The judges secretly monitor the girls as they go through the grueling course and finish with a quick and easy photoshoot. Host, Erika Heynatz tells the girls that her and the judges have been secretly monitoring them and one girl will be eliminated on the spot. In the end when it's between blondie, Caroline and Darwin girl, Sasha, Sasha is sent packing as it was obvious Caroline was not going to be sent anywhere but the catwalk.The eleven remaining girls say their farewells to Sasha and leave to their model house where they meet Madeleine, the new girl to take Sasha's place. On the beds they find goodie-bags containing clothes, accessories and make-up and hair products. The next day the girls are taken to a dance studio where they're taught how to walk on a runway. The girls are then put to the test when they have to put on a runway show for shoe designers. Although Eboni went down the runway with only one shoe in the bikini look, she wins and chooses Sarah to share in her prize which is to have private lessons with judge, Victoria Fisher. The next day the girls are taken to their first photoshoot which rocks Hiranthi's boat when they're told to pose nude. Madeleine flaunts her naked body back set and Caroline poses with her breasts exposed but Hiranthi fails to live up to the other girls. That night Madeline ruffles some feathers when she makes-out with Sophie and tries to have sex with Lara in the hot tub. That same night Lara shaves off one of Hiranthi's eyebrows.
