In the "America's Next Top Model" Cycle 23 finale, finalists Cory Anne Roberts, 19, India Gants, 20, and Tatiana Price, 21, will do their best to pull off a Paper Magazine photo-shoot spread. Rumors claim that Roberts and Price failed to beat Gants.
Gants is from Seattle, Washington, while Price is from Queens, New York, and Roberts is from Los Angeles, California. Gants won Best Photo five times while Roberts won twice and Price won only once.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, "ANTM" producer Ken Mok was asked about the three finalists. He said that many people compare Gants' looks to Gigi Hadid "and people on the show like her modeling experience but does she have the same kind of personality that Tatiana has? Cory Anne is kind of in the middle of both of them."
Before the winner is announced, "Ride of Your Life" singer Tinashe will sing while all the eliminated contestants return to hit the runway. The eliminated contestants are Justine Biticon, 18, Marissa Hopkins, 18, Giah Hardeman, 21, Paige Mobley, 22, Kyle McCoy, 23, Cherish Waters, 25, Krislian Rodriguez, 25, Binta Dibba, 25, Courtney Nelson, 25, Tash Wells 26, and Cody Wells, 26.
"ANTM" Cycle 22 winner Nyle DiMarco, the first deaf contestant to win the competition created by Tyra Banks, is expected to be in the "ANTM" Cycle 23 finale. Banks is back to give advice to the judges namely Paper magazine creative director Drew Elliott, celebrity stylist Law Roach, supermodel Ashley Graham and the host Rita Ora.
"I want you to think about who you want to dress," Banks tells Roach in the "ANTM" Cycle 23 finale. She then asks Elliott, "Who do you want in the pages of Paper magazine and who do you think all of your competitors want to book?"
After one among Gants, Price and Roberts is eliminated, Banks asks Graham which of the final two girls 'can put the word 'super' in front of 'model' nine months from now.'" To Ora, Banks asks, "Who do you think is more than just a model?"
Previously, Banks told People that Ora had such a huge personality and she was exactly the same in real life. The "ANTM" creator said she knew of the "Fifty Shades Darker" star inside out from being a fan, so when they got to meet, it was incredible.
Aside from the Paper magazine spread, the "ANTM" Cycle 23 winner will go home with a $100,000 contract with Rimmel London cosmetics and a one-year talent deal with VH1. Tune in to VH1 on March 8, Wednesday, at 10:00 p.m. to find out if Gants really defeated Roberts and Price.
