On the weekly elimination, the girls are asked to walk in pairs of two with a mask and instructions by runway coach Jorge.

The group of Florence, Christien, and Ivon who were paired together on the photo shoot find themselves in the bottom three together.

The Top 20 is determined with Ivon being eliminated and an announcement is made that the next destination is Los Angeles.

Christien is eliminated shortly after their arrival in America because the judges think that she hasn't improved herself at all after weeks.

At this week's photo shoot the contestants have to pose in a high-voltage electric box while laughing a lot.

At the end Amira is eliminated because the judges think that she hasn't shown enough of her personality although being one of the most beautiful women among the other contestants.

The girls do an artistic photo shoot for Cirque du Soleil where Jana and Amelie are deemed best while Rebecca struggles for the first time as well as Tahnee and Simone.

The remaining girls have to play a commercial for shoes where Amelie performs best and Lisa is deemed worst.

In the evening Heidi visits the girls in their villa where they do a catwalk training and bake pizza.

Each group has to find the perfect outfit that matches the given topic: 50's, hippie and American lifestyle.

The girls have a teaching where they have to take pictures and change clothes within  a few minutes where Sihe and Anna-Lena struggle.

Jana and Lisa's photos are deemed worst, while Anna-Lena, Amelie, Sihe and Aleksandra are also critiqued for not being as good as usual.

Jana is critiqued for her walk and her picture, where she looks way too hard for a beauty shot, but she reaches the next round due to her job and past performance.

The show hit US-American news when the mansion in Los Angeles in which the final 15 competitors were supposed to live burnt down one day before filming, with firefighter Glenn Allen being killed.
