Clark started very strong having the first call-out in "ANTM" cycle 22 episode 3. However, judges imply that he is a one-trick pony. He has never won any challenges and has been in two bottom two three times. Having garnered a total score of 291. 5 after 12 episodes so far, he is also at the bottom among the remaining five finalists.

Fourth place: Lacey Rogers, El Dorado, Arkansas

With a total score of 309.8, Rogers is currently on top among the remaining five finalists. However, judges feel that she is also a one-trick pony like Clark. She has three first call-outs and one challenge win in "ANTM" cycle 22 episode 12, she was in the bottom two for the first time.

Third place: Mikey Heverly, 26, Hollywood, Florida

Heverly is also in third place based on total score. He has garnered 301.5 points, won a challenge twice, had the first call-out once and was never in the bottom two.

Second place: Full name: Mame Adjei, 23, Silver Spring, Maryland

Mamei ranks fourth based on total score with her 297.7 points so far but she won the challenge for the week four times and has never been in the bottom two. She was recently in New York City for a charity event, Broadway World reported.

"ANTM" cycle 22 winner: Nyle DiMarco, 25, Washington, D.C.

Based on total score, DiMarco ranks second with 306.1 points along with his two first-call outs and one challenge win. Like Heverly and Adjei, he has never been in the bottom two. After "ANTM" cycle 22, he also plans to pursue acting with "Switched at Birth" already in his resume, he told MTV.
