"ANTM" cycle 22 episode 5 recorded the highest viewership in only over two years and its best 18-49 result since "ANTM" cycle 20 finale episode, which aired on Nov. 15, 2013 and declared Jourdan Miller as the winner, according to Deadline.

Before the elimination, "Switched at Birth" alum Nyle DiMarco said McNeer was the only "ANTM" cycle 22 contestant who has tried to learn a little sign language to communicate with him. The two male contestants played water pong.
It was said that the "Star Trek" actor lookalike missed his prom and his high school graduation for "ANTM" cycle 22.
