In a rare event, Bob lets the models reveal the ARP of each Showcase. Chantel will read the price of Nathaniel's Showcase, and Nikki the price of Hadid's.

ARP of Hadid's Showcase: $28,047 (OVER)
Nathaniel wins $51,450 in cash and prizes today, including a Corvette. After missing out on one car, he ends up winning a much nicer one! What a terrific comeback!
Instead of the main theme, the show ends with a playing of the Rock & Roll Showcase Cue, and immediately after Rod's closing announcement (which was obviously prerecorded, since we see him already at the prizes), the Pearson logo appears, and the split-screen credits begin.
