The international destinations for this cycle were Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Madrid, Milan, Los Angeles, New York City, Miami, Sydney, Shanghai and Majorca.

After finishing the photo shoot in the dunes, the girls in team Michael faced a runway challenge featuring Toni.

At elimination, the unsafe contestants were Fred, Lara-Kristin, Saskia, Sophie and Laura Penelope, who was originally safe from elimination but landed in the bottom for refusing to have her dreadlocks cut, and was given the choice of staying in the competition on the condition that she allow her dreadlocks to be cut, or going home.

At the elimination, the girls presented team-themed Haute Couture dresses, with model Andreja Pejić first teaching and later judging them.

Team Thomas faced two castings, one for Indie magazine, where Taynara, Jasmin and Julia were booked for the job, doing a prom-themed photoshoot.

They later faced a runway challenge vying for a chance to participate in a casting for Berlin Fashion Week, where the girls had to walk in shoes not their size.

One segment focused on Camilla from Team Thomas stumbling while walking the challenge and breaking a toe.

Luana was booked for the runway job, got to close the show and later received immunity this week because she could not make it in time for the photoshoot.

The teams headed to Sydney for a nude photo shoot in a jungle, involving Australian animals.

For the elimination, the girls did a red carpet walk in front of the Sydney skyline, with guest designer Michael Costello dressing them.

At the elimination, the girls portrayed "space goddesses", walking on rough underground in metallic and stiff outfits.

This time, Thomas and Michael were present at the shoot, giving the girls directions and helping them create beautiful images.

Both of them opted for Jasmin to have produced the best image; as a prize; she won a brand new Opel Adam (although she didn't have a driver's license).

For this purpose, they acted out a scene with a male model and did a mini photoshoot with a perfume campaign in mind.

The next day, Thomas and Michael prepared the girls for the upcoming Philips casting, at which Elena C. managed to land the job.

Later, Thomas and Michael visited the girls in their villa to host a challenge: They had to create an outfit from their own and given Levi's clothes and present it to the judges, showcasing their personal style.

This week's photo shoot took place in a haunted mansion with male model Tim Neff.

Kim and Elena C. flew to New York City after being chosen by Heidi last week to go to the amfAR gala.

The three of them attended the red carpet event and then flew right back to Los Angeles for this week's photoshoot.

At the elimination, the girls portrayed Old Hollywood divas, walking down a red carpet in elegant outfits.

Each girl and their counterpart shot in various sets, including a bath tub, portraying a pillow fight etc.

Before the obligatory cover shooting for Cosmopolitan, Heidi took the girls out for In-N-Out burgers and to a shop where they created their very own 3D action figure.

After the shows, it was particularly difficult to decide who would not move on to the finale because, as Heidi emphasized, none of the girls had performed badly.

In the end, she decided for Lara to be eliminated, whereas Kim (as the lonely representer for Team Michael), Fata and Elena C. directly reached the finale.

Jasmin and Taynara landed in the bottom two, but also moved on, making this season the first time that five contestants were let into the finale.
