he felt Jourdan looked like a more model. Twenty minutes before the show has yet to begin, Tyra and the judges revealed a twist that there would be one final elimination before the fashion show. The judges deliberated on the models' Guess photos. Jourdan was praised for having produced a Guess-worthy photograph and having a great social media response for her "booty tooch", but they believed her photo not as strong as it could have been. Marvin was lauded for his cheekbones but Kelly said he was depending too much on his looks. Cory was noted to look very masculine but the Judges were not sure if he could be "the man". The judges said they had already scored the photos and the results were in, and that only two of them would continue on in the competition. The episode ended with a cliffhanger.
