America’s Next Top Model Cycle 22 Finale Part 2 Recap: And the Winner Is … Nyle DiMarco!

"America's Next Top Model" has ended after 22 cycles and 12 years on reality television, with Nyle taking the last crown. Nyle has beaten Mame in the final runway showdown.

Here are some of the highlights during the second part of the finale.

The top four contestants gave their presentations to the judges on why they deserve to be America's next top model and what their plans are should they win this competition.

Lacey went on first and showed her plans confidently about going into acting and establishing her own dance studio. She said she wants to help other getting into shape and feel confident.

Mame wants to be supermodel humanitarian and a businesswoman, so she also presented a business plan. The last time she presented one, she stuttered, but this time she was confident and passionate about it.

Nyle plans to use the prize money to launch an app that will help teach European American Sign Language. He also wants to do acting classes and get a master's degree. And they he says he will also use the money to travel to build his profile.

Mikey wants to start in his hometown to raise awareness in the area and give back to the community with the help of his family and friends.

That and their recent photoshoots for Nylon and Zappos Couture determined the top two. It came down to Mame and Nyle, who are already thinking about going global and establishing their own names.

On the runway, Nyle got nervous because he can't hear the music. Tyra signaled him from the audience to audience. Mame had the advantage because she can hear. For the second walk, Yu Tsai reminded Nyle to slow down and he did better. Mame felt the pressure and decided to stop in the middle to do a pivot.

The next morning they faced the last panel ever. Miss Jay loved Nyle's first walk, despite the challenge with the music. Yu Tsai said Mame took a risk in that middle turn, but he loved it nonetheless.

The judges looked back to their photos since day one before announcing that America's Next Top Model is Nyle DiMarco.
