The four remaining contestants on "America's Next Top Model" duked it out Tuesday night in a Pantene photo shoot they had to style, direct and produce themselves.

Jeana -- who has Alopecia -- opted for a blonde wig for her shoot, which angered Khrystyana, the only other blonde in the competition. But Khrystyana still ended up out-performing Jeana as well as the other two girls and won the challenge. She was given the opportunity to choose a friend to receive a surprise prize, so she picked Kyla. The next day, Khrystyana and Kyla's moms showed up unannounced at the models' mansion.

Needless to say, the tears were flowing, and when Khrystyana told her mom about the molestation she suffered when she was 11, the crying was nearly uncontrollable.

Later on, the girls were challenged to create a high-end editorial, representing the same Pantene product they used in their shoots. The model with the best photo would end up in a real Pantene campaign as part of the brand's "Strong is Beautiful" creative platform.

"Today is a vert important day," said judge Drew Elliott, who was overseeing the shoot. "Today is a very critical shoot for these girls 'cause Pantene is our main partner for 'America's Next Top Model.' We've done a lot of editorial shoots throughout the season, and this is the one where we really have to get that commercial element, so it is to our final four, and this is where they really have to shine."

No pressure, right?

Once again, Jeana opted for a blonde wig, telling cameras she was going to do whatever it would take to win. Not only that, she showed up to Khrystyana's shoot and stared her down in an effort to distract her because "Khrystyana's my biggest competition."

That she is. Khrystyana killed it, as did Kyla. Shanice struggled to not look "bored," and Jeana struggled to not look "too sexy."

Jeana ended up getting eliminated -- until she didn't. Tyra Banks brought her back yet again after guest judge and German designer Philipp Plein fought for her to walk in his fashion show on next week's finale alongside Kyla, Khrystyana and Shanice.

"America's Next Top Model" Cycle 24 finale airs Tuesday, April 10 at 8 p.m. on VH1.
