There has been increasing drama on the hit reality series 'America's Next Top Model: Guys & Girls' recently, as heated exchanges and a cold challenge turned the premiere into quite the episode for fans.

The most recent episode, entitled "The Guy Who Wears Heels", which aired last Friday, saw Denzel Wells being the least favorite among all the contestants - in the eyes of judges, and possibly, the fans as well, since he has been ruled an alleged homophobe, due to his recent comments towards Will Jardell.

According to excerpts from the show, Denzel is reported to have said: "Like I came out here to get beat by a dude who wears heels" in clear reference to Will's sexuality and high heels, which was also referenced in the episode title.

Apparently, Denzel finds it uncomfortable losing to Will because he finds it shameful to lose to a man he sees "less masculine" than he is.

This however, does not sit well with one of the show's judges, Tyra Banks, who not only took offense and defended Will, she also let loose with a tirade of comments towards Denzel.

As reported by Reuters, some of her comments were emphasizing how hurtful Denzel was being as well as ignorant: "Who gives a f***?! I want to take you back 50 years. Imagine you overhear Will say 'I hope that Denzel guy doesn't win, because if a black guy wins, my friends at home are going to say I'm in some [censored]."

Denzel later apologized off air, which he alluded to on his Twitter page saying the following: "Preciate #ANTM didn't air that heart to heart apology @willANTM21 and I have after panel. It's cool though. Will knows. #AllThatMatters."

However, some speculate that Denzel hasn't really learned anything from the whole experience.

In other news, the contestants were challenged to take photo shoot among ice and snow for their weekly challenge. Ironically, Denzel failed at this challenge while Will stole the show. It was Lenox, with her stellar shoot that secured this challenge for her.

The episode closed with the three contestants in the bottom, thee being women, and Kari going home.
