The girls are have an early call to Milton Keynes
SnowZone for their first photo shoot, where they are forced to withstand temperatures as low as -5 °C whilst wearing bikinis. Abigail feels that her breasts are quite large compared to the other girls. Yvette failed to impress in her look.
The next day, the girls went to a military camp to compete an obstacle course. Some girls struggled in obstacle training while Yvette suffers a scar in her leg. Asha won the obstacle course challenge and she chose 4 friends to join her (Nina, Samantha, Sarah and Sophia) on a shopping spree and to get a cocktail at the Waldorf Hilton
. Immediately Lianna feels like an outsider, not getting along with the other girls. During the deliberation, Sarah and Tamar were praised for their photos and especially for their runway walks. Jasmia and Yvette are in the bottom two, Jasmia for her poor photo ability, and Yvette for showing low self-esteem and for having a terrible photo. Jasmia was spared, and Yvette became the first girl to be sent home.
The remaining contestants arrived at Brighton & Hove Dog Track
where they met Michelle Paradise for a catwalk lesson. They wore garbage bags
to learn how to deal with distractions on the catwalk and walk dogs down a makeshift runway on the track. Jasmia won the challenge and chose 4 friends (Tamar, Lucy, Lianna & Amber) for a dinner treat back at the house. The losers have to serve them as dishwashers, waitresses and assistant chefs with celebrity chef Ian Pengelley cooking food for the winners. They had an ice cream disaster and it fell on the floor many times while Abigail throws a tantrum.
The next day, the girls were paired up in the following six groups to pose for a 1940's inspired, B&W homme and femme photo shoot: Abigail & Sarah, Amber & Jasmia, Asha & Samantha, Georgina & Lucy, Lianna & Nina, & Sophia & Tamar. During the photo shoot, Nina appeared topless and she didn't help Lianna when Lianna couldn't choose her trousers. The following day after the photo shoot, they got their makeovers and there were inevitable tears. Sophia realized that her hair wasn't Strawberry Blonde; Tamar was shocked when her hair was dyed brown. Lianna said that Sophia didn't like her cut or color at all and that she felt like an old woman. Sophia tried to convince Lisa that she really liked it and that she was pleased, despite being in tears.
During the judging panel, Most of the girls excelled, with good photos. Samantha improved her walk but not her photo shoot. Nina's photo wasn't sensual enough and was too aggressive. Lianna also looked bad and bland, with no expression in her eyes during the photo shoot. Both Nina and Lianna were in bottom two, having been considered the worst in the bunch, but the judges felt that Lianna's face was striking thus she was saved from elimination. Nina was eliminated from the competition.
The girls went to 20th Century Theater to learn cheesecake pin-up and dancing from Britain's own 'Queen of Burlesque' Immodesty Blaize

The girls head to a manor for a perfume commercial set from casting director Beth Charkham. They have to go underwater in the pool along with male model and recite the perfume's tagline in French: "Alors,est-ce que tu m'aimes?" ("So do you love me?"). Tamar feels that her first commercial is very difficult. Georgina and Amber had to face their fear of deep water. Amber and Lucy received harsh criticism for their commercials but Abigail won the challenge. Abigail picks Samantha, Sophia and Georgina for their prize - an evening outfit for dinner in a top London restaurant. After, they proceed to a club for a dance, along with two male models. Tensions rise between Lianna and Asha about their efforts in the competition.
The next day, they met Hilary for facing a burlesque photo shoot theme. At the elimination panel, Abigail was told that she had the best picture of the week, Lianna's improvement in both shoot and personality was commended and so as Lucy's good photo shoot which Blaize said she look like a "beautiful China Doll". Asha's commercial got a laugh for her side mouth kiss with the male model, but Jonathan told her that her pose was undignified and unfeminine. She found herself in the bottom two along with Amber. Amber's beauty didn't come through in her pictures but she was given another chance, and Asha was eliminated.
The remaining models learned about ballroom dancing from top ballroom dancer Brendan Cole
but Lianna struggles to perform because, as she states, she is much more accustomed to doing sports like football. Then they do a full dance with music. Tamar, who had prior dance training, excelled, winning the challenge. She selected Jasmia and Lucy to have a dinner in Oxo Hotel with Brendan as her reward.

Tamar's photo got mixed reviews, and she landed in the bottom two, along with Lucy. Tamar's challenge win saved her, and Lucy was eliminated for not being versatile enough.
The girls were taken to Destination Gym where they train with personal trainer Chris Mundle, with Sophia struggling to keep up in the workout. Then straight after training, the girls were divided into groups of two and put into separate cars for a go-see challenge for a clothing company without the chance to shower after their workout.

Lisa said that millions of home viewers would see the commercial. The judges decided in a split decision to eliminate two girls this week.
In the end, Tamar and Georgina were in the bottom two and were both eliminated when Lisa pulled out a blank photo, shocking the remaining girls. Tamar was sent home due to her inability to hide her large legs in pictures; Georgina was sent home because her face didn't photograph well.
With another two girls gone, the house became even more divided. Abigail saw a Lisa Mail above personal luggages. The girls met top style expert Saffron Aldridge, who mercilessly went through their wardrobes. They had a one-on-one with Lisa, and some girls took the opportunity to bring other girls down.
The girls had a photo shoot where they had to cover each other with paint along with a Ford Fiesta

Lianna and Sarah found themselves in the bottom two, both for the second time, with the judges doubting their desire to become models. In the end, Lianna's unique face and superior portfolio earned her the last place on the plane to Marrakech, and Sarah was sent home.

During the judging panel, all three girls got good feedback for their photos, and Lianna was told that her photo was her best so far. The judges had a difficult time making a decision, but in the end Abigail and Jasmia landed in the bottom two.

Week 8
Original Airdate: 11 September 2006With another two girls gone, the house became even more divided. Abigail saw a Lisa Mail above personal luggages. The girls met top style expert Saffron Aldridge, who mercilessly went through their wardrobes. They had a one-on-one with Lisa, and some girls took the opportunity to bring other girls down.
The girls had a photo shoot where they had to cover each other with paint along with a Ford Fiesta

for the remainder of the competition, but there was only room for four of them. Amber's improvement was noted, and she was sent to Marrakech, along with Abigail and Jasmia.

where they have a challenge to find an outfit for Lisa. They were split into two groups (Abigail and Lianna, Jasmia and Amber) to buy the outfits. Abigail and Lianna won the challenge and they spent time in Moroccan spa and massage while the losers cooked vegetables for the winners. Back at the villa, tensions arose when Abigail and Jasmia had a big argument that continued on into the next morning.
The girls arrived in a rural desert area for their photoshoot. Jasmia and Abigail had the strongest photos, and both advanced to the next round. Lianna found herself in the bottom two again, along with Amber. Lianna was saved from elimination, and Amber was sent home due to her inability to move well in pictures and her general lack of expression.

for their final photo shoot. Lianna cried during the shoot because the pressure was getting to her. Jasmia was not impressed with Lianna's breakdown, thinking it was unprofessional. During the judging panel, all three girls got good feedback for their photos, and Lianna was told that her photo was her best so far. The judges had a difficult time making a decision, but in the end Abigail and Jasmia landed in the bottom two. Jasmia was eliminated for having a one-note look, leaving Abigail and Lianna to face off in the final runway show.

After a tough decision, the girls were called back and it was revealed that Lianna was Britain's Next Top Model.
