Episode 5: The Girl That Runs Her Own Race

First aired February 5, 2014

The remaining eleven girls were woken up by Adam using a megaphone. The always energetic Adam then announced that it was the fitness week. The blurry-eyed girls were then greeted by Daniel Remon, a trainer from Technogym Kinesis who taught them how to use the gym equipment correctly and safely, and also told them how important it was for models to keep themselves fit. After the lesson, the models were told to go to a boot camp. On the way to the challenge, Janice complained to Marie and Poojaa about Tia, which made the girls very confused about the 'BFF' relationship between Janice and Tia.

At the boot camp, they were welcomed by Joey and Jason de la Peña, an English journalist, who also is a presenter for Sky News, Russia Today, Sky Sports, and ESPN-StarSports, and a former cricketer himself. Before they started the group challenge, the top two girls from the previous week, Marie and Josephine were appointed as the team leaders and they got to pick their teammates to form a team of four each.

Since the group was odd numbered, Nicole and Tia were the last two girls to be picked, with Josephine making the last pick. Nicole was picked instead of Tia, leaving her to form a one-man team. Joey then mentioned that this would be a team work challenge, the timer would stop when all the models have reached the predetermined finish line. Tia being alone in her team, was in at an advantage for she need not wait for any teammate. Team Marie started the obstacle course first, where they finished at 15 minutes and 15 seconds, while Team Josephine finished at 7 minutes and 50 seconds. Team Tia finished at only 2 minutes and 3 seconds, making her the challenge winner. Tia won a pampering spa treatment at the Ritz Carlton Kuala Lumpur, and picked Janice to enjoy the prize with her.

Marie and Pooja recalled what Janice gossiped about Tia in the car and shared it with the other girls. Back at the model house, the girls had surprised gifts from M·A·C Cosmetics. Roommates Tia and Sneha thought it would be fair to gather everyone in the living room to discuss and arrange who should get the products. Nicole was angry as she felt it unnecessary to argue over 'small cosmetics'.

For the photo shoot, the remaining models traveled to Studio Image Rom and participated in a futuristic sports theme photo shoot, featuring Malaysian photographer Loh Lin Shan. For this week's photo shoot, Loh told the girls to fully utilize their sports prop while giving futuristic, avant-garde poses.

Jodilly, Nicole and Sheena were praised and complimented by the photographer. Natalie greatly improved, showing her best yet while Janice was praised for enhancing her energy on set despite the photographer felt she was shielding her feelings at most times. The previous week's top three Marie, Josephine and Poojaa all seemed to be confused and took a huge step back from their performances. Katarina and Sneha were consistently giving safe and boring poses, especially Katarina who seemed to be not trying at all. Sneha was criticized for looking aged. Tia was criticized for having the "Tia Expression" and ignored directions given by mentors, Joey and Mike.

After the photo shoot, the models found out that the kitchen in the model house was closed, followed by a Nadya Mail stating that Poojaa and Sneha were chosen to prepare a three course meal for the house. Both of them were first-time cooks but the outcome was surprisingly delicious. After the dinner, Janice saw Jodilly, Katarina and Nicole sitting in their room, assumed that they were bitching about her. Nicole quickly invited Janice to sit down so they could have an intervention, when Nicole mentioned about Tia being her "BFF" in the house. Furious Janice defended herself by saying Tia was only her 'pretend BFF', as they got along "best" but doesn't mean they're best friends. All the girls were left confused. Then, Janice quickly recalled that she heard her name being mentioned several times from the other girls (Sheena and Natalie) during the photo shoot, and snapped into an argument with everyone in the house, which resulted in the disappointed Tia moving to another room.

At the judging panel, the models were presented with special guest Malaysian model Amber Chia. Natalie was praised at panel for delivering a great photo. The judges were surprised by Nicole's shot and praised for her consistency. The judges were also happy to see that Jodilly and Sheena had stepped up their game. Janice's energy looked drained at the panel, where she expressed her feelings of having to live with the girls in the house, which causing her a lot of stress, yet the judges praised her for improving since the previous weeks. Josephine, Marie and Poojaa had a huge step back despite having good photos the week before. A disappointed Joey opined that Marie's shot was a "flop". Poojaa was criticized for her signature "hands-on-hip" pose every week, and for not giving any variation at all, while Sneha and Katarina were criticized for being too safe every week. Challenge winner Tia had been slipping back gradually. Even worse, Mike later brought up the 'ill-mannered' issue that had happened during Tia's photo shoot. Nadya then quickly mentioned that this was the worst performance throughout the competition, and warned the girls to step up their game.

As the judges deliberated, Tia broke down in tears after being accused by the judges of ignoring Mike and Joey during the photo shoot. Natalie received first call out, and Jodilly secured her second best photo. Nicole and Sheena rounded up the top four, making Sheena extended her record of being the girl with most non-consecutive top three appearance in the cycle, with four. Josephine, Poojaa, Sneha and Tia landed in an unusual bottom four, marking Sneha's third consecutive bottom three appearance and Tia's second bottom two appearance. Poojaa, who was in the top three last week, was surprisingly eliminated for giving the same pose on her photos for the fifth consecutive time.

Episode 6: The Girl Who Works The Room

First aired February 12, 2014

The remaining top 10 girls were happy to stay in the competition. Poojaa's departure left a deep impact and much frustration from some of the girls, most prominently Nicole, who is also from Singapore. Feeling disappointed and upset, Nicole felt that all the kind hearted girls had left while the attention-seekers had remained in the house.

The next morning, the girls were warmly visited by model mentor Joey Mead-King at the house with experienced senior make-up artist from M.A.C., Haritha Shan. Sharing some tips on being classy and beautiful, Haritha gave all of the girls a goody bag of M.A.C. cosmetics. Joey then joyfully announced that they were going to a cocktail party challenge at Malaysia high-end bar Marini's 57, which was located at the 57th floor of the world's tallest twin tower, Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC). Malaysian girls Josephine and Sheena felt they were at an advantage as they had known some of the familiar faces of the local and popular, iconic figures there. The models were required to be sociable, classy and poised, and they needed to impress the crowd and be the most memorable model among the pack. However, Nadya and Joey did not tell them that there was one undercover judge, which was Subaru Asia Region manager, Glenn Tan.

All dressed in the amazing cocktail dresses by Malaysian multi-winning designer Sonny Son, the girls all looked very gorgeous and glamorous. All of them were excited and happy, which very much annoyed Janice as she felt that the girls were too silly for being too excited for such an event. She then started to alienate herself from the rest of the girls. Nicole was mad as she felt Janice created so much drama, faking in front of the judges just for the fame, which makes Nicole thinking that she could not throw out her humanity for the glamour and limelight, while the nice girls had left so early. At the cocktail party, all of the girls were warm and friendly. Generally, all the girls did well. All of them were sociable and glamorous. However, none of the girls seemed to have entertain the undercover judge, Glenn Tan, with only Natalie, Marie and Jodilly who got the chance to talk to him. Reasonably Natalie and Jodilly both received great feedback from Glenn. However, Jodilly, who was deemed to be honest and classy, and left a more remarkable impression on him, was chosen as the challenge winner. Her prize was an extra 15 frames for the next photo shoot.

After the cocktail party, as the girls were waiting at the hotel lobby, Janice suddenly apologized to the girls, especially to Nicole and Tia. Argument started to fire up when the girls like Katarina, Tia, Sneha and Nicole did not feel Janice being sincere with her brief apology. Janice felt she had lost all of her dignity as she apologized, and then called the girls mean as they didn't accept her apology at all. Since then, the girls had not bothered to entertain Janice anymore.

This week, the top 10 girls were required to be edgy and tried to take risk for their photo shoot at the Subaru XV Assembly Line factory in Malaysia. The girls will be joined by a few muscular, male models from Malaysia and Brazil, namely: Danny, John, Nate and Vitor. This week's featured photographer was Timon Wehrli and beautiful fairy tale-ish elegant gowns created by Indonesian couture designer, Imelda Kartini. They were hoped to break free from their shells and be brave risk-takers as last week's photos were mostly unimpressive. Jodilly, Josephine, Sheena, Sneha and Nicole received great feedback from the photographer for being very versatile and for delivering some story behind the shoot, despite of their distracting and hot surroundings on the set. This was especially true with Jodilly and Sneha, who received positive comments for their great shapes and graceful movements. Natalie, Tia, Katarina and Janice, however disappointed and failed to impress the photographer. But generally, the girls did great.

At the judging panel, Jodilly, Josephine and Nicole were acclaimed by the judges, securing the top three spots, giving Josephine her fourth non-consecutive top three appearance, a feat held by Sheena as well. Marie and Sneha showed improvement and received mixed reactions from the panel. Jodilly and Josephine both gave romantic shots, with Josephine slightly off the concept as she seemed to have paid more attention to the male models on her photo than to the car, which should have been the major point of the shoot. Tia and Janice were critiqued for appearing lost and consistently delivering nothing through their shots. Tia delivered too much "ego", while Janice's 'pull-my-hair' poses were awkward, despite her swagger. Last week's best photo winner Natalie, who was slowly improving, seemed to have taken a step back as she looked like she was staggering in pain on her photo. Generally, all the girls showed some improvement.

At the backstage, the drama heated up as Nicole felt offended by what Janice told the judges, Janice defended herself and made the other girls felt bad and tense. Back to the judging panel, it was revealed that Jodilly received her first call-out, the first one for the Philippines. Janice and Tia found themselves in the bottom two, both for their third times. Just before Nadya handed out both photos to both of them, Nadya confessed that they were actually both going home, due to their dull performances, but since this was a predetermined non-elimination episode, both girls got to stay and compete for another week. However, both girls would have five lesser frames than the other girls for the next photo shoot.

Episode 7: The Girl Who is in the Spotlight

First aired February 19, 2014

On the way back to the penthouse, Janice and Nicole, on board in the same car, started to have another argument which made Nicole wanted to get out of the moving car on their way home. Back in the house, Tia was frustrated about her last photo and began to doubt herself whether she was a model. In the house Janice apologized to Nicole again, and Nicole taught Janice how to properly apologize. For the next challenge, the girls needed to create the day and night look in two different occasions in front of the judges, Joey and Adam. Five models were appointed out of the challenge and would become the partner for the girls still in the challenge to help these latter girls with their makeover. Sheena chose Josephine since they're both from the same country. Surprisingly Nicole picked Janice, acknowledging that Janice had been making real effort to mend her attitude toward her and all the girls.

Later, they had a photo shoot mostly about hair. Coco Lee became the special guest judge on the set, along with Mike Rosenthal. Janice and Tia, who were supposed to be eliminated last week, received 10 frames, while the rest of the girls got 15. In the judging panel, the judges loved Marie's energy, Nicole's edginess, and Sheena's elegant poses, made them secured the top three spots. On the other hand, Janice, Sneha and Tia found themselves again in the bottom three spot for their weak photos. Nadya handed Tia's picture as she was declared safe from elimination, leaving Janice and Sneha as the bottom two models. However, Nadya handed a blank photo, revealing that both Janice and Sneha were doubly eliminated, much to the dismay of the other girls.

The girls must stay calm throughout the campaign despite the millipedes kept bugging them during the filming of the ads.

For photo session, they had to be made over by US-based make up artist Rob Scheppy, each with a different "Jungle Warrior Princess" persona. Natalie struggled as the smoke from the torches she held made her eyes tear up during her shoot. Katarina and Jodilly excelled the photo shoot, while Nicole had struggled, despite some very good direction from Mike Rosenthal and Adam Williams. Sheena pleaded Adam and Mike to help her win a first call-out. Marie who couldn't swim, once fell from the boat but she kept trying. After the shoot, the girls arrived at their new penthouse. The Malaysian girls, Josephine and Sheena, received the biggest room, and invited Marie and Natalie to sleep with them.

The girls were then sent to a go-see challenge with the Harper's Bazaar Malaysia where they met the editor-in-chief. Katarina was called first but the editor was not impressed with her catwalk.
