n reality
documentary
based on Tyra Banks
America's Next Top Model
.
The host of the show was Lena Gercke
, the first winner of GNTM who is also the first winner of a Top Model franchise that later becomes a host of another Top Model show. The jury consisted of the head of Vienna-based agency Wiener Models Andrea Weidler and Dutch-born runway coach Alamande Belfor.
The show caused some controversy, as it was discovered that Tamara Puljarevic, one of the contestants, applied under her father's surname to hide her identity of being the daughter of Svetlana Puljarevic, who is the executive chief of Miss magazine, on whose cover the winner would eventually be featured. She eventually made it to the 2nd runner-up-position but was ultimately surpassed by 16-year-old Larissa Marolt, who was named the first Austria's Next Topmodel and went on to compete on the fourth Cycle of Germany's Next Topmodel hosted by Heidi Klum
.
100 selected girls arrived at Vienna's
Hofburg Imperial Palace
to find out if they had what it takes to be Austria's Next Topmodel. After an introduction of Lena Gercke and the judges, the girls had their first challenge: To prepare an outfit consisting of an Austrian flag only. At the audition round, Piroschka burst into tears after the judges criticized her for giving an interview to the press about her participation while Larissa made a lasting impression with impersonation of her father's speaking habits. At the end of the day, thirty girls were left and taken to their future model loft. They soon found it only had ten beds, meaning that twenty more girls would soon be eliminated.
The second day started with the very first runway training with judge Alamande Belfor and make-up artist Boris Entrup, with the latter being a judge from Germany's Next Topmodel. Entrup gave the girls advice on how to improve their looks on their first job: a fashion show for Thang de Hoo at -10 degrees at the Cobenzl.
Some of the girls struggled, including Christiane, who lost her shoes on her way up to the runway. However, the overall consensus was that they all did a very good job considering they were total newbies to the fashion industry.
At the end of the day, the top twelve were revealed one after another. Before Gercke revealed the final girl, she called twin sisters Patricia and Bianca, and Nasthryka up. In the end, Nasthryka was the last model to make it.
The girls were taken to a beauty salon for make-overs, including some intense changes. While Larissa, Tamara and Birgit were emotional about the makeovers, Julia was rather impressed by the new look she received.
After their first casting for an Haute Couture award show, the ten finalists arrived on the set for their photoshoot, photographed by well-known Austrian photographer, Sepp Gallauer. While Larissa, Julia, Kordula and Kim impressed Gallauer on first sight and were asked to get photographed at first, the rest of the group expressed their views about Larissa. Tamara accused Larissa of wearing the same clothes as her to directly compete with her, which resulted in a heated debate between the two girls on the set. The situation stole everyone's attention and was deemed was unprofessional by Andrea Weidler.
At the next runway session, Kim struggled the most and was the only competitor not chosen to walk at the awards show.
In the reward challenge the girls received the chance to collect as many clothes as possible in a fashion store within five minutes to create a suitable outfit to their new looks. Larissa and Victoria were declared the winners and as Lena revealed that the reward would be a coach ride through Vienna. The other models then said how they really didn't need the prize, but Lena then announced the two winners have actually won a one-day trip to New York
and will be immune
from the first elimination, quickly changing the minds of many girls. While Larissa and Victoria were on their way to New York
, Tamara, Constanzia and Birgit once again talked about Larissa.
At the judging panel, Kordula was the only girl that impressed the judges in the last week while the rest of the finalists was heavily criticized. Birgit found herself in the bottom two for her arrogant attitude next to Piroschka who was told to be almost invisible during the last week. In the end, a teary Piroschka was sent home for not showing any signs of improvement.
Before the girls went to their first trip they had had to do two out of three photoshoots for the week. First got photographed for the promotions published by Puls 4 where Larissa and Tamara once more got in trouble. Then it was time for haute couture as the remaining nine learned they would be the models for the 2009 edition of the Style Bible that is published next to the annual Life Ball
, Austria's biggest charity event. They wore dresses combined with shrimps, water lilies and jellyfishes as the theme of this years ball would be Water.
Arrived in Bregenz
, Boris Entrup and two stuntmen told them about this weeks challenge: To become the female James Bond
and reshoot at sequence from the latest Bond movie Quantum of Solace, which was shot there as well. While Kim once more was pointed out as the weakest among the girls, Constanzia was delighted to learn that she has won the challenge and had to chose three girls who would attend a Kid Rock
concert with her including a Meet & Greet afterward. She chose Tamara, Kordula and Birgit. However, Birgit gave her ticket to Kim after feeling her disappointment about doing the worst in the challenge and Kordula decided to give Julia the reward.
The girls then travelled to Ischgl
were they met their partner for the newest photoshoot: Nine Huskies with whom they have to pose upon skis in snow. At the casting for sports company Hervis the marketing director made a surprising decision in eliminating both Larissa and her nemesis Tamara in the pre-round already. The eventual winner was Julia who would become the new face of their spring campaign.
Back in Vienna SK Rapid Wien
footballer Stefan Maierhofer
welcomed the contestants and gave them some sport instructions to get their bodies in better shape as most of the girls did not train enough before which resulted in some fancying behaviour by the remaining nine and especially Tamara admitted that she would "not kick him out of my bed".
At the judging panel the flirt between Maierhofer and Tamara continued while some girls got heavily criticised and all the girls thinking that Christiane and Kim would be in danger of elimination as they did the worst in the last week according to their opinion.
The elimination ceremony was cut from the episode which ended with a cliffhanger.
Last weeks elimination was shown in the beginning of the episode. Birgit once again finds herself in the bottom two for lacking of passion and not showing any significant improvements. Next to her Kim was in danger of elimination for her weak walk. Birgit was eliminated.
After that Lena told the girls that their next photoshoot would be done naked while they would only wear color as the theme was Bodypainting. All the girls had to portray one animal as follows:
While Tamara and Constanzia struggled at the shoot Victoria and Kim were praised for delivering great photos in a very short time.
For reaching the place for the next challenge the girls had to go down in a channel which was immensely stressful for Christiane as she suffered from claustrophobia. After they finally arrive in a pelvic they met Boris and one of Austria's few male international top models Domenique Melchior. Divided in two groups of four the girls had to do poses as in the legendary Third Man
film which was set in Vienna too. The group of Tamara, Constanzia, Kordula and Victoria were declared the lucky winners who would make a trip to Dubai
where they were enjoying a day in a spa, with 36 degrees and made photoshoot in swimsuit.
At the judging panel the girls got surprised as the family and friends came and visit them while a lot of them were fascinated by their new given looks.
The task this week was to do a walk with one garment of their loved ones and doing one action combined with a certain emotion randomly chosen by Lena. As she was given the order of singing sexy Kordula burst out in tears because she felt uncomfortable with singing while Christiane struggled as she had to flirt with guest judge Domenique Melchior. Both girls were send home in a double elimination at the end of the episode while Constanzia, who was put in the bottom three for taking 45 minutes to deliver a good photo at the latest shoot, was saved.
The girls were travelled to international VIP
-destination Kitzbühel
where they had to fill two shop windows of an exclusive fashion story with themselves as the store dummies. Not only did they had to chose a suitable outfit it was also up to who would stand still the longest. As Constanzia did the best in both of it she was declared the winner of the challenge for the third time in a row. She then had to chose out of different robes one for each of the girls for a high-society event the top 6 would attend in the evening. Some of the girls were rather unimpressed by the choices Constanzia made for them.
The contestants had to walk the red-carpet for the first time in their lives and at an interview several of them struggled with giving smart but entertaining answers to the press. What they did not know was that this was their next challenge in which Julia did the best and won the reward to spend the night and next day in a luxurious Hotel. She shared the reward with Kim while the other four girls had to sleep in hay in the hotel's stable. While three of them enjoyed this experience Victoria suffered from a supposedly allergy and was criticised by the other girls for her princess-like behaviour and fake personality behind her back.
On the location for their newest photoshoot at Swarovski Chrystall Worlds the remaining six learned that the photos would be made by themselves and the two best shoots from each of them would end up in a charity calendar for which the girls have to decide the subject. They chose to donate the incoming money for abused women in Africa.
Back in Vienna the girls got mails from their families and friends and Tamara admitted to be the daughter of Miss executive director and auditioned under another name to not get disqualified for that. After all, Miss is the magazine the winner would land a cover on.
After another runway lesson the girls were introduced to the editor of fashion magazine Haute Eva Dichand who was asking them about names from the industry and it became obvious that the girls did not really had a clue about most of them.
At the panel of judges Tamara was put in the bottom two for struggling lately and not belonging to the best competitors anymore. Also in the bottom two was Julia who had problems during the photoshoot and at the live runway walk in front of the judges. However, the final verdict of the week remained unknown and the episode once again ended with a cliffhanger.
The episode began with the elimination of Julia because she was not able to take control over her facial expressions during the photoshoots and walk.
The remaining girls then went on to fashion metropolis Milan
where they met a casting director of fashion agency Beatrice Models who was choosing different castings they had to attend for each of them but Tamara who did not have the required measurements for the industry in the city.
For not arriving too late for the other castings, both Constanzia and Victoria decided to not attend their first appointment while Kim only made it to one agency as she completely lost orientation in the foreign city. Only Larissa was able to pick up all the appointments the agency made for her and therefore won the reward challenge and the right to attend acting lessons at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Institute in New York
. However, at one casting where Victoria arrived earlier than her, Larissa snubbed her and still went into the casting room before her competitor which resulted in an outcry from the others girls accusing her for cheating and being self-absorbed.
After some arguments between the girls both Lena and judge Andrea Weidler spoke privately to some of the girls on the set of their newest photoshoot which would be used for the winner's Miss cover. Lena learned that Victoria is isolated from the group and Andrea told Tamara and Kim that they would be the weakest links as of now.
All of them got the chance to keep themselves in the competitor as they were responsible for their next photoshoot whose theme was Made in Austria. Each of the five girls was put together with a team of stylists, decorator and photographer and while most of the girls got impressive results Constanzia did not impress as her outcome was according to Lena Rather some Discoqueen from the 70s or something like that.
When Kim noticed that her supposedly best friend Larissa was saying she would be slow in minds to the camera she confronted her with the help of Tamara but as the argument was declared as fixed both promised that they would be honest to each other from now on in the contest.
At the panel of judges all of the five girls got asked who they think should be Austria's Next Topmodel and who should be eliminated next. Each of them named themselves as who should be the winner and four of them refused to answer the other question. Only Victoria, still angry of the casting incident, named Larissa as the weakest competitor for being too egoistic. For that Victoria got in fight with Larissa who was even defended by her former arch-rival Tamara.
However at the runway walk Victoria scored high with the judges who noticed that her aggressive mood worked well for her charisma. Both her and Tamara were immediately given their photographes which indicated they passed onto the next round other than Kim, who was send home for still not being able to do a proper walk and being completely lost in Milan when she was on her own. As Larissa received the last photograph from Lena Constanzia was let to believe that she would also be eliminated but in a GNTM-like announcement she received her photo by Andrea Weidler and was send into the next round where she would face not more than only three other competitors.
On their final trip the remaining four girls were taken with a helicopter to Graz
where they met Lena at the airport who told them that she would soon take the Austria's Next Topmodel from where they are standing to Los Angeles
to meet Heidi Klum
.
When they received their last Lena-Mail in a luxurious hotel suite they learned that only three of them would be able to spent the next night there, as one of them would be eliminated before.
At the panel of judges the girls were judged based upon their Made in Austria-photos from the last week as well as on their entire performance throughout the competition. Victoria got emotional for the very first time during the competition as her personality was criticised by the judges but the decision remained between school-friends Constanzia and Tamara who were both described as "It-girls rather than models" by Lena. In the end Constanzia was denied a place among the top 3 for her unimpressive performance as Lena stated that is was not enough that she could save her anymore.
Directly after the latest departure the remaining three were taken to the photoshoot for the Swarovsky Chrystallized campaign the winner would be the face of. At the final runway training judge Alamande let the girls walk upon soap which resulted in several fall overs. In the evening Tamara, Larissa and Victoria took the opportunity to speak to each other and made up with the arguments they had the last couple of weeks and gave each other advices in how they could do better in the business.
When the final day arrived the final 3 had breakfast with Lena and Andrea who told them that it was time for the very last photoshoot of the show. In beliefs of getting photographed with wild animals the girls were full of joy as a cage was released in which their mothers were waiting for them. In traditional Dirndl-dresses the mother-daughter couples were photographed together and ironically, of the three of them it were Tamara and her mother, the executive chief of Miss-magazine, struggled the most with it and they were ultimately eliminated at the panel of judges and Victoria and Larissa learned that they were the final 2 of Austria's Next Topmodel.
The final ceremony consisted of three different walks which was also a reunion with the entire top 10. After a round of wearing casual clothes and swimsuits the girls presented the line of Judge Guest Atila Kutoglu who was so impressed by the unique look of Victoria and the positive charisma of Larissa that he invited the eventual winner to take part on his next show in New York.
Then it was time to make the final verdict of the show and when the judges came to a decision Lena took the surprised final two away from the crowd directly to the airport for the ultimate announcement.
In the end Lena released a Miss cover that featured a happy Larissa meaning she was the just declared Austria's Next Topmodel and carried directly to Los Angeles to take part on the fourth Cycle of Germany's Next Topmodel
where her journey would continue on another show.

After some arguments between the girls both Lena and judge Andrea Weidler spoke privately to some of the girls on the set of their newest photoshoot which would be used for the winner's Miss cover. Lena learned that Victoria is isolated from the group and Andrea told Tamara and Kim that they would be the weakest links as of now.
All of them got the chance to keep themselves in the competitor as they were responsible for their next photoshoot whose theme was Made in Austria. Each of the five girls was put together with a team of stylists, decorator and photographer and while most of the girls got impressive results Constanzia did not impress as her outcome was according to Lena Rather some Discoqueen from the 70s or something like that.
When Kim noticed that her supposedly best friend Larissa was saying she would be slow in minds to the camera she confronted her with the help of Tamara but as the argument was declared as fixed both promised that they would be honest to each other from now on in the contest.
At the panel of judges all of the five girls got asked who they think should be Austria's Next Topmodel and who should be eliminated next. Each of them named themselves as who should be the winner and four of them refused to answer the other question. Only Victoria, still angry of the casting incident, named Larissa as the weakest competitor for being too egoistic. For that Victoria got in fight with Larissa who was even defended by her former arch-rival Tamara.
However at the runway walk Victoria scored high with the judges who noticed that her aggressive mood worked well for her charisma. Both her and Tamara were immediately given their photographes which indicated they passed onto the next round other than Kim, who was send home for still not being able to do a proper walk and being completely lost in Milan when she was on her own. As Larissa received the last photograph from Lena Constanzia was let to believe that she would also be eliminated but in a GNTM-like announcement she received her photo by Andrea Weidler and was send into the next round where she would face not more than only three other competitors.

When they received their last Lena-Mail in a luxurious hotel suite they learned that only three of them would be able to spent the next night there, as one of them would be eliminated before.
At the panel of judges the girls were judged based upon their Made in Austria-photos from the last week as well as on their entire performance throughout the competition. Victoria got emotional for the very first time during the competition as her personality was criticised by the judges but the decision remained between school-friends Constanzia and Tamara who were both described as "It-girls rather than models" by Lena. In the end Constanzia was denied a place among the top 3 for her unimpressive performance as Lena stated that is was not enough that she could save her anymore.
Directly after the latest departure the remaining three were taken to the photoshoot for the Swarovsky Chrystallized campaign the winner would be the face of. At the final runway training judge Alamande let the girls walk upon soap which resulted in several fall overs. In the evening Tamara, Larissa and Victoria took the opportunity to speak to each other and made up with the arguments they had the last couple of weeks and gave each other advices in how they could do better in the business.
When the final day arrived the final 3 had breakfast with Lena and Andrea who told them that it was time for the very last photoshoot of the show. In beliefs of getting photographed with wild animals the girls were full of joy as a cage was released in which their mothers were waiting for them. In traditional Dirndl-dresses the mother-daughter couples were photographed together and ironically, of the three of them it were Tamara and her mother, the executive chief of Miss-magazine, struggled the most with it and they were ultimately eliminated at the panel of judges and Victoria and Larissa learned that they were the final 2 of Austria's Next Topmodel.
The final ceremony consisted of three different walks which was also a reunion with the entire top 10. After a round of wearing casual clothes and swimsuits the girls presented the line of Judge Guest Atila Kutoglu who was so impressed by the unique look of Victoria and the positive charisma of Larissa that he invited the eventual winner to take part on his next show in New York.
Then it was time to make the final verdict of the show and when the judges came to a decision Lena took the surprised final two away from the crowd directly to the airport for the ultimate announcement.
In the end Lena released a Miss cover that featured a happy Larissa meaning she was the just declared Austria's Next Topmodel and carried directly to Los Angeles to take part on the fourth Cycle of Germany's Next Topmodel
