Episode summaries

First episode: Scouting Berlin and Cologne

The first episode of Germany's Next Topmodel 2015 starts in Berlin, where host Heidi Klum and her fellow regular judge Thomas Hayo pick up the third judge, Wolfgang Joop, at his home to board the Germany's Next Topmodel coach. Casting begins, inviting individual contestants with a personal pick-up and the episode ends with a mass-casting in Cologne.

Second episode: Scouting Nuremberg, Ingolstadt and Munich

In the second episode, Heidi and Thomas continue their casting trip throughout Nuremberg and Ingolstadt. Live auditions take place and some girls receive a wildcard which guarantees a position in the competition. Later, the last auditions are being held in Munich as a mass casting.

Third episode: Wrapping castings and first show

Third episode chronicles the wrapping of mass castings in Munich. Heidi, Thomas and Wolfgang challenge their select girls with a first runway show for a Turkish designer, the difficult part: the runway is filled with loose gravel. The episode ends with eliminations for a final group of girls, now heading for Los Angeles in the next episode.

Fourth episode: The Big Make-over (Das große Umstyling)

Upon arrival in Los Angeles, the girls get to know their accommodation during the next weeks, are asked to select a "group leader" and Heidi later gathers them in a nondescript warehouse for the big style and hair makeover, ending in tears, especially for Erica.

Fifth episode: The First Shooting (Das erste Shooting)

The color yellow is the theme of this week's shooting for Cosmopolitan. In turn each of the girls is photographed as part of a small group on a Los Angeles back-lot. Heidi and the judges reveal a new mode of operation in this year's GNTM edition: Under the moniker "World of Topmodel", each week some of the girls are sent to real castings in diverse locations across the globe - this week, three contestants are sent to London, to audition for a job offered by a German lifestyle magazine.

Sixth episode: In Dizzy Height (In schwindelerregender Höhe)

An L.A. airport serves as the location for the "Helicopter Shoot", a remake of a photo challenge from a previous cycle. This week's "World of Topmodel" job is in Dubai and three girls fly over, one being handicapped with bruised knees injured during the helicopter shoot just before leaving.

Seventh episode: Body painting (Das Bodypainting)

This week's "World of Topmodel" holds a one-day-trip to Oahu, Hawaii for three of the girls: among them Erica, who is not selected in the casting for Surfer Magazine's photo shoot and resorts to drama. Back in L.A. the troupe is faced with the next photo challenge: a colorful body-painting shooting in a West L.A. studio loft. Overshadowed by Erica's bad mood, the girls blame her for ruining the shooting for all of them. The episode ends with the obligatory "live walk", the challenge here is the catwalk is suspended between a stack of sea shipping container, 42 ft above ground. Judge Wolgang Joop is absent for the entire episode.

Eighth episode: Underwater (Unter Wasser)

"World of Topmodel" is a casting for a blouse manufacturer in Milan, Italy. Three challenges follow: an underwater / water-tank shoot with Schuller, a "water-splashing" shoot with a stunt driver on an L.A. parking lot and the usual live walk on 8th & Hope's Helipad, combined with a styling game where each of the girls is asked to select an outfit for her team mate. Wolfgang Joop is absent for the entiere episode (reported sick).

Ninth episode: Pure adrenaline (Adrenalin pur)

Kristian Schuller stages an American Football shoot. The "World of Topmodel" trip is a flight to Auckland, New Zealand, where Anuthida, Darya, Jüli, Katharina and Vanessa attend a casting for an editorial shoot for Remix Magazine, with Darya and Anuthida booked, and compete for a gig as catwalk model presenting Heidi Klum's own brand of lingerie, where Darya, Anuthida and Katharina are booked, with Anuthida being chosen to close the show. The episode centers on drama, as one of the girls is said to be mobbing everyone allegedly. At panel the girls have the opportunity to save one girl. Jüli is saved with having one more vote than Sandy. Sandy and Varisa are eliminated for their weak performance during this week.

Tenth episode: Bubble Gum

Heidi opens the episode with a so-called Out-of-bed challenge - each girl is being photographed just after waking up. World of Topmodel is a cover shoot for Shape magazine, executed later on in Miami, FL, after a casting in L.A, where Laura, Darya and Kiki reach the second round. Kristian Schuller does a camera test with each of the girls, giving them a few lines and some simple acting instructions in a spec bubble-gum commercial, where Anu performs best with Laura being second. The girls do training for cover shoots with having one high fashion and a body shot. Anu who has started to earn her reputation as a favorite the week before is deemed best along with Jüli and Katharina. Laura is surprisingly eliminated for having said to want to leave the competition at several times and inspite of her strong week. Sara, who the judges feel is not ready yet is eliminated second. One segment centers on Anuthida who is reunited with her father after 15 years while he lived in Las Vegas without having stayed in contact.

Eleventh episode: Bald Heads (Das Glatzenshooting)

The episode's first segment is a recap of Anu's family-reunion from last week. Heidi inspects all the girls' social media accounts, where Darya and Ajša receive bad critique for their pictures that lack niveau. Katharina wins the challenge to take a new photo in LA for social media. This weeks casting is for Opel, where Anu is booked for the important commercial. Kristian Schuller then challenges the girls in a mannequin-themed shoot where each girl receives a bald head by special-effects makeup. The shoot turns out to be especially challenging for Darya who carried over a bad mood from the previous segment where Heidi coached the girls in social media etiquette. Back at the villa, Wolfgang Joop asks the girls to style an outfit for Heidi, the reward is an expensive dress from a famous designer. Vanessa's outfit wins the challenge with Katharina being second. As usual, the episode closes with a live walk, where only Anuthida, Katharina and Jüli receive good critique, while Darya is heavily critiqued for her unprofessional mood at the shoot and during the entire week. Vanessa and Kiki are critiqued for their walks. Ajša is critiqued for her unprofessional smile when presenting Haute Couture. Lisa performs weak at the photoshoot and on the runway. Ajša, Vanessa, Kiki and Lisa land in the bottom four. Lisa and Kiki even in the bottom two. When Lisa reaches the next round Kiki thinks she is eliminated but she is surprised by the judges.

Twelveth episode: (Das Tanzshooting)

First, Heidi does mail bag with the girls. Then, three are flying over to New York for a Fashion Week casting (World of Topmodel). Back in L.A. the troupe is being coached for an upcoming shoot with Kristian. A choreographer instructs them in doing some basic routines. Again, room for drama between Darya and Kiki. The live walk is inspired by the classic Singing in the Rain, with artificial rain pouring down on the runway.
