Contestants will pair up in a sexy commercial in the upcoming episode of the CW's long-running reality show "America's Next Top Model" season 22.

In "The Guy Who Acts a Fool," TV Guide reports that models will have some fun time under the sun in an ad shoot by the beach. Tension will rise, however, as team ups cause jealousy among contestants. While others will excel in the task, some will fall flat, as they struggle to find the right chemistry for the camera. Before that, however, they have to undergo a challenge where their acting skills will be put to test.

Last episode, cycle 10 winner Whitney Thompson joined the contestants in an ad campaign for Simply Be fashion. Kelly Cutrone oversaw the entire photo shoot, where the models were paired up to develop their own tagline of their creative design. Nyle DiMarco, who had so far played it safe in the competition, earned his first win in the challenge.

In the next photo shoot, the models were given bright blue contact lenses and were told they have to act possessed. Yu Tsai have them fitted with harnesses and suspended in midair, while their entire body was covered by talcum powder. All of them were also made to wear outfits made of gauzy material to give them eerie looks. Most of the contestants struggled with the challenge, but not DiMarco, whose confidence went shooting up after winning the last task.

During panel, no one was surprised when he won first call-out. Lacey Rogers's photo also received great reviews from the judges, where Cutrone praised how fluid her movements looked. Mamé Adjei was also part of the top three. At the bottom were Ava Capra, Bello Sánchez and Courtney DuPerow. While all their photos did not impress the panel, Capra's lack of zest in hers earned her a ticket home.

"America's Next Top Model" season 22 airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on the CW.
