Don, a 6' 0" 25-year-old rapper, model and club promoter from Minneapolis, MN, was eliminated from the competition after he found herself in the bottom two alongside Marvin Cortes, a 6' 1" 20-year-old sales associate from Bronx, NY.
Don and Marvin landed in the bottom two based upon their challenge score and total combined scores from the judges and viewers for a photo shoot which required the contestants to shoot with -- and attempt to embody -- either an orangutan, a parrot, a leopard, or an albino python.
For the challenge, all the models participated in a runway show underwater in Bali. They had to model swimwear while walking on the ocean floor with a helmet on through which they could breathe.
Renee Bhagwandeen ended up winning her third challenge in a row and walked away with a $3,000 swimwear prize package. Don and Nina Burns couldn't do the challenge because of medical issues, so they attempted to do a makeshift snorkeling photo shoot, which earned them a couple of the lowest scores.

At panel, Don received a score of six from Tyra Banks, a seven from Kelly Cutrone and a nine from Rob Evans. He also earned five points for the challenge and a 5.3 fan vote, making his overall score 32.30.
Marvin was deemed safe with his overall score of 32.60. He received eight points from Tyra, seven from Kelly and six from Rob. Marvin also racked in six points for the challenge and a 5.6 fan vote.
Best photo of the week went to Nina again, who was the person to receive the highest overall score of 38.30.
Tyra's call-out order was as follows: Nina, Renee, Jeremy Rohmer, Cory Hindorff, Jourdan Miller, and Chris Hernandez.
