Designer Sue Wong Makes a Guest Appearance and Serves as a Guest Judge and Photographer Mike Rosenthal Also Guest Stars

"The Girl Who Makes a Disclaimer" � After runway coach J. Alexander schools the models on the catwalk, the girls are immediately put to the test by designer Sue Wong, who challenges them to walk on a runway with moving parts, on AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL, Wednesday, Oct. 5 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on UPN. Designer Sue Wong also serves as a guest judge.

Later, at a photo shoot with photographer Mike Rosenthal, the models must pose while running and reacting to special effects that are not actually there. At the judging panel, the models are given a challenge to show off their "signature walk" inspired by a model from a previous cycle. However, the judges are taken aback when one model stops in the middle of her challenge to make a speech.
