Airing on The CW on Oct. 30, Wednesday, "America's Next Top Model" cycle 22 episode 12 titled "The Guy Who Got the Deal in Vegas" brings the remaining six finalists in Las Vegas.
In a recent interview with MTV, "Switched at Birth" actor Nyle DiMarco, who is also the first ever deaf contestant in the competition, was asked about "ANTM" cycle 22 episode 12. He said, "This is very exciting!"
According to DiMarco, "ANTM" cycle 22 episode 12 is "going to be nothing but tension." He explained that the tandem Devin Clark and Mikey Heverly "from DMA group is seemingly going to break-up."
DMA stands for the first names of Clark, Heverly and eliminated contestant Ashley Molina. Heverly and Molina had a romantic connection during the first episodes of the show and they formed a group with Clark as their friend.
DiMarco added that he, Heverly, Clark and their fellow finalists Lacey Rogers, Mamei Adjei and Hadassah Richardson "are now trying to focus on winning" in "ANTM" cycle 22 episode 12 while Las Vegas life is thrown at them.
"We do not want to be friends anymore, but rivals!" the deaf "Switched at Birth" actor added.
Meanwhile, ABC Family has confirmed that "Switched at Birth" season 5 is happening. In a statement obtained by TV Guide, ABC Family executive vice president of programming and development Karey Burke said, "Every season, 'Switched at Birth' continues to deliver fresh, relatable storylines that tackle important social issues, reflecting what our audience experiences daily."
