He was later superimposed over the photo taken of Matt's model and their backdrop. Ian's model had a bad reaction to the makeup and left the reveal stage after judging. Other animals provided to the contestants included a white rhinoceros and gray wolves RJ's model had a bad reaction to the makeup and was replaced with a model who was unrelated to the models on his team. One of the Greens was a fraternal triplet to the other two identicals. Rayce's trio of makeups was the audience favorite, something that would be taken into consideration when the judges made their final decision.
