The 15 finalists arrived in Bangkok and were taken to a Buddhist temple for a meditation lesson before taking part in a styling challenge at the local market, where they were split into teams of five.

In preparation for an upcoming challenge, the contestants received a message from Candice Swanepoel regarding the importance of body endurance, fitness, and strength in the field of modeling.

At the challenge, they were faced with an arduous and grueling obstacle course in which the winner received $2,000 worth of fitness apparel and a years' supply of health supplements, before being styled as sports luxe athletes for the photo shoot.

They later had a red carpet challenge in which they had to face the press, paparazzi, and fans of the show for a mock movie premiere at the Ritz Cinema to win the chance of appearing in a national Nissan Dualis commercial.

The models were driven to the Australian Reptile Park in order to overcome their fears by touching the animals, and later had makeovers before walking in front of members of the industry and media, as well as their loved ones.

Conflict escalated after a paint fight between Ashley and Taylah turned physical, and the judges alluded that the issue would be addressed at panel.

The models then had to work in pairs to embody fugitives escaping into the Outback in a photo shoot inspired by the film Thelma and Louise.

They then took part in a casting challenge for Colgate Optic White to front one of their new campaigns, and secretly had their behaviour monitored as they reacted to awkward situations planted by producers of the show.

After an emotional discussion with Didier Cohen regarding their lives before the show, the contestants had a photo shoot with mirrors for an editorial spread to be published in Cosmopolitan.

They were later introduced to drag king Rocco DÁmore, and were dressed in male attire for a challenge in which they had to pretend to be men and stay in character whilst talking to a stranger.

The remaining four contestants were flown to the island of Mauritius to take part in two photo shoots that would help determine which three models would make it to the grand finale.

The live show opened with a catwalk performance from the fifteen models to Rudimental's song "Feel the Love", and the judges were asked their opinions of the final three.

The final shoot for the cover and spread in Harper's Bazaar was shown, and the judges interviewed their favorite girls on their thoughts about their careers and modelling.
